Host, the villain's corruption level has exploded!

Chapter 96: My Prince (25)

Song Zhishu couldn't help but sigh, handing the kite to Eder. Seeing his bewildered expression, she frowned and said matter-of-factly, "What? Take it now."

Edel remained silent for a moment, then finally spoke: "Princess, today is your day to fly a kite..." (Not me)

Before he could finish speaking the last three words, Song Zhishu's eyes widened slightly, and she asked incredulously, "You want me to fly a kite?"

"Is there... anything surprising about this?" Edel frowned, looking completely bewildered.

"Of course there's a problem!" Song Zhishu put her hands on her hips, her breathing becoming rapid, clearly angry: "I finally got Father's permission to come out today, and you still want me to fly a kite? That...that's so tiring." Edel was speechless and helpless, but there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes that he himself didn't realize. He gave himself a reason to obey orders and willingly began to let out the line.

Song Zhishu watched from the side. The country was shrouded in shadow in the early morning, which aroused longing. All the sorrow had been secretly taken away by the stars of the night, leaving only this brief beauty and starlight along the way. She tilted her head and smiled somewhat foolishly.

Edel fiddled with the kite intently, but he couldn't change the fact that it was his first time flying a kite, so he was inevitably a bit clumsy. He frantically maneuvered the mischievous kite, and his heart would skip a beat if a gust of wind blew by. He looked ridiculously clumsy.

Clearly, Song Zhishu was one of those who found it laughable.

Before Edel could fully get used to it, he heard a loud, unsettling laugh. He turned around unhappily and saw Song Zhishu pointing at his back, laughing so hard he was rolling on the ground. This made him very unhappy.

He was always quick to criticize, so with a refined smile on his lips, he slowly approached Song Zhishu and said gently, "Princess." Song Zhishu immediately stopped smiling. Seeing Edel's gentle and captivating smile, she couldn't help but swallow hard and said, "I, I'm here."

“You too.” Edel handed the handle in his hand to Song Zhishu, tilting his head and smiling. He looked quite handsome, but Song Zhishu didn’t think so. She took it shakily and stood up with a forced, tough air: “I’ll let it go.”

She walked to the very front of the mountain, gripping the rope with one hand, anxiously trying to avoid falling. Although it wasn't very high down there, a fall wouldn't kill her, but it would still hurt for a day or two.

But how could that be? A wicked smile crept across Edel's lips as he stepped closer and said considerately, "Princess, let me teach you."

He reached out as if to grasp Song Zhishu's trembling hand, but instead gently pushed her away from behind.

Song Zhishu immediately lost her balance. In a panic, she grabbed whatever she could find to regain her equilibrium, but instead of succeeding, she pulled Eder into the water as well. Eder reacted in an instant, but his body had already involuntarily fallen in. He gritted his teeth, tightly gripped Song Zhishu's hand, and pulled her into his arms, trying to use his strong physique to reduce the painful impact. He felt a sharp pain in his back and knew that they were both safe.

He looked up at the sky and couldn't help but think of the saying, "Those who harm others will ultimately harm themselves." He lowered his head slightly, looked at the girl who was tightly holding his collar, and said, "Princess, you may leave now."

Song Zhishu was stunned for a moment, then stood up nervously, looking worriedly at Eder who was struggling to get up.
