Chapter 144: Reactions
After about five seconds of silence, Tyr finally regained control of his body, feeling a sense of unease in his heart. Sensing strange reactions around him, he immediately jumped up, while the hand of Yuehai beneath him also pushed up and stood straight from the ground.
Tyr glanced around.
Huh?
This feeling seemed familiar, as if it was the same as when the healing magic was used incorrectly at that time.
Tyr coughed softly, and in front of everyone, he said lightly.
“It’s all just an accident!”
“Seize this despicable and insolent person!” Someone shouted out, and the imperial guards placed around immediately stepped forward with big strides. A palm was about to strike from mid-air, the terrifying momentum making Tyr momentarily unable to move. He, as a member of the Yuehai, immediately shouted loudly.
“Please stop! It was all truly accidental!”
“Accident or not, it’s unacceptable! That guy has done something so enviable! We must silence him!”
Countless people were filled with indignation, their manner suggesting they wished to tear Tyr apart. From the expressions of the guards, it was evident they strongly agreed.
This was getting out of hand. Sweat dripped from Tyr’s forehead, thinking to himself, “I accidentally kissed myself, was it really necessary to get so angry?”
Meanwhile, Claude remained as stunned as a wooden chicken.
On the other hand, Diaz secretly gave a thumbs-up, thinking, “As expected of the genius I’ve had my eye on. He truly shows his brilliance in various situations!”
“Let’s just forget about it. Since Miss Yuehai says it was an accident, there’s no need to make things difficult for them!” These words came from Damiyala. Clearly, her appearance had a calming effect. Plus, Leia had somehow appeared and, after glaring fiercely at Tyr and dragging Yuehai back to the corner, the main focus was lost. It was hard for them to get worked up, especially since Nicholas had also turned his attention this way. They didn’t have the courage to cause trouble at the banquet.
But with all this, didn’t this enviable guy just snatch a kiss from Miss Yuehai without paying any price at all?
With that thought, everyone felt an irresistible itch in their chests, wishing they could wrap Tyr’s skin around themselves.
Yuehai was pulled back by Leia, who looked at her with concern.
“It’s all my fault, Yuehai. If I hadn’t gone to dance, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“It’s okay.” Yuehai generously shook her head, because it really was okay.
Leia, on the other hand, blamed herself endlessly.
“But you were kissed by that jerk…” Realizing she was being too blunt, Leia hurriedly stopped, but Yuehai still smiled and replied.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Leia, I don’t mind at all. You seem to be the one worrying a lot.”
“Yuehai, that was your first kiss, wasn’t it?” Leia asked tentatively, seeing that Yuehai wasn’t really affected. Yuehai raised an eyebrow, wondering why she was asking.
“Yes, it was.”
Even Jinlisi beside them turned to look, thinking, “You can remain so calm even after having your first kiss stolen. That’s really too indifferent.”
“So, you’re not going to make that jerk take responsibility?” Leia asked anxiously. After all, a first kiss was not a trivial matter! Yuehai looked at Leia with amusement and replied.
“Take responsibility for what? Should I make him marry me or something?”
“Um… That’s not possible. If it were true, the streets would probably be full of kissing maniacs.”
“But you can’t just let this matter go, can you?”
“That’s exactly my plan. At the Duke’s birthday banquet, it’s important to consider the bigger picture. Leia, you wouldn’t want to see me acting irrationally, would you?”
“Well…” Leia’s throat tightened. She couldn’t help feeling like she was the one being overly conventional now. Though she felt frustrated, Yuehai didn’t seem to mind. Even if she were to explode in anger, it wouldn’t change anything. With these thoughts, Leia could only sigh inwardly and let the matter drop.
As for our comrade Claude, he remained as dumbfounded as ever…
