If one day, you became a favored noble lady, and the price was merely a change in gender, would you be willing?
Perhaps some would shout about how a man’s integrity must not be lost and stand tall between heaven and earth; however, Lin Tuo, who had been out of the ivory tower for two years and had his edges worn smooth by society’s 996 culture, expressed:
Willing! He was more than willing!
Thus, the god responded to his prayer, and the female lead of our story was born.
Wenidice Trenton.
As the only daughter of the Duke of Trenton, the greatest noble family in the Robert Empire, Wenidice had received endless pampering from within the family since she was a child.
Throughout her upbringing, the greatest hardship she had ever endured was tasting a bite of plain dark chocolate out of curiosity; the most exhausting thing she had ever done was lifting her staff, which was worth tens of thousands of gold coins — a birthday gift from her uncle, the Emperor, on her 12th birthday.
As for things like royal suspicion or family infighting, they never happened to her at all.
First of all, the Trenton family was a pillar of the royalty that had followed the First Majesty since the founding of the nation.
During the upheavals of the next 300 years, the Trenton family had always been the Empire’s Sharpest Sword.
Secondly, there were many marriages between the Trenton family and the royal family; the current Emperor’s grandmother was a member of the Trenton family.
Finally, the Trenton family advocated for genuine parental kindness and filial piety; every member of the family took pride in their surname and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the family.
In such an environment, Wenidice finally lived the luxurious, lazy life of her dreams.
Every day, she would sleep after eating her fill, and after waking up, she would play.
Occasionally, when the mood struck her, she would take her staff and practice some magic.
Her life was incredibly comfortable.
It would have been even better if a certain person didn’t exist.
“Good morning, Wendy~”
Wenidice looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, who was smiling like a golden fox, then turned her head to look at the bright sun outside the window.
She immediately understood —
‘I must not have slept well. It’s a hallucination!’
‘So, as long as I go back to sleep now, this troublesome woman in front of me will disappear without a trace!’
‘Yes! That’s it!’
Thus, our female lead expressionlessly pulled up the covers to hide herself, preparing to eliminate the hallucination by going back to sleep.
“Oh my~ Does Wendy hate me now? I’m so heartbroken~”
‘Strange, why is this hallucination so strong?’
“Hmm… if Wendy still doesn’t want to get up, I’ll have to use some special means~”
‘Special means? Hmph~ This is the Trenton manor. How could anyone dare to—’
“Aaaaaah!!!!”
A tragic echo rang through the entire Duke of Trenton’s manor.
The employees cleaning the courtyard stiffened for a moment, then resumed their work as if nothing had happened.
After all, this was already a daily routine for these two highnesses.
It wasn’t strange, not strange at all.
After a round of “loving” interaction, Wenidice, wearing pure white pajamas and clutching her waist with a pitiful expression, sat dejectedly on a chair in the courtyard.
Opposite her, the culprit who had ruined her peaceful morning, the Empire’s little princess, Isabella, was elegantly tasting the Trenton family’s fine tea.
Her well-behaved appearance made one doubt if the “evil deed” just now was truly her doing.
But Wenidice knew very well that beneath this “good girl” exterior was the most rebellious heart in the world — she wanted to take down her brothers and become the Empire’s second Empress!!!
If it were just that, Wenidice wouldn’t avoid her like she was a ghost.
After all, the Trenton family was only loyal to the Emperor and never participated in the struggle for the throne.
No matter which prince eventually took the throne, the Trenton family would still be the Empire’s Moon.
This had been an ironclad rule of the Empire for hundreds of years.
However, as could be seen from Isabella’s desire to become the Empress, she was definitely not one to follow the rules — she wanted to use Wenidice to tie the entire Trenton family to her ship!
That would definitely ruin her current lazy lifestyle.
She wasn’t going to do it!!!
Wenidice held the jade porcelain cup with both hands, blowing on the hot steam with her small mouth.
After feeling the temperature cool down slightly, she took a cautious sip, and her eyes immediately narrowed in comfort.
Sweet.
She liked it.
“Heh…”
But in the next moment, the blonde girl’s light chuckle immediately put her on high alert.
Her cat-like, tensed posture made the blonde girl feel quite helpless.
“Wendy, we are sisters who grew up together, after all. Can’t you trust me just once?”
Isabella tucked a stray golden hair behind her ear, her wine-red eyes filled with grievance.
“If you act like this, I’ll be very sad~”
It had to be said that the royal family’s excellent genes were well-reflected in Isabella.
She was an exquisite beauty, looking as if she had stepped out of an oil painting.
When she used her “cute” act, how many people in this world could refuse her request?
Wenidice was one of them.
For one thing, her current appearance was not inferior to Isabella’s at all.
As the two most beautiful women in the Empire, she and Isabella were known as the Imperial Flower and the Imperial Pearl, respectively.
Secondly, she had been tricked by this move of Isabella’s before.
Back then, her male mindset was still very strong.
Upon being asked by a blonde beauty, her inner machismo suddenly flared up.
Without even hearing what the other person wanted, she resolutely agreed to the conditions.
The result was that she was forced to go to school for two years… the 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM kind.
Since then, Wenidice, having learned her lesson, decided that no matter what Isabella said in the future, she must refuse first before thinking!
“Tsk, Wendy, you’re not as cute as you were when you were little.”
Failing to receive a response, the blonde girl continued the conversation on her own.
She placed the porcelain cup back on the wooden table and sighed sorrowfully under Wenidice’s wary gaze.
“Wendy, I’m about to leave the Empire. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the last time we see each other at the Duke of Trenton’s manor. Can’t you really be a little nicer to me?”
‘Bella is leaving the Empire?’
This news exploded in Wenidice’s mind like high-level magic, causing her to panic and quickly drink a mouthful of tea to calm herself.
As the black tea went down, Wenidice also understood the reason.
That’s right.
Isabella was already 17 years old this year.
It was time to consider marriage.
Her two older sisters had married off long ago when they were her age.
It hadn’t been easy for Isabella to hold out until now.
Although she was always afraid that Isabella would ruin her peaceful lazy life, the other party was truly her only friend in the entire Empire.
But now, she was leaving.
Naturally, Wenidice’s heart softened, and she began to consider whether she should be nicer to Isabella in these final moments, completely failing to notice the fox-like, successful expression appearing on the other girl’s face again.
“Where… where are you going? Maybe I can visit you when I’m free later.”
Finally, Wenidice took the initiative to say her first words to Isabella.
This was not easy because the eldest miss of the Trenton family actually had a bit of a morning temper; she had originally intended to ignore Isabella all day.
“The Natural Forest in the east of the Empire. It’s the territory of the Elf race. If you want to go, Uncle Roy and the others won’t agree.”
The Natural Forest… Indeed, that was too far.
Given how her elders pampered her, they would never allow her to go to such a distant place alone.
Wenidice shrunk her neck.
But to part with Isabella just like that, she was actually quite unwilling.
Especially when she keenly noticed the loneliness in the blonde girl’s eyes, her inner reluctance began to boil, which in turn began to influence her brain’s judgment.
“In that case…”
Wenidice’s head began to feel hot, and the words coming out of her mouth were no longer passing through her brain.
“How about I accompany you to the Empire’s border?”
‘If it’s only to the border, Father and the others should agree, right?’ Wenidice thought.
“I’ll accompany you.”
‘Wait… why does this voice sound so familiar? No! Isn’t this my own voice!’
‘I’ve been tricked!!!’
The silver-haired lady looked at Isabella in horror.
At this moment, there wasn’t a trace of loneliness left on the little princess.
What was on her face was clearly a smile of success!
Her slender finger pressed an ore-like object once more.
In the next moment, Wenidice’s voice came out of it clearly.
“I’ll accompany you.”
“Since you’ve said so, then I’ll be counting on Wendy to head to the Natural Forest with me tomorrow~”
Isabella held the recording device like a victor, smiling radiantly in front of the silver-haired lady, who had already turned into a gray-white statue.
“As part of the Empire Friendly Exchange Delegation~”
