The World Revolves Around Me

"Who are you?"

This is neither a question nor a challenge, but simply an inquiry.

As if believing that speaking out would guarantee an answer, the girl naively voiced her question.

Therefore, Fang Li tilted his head, met the girl's gaze, smiled indifferently, and answered in this way.

"At least one thing is certain: I will never be a hero, Miss Priscilla."

Upon hearing Fang Li's words, it was not the girl herself who reacted, but Subaru Natsuki.

Priscilla?

Subaru Natsuki raised his head, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"Why does this name sound so familiar?"

It's only natural that Subaru Natsuki name familiar.

After all, having lived in the Royal Capital for a whole month, and at Reinhard's house, Subaru Natsuki had learned some things.

Among them are some famous figures.

And the arrogant girl in front of us is such a person.

Priscilla.

Full name: Priscilla Barielle.

Barielle is a famous nobleman in the Dragon-Affiliated Kingdom of Lugnica. Like the Mezas Clan, he was granted territory.

However, Priscilla was not a blood relative of Barielle, but rather the wife of the previous head of the family. After the sudden death of the head of the Barielle family, she inherited all his property and territory.

However, Barielle was not Priscilla's only husband who died suddenly.

This 19-year-old girl married seven husbands at a very young age.

However, all of the girls' husbands died for various reasons before they could even touch her.

For this reason, Priscilla is quite famous in the kingdom.

She is known as the "Blood-Colored Bride".

Of course, there's another reason why Priscilla is famous.

"One of the successors to the throne of Dragon-Affiliated Kingdom of Lugnica, actually came to this kind of alleyway to watch the well-meaning person who came to his rescue being beaten up by a group of thugs who intended to harm him?"

Fang Li chuckled and said to the girl, "What an interesting interest."

"That's right." Subaru Natsuki immediately chimed in, then suddenly snapped out of his daze and opened his eyes wide.

"One of the candidates for the throne?" Subaru Natsuki looked at the girl in utter astonishment, raising his voice to exclaim, "You're the Black Widow known as the ' Blood-Colored Bride '?"

"Only now have you discovered my true identity?" Priscilla said matter-of-factly. "You don't even know I exist? What kind of Jester did you come from?"

"...I see." Subaru Natsuki covered his face.

"Is she a haughty noble lady? Is she the kind who's arrogant on the outside but soft on the inside? If I can peel away her arrogant facade, I can complete the conquest?"

"But, becoming a candidate for the throne, isn't that too difficult?"

Seeing Subaru Natsuki still lying on the ground, talking to himself with a tearful expression, Priscilla frowned.

"What on earth is this Jester talking about? Is he trying to amuse me with his ridiculous language? That's just utterly unfunny monkey show!"

"Thank you so much for your harsh and unpleasant evaluation, Miss!" Subaru Natsuki's face was slightly distorted, whether from anger or humiliation, as he yelled at Priscilla, "Why is Akito in such a thankless and difficult position when she's so beautiful?"

Priscilla responded to Subaru Natsuki's words with a look of disdain.

"It is common knowledge that I am beautiful, and the world always revolves around me. It is not clever of you to try to please me with such a self-evident statement. You should just continue playing your monkey show."

After saying that, Priscilla raised the closed fan in her hand and pointed it at Fang Li.

"Furthermore, I already told you that you were allowed to give your name, yet you sent this Jester to deal with me?"

Fang Li couldn't help but frown at the arrogant attitude.

(How arrogant of him...)

Isn't that right?

If Fang Li hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Fang Li really wouldn't have believed that there was actually anyone in this world who was so confident as to think that the world revolved around her.

But there just happens to be one right in front of me.

Moreover, it's not just an act; they genuinely believe it.

Of course, to some extent, what the other party said was not wrong.

Because Priscilla is also a lucky one who has received blessings.

That is the Blessing of the Sun.

The buff provides various action corrections during the day.

In other words, as long as it's daytime, whatever Priscilla does or takes action will eventually correct the situation and steer it in her favor.

The seven husbands who were cursed to death by Priscilla were perhaps all killed because of this protection, even though they never touched a single finger of hers.

Given this, it's not surprising that the other party would think the world revolves around them.

Unfortunately, Fang Li just wouldn't have it this time.

"You said the world revolves around you, right?"

Fang Li looked up and suddenly smiled at Priscilla.

"In that case, the world will eventually reveal my origins to you, so there's no need to ask, right?"

"And..." Fang Li slowly walked towards Priscilla and stood in front of Priscilla.

"Hmm?" Priscilla looked at Fang Li with a puzzled expression.

The next second, Fang Li suddenly reached out, grabbed Priscilla's chin, and lifted her face to face him.

Priscilla's crimson eyes began to change.

It has become dangerous.

However, Fang Li seemed not to see anything at all. He rather flirtatiously pinched Priscilla's chin, lifted her small face, and leaned in close enough to be almost a kiss to speak softly to her.

"I don't know what kind of men your previous seven husbands were, but I want to tell you that men don't like women who are too assertive."

"If you don't want to become an old woman who can't get married in the future and waste this good appearance, you'd better restrain yourself."

"After all, just because the world revolves around you doesn't mean men will revolve around you..."

After saying that, Fang Li released Priscilla's jaw, picked up Subaru Natsuki who was lying on the ground staring blankly, and dragged him out of the alley like a piece of trash.

Only Priscilla remained, staring intently in the direction Fang Li had left. After a long while, she suddenly laughed.

That smile was both cruel and full of childlike innocence.

"How dare you say such things to me?"

"Interesting, then let me see if you'll revolve around me..."
