Chapter 71: Then You Kiss Me
“Her Highness Princess Alice.”
Yifu hurriedly covered Alice’s mouth, fearful that she might continue to say something shocking.
Indeed, just a moment ago, when everyone’s attention was focused on Leia, it was Alice who brazenly declared her “liking for the white-haired lady” amidst the chaos.
Yifu truly couldn’t let her guard down for a moment around Alice; this girl had been suppressed in the palace for too long, and she didn’t know where she had picked up her mischievousness. As long as they were together, she would find ways to seek excitement.
Just like earlier, the outrageous proclamation she made even had a few girls responding in agreement.
But fortunately, although emotionally they liked the white-haired lady, due to the chaos of the scene, they were not certain who among them had made that statement.
“Hehe.”
With Yifu covering her mouth, Alice only revealed her beautiful eyes, enchanting and sultry. She unabashedly stared at Yifu, and when Yifu looked into her starry, deep eyes, she couldn’t figure out what Alice was trying to do.
“In any case, you… eh!”
Before Yifu could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by an unintentional gasp that escaped her lips.
I must say, Her Highness Princess Alice was utterly unpredictable.
She actually took the chance while Yifu’s hand was covering her small mouth to secretly lick her own palm with her tongue?
Even though it was just a fleeting moment, it felt like an electric shock to Yifu, making her break out in a cold sweat and almost suppress a little moan.
First, the princess pressed her palm against Yifu’s, causing her legs to weaken. Now, the princess licked her palm, and that moist, soft touch made Yifu’s heart race…
If she licked somewhere else, would Yifu faint right there and then?
“Your Highness! This is a public place.”
Yifu quickly withdrew her hand, lowering her voice, her tone tinged with a hint of anger.
However, she didn’t dare to escalate the situation, after all, considering Alice’s dignity…
Alice seemed to know that Yifu could only bear it in silence, and the cute yet slightly seductive smile on her face grew more pronounced.
“Hehe…”
Alice didn’t speak; only her classic silly grin responded to Yifu.
“Everyone is busy watching your precious daughter right now, with no time to pay attention to us.”
“If you want me to behave, you can kiss me, just on the cheek is fine. If I’m satisfied, I’ll naturally obey.”
Alice continued to push her luck, pointing to her delicate face that looked as if it could be pinched for water.
With the princess’s exquisite face presented before her, begging for a kiss while looking like she might cry, anyone would struggle to maintain control.
But Yifu could… because the wide smile at the corners of Alice’s mouth resembled the wicked grin of a little succubus in Yifu’s eyes.
This was just a trap to lure you into her snare…
Daring to kiss publicly today, tomorrow Alice would dare to bring Yifu to play their favorite games in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of her chamber!
“What if someone finds out?”
“They won’t. Just be quick. Otherwise, I’ll keep bothering you.”
Alice looked at Yifu, her small mouth pouting slightly, clearly showing some displeasure.
In truth, Alice also felt a bit shy; she was trying to mask her feelings with an outgoing personality, yet her heart was racing.
After all, even if she had an open personality, it was only for Yifu.
In front of others, she was the obedient and graceful princess, gentle and dignified.
From childhood to adulthood, aside from the time when Alice just began to have memories, when her mother Cherillian kissed her face, no one else had ever kissed her.
At sixteen or seventeen, a girl is at the age of innocent daydreaming.
Even just a peck on the cheek would be a significant first for her.
“Really, just a kiss? After that, can you promise to behave until the ceremony is over?”
Yifu listened to Leia’s speech on stage. Although the script was pre-written by the academy, what she could say was not up to her.
But from Leia’s cheerful voice, it was obvious she was very happy.
She must be relishing that feeling of being the focus of attention, right?
However…
Yifu pulled back her thoughts and shifted her gaze to Alice, who was looking at her expectantly.
But… I’m sorry, dear, Mom doesn’t have time to admire your speech right now; I’m being pestered by a little succubus, sob.
“Miss Yifu? Hurry up! If you wait until it’s over, there will be no chance. After all… you wouldn’t want me to keep…”
“Alright, I get it! Just for a moment.”
Yifu finally relented.
“Mm!”
Alice tilted her little face up, her heart racing. At this moment, she was so excited that her legs were trembling slightly.
With Yifu’s tender, soft lips briefly touching her cheek like a dragonfly touching the water, Leia on stage concluded her outstanding graduate speech.
Thunderous applause drowned out Alice’s glee.
Alice didn’t know how long she had waited for this soft kiss… Today, her efforts finally paid off.
Though it was just a fleeting moment, for Alice, her heart felt as sweet as honey.
Looking at Yifu, her eyes sparkled with pink bubbles.
However, both Yifu and Alice thought this kiss was brief and discreet, and no one would know. Little did they realize, there were clear eyes in the crowd fixing their gaze on them.
Especially when the owner of those eyes saw Yifu’s lips land on Princess Alice’s cheek, the pupils of those beautiful eyes widened in shock.
“Mom!”
Leia lifted the hem of her dress and rushed down from the stage, quickly reaching Yifu’s side, burying her head in Yifu’s embrace like a spoiled child.
“I did it! Mom, did you see? My speech…”
Leia’s little face was flushed, and there were glimmers of tears in her eyes.
All the hardships she had endured for so many years, all the pent-up emotions, burst forth at that moment.
She had completely forgotten what she had said during her speech.
She only felt light-headed and floated, feeling the numerous gazes from below. Her confidence was gradually being restored.
Especially when she thought of her beloved Yifu, who must be watching her with tears in her eyes, pride radiating from her being.
That made her heart swell even more.
“I… I saw it, you did very well.”
Yifu gently patted Leia’s head, but her tone was filled with guilt.
The instigator of Yifu’s guilty feelings, Alice, was now blushing and making a playful face at Yifu.
“Slightly.”
