V2: Chapter 99: Jealousy Should Be Accompanied by Sarcasm
"Tsk..."
"Who cares what they're doing?" Liang Lin awkwardly turned her head away. Although she kept reminding herself not to look at those two, her eyes kept glancing at them out of the corner of her eye.
"Of course, Miss Hedy. Others gossip about you behind your back because they don't understand you. But I'm different. My thoughts have always been the same as yours. When I first heard about your deeds, my heart was filled with admiration for you."
Liang Di's sincere gaze fell on Hedy. Everything that was happening now made Hedy feel like she was dreaming. Someone, a noble lady, actually supported her love and her spirit of pursuing love.
Tears welled up in Hedy's eyes and streamed down her face.
“Miss Liang Di, I will remember what you said to me today for the rest of my life. These are the most touching words I've ever heard. Before, no one had ever supported me, not even a young lady my own age. Your words are enough.”
Liang Di nodded vigorously, shaking the other's hand forcefully, her tone even more sincere. “Miss Hedy, you mustn't give up on pursuing your love! If this precious spirit disappears, I will be so disappointed!”
“I will never give up!” Hedy straightened her back, her face hardened, like a warrior about to go into battle.
Isn't that going to war? Going to the battlefield of love, going to the battlefield of foraging for wild vegetables, going to the battlefield of serving a useless husband in the future.
"I will definitely persist. If my family doesn't agree, I'll keep fighting them until they do! If, if they still don't agree, then, I'll... I... with my lover, we..."
Heddy hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "We'll elope!"
After saying this, she thought for a moment and added, "If we still can't elope, then, we'll commit suicide together, we'll drown ourselves in the lake!"
Tsk tsk tsk~
Liang Di chuckled inwardly, but on the surface, she remained calm, still pretending to be innocent, "Miss Hedy, you are simply my role model in terms of love, I will definitely learn from you!"
Behind them, Liang Lin, who had heard everything: "....."
They really are two crazy women.
However, compared to Hedy, Liang Lin thought Liang Di was even crazier.
The reason is actually very simple.
Hedy and her lover, at least on the surface, seemed to be in love, and her lover must have treated her very well for her to be so love-struck. As for why he was so good to her, the main reason was probably not true love, but rather a desire to make a fortune, or... to climb the social ladder?
But Liang Di, that girl is different. Even though Liang Lin hadn't shown any particular affection for her, nor had she said they were mutually in love, Liang Di was so devoted to her, always following her around like a little shadow, refusing to leave no matter how much she scolded or hit her. It was truly unbelievable.
On the other side.
"Thank you. Your words of encouragement are enough for me." Hedy took out a handkerchief, sobbing as she wiped away the tears streaming from her eyes.
Hmm, that should be about right.
Seeing how deeply she was immersed in her emotions, Liang Di knew the time was ripe. Her words had successfully moved her, completely disarming her already fragile defenses.
“However… Miss Hedy.”
Liang Di lowered her head slightly, a worried expression on her face, and leaned closer to the other woman, whispering, “But I heard that your family has been locking you up recently. I was quite worried about you. I wanted to visit you, but then I thought that we don’t have much of a connection, and you probably wouldn’t want to see me, so I didn’t go.”
“Yes, that’s true. I’ve indeed been locked up by my family.”
Upon hearing this, Hedy deflated like a frost-bitten eggplant, her head drooping.
"Ah..." Liang Di patted the other's shoulder with concern. "It's alright, look, you're out now, aren't you? Your family still cares about you, they're still willing to let you out."
"No way...!"
Hedy's expression suddenly became agitated, attracting the attention of the few nobles who hadn't left yet. She immediately lowered her voice, "It's not what you think, they didn't let me out!"
Hedy puffed out her cheeks, pouting.
"I ran away by myself! If they find out I ran away, they'll definitely catch me and take me back!"
Oh?
Liang Di was quite surprised. This girl was surprisingly naive. She had only asked a casual question, and she had told the truth without even hesitating, revealing that she had run away.
Miss Tentacle almost chuckled. This young lady wasn't afraid of her and her family informing on them. But that was fine too; it would be easy to use her for some tasks or extract information from her later.
After all… Hedy's father, Cleveland Cromwell, was one of Queen Doris's most loyal dogs, and a rather well-hidden one at that. If it weren't for the fact that no traitors in the Magic Tower had been caught and their informants revealed, the people in the Magic Tower would probably still be in the dark.
"I see…"
Liang Di "kindly" reminded her, "Then, Miss Hedy, you must be careful not to get dragged back by your family."
Hedy nodded, then mysteriously moved closer to Liang Di, almost leaning against her.
In a very soft, almost inaudible voice, she said to the other person, "Let me tell you, actually, this is our nineteenth time eloping. If it succeeds, we can be together forever. If it doesn't, then on our twentieth attempt, we'll commit suicide together."
Oh, wow!
Liang Di raised an eyebrow, watching the other person with great interest.
I really didn't expect this. She actually wants to commit suicide for love. This girl has guts; she's willing to give up her life for love.
To be honest, this is quite similar to her own. She just wondered if these two would feel happiness or fear when facing death. Would one of them run away at the last minute? Could their love really withstand close scrutiny?
Behind them, Liang Lin, seeing the two so close together, stared with her eyes almost popping out of their sockets. Unfortunately, Liang Di didn't turn around and didn't see the fascinating expression on her sister's face.
"Oh, is that so? That sounds very romantic~" Liang Di drawled.
But I'm sorry, you told the wrong person. You shouldn't have told me.
Liang Di smiled silently to herself.
"I will always support you, Miss Hedy."
At this moment, Hedy picked up the pocket watch hanging around her neck, glanced at it, and then put her coat on. "Miss Liang Di, the rain outside will stop soon, and the time I agreed to meet him is almost up. I should go now."
"Well then," Liang Di's smile became even more strange. She waved goodbye to the other woman, "Good luck, Miss Hedy."
After Hedy left, Liang Lin walked over and nudged the girl beside her hard with her elbow, looking at the lovestruck girl's back with puzzlement.
"Hey, you just let her go like that? It's that simple. Seeing you go through all that trouble, getting so close to her, I thought you were trying to get some important information out of her, or plotting something that would be very helpful to us."
As she said this, Liang Lin's eyes practically rolled to the ceiling.
