Chapter 461: Lanchi's Unforeseeable Fate
Chapter 461: Lanchi's Unforeseeable Fate
Outside the window, dark clouds loomed and rain fell in a steady drizzle.
For a moment, the principal's office of Redmond Tower seemed to be filled with white noise, the only sounds being the rain and Antanas' panicked calls.
Pulanai covered his eyes, feeling a tingling sensation on his scalp.
He never expected that within a minute of meeting the new king, things would go awry.
Seeing his sister unconscious, Pulanai couldn't help but be grateful that the new king's voice didn't affect her as it had in the prison.
Fortunately, Antanas, a former demon doctor, was skilled in emergency rescue, and from the look on his face, he was quickly able to stabilize Sinora's vital signs.
As an eighth-rank great demon with enhanced close-quarters combat abilities, Sinora's body was far more resilient than a human's, and her injuries would heal on their own.
"Let Sinora rest on the sofa over there," Lanchi said, indicating the black leather sofa in the reception area to one side of the office, seeing that Antanas had caught her breath.
"Oh, okay," Antanas replied efficiently, moving Sinora to the sofa.
After settling Sinora, she sat down next to the sofa and continued to place her palm, glowing with a faint blue light, on Sinora's forehead to help her regain consciousness quickly.
"How is Sinora doing?" Lanchi asked, standing behind the desk and looking at Antanas.
"She'll be fine, but in the future, you must never amplify her emotions with your demonic voice when she sees you again, or she might truly die," Antanas said, her eyes fixed on Lanchi, her tone complex.
Sinora's culinary skills were already off the charts when it came to the female version of the new king, and the true king was a handsome man with a unique aura. Antanas dared not imagine the extent of Sinora's devotion to the new king.
"I'm sorry, I understand," Lanchi said, falling silent and returning to his chair.
He patiently waited for Antanas to finish treating Sinora and signaled for Pulanai to take a seat.
There was no rush, as the meeting with the duke was scheduled for 5 p.m.
Time passed, and more than ten minutes later, Sinora, who had been sleeping on the sofa, stirred, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, but she didn't open her eyes. She slowly sat up.
She sensed that Antanas was sitting right next to her.
"Did I... fall into a 'Downfall of Gentleness'?" Sinora asked, her voice groggy as if she were just waking from a dream.
"Sinora, don't open your eyes. This is reality," Antanas said, quickly raising her hand to block Sinora's eyes and speaking slowly.
She was afraid that Sinora would relapse.
The new king was like a human-shaped great demon trial for Sinora.
"..." Sinora fell silent, recalling the image of the new king in her mind. Her thoughts became muddled again, and her frail body swayed as if she were about to faint once more.
However, she seemed to remember something, focusing her mind and sensing the presence of the figure sitting quietly at the other end of the office.
She had no idea how long she had been sleeping on the office sofa, and the king was still patiently waiting at his desk for Antanas to revive her.
Sinora's face turned bright red, and she felt a wave of shame and embarrassment wash over her.
"I want to atone with my death!" she exclaimed, her eyes tightly shut as she wished for a hole to crawl into.
Having shown such an undignified side of herself to the king, Sinora just wanted to die!
"Sinora, it was my fault for not being considerate enough. I apologize," Lanchi said, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He gestured for Antanas to protect Sinora and walked around the desk toward the resting area.
"Y-You, don't come any closer. No, I mean, it's not your fault. You shouldn't apologize to me. I was the one who was rude," Sinora stammered, backing away like a startled rabbit, her face reddening with embarrassment for her gaffe.
Sinora's eyes quickly filled with tears, and even with her eyes closed, they began to fall.
"The ancients said, 'If it is not polite, do not look, listen, or speak,' and as for me, if something is impolite, I will not look at it, listen to it, or bring it up. So, Sinora, please rest assured that in my opinion, you have not been rude at all. If we are too restrained, it will be difficult for us to get along well together."
Even though the new king's voice had changed, it no longer carried the magic that tugged at one's heartstrings, but it was always filled with unwavering warmth and understanding.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Sinora said, her cheeks still flushed, but the shame and guilt in her heart began to melt away.
She raised her head, her eyes still closed, but her expression now held a hint of firmness and gratitude.
The new king's male voice, unlike the female one, seemed to calm the minds of all living beings, making them feel a sense of transcendence.
Pulanai nodded in agreement, pondering each word of the new king.
However, Antanas wasn't really listening.
"Your Majesty, what is your relationship with Talia?"
As soon as Antanas felt the atmosphere harmonize again, she immediately asked the new king.
Ever since she had seen the new king's true form, she had been wanting to ask this question!
Is the new king Talia's husband, son, or...?
Antanas had never cared about personal space, and instead of looking distant, she always seemed very friendly, and the word "restraint" didn't exist in her vocabulary.
Hearing this question, Sinora also pricked up her ears. If they had misunderstood earlier, was it possible that Talia was still single?
"She is my teacher," Lanchi replied, unaware of the wild thoughts running through Antanas' mind.
"So, you two are not related by blood?" Antanas' voice grew more animated, and her speech quickened.
"No," Lanchi shook his head.
He felt that even without observation, it was obvious that the Wilford family, at the very least, was like his father, a wealthy merchant, and not a shut-in.
"..." Antanas' mind was suddenly filled with ultimate storm clouds.
If the new king was male, then the second princess and the new king could be together.
But it always felt like the relationship between the bishop and the new king was even closer...
And now, if the new king and Talia might also be an item... Darn it!
No matter which two of the three women were with the new king at the same time, it would be extremely explosive—
With the second princess' possessiveness over the new king, she would never tolerate Talia bossing the new king around.
And Talia's temper was such that she would not back down, and if she and the bishop didn't get along, Talia's aggression and desire for revenge would become extremely strong.
And if, one day, Huberian and Talia were to fight over the new king, and if Ifatia were to witness her sister and daughter fighting over a man, Antanas dared not imagine what Ifatia's expression and feelings would be!
This...
This was the kind of unpredictable fate she wanted to see unfold!
"All three of you, I have arranged for your offices to be in this Redmond Tower. From now on, you will be my left and right hands, whether we stay on the Northern Continent or return to the Southern Continent." Lanchi sat down on the sofa in the resting area and spoke to the three great demons.
"Yes," "Alright," "Thank you, Your Highness," the three great demons replied immediately.
Pulanai glanced at Antanas, and for some reason, he felt that Antanas' loyalty to the new king had suddenly increased, and her eyes were glowing, as if she had the determination to follow the new king to the death, but there was also something strange about her, as if she couldn't wait for the new king to die.
