Chapter 805 I will love you forever (11)
Sunlight streamed in from outside the hall, blindingly white. As Yu Zhizhi ran down the steps, lifting her skirt, a figure in deep purple was about to turn the corner around the pillar.
She quickened her pace: "Your Grace, Duke—"
The Duke stopped, turned slightly to the side, and waited for the little rabbit to catch up.
Yu Zhizhi stopped in front of him, her chest heaving, and her words came out in short, broken sentences due to her rapid breathing: "My wedding with Lord Shenhe, to be held in the Valoran Sea, really... is that alright?"
Should His Excellency the Duke suppress all the voices from the Empire?
More importantly, Yu Zhizhi wanted to ask him, "Do you really agree to me forming a contract with Lord Shenhe?"
The Duke turned around, sunlight falling on his deep purple robes and illuminating the silver snake pattern embroidered on his cuffs. He looked at the little rabbit female before him, his golden vertical pupils narrowing slightly: "Very well."
“But…” Yu Zhizhi didn’t know why, but her heart trembled slightly. “But, Your Grace, we…”
The little rabbit seemed a bit anxious; she appeared to have a lot to say.
But I couldn't bring myself to say it.
The Duke lowered his eyes and said in a gentle tone, "Zhizhi, you've already decided to form a pact with Shenhe, haven't you?"
Yu Zhizhi nodded slowly.
The Duke reached out and gently touched her cheek: "I have no objection. The weather will be fine tomorrow, I will escort you to your wedding."
Yu Zhizhi looked up at him, her lips moving slightly: "And what about us?"
"That's just a contract. Whether it exists or not, it won't affect our relationship."
A gentle breeze stirred, ruffling the Duke's dark blue hair and deep purple robes, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his golden vertical pupils.
"Zhizhi, I will always protect you and love you forever."
Hearing the Duke's words, Yu Zhizhi felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She stared wide-eyed, afraid to blink, lest tears fall.
The Duke leaned down and gently kissed her eyes: "Don't be sad, I'm here."
“…Mmm.” Her voice was choked with tears.
It was extremely quiet all around. Under the distant pillars, the servants stood with their hands at their sides, their gazes drifting towards this direction almost imperceptibly before quickly returning to their own, pretending to be looking at the distant scenery.
The Duke's kiss was tender. He felt the little female's eyelashes were wet, so he raised his hand to support the back of her head and kissed away her tears.
This scene puzzled many of the servants in the Valoran palace.
I thought the Duke would form a bond with the rabbit lady, but instead, it was the shark marshal from the Deep Sea Empire who arrived.
But if, as the rumors suggest, His Excellency the Duke has no feelings for the Rabbit Clan Miss, then what is happening before our eyes seems quite different.
Previously, the Duke was indifferent to the Rabbit Clan Miss.
But now anyone who sees it would think that His Highness the Duke is very fond of her...
So much so that even my gaze softened with an unprecedented tenderness.
Yu Zhizhi didn't feel so sad anymore.
The Duke took her hand and led her toward the bookstore.
In the courtyard, the cubs were all waiting for her.
The wolf cubs were as clingy as ever. Mu Lei quietly rubbed against her leg, the second cub peeked out from behind her, the third cub's paws were on her skirt, and the youngest, Mu Wei, clung to her and wouldn't get down, her furry head rubbing against her chin, making soft, contented purrs.
But the snake cubs all became listless.
Yunze lay coiled in the corner, its tail tip drooping, lacking its usual liveliness. Yunxiao and Yunyao lay side by side, heads touching, neither speaking. Yunnian and Yunnuo huddled together, their tails tangled in an unbreakable knot.
The smallest snake was curled up on the bath towel, only its tiny silvery-white head showing, its eyes wet as it looked at her, its lips pursed. They had thought that this time their father and mother would officially form a bond!
They're all ready!
Yunze even secretly learned how to roll fireworks, and Yunxiao and Yunyao spent the whole night reciting blessings.
But then a giant shark suddenly appeared out of nowhere, ruining their plans!
Yu Zhizhi squatted down and comforted each of the baby snakes.
"Don't be sad, I will come back."
The baby snakes quickly recovered and happily wagged their tails, circling around their mother.
That night.
Yu Zhizhi stayed in the study. She was so tired that she hugged the little wolf cub, lay down at the very back of the bed, and slept for two hours.
As dawn broke, the door was gently pushed open.
Morning light streamed in through the crack in the door, and several maids filed in, their footsteps light.
They carried brocade boxes and silks, the candlelight casting long, gentle shadows behind them. A maid approached the bedside and gently woke the still-sleeping Yu Zhizhi.
Yu Zhizhi opened her eyes groggily and saw several unfamiliar, smiling faces in front of her.
With her rabbit ears drooping slightly, she blinked, not fully awake, when a maid gently pulled her up and led her to sit down on a chair by the window.
A soft towel dampened with warm water was gently used to wipe her cheeks; the temperature was just right, dispelling any lingering sleepiness.
Another maid brought over a white porcelain teacup, from which wisps of white steam rose, the tea aroma delicate, carrying hints of honey and mint.
"Miss Zhizhi, today is the day you and Lord Shenhe form a bond. Have a cup of tea to wake yourself up first."
Yu Zhizhi took the teacup, her fingertips touching the warm cup, and took two sips.
The tea slid down my throat, warm and comforting, and I felt a little more awake, but my heart started beating faster and faster on its own.
She looked up at the daylight outside the window; it was already broad daylight.
The maids opened the brocade box and took out the magnificent dress.
The deep blue satin fabric is adorned with tiny pearls and silver thread embroidery of wave patterns.
They surrounded her, dressing her layer by layer, combing her hair, applying makeup, and adorning her with pearl hair ornaments, their movements fluid and skillful.
The Yu Zhizhi in the mirror slowly became unfamiliar; she was no longer the sleepy little rabbit nestled in the quilt, but a bride about to become a marshal of the deep sea.
She clenched her fists lightly on her knees, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her palms.
The maid was adjusting her belt. When she looked up and saw her expression, she smiled and said, "It's understandable to be nervous, Miss Zhizhi."
She gently fastened her belt and took a half step back. "The Hanhai Army Corps was fully prepared before dawn, waiting to pick you up."
Upon hearing what the maid said, Yu Zhizhi lowered her head, a slight smile playing on her lips.
Finally, a light, white veil was placed on her head, and the maid smiled and said, "His Excellency the Duke has also come. Today, he will personally escort you there."
Yu Zhizhi's white rabbit ears stood up slightly.
Although the Duke had already said yesterday that he would deliver it to her today.
But when the moment actually arrived, my feelings were still complicated.
"Let's go~" With everything prepared, the maids helped the rabbit-girl up from her chair.
Yu Zhizhi followed the maids out the door.
In the courtyard of the study, blue lotuses bloomed in the pond, and the Duke was indeed standing there by the long corridor.
See you tomorrow~
