Chapter 416 A Bit Different

The end of the corridor on the second floor of Cat Boss Restaurant.

The air was utterly silent.

So silent that one could almost hear their own heartbeat.

The two great demons at the door couldn't help but marvel.

The new king and the former princess were truly daring and knew how to have fun, continuing even more enthusiastically right in front of them.

Wait, why were there two great demons?

Antanas and Xin Nuola exchanged glances, surveying their surroundings.

How had Pulana already reached the staircase?

Pulana smiled faintly, raised a hand to Antanas and his sister, pointed to his watch, indicating that they should start the restaurant's business for the day.

"...Seriously, how does your brother manage to be such an elegant coward every time?"

Antanas whispered to Xin Nuola.

Xin Nuola shook her head.

She was currently biting her nails, feeling so jealous she could grind her teeth to dust.

Although if she were in Talia's position in the room at this moment, she would also feel like she'd rather die, just imagining being able to hear such lines from a super perfect handsome guy would make her blush and her heart pound wildly.

No, she might even faint.

While Antanas and Xin Nuola were whispering, time inside Talia's room still seemed to be frozen, lingering in the mutual torment and suffering between Lanchi and Talia.

"..."

Talia covered her face with both hands, now gradually regaining consciousness, her mind still replaying the absurd things she had just done.

Even Lanchi could feel the social awkwardness, so she felt she couldn't stay in this world any longer.

Why did things always turn out like this whenever she was with Lanchi?

The worst part wasn't anything else.

It was that the door to her room was still broken, and she couldn't even close it to be alone.

"Uh..."

Hyperion looked around, sensing that something was wrong.

She was either late this time, or perhaps she had arrived just in time.

Lanchi and Talia both needed to calm down.

Or rather, they had both just recovered from their madness, and were now savoring the aftertaste in a rational state, feeling the other's presence more intensely and feeling that they had done something irreversible.

Hyperion stealthily moved, reached out and grabbed Lanchi's wrist, pulling him little by little towards her.

Until the two of them were much closer to the door without making a sound.

"Lanchi and I have something to do, we're going back to school!"

Hyperion made sure she had a firm grip on Lanchi, shouted this, and ran away with Lanchi in tow.

Antanas looked at the room inside, then at the two people disappearing at the end of the corridor.

As she had expected.

There was something wrong with Talia and Lanchi, and Hyperion and Lanchi!

It seemed that Talia and Hyperion could still coexist peacefully, but in reality, the closer they were, the more twisted their emotions would become when they erupted!

And when Ifatia witnessed all of this, her expression would be the most spectacular!

Antanas clenched her fist, praying in her heart that the new king could bring back the Second Princess Ifatia as soon as possible. Although Great Teacher Yi was cruel to enemies, her heart was pure towards her own people, and she especially admired her sister, so she definitely hadn't seen such exciting things.

A long time later.

"I'll go help brother."

Xin Nuola coughed lightly, bringing Antanas back to her senses.

"Oh, oh."

Antanas nodded.

She also realized that they had been staying at Talia's door for too long, and quickly nodded to Talia before turning and leaving.

Just like that.

The empty room gradually had only Talia left alone.

She was like a deflated ball, putting away the fruit knife, picking up the book that had fallen on the ground, and walking weakly to the armchair, lying down.

Looking at the ceiling, she covered her face again, shaking it不停左右晃动, almost twisting into a maggot.

"Tata, you're so cute today... so cute that I want to eat you instead of breakfast."

"What I wanted to say was that your cute appearance while eating also intoxicated me. Before my memories fade, I want to stay by your side forever, like in a lucid dream."

These words were like a curse, unable to leave her mind, constantly echoing in her ears.

That wasn't human speech!

How could Lanchi say such things?!

Even worse, she had forced Lanchi to say those lines.

She had even responded to every one of Lanchi's lines.

"Ahhh!!!"

Talia lowered her voice and let out a whimper-like scream.

She felt that if she stayed by Lanchi's side any longer, she might go crazy, and it would be better to just explode with him sooner!

Until the clock on the wall turned around and around.

Talia finally returned to her usual self, lying expressionlessly on the armchair.

"If you had just made me angry when we first met, we could have ended it all then."

She helplessly picked up a magazine from the desk on the campus.

She seemed to be able to concentrate, or perhaps she could only use magazines and periodicals to cover up her still restless heart.

After thinking about it, she stuffed *Saint War Romance* at the bottom of a stack of books, so that she wouldn't easily notice the cover of the book.

Just after she had stopped for a while.

There was a knock on the door.

Since the door had already been pushed down, they could only knock on the door frame.

Talia looked over.

She saw that Antanas had broken the door earlier, and she was now carrying a toolbox to fix her door.

"I'm here to fix the door, sorry about that."

Antanas skillfully took out a set of stainless steel hinge bearings and matching hardened screws.

"Thank you."

Talia sat in the armchair in the room, looking at Antanas with complicated feelings.

She never thought that she would one day reunite with Antanas, and that she would be the one repairing her door.

Looking at Antanas working skillfully on the door frame, Talia put down the magazine in her hand and came to the door.

"Let's fix it together."

She squatted on the ground and said to Antanas.

"You're a princess, how can I let you do such a thing?"

Antanas asked, staring at Talia in surprise.

"I'm not anymore."

Talia shook her head in relief, picking up a screwdriver.

"...You've really changed a lot."

Antanas stared at Talia in a daze for a while before saying.

The Talia of that year would only look down on most living beings with disdain, but now she was just like a human commoner.

Most importantly, the sense of distance from her seemed to have disappeared.

"By the way, Talia, what's your relationship with Lanchi?"

Antanas was very, very curious about Talia and the new king's mutual views, and what stories had happened between them.

Whenever she asked the new king, he would smile without saying a word, not giving her the opportunity to gossip.

She didn't know if Talia would tell her.

Antanas couldn't suppress her curiosity.

"I guess we're friends."

Talia's voice was a little hesitant.

At first, her relationship with Lanchi was just a simple employment relationship.

Later, before he paid off his debts, she needed to protect him and urge him to pay back the money.

Now, without considering the good things that Lanchi had brought her, she also felt that being with Lanchi was not bad.

"Don't you think he's a special person?"

Antanas asked tentatively.

"..."

Talia remembered that Cat Boss had also asked a similar question.

After a long silence, after tightening two screws, she spoke again:

"To be honest, I don't understand."

Even after living in Hetun Kingdom for so long, Talia still didn't understand the question she had discussed with Cat Boss earlier.

She knew that the "special" that Antanas was talking about at the moment was not the literal meaning of "unique", but a special aspect of human concepts such as "love" and "partner".

She had always wanted to get the answer, and had also asked Cat Boss for advice.

The answer she got was—this person always makes you happy, you will gradually become inseparable from him without realizing it, you will start to care about and be curious about his thoughts, and your originally calm self will easily have emotional fluctuations because of him.

Talia struggled with this confusion for a long time, and it seemed that Cat Boss was right about every point.

At that time, Lanchi brought her a lot of things she wanted, and she couldn't leave him because of his debt, wanting to figure out what the hell he was thinking, and sometimes she would get very irritable because of his slightly sarcastic polite words and expressions.

It was accurate beyond accuracy, but she still couldn't understand it at all.

But now.

She didn't know why.

It seemed a little different.

"How should I get along with him next..."

Talia's words were full of confusion.

She should have thanked Lanchi, but after getting into another ambiguous situation with Lanchi, she felt that she didn't know what expression to face him with.

"You two were really playing wildly just now."

Antanas nodded, bluntly.

Boss Lan's Poet of Great Love was indeed terrifying. Under normal circumstances, it might not have any effect, but when the target's emotions were extremely intense, it could directly turn people into a state of being drunk on fake wine.

Especially in battle, when entering the Poet of Great Love's execution range, even the Nihility Bishop Aksangkang would lose his mind.

Just now, not only did Talia become crazy, but even Lanchi himself was not very normal.

"..."

Talia immediately turned her head away.

As expected, from the perspective of others, she and Lanchi were too abstract this morning.

"But there's no way, before time smoothes out the embarrassment between you two, you two should get along like this for now. If you feel uncomfortable, try to avoid each other as much as possible."

Antanas sighed.

Sometimes, when embarrassing things happen between two people, the more they try to explain it clearly in a short period of time, the more they force themselves to get along, the more they will deepen the gap between them. The best solution at this time is to give each other a little distance and space.

"Think of it on the bright side, you don't have anything more embarrassing to do, you can't be stuck in Cat Boss Restaurant together every day, right?"

Antanas added, holding up the door, trying to align it with the hinge bearings.

"That's true."

Talia nodded.

Everything would pass with time.

It was good to have friends by her side, her mood suddenly became much lighter, and she was even a little hungry.
