After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 164: Confused (9)

Ten days had passed since what happened that night, and Neveu followed Zephir back to the royal city.

Neve didn't want to go back home. She could never face the place where she first met Sidse.

That night, Sidse died in her arms, and Neve felt a heart-wrenching pain. She wanted to bury Sidse's body herself, but Hans wouldn't let her go. She watched Hans throw Sidse's body into the pile of vampire corpses.

After that, Neve became more insensitive to outside voices.

Zephir wanted to take Neve to the royal city for a few days to relax, as he thought Neve was frightened.

Only Hans knows why Neve became like this.

Ed agreed with Zephir's idea.

Most of the vampires in Croft Castle were eliminated by vampire hunters, but there were still humans in the Egbert family, not all of them were vampires. So the Hunter's Guild was retaliated by the Egbert family because of this.

The leader of the Egbert family claimed that the hunters had wreaked havoc in his Croft Castle, damaging a lot of property. Although the vampire hunters were there to hunt vampires, the Hunter's Guild should have informed the owner of Croft Castle in advance.

As a last resort, the Vampire Hunter Guild paid a large sum of money to the Egbert family.

In the royal city.

Niv was temporarily living in the house that Zephir had rented for her. This morning, she checked the notice board and saw someone was looking for a maid. She would go to the family for an interview at noon.

As for the fact that Neve came to the royal city, it was Zephir who told Gu Chang.

At this time, Gu Chang and Zephir were sitting in the garden drinking tea. Since Zephir became a Glory Knight, he had fewer things to do. He only needed to accompany Queen Freya on important occasions.

Also sitting at the round table was Claire. She had recently started a new boyfriend, Frank, who had inherited his father's viscountship. They were happily married, but she had a problem and was seeking Gu Chang's help.

"Dear brother, when you flirt with Cedric, does he tickle your armpits?" Claire asked this question worriedly.

The three of them had just finished talking about Neve. When Zephir heard Claire's question, he almost spit out the flower tea he had just drunk. He swallowed it with difficulty, his face flushed slightly, and he didn't even glance at Claire.

Claire didn't ask Zephir because he was still a virgin and had never experienced love. She thought it would be better to ask Gu Chang.

Gu Chang stirred the warm tea with a small teaspoon without changing his expression. He said calmly, "No."

Claire sighed softly, holding her cheeks with both hands, staring blankly at the front with her big grape-like eyes, "That must be his habit." Frank is a gentle and charming man. Claire was attracted by his humorous conversation. After a period of getting to know each other, Claire was gradually attracted to Frank.

The two confirmed their relationship a few days ago.

"Can you accept his habit?" Gu Chang looked up at her.

Claire closed her eyes, frowned slightly, and her face showed a bit of pain. "I think... I still can't accept someone tickling my armpits. It's itchy, and I find it weird when someone tickles my armpits while we're kissing."

"So do you want to break up with him?" Gu Chang continued to ask. He wouldn't give Claire any advice, because Claire got tired of the old and loved the new so quickly, so if he offered any suggestions, they would usually not be accepted by Claire.

Zephir drank his tea silently. He didn't need to speak on this topic. But knowing Frank had this habit, he felt that he would feel a little embarrassed the next time he saw Frank.

"I don't know." Claire blinked in confusion.

Gu Chang knew Claire would say that. Although Claire had hosted many dances and many men had danced with her, she was the type of person who could walk through a sea of ​​flowers without getting a single leaf on her.

This was Claire's first time in a relationship with a man.

Gu Chang believes that if you truly love someone, you will tolerate their minor flaws. For example, he likes to touch his lover's pectoral muscles.

But he couldn't say that directly to Claire.

"Princess Claire, if it were me, I would tolerate my partner's special hobby. At most, it would just make his armpit itchy for a while." At this time, Zephir couldn't help but persuade Claire.

Claire shifted her gaze to Zephir and asked uncertainly, "Zephir, do you really think so?"

"Now let's pretend that we are a couple. I'll tickle your armpits, and then you tell me what you think." Claire's eyes lit up. She suddenly stood up and stared at Zephir's stunned handsome face.

Gu Chang tried to stop him, "This is not good, Sister Claire."

Claire grabbed Zephir's arm and pulled him up. "It's okay. I just wanted to make sure."

Gu Chang: So Claire doesn’t believe what Zephir said?

System: Maybe, maybe?

Zephir didn't dare to push Claire away. He turned his head away and said with his neck stiff, "I've already said what I want to say, Princess Claire, please don't do this to me!"

The more Zephyr struggled, the more excited Claire felt.

The two of them were pulling each other, and Gu Chang didn't know how to separate them.

"Stop! Claire! What are you doing?!" An angry male voice suddenly sounded behind the two people who were pulling each other.

Claire released her grip on Zephir's arm and turned to look.

It's her boyfriend, Frank.

Claire blinked and turned to the angry Frank. "Frank, why did you come to the palace to see me? We didn't do anything."

"Don't think I don't know that you are having an affair with him behind my back! Give me an explanation, Claire! Why on earth did you betray me?!" Frank's handsome face turned red with anger. He raised his finger and pointed at Zephir, his hands shaking with anger.

Claire didn't know why Frank said that. She asked in confusion, "What's there to explain? We didn't do anything." She just grabbed Zephir's arm to prevent him from running away. She didn't do anything to offend Frank.

Gu Chang, who was automatically ignored by Frank:

Gu Chang was about to step forward to explain the matter when Frank suddenly ran towards the pool, yelling as he ran, "Claire, you heartless woman! I'm going to jump into the water and commit suicide! I want you to remember me forever in your heart!"

Gu Chang, “…”

Zephyr, "Huh?"

System, "Huh?"

Claire ran towards Frank with an anxious look on her face. She couldn't run fast with her heavy skirt, so she could only reach out to Frank's back, "No! Frank, don't jump into the water! Zephir and I are fine. If you don't believe me, ask Helain!"

However, Frank simply covered his ears and refused to listen to what Claire said.

As Frank stood by the deep pool, he looked at Claire who was running towards her with sad eyes.

He liked Claire very much. When he first saw Claire dancing at the ball, he was moved. He had never seen such a beautiful person. Not only did she dance gracefully, but she also had a cheerful and lively personality.

He also knew that Claire was a dance master and had danced with many men who were better than him. He thought he had no advantages that could attract the sun-like Claire, but Claire took the initiative to come over and chat with him.

Frank could feel that he was inferior and cautious in front of Claire. This love was so heavy that Frank was always worried about losing her. He was afraid that Claire would get tired of him one day and find a new boyfriend.

Yesterday they finally got to be in the same room together, drank some tipsy red wine, and danced hand in hand under the candlelight. Everything was going in the right direction, but Frank couldn't control himself and tickled Claire's armpit.

He had a problem with scratching his armpits when he was happy. He usually tickled his own armpits, but last night he kept his hands away from them and tickled Claire's instead.

Then the ambiguous atmosphere disappeared, and only the silence between the two of them fermented silently.

Frank wanted to die of shame now. He was too embarrassed to face Claire. He had originally wanted to come to Claire to talk things over and see if she wanted to end their relationship.

But when he arrived, he happened to see the two people fighting. He was so angry that his face turned red on the spot, thinking that Claire had fallen in love with someone else and had found her next boyfriend.

Anger and fear mixed together and overwhelmed his reason.

But when Frank saw that Claire still came for him, his heart softened.

"Claire, this is the last time I'm going to kiss you." Frank looked at Claire's panting, smiling face tenderly. He raised his hand to stroke Claire's cheek, then lowered his head and placed a kiss on Claire's forehead.

Gu Chang and Zefeier, who rushed over, looked at each other, not knowing what was going on for a moment.

Claire was confused. "Frank, what do you mean by kiss me for the last time? What are you going to do?"

"I know I'm not worthy of you. I'm just a mere viscount, not worthy of your noble status as a princess. But I still want to tell you, Claire, I'd die with no regrets just to have shared such a sweet time with you." Frank said reluctantly, "I'm the only one left in my family. My parents died at sea while on a ship. I have nothing left to cherish."

"But you have me, Frank. Besides, why do you want to die?" Claire held Frank's hands tightly.

Now Frank was standing at the edge of the pool. If he took a step back, he would fall into the water.

"But I did something very bad last night." Frank choked up, he couldn't let go of what happened last night.

"Then why don't you come down and talk first? Let's sit down and talk." Claire tried to comfort Frank. She only now realized that Frank felt inferior when he was with her.

But Claire didn't notice Frank's emotions at all, because Frank was very considerate to her, always caring about her emotions and paying attention to her preferences.

Claire had never told Frank about her preferences, but Frank still noticed it.

"Yeah, let's come down and talk about it first. Just let it go. I can guarantee that Sister Claire has not done anything to let you down." Gu Chang echoed and advised from the side. He wanted to quietly approach Frank and pull him down.

Zephir hesitated whether to speak or not, for he was afraid that Frank would get excited if he spoke.

Seeing that Frank was still deadlocked, Claire also stepped forward.

Several people were attracted by her actions. Gu Chang reached out and pulled Claire's wrist, "Sister Claire, what are you going to do?" He was a little confused by this development.

Now it was Frank who grabbed Claire's arm, "No, Claire, you can't die!"

"If you don't listen to me, why should I listen to you?!" Claire could only think of using this method to force Frank to leave.

So Frank came down, and Claire came down too.

"I'm sorry, Claire, I was too impulsive." Frank admitted his mistake after coming down. He felt that it was right for Claire to break up with him now.

"Your emotions are too unstable." Claire said helplessly. Seeing that Frank's attitude of admitting his mistakes was okay and his emotions had stabilized, she decided to say that sentence, "Frank, let's break up now. I don't like men with unstable emotions. Thank you for letting me see you clearly today."

She felt that today was really exciting, but what Frank did could not solve the problem.

"Okay, Claire, I understand." Frank was about to leave with a lost look on his face.

"Wait, Frank, I wish you can find someone who truly accepts you. Life is precious and you shouldn't take it lightly. I also hope you can change your bad habit of misunderstanding others." Claire called Frank and said this with a smile.

Frank nodded. "Okay, bye, Claire," he said resignedly.

After Frank left, the three of them returned to where they had tea.

When Zephir thought the matter was finally over, Claire suddenly leaned close to Zephir and smiled at him.

Zephir had a bad feeling.

Then Claire's voice rang out, "Zephir, are you interested in attending the dance I'm hosting?"

Zephir shook his head nervously, "I don't like participating in activities like this."

Gu Chang, who was standing by, took a sip of the flower tea and noticed Zephir's look of help. He said calmly, "Sister Claire, do you want to pursue Zephir?"

Claire sat up straight and said seriously, "Brother Hein, I'm just inviting Zephir to the dance. Don't think too much about it. Besides, I just broke up, and I desperately need a lively occasion to mend my broken heart."
