Making the Future Princess Feel So Guilty Over Mo Wang That She Wants to Die
She regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth. Mo Wang was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter. "Don't worry, I scrub the bathtub thoroughly every day! But now..."
He suddenly stopped smiling, his eyes turning sharp. "Can you tell me why you fell from the sky? And why you're wearing such strange armor?"
The Princess's breath hitched. Through the morning light, she gazed at the face she had longed for day and night—younger and more vibrant than Remembrance, untouched by the ravages of war.
"Well, I just accidentally fell from the sky while practicing flying."
At this moment, the Princess quickly came up with a reason and began to explain.
"Oh, practicing flying?"
"Yes, yes, after all, I am a True Magic."
The Princess said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
She never imagined that one day she would have to fabricate such a lie to conceal her identity.
"True Magic? Hmm~ What's your name?"
"Of course, I'm not doubting you, but as a member of the Guardian Knights, it's my duty to help every citizen who is in trouble."
Although Mo Wang said this, his gaze was still fixed on the Princess.
"Name?!"
At this moment, the Princess's face showed even more panic.
To be honest, in the future timeline, when the Princess faced Mo Wang, she maintained a calm demeanor due to the high pressure.
However, when it was her turn to go back in time, the Princess, who was no longer under so much pressure, found that she could not remain calm when she saw Mo Wang's face.
"Um, that... my name is Beatrix!"
In her panic, the Her Highness the Princess blurted out the name.
When the Future Princess uttered this name, or rather, her surname, both of them were stunned.
(How come this child is still so naive even ten years later?)
Looking at the Her Highness the Princess, Mo Wang couldn't help but think to himself, "What do you mean?" After all, most people in this country probably knew that the royal family's surname was Beatrix.
Indeed, Mo Wang had already recognized the girl in front of him; her true identity was that of the future Princess.
There's no way around it; she's just the Future Princess, and her recognizability among all the characters is simply too high.
Furthermore, even if one cannot recognize the Princess's face, at least her iconic weapon is very easy to identify.
In fact, Mo Wang never expected that the Future Princess would appear in front of him from the sky.
Although he also remembered that after the Future Princess dealt with Bella, she was told by a high-ranking being that she would encounter danger and that she had traveled through time.
But shouldn't that have happened when Invaders attacked? How did it end up here?
"Oh, Beatrix? That's a very nice name."
"Yes, is that so?"
At this moment, the future Her Highness the Princess was also smiling awkwardly.
(Luckily, Mo Wang was just as clumsy before, otherwise, things would have been terrible.)
At that moment, the Future Princess was almost scared to death by what she had just experienced.
"Speaking of which, Your Her Highness the Princess, you must be hungry by now, right? I brought back some chicken legs, would you like some?"
The Princess's hand hovered in mid-air, the aroma of chicken legs wafting to her nose, but her attention was completely elsewhere. Her pupils contracted slightly, and her fingertips trembled involuntarily.
"What... what did you just call me?"
Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.
Mo Wang was fiddling with the cutlery with his back to her when he heard this, and his shoulders visibly stiffened.
"Huh? I said the chicken leg is getting cold, eat it quickly."
He turned around, a harmless smile on his face.
"Wrong!"
The Princess suddenly stood up, the chair scraping loudly on the floor.
"You clearly called me ' Your Her Highness the Princess '!"
Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, "How did you know? This armor clearly doesn't have any royal insignia..."
Mo Wang's gaze began to wander. He scratched the back of his head and chuckled dryly, "Hahaha, I must have fallen on my head and am hallucinating, right? How could a commoner like me possibly know Princess..."
"Look at me!"
Suddenly, the Princess grabbed Mo Wang by the collar, their noses almost touching. A complex mix of emotions churned in her Jade eyes. "It's been strange since just now... You knew I'd fall into the bathtub, so you prepared a well-fitting nightgown beforehand, even..."
Her voice suddenly softened, "Even the bra size..."
"Oh, that's just because I'm very experienced."
Mo Wang then complained.
"Wait a minute! You already knew who I was!"
At this moment, the Princess was quite certain that Mo Wang already knew her.
Even though she no longer looked like the little girl she once was, and her eyes had become weathered and her demeanor was quite different, why could this man still recognize her?
"Oh dear, we've been discovered! I never expected the future Princess to be so perceptive."
Mo Wang laughed twice and then ruffled the Princess's golden hair.
Despite the passage of ten years, the Princess's hair remains as smooth as ever.
"Why, why did you have to know that?"
After the Princess saw that Mo Wang had actually admitted it, she immediately lay down on top of Mo Wang.
"What's the point of asking why? As your only knight, if I can't even recognize you, I might as well be dead."
Mo Wang gently stroked the heartbroken girl before him.
"No matter what you become, what you've been through, or what changes you've undergone, I will recognize you immediately."
Although he wasn't quite sure how Bella had sent him to the future.
But for Mo Wang, whether outside the Yugi or now, the person he feels most sorry for is the Future Princess.
Once, when faced with a choice in the future timeline, Mo Wang chose to go back to the past and be with the Little Princess, leaving the Future Princess alone in the future.
Now, the arrival of the Future Princess means that my future self has also made that choice.
Even though it's not on the same timeline anymore, Mo Wang still feels that he has let the girl in front of him down.
In Mo Wang's arms, this girl, whose heart should have been as hard as steel, revealed her tears for the first time.
Chapter 230: Making the Future Princess feel guilty and want to die because of Mo Wang.
This chapter is also known as: Isn't it despicable to make the Future Princess Mo Wang intense guilt for the past and be unable to leave him?
Inside Mo Wang's wooden house, less than three minutes had passed when the Future Princess devoured a whole bowl of chicken legs.
Mo Wang was seeing the Future Princess eat for the first time, stared in disbelief at the Princess who was already wiping her mouth.
"Thank you for your hospitality."
After finishing her meal, the Princess came to her senses and lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Haha, it's nothing. I just didn't expect the Princess to become... such a big eater. Is it because she's grown up?"
Mo Wang gazed at the Princess, who had lowered her head in embarrassment, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.
Faced with Mo Wang's smile, the Princess became even more embarrassed.
How should I put it? Because the Future Princess has spent so many years on the battlefield, she usually eats in the most efficient way.
In addition, the chicken leg that Mo Wang brought was her favorite flavor.
Without realizing it, I ate a tiny bit too fast.
"It's alright. On the contrary, I'm quite happy to see that you, Princess, have such a good appetite."
"As expected, even after ten years, the Princess still looks so adorable when she eats."
"Cute?"
Upon hearing Mo Wang's praise, the Princess immediately turned into a steaming lobster, with steam rising from her head.
While feeling shy, the Princess also felt a little secretly pleased.
"Um, don't you find it strange? It's like I suddenly appeared in front of you like that..."
The Princess lowered her head, her fingers nervously rubbing together in front of her, appearing extremely tense.
"Oh, it's nothing, is it? I've been through this kind of thing many times before."
"Besides, Little Princess is Little Princess. Even if she grows up, it's no big deal, right?"
Mo Wang said, somewhat confused.
This single blow sank the Future Princess.
(How could this be? Could it be that Mo Wang still sees me as a child?)
(It was the same when they mentioned changing my clothes before; they didn't seem embarrassed at all. Even though I'm all grown up now...)
Thinking of this, the Princess couldn't help but look at her own figure.
Well, although her body has grown quite a bit, perhaps due to some imbalance of yin and yang, the Princess's figure has...
Rather than saying she's already twenty years old, it's more accurate to say she looks only fifteen or sixteen.
At this moment, the Princess couldn't help but think of the girls in her team, who all seemed to be much stronger than her...
Let alone characters like Yuzu, Sophie, and Karina, I can't even compare to Rabi and Aoba!
Among all the people, I'm probably only slightly better than Lanfang and Marian...
Upon thinking of this, the Princess immediately became depressed.
So, it's because of her body shape that Mo Wang has always treated herself like a child?
Mo Wang:?
Seeing the Princess suddenly become depressed for some unknown reason, Mo Wang suddenly had two question marks pop into his head.
"What's wrong with this child? Why did she suddenly blush and become so downcast? Girls' minds are really hard to understand."
At this moment, Mo Wang said that he could not understand what kind of feelings the girl was experiencing.
I always felt that the Princess became a bit harder to understand after she grew up.
Is this what they call puberty?
Fortunately, the Princess did not remain depressed for long.
After about a minute, the Princess recovered.
"Speaking of which, where exactly is this place? Why are you Mo Wang, in this dilapidated wooden hut?"
The Princess then looked at Mo Wang and asked the question that she was most curious about.
"Princess, what are you saying? This is my home."
Mo Wang then tapped the Princess on the head.
The Princess stared wide-eyed, looking around in disbelief. The walls of the wooden house were riddled with cracks, and the roof planks were crookedly pieced together, sunlight filtering through the gaps and creating dappled shadows. In the corner were piles of simple household items, a rickety wooden table and two creaking chairs being all the furniture.
"This, this is really your home?"
The Princess's voice trembled slightly, "You've been living in a place like this all this time?"
Mo Wang scratched his head and gave a somewhat embarrassed smile, "Yes, I've lived here for ten years."
"Ten years?!"
The Princess suddenly stood up, nearly knocking over the table. "Why don't we move somewhere else? At least the members of the Guardian Knights all have dormitories, don't they?"
"Well..."
Mo Wang scratched his face sheepishly, "It's mainly because... I don't have any money, and dormitories are just too much trouble."
