Chapter 20 All Is Forgiven In Front Of Handsome Men

1167 Words
Venice and Violet stared at each other for a while, the two were having a staring contest. One was smiling ever so sweetly while the other was chillingly looking at the one smiling. Giles, on the side, was grabbing his hair in frustration and bad premonition, watching this suicidal act by Violet. But their eyes suddenly widened, not expecting what would happen. Chomp! “EHHH????????” Giles, who was the second witness of the shocking scene, was shouting like a headless chicken when he saw Venice, his “Majesty” eating the offered food. ‘He really ate it!’ “Your Majesty, is it delicious?” After the long staring contest, Violet was so happy to have won. She did not expect that he would really eat it. She thought that he would coldly deny her request or worst, punish her. “En.” While chewing the strawberry, Venice's eyes never once left Violet’s face. “Letty did not lie to his Majesty, right? It’s really delicious!” Having her ego inflated for having the upper hand, Violet finally relented and continue eating. She does not want to push it too much lest she do something wrong that would incur his wrath. Happily eating, she did not notice the eyes of the predator looking at her. Licking his lips, Venice smiled in satisfaction. ‘Never thought that this little girl had so much courage as to spoon-feed the “cruel” Emperor of the Sun Empire who kills anyone who offends him. Interesting. Really interesting.’ Happily chomping on the dessert spread on the table, Violet no longer cared about the man and ate as she pleased. 1minute later…. 3 minutes later…. 5 minutes later…… Violet, who was doing her own business, sweat dropped feeling the hard stare on her face. She kept on eating, trying her best to ignore the other’s eyes on her. ‘Heck! Why is he staring at me like he’ll eat me whole?!’ Having enough, Violet lifted her head up. Her eyes clashed with those heated eyes. “Any longer and I’ll melt from your Majesty’s stare.” ‘s**t!’ Violet’s eyes quickly widened when she realized that her words were a little inappropriate and tried to change, salvage the situation. “Letty means, Letty, Letty… is embarrassed being stared at by his Majesty. Letty will melt being stared at by his Majesty…” Violet bashfully looked down at her plate, her face red. She tried her best to act coquettish in front of him and even appear as if she were shy. In reality, despite her embarrassed act, she was thinking about the delicious cake on her plate like it was her whole world. ‘Really delicious!’ She then drops the next bomb. “…Your Majesty is so dashing and brilliant that Letty’s heart could not bear being stared at by his Majesty for too long.” Venice's eyebrow raised, looking at the bashful appearance of Violet. His lips curved into a smile, an evil smile. “Oh. I look dashing?” “Yes, Your Majesty! Very handsome!” Violet quickly nodded her head to agree. “Am I handsome?” The smile on Venice's lips deepened after hearing Violet’s reply. There was not even a bit of hesitation seen in her eyes when she answered him. “Very, very handsome! The most handsome man Letty has ever met in Letty’s entire life!” Violet gave him a thumbs up, hoping that her actions could give her answer more points. Since she had already dug herself a pit, she just needed to continue on digging, hoping and praying that he would not bury her alive. Instead, extend a lifesaving branch for her. ‘If you are not handsome, then there will no longer be any handsome man in this world. Ah! Think I’m blind? I have good taste when it comes to aesthetics!’ Seeing the smile on Venice's lips deepen, Violet thought that she had curried favor with this big golden thigh. But she forgot that the most taboo in this Empire, in all that should not be mentioned, is Venice's appearance. Anyone who tried to praise Venice's appearance had gone blind or sent to be eaten by the wild beast! Ever since then, no one has ever tried to talk about Venice's appearance. Hearing Violet talk about Venice's appearance, Giles, who was watching and eavesdropping on the side, almost ran to her side to cover her mouth but stopped himself. It is not his turn to speak. He was really nervous for her. Giles knew just how Venice hates it when someone talks about his appearance. He was no exception. Giles bit his nails, antsy. He waited for Venice's response. “Hahaha….” Both Giles and Violet were stunned when Venice laughed heartily. Giles almost fell over in fear, thinking that Venice snapped due to anger. Violet, on the other hand, was mesmerized by his laugh. Not only was she mesmerized because of his ethereal appearance, but also because of his laugh that sounded like gentle bells in her ears. She had never seen such a mesmerizing and beautiful sight before. Looking at him, her face heated up for real. Her heart skips a beat. ‘Ah! So handsome!’ “Being praised by little Letty, I am happy.” Venice smiled, though his smile was really not a smile but only a slight tug of his lips. Also, a hint of warmth surged from the depths of his eyes into the surface before it disappeared like it was never there. “Hehe…Letty is also happy being praised by his Majesty!” Violet childishly laughed like the little child she was. “En.” Seeing that she was not buried in her own pit, Violet’s courage even grew bigger. These past few days, her courage had literally grown bigger, knowing that the other could not touch her. That’s what she thought. Knowing this, she was comforted that her head would stay on her neck until her coming of age. Not only that, but with each passing day, Venice and her were starting to get along, so she unconsciously and consciously treated him like a normal person. What could she say? She was from modern Earth where the monarchy is no longer the trend and, besides, who won't let their guard down being smiled at by such a handsome man! Anyone's heart would thaw! As they say, all is forgiven in front of handsome men! Being able to pass her life this peacefully, not being on guard, more like unconsciously depending on Giles and a little to Venice, who had treated her fairly well these days, Violet forgot that she was no longer on Earth and that the Emperor could kill her with one little mistake. Knowing that Venice was happy with her, Violet was also happy. Humming, she ate delightfully. Happily squinting her eyes, she sneaks a look back at Venice before focusing back on her food. “Definitely, very handsome.”
