GB: Bai Yueguang is a villain again.

"It's normal for Your Highness to have such doubts, although I know that the eldest prince didn't mean to express that. However, I still can't bear to see him being so harsh to my sister.

Besides, I didn’t actually feel offended by the princess.”

Su Mo gently placed the napkin on the table and looked up at the man with a cold face opposite him.

"So please don't punish the princess like this."

She smiled softly, but there was no smile in her blue eyes.

Seeing that Askan remained silent, she asked doubtfully, "Or... could it be that the eldest prince really thinks so?"

With Su Mo's intervention, the other party knew that they could not punish Veronica today.

He tilted his head helplessly and sighed.

"Well, since Her Highness the Goddess has said so, I will naturally not do anything."

His hawk-like eyes fell on the girl next to Su Mo again.

"Veronica, you should thank Her Highness the Goddess for her forgiveness. Otherwise, as your brother, I will make you reflect on your mistakes."

After being disturbed by her, Askan lost all interest in continuing his meal.

Putting on the gloves that had been placed aside, he nodded to Su Mo in apology.

"Today's reception was truly inadequate. I will prepare a new dinner for Her Highness the Goddess another day as an apology.

I have some official business to attend to today, so I can't continue dining with you."

He put his five fingers together and made a "please" gesture.

"Dinner is delicious. Enjoy your meal, Your Highness. I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, without waiting for Su Mo's reaction, he turned around and left the living room.

Su Mo looked at his leaving back with no expression on his face.

Veronica was a little uneasy.

She cautiously approached the goddess, whose face had turned cold.

"I'm sorry, Lady Goddess, for disturbing your interest with my rude words."

The kitten lowered its head, looking lost and pitiful.

It reminded Su of a succubus who was sleeping soundly in the room.

Giving her a reassuring smile, Su Mo stroked her smooth orange-red hair.

"Princess, don't blame yourself. I don't think there's anything wrong with what you just said."

The woman's hands were gentle, and the words she said to comfort herself were firm.

Veronica could tell that she really thought so.

In my childhood memories, I also rested my head on my mother's legs, feeling her warm and soft hands caressing my head, and listening to her tell stories that I had never heard before.

Veronica, who hadn't had such an illusion for many years, suddenly had tears in her eyes.

But she held it back tightly.

"Your Highness the Goddess..." She called Su Mo in a low voice.

"What's wrong, Princess?" The woman withdrew her hand, a little confused.

The girl shook her head.

How could she say to a woman she just met: I feel like you really are like my mother.

What's more, she is a distinguished guest from the temple.

Veronica looked up and smiled at her.

"Nothing, I just think that the goddess is really gentle."

The round pupils like a kitten narrowed slightly, and the pink corners of the mouth were curved, making her look particularly well-behaved.

Seeing her like this, who would have thought that she had just angered her brother away.

Su Mo wanted to touch her head again.

But I still held back.

"Your Highness, would you like to continue your meal?" she asked.

Veronica pursed her lips, feeling a little conflicted.

Today's food is so tempting.

Every dish is something she can hardly eat on a normal day.

There were even a few dishes that I had never seen on my table before.

Although I really want to say to Su Mo: I have no appetite either!

This is to regain the ground that Askan had just walked away from.

But she really couldn't bear to waste food!

My mother said that wasting food is the most shameful thing.

The girl did not regret her decision to question Askan at the table.

Because she thought that her royal brother had a sense of superiority.

Should men eat meat? Women only drink soup?

Letting him say it out loud would truly offend the Goddess.

Under normal circumstances, if the other party said these words, she would just swallow her anger and say nothing.

Because she didn't have a particularly good life in the palace.

But even so, she was dissatisfied with many of Askan's actions.

I don't have much power, so sometimes I can just endure it and get through it.

Veronica thought that she might just live in this muddle-headed way until she died of old age.

Or maybe one day her brother the emperor would dislike her and poison her to death.

After all, she was just a princess, and her mother left her early, so she had nothing to rely on.

When alive, he was unknown, and when dead, no one cared.

However, there is no sure path.

In this palace that she could see the end of at a glance, such a person came.

When she heard that the goddess of the Temple of Light was coming here, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night.

He is the messenger chosen by the God of Light, specifically to convey God's will to the world.

When I was a child, my mother once took me to see her from a distance.

It was a beautiful day with no clouds in the sky.

The sky was clear, the most beautiful blue she had ever seen.

These are colors that even the court painters, no matter how much they are called masters, cannot mix.

The little girl couldn't remember what her mother said at the time, but she must have been admiring the goddess's beauty or some other good qualities.

Su Mo treats everyone equally.

Like a god, he loves the world.

No matter rich or poor, high or low status.

She is really a very nice person.

Veronica wondered, if the goddess really came to the palace, could she beg her to take her away?

Just like Lucio.

Her youngest brother has now become the Holy Son of the Temple, and it is said that he was raised by the Goddess herself.

Then could she also...

I don't ask to be a saint, I just want to rescue her from this cold and indifferent palace where she has no good memories except her mother.

You can ask her to do anything.

Veronica counted the days to get through this period.

After hearing that Askan had prepared a sumptuous welcome dinner for the goddess, she had some ideas.

Although she was never favored, no palace maid dared to criticize her too harshly on her.

The palace maids who did those things were instructed by her "good brother".

Her mother gave her many instructions before leaving.

If you are bullied, you must retaliate and not be a punching bag in vain.

If that person is not as good as you, there is no need to be afraid.

Because people are creatures that bully the weak and fear the strong.

As long as you look tough, he won't dare to do anything to you.

But if that person is stronger than you, you should avoid him first.

When the time is right, you will always find an opportunity to retaliate.
