Start From Soul Society and Cutting Through All the Worlds

Chapter 266 It seems you don’t know how rich you are

Alexia is the second princess. She is good-looking and has top grades.

Such a person is also a star-like figure in the entire academy, but such a dazzling figure has now agreed to his pursuit, so how can he be a passerby in the future?

Hide could tell that the princess named Alexia had no interest in him at all.

The reason why the other party did not follow the routine and agreed to his pursuit is somewhat intriguing.

“So as a couple, this seems to be your first time for Sid to come to the capital, so let me show you around, right?”

 Hearing Alexia's words, Sid raised his head and immediately understood that the other party was looking for a space to talk to him alone, so he nodded in agreement.

　It wasn’t until the two of them came to a deserted fountain square that Alexia finally revealed her intention.

“Did I actually hear what Mr. Sid and your two other classmates just said?

Sid-san didn’t really admire me, but he chose to do this because he wanted to prove himself and make Ye Cheng-san look good, didn’t he? "

“Coincidentally, in my current situation, I just need a character like Sid to help me.

 Because my family is planning to arrange an engagement for me, and the target is the swordsmanship teacher in our academy, so..."

"So, Your Highness, the Second Princess, wants me to be a shield to block the pursuit of that fiancée for you."

Before Alexia finished speaking, Sid had already given the answer in advance. After all, this kind of **** plot is not uncommon in third-rate female channel works, so before Alexia finished speaking, Sid has completely understood it.

“I have a general understanding of the situation, but please allow me to reject this proposal.

 I will go back and explain clearly to others later that what Her Royal Highness the Princess just said was just a joke, and others should not take it to heart. "

 Acting as a shield for a goddess-level beautiful girl, this is indeed the treatment of a minor player, but the point is that Alexia is too dazzling and outstanding. If he plays the role of her "boyfriend", how can he, Sid, be an ordinary person?

“Why, let’s pretend to be a couple. Isn’t this good for both you and me?”

I can avoid the worries of my engagement, and Sid can raise his head in Night City, right?

 Actually, the person I chose as my shield at the beginning was Ye Cheng, just because I happened to hear what you said. "

Alexia’s initial goal was indeed to get Night City to help.

　　After all, even if you want to show off your affection in front of Geno Guliffi, your lover must at least make the other person feel inferior.

Alexia had heard of Night City's reputation before he entered school. According to rumors, he was a genius who was not inferior to her sister Alice.

 And his temperament and appearance are indeed impeccable. He has fascinated the girls in the college just after he entered school.

If Ye Cheng is willing to help, then the effect should be even more outstanding, and his fiancée Jeno should also retreat in spite of the difficulties.

 But Alexia also knew very well that Ye Cheng was different from Sid. The other person was also a star figure in the academy and a highly favored heir in the family.

You may not care about your reputation, but the other party will definitely not sacrifice your reputation and choose to mess around with you.

It was also for this reason, and after hearing the conversation between Sid and the others just now, that Alexia chose Sid and agreed to his pursuit.

"Well, I want to prove that I am right in front of Night City, but even if I am with Her Highness Alexia, that guy will not be jealous because of it. , I know him too well. Although I don’t want to admit it, that guy has excellent qualities.

 So if Alexia wants to find a shield, I think it’s better to find someone smarter. I’m really not suitable..."

"Ding---!"

Before Sid finished speaking, a shining gold coin popped out of Alexia's hand.

Hide, who witnessed a flash of golden light, was rushing forward at an astonishing speed and steadily caught the gold coins falling in the air.

“You pretend to be my lover, and the reward is one gold coin a week. Is that okay?”

 “I will follow your orders, Your Highness Alexia.”

Hide does not admit that he loves money, but he only expresses that this trait is also possessed by the actor himself.

 Alexia left, and Sid also put away his expression of taking money as his life, but also put the gold coins he had just received into his pocket with a smile on his face.

Even in the royal capital, the purchasing power of gold coins is still not small. As the second son who is not valued in the family, Sid has not even received so much pocket money. It can only be said that she is worthy of being a princess, and her spending is indeed quite generous.

“Sid, you are still amazing. How long have you been in the academy? Even the flowers of the high mountains in the academy have been soaked.

Even judging from the situation just now, you are obviously the one being kept. I didn't see it before, but you still have such potential.

But I don’t understand. Aren’t you usually pursuing a low profile? This time I would do something like confess to Her Royal Highness. "

As soon as Alexia's front foot left, Ye Cheng's figure appeared from behind a tree, and looked at Sid who had just put the gold coin in his pocket with a playful expression.

“Didn’t you hear the specific situation just now? Her Highness the Second Princess wanted a cannon fodder to act as a shield, so I, who is just an ordinary person, was honored to be chosen.

 Speaking of which, Your Highness, the second princess, you were the original candidate. Now I should be able to help you out of trouble. Do you also want to give me some benefits? "

Hide was not surprised at all by the sudden appearance of Night City, because the Night City just now did not deliberately hide its aura.

Alexia failed to notice it simply because she was too weak, but Sid had already discovered that the Night City Cat was watching the show.

“It seems that before you came to the royal capital, you really weren’t pretending. You really didn’t know how rich you were, and yet you were so complacent because of the little reward Alexia gave you.

Since I have some free time now, I will take you around the capital to see the Siyue Chamber of Commerce, which has become famous recently and has received rave reviews. "

Even though Ye Cheng and Sid had just arrived in the royal capital, they had done some strategies before.

 So he quickly led Sid to the door of a large chamber of commerce.

 There was a long queue in front of the store called Siyue Chamber of Commerce, and there were even dedicated staff to maintain order.

Among the passers-by, Sid soon discovered that something was wrong, because many of the people in the queue were wearing almost modern clothes, and even had burgers in their hands!
