“Is that so? Then what about the Beauty Trap?”
“Ugh—!”
Very good, Serveyia’s words nearly choked Lin Sheng to death again.
However, Lin Sheng had to admit that this strategy was far too overwhelming for his former self as a virgin.
Even though he now had plenty of beautiful girls around him, the Beauty Trap was different.
To be honest, a high-level Beauty Trap was extremely powerful.
A ‘beauty’ who is not only pretty but also shares common interests and is proactive appears before you—Lin Sheng truly wasn’t sure if he could resist the temptation.
Similar tactics only increase in number, and within Saint Laia itself, there may be those harboring improper desires.
Although I’m not saying this to make you anxious, Little Fox, you must be vigilant and resist temptation.
Serveyia spoke lightly, but even some great figures in history couldn’t withstand the allure of the Beauty Trap.
Lin Sheng didn’t believe he, as an ordinary person, could resist either.
“Serveyia, is it really that easy to withstand temptation?”
Lin Sheng honestly didn’t have much faith in his own willpower, but since Serveyia had already discussed these matters with him, he figured she probably had ways to help him.
“Little Fox, do you trust me?”
Serveyia’s question was so abrupt that Lin Sheng didn’t know what she meant for a moment.
“I do trust you, but does that matter?”
“If you trust me, Little Fox, then before making new acquaintances, you can come to me for approval.”
Uh, for some reason, Serveyia’s words sounded like something an overly controlling parent would say.
Moreover, he felt something was off.
“Serveyia, why do I feel like you’re also using a Beauty Trap on me?”
Actually, Lin Sheng couldn’t be blamed for thinking this way.
After all, Serveyia’s appearance was far too coincidental.
She always helped him solve various problems and had never really asked for anything in return.
Wasn’t this exactly like a Beauty Trap?
“That’s right. I’m using the Beauty Trap on you, Little Fox. As long as you obediently stay by my side and fulfill your duties as the Princess of St. Laia, my Beauty Trap is considered a success.”
Serveyia was frank, but Lin Sheng couldn’t shake off the strange feeling.
The more Serveyia spoke like this, the less he felt it was that simple.
“Serveyia, the way you’re saying this, it’s like you’re using me…”
“Little Fox, you’re already an adult. Isn’t it perfectly normal for adults to use each other Besides, you should understand that these purely beneficial relationships are more reliable than any others. Isn’t that so?”
Even though it made sense, being told this so bluntly still hurt Lin Sheng a bit.
Having spent so long in the Ivory Tower, he instinctively believed that relationships between people should be pure.
“Serveyia, even if that’s true, you don’t have to say it so plainly. It hurts a little.”
“Hehe, Little Fox, reality isn’t a fairy tale. There aren’t so many things that are simply black or white. As for now, since you chose to trust me, I can’t betray your expectations either.”
After finishing her words, Serveyia hugged the fox dumpling in front of her even tighter.
Although she used quite a bit of strength, after being softened by the fluffy tail and passing through to Lin Sheng, it was completely bearable.
In fact, it made Lin Sheng feel comfortable and at ease.
“Serveyia, how exactly can I become the Princess everyone expects?”
“Before I answer that, Little Fox, I want to know—whose expectations do you want to meet as the Princess?”
“Wha—what do you mean?”
“It’s simple. Different people have different expectations of a Princess. Some hope the Princess can stand alone and bear great responsibility. Some want the Princess to be nothing more than a mascot.”
“Some don’t want the Princess to exist at all. Of course, none of these are truly important. What’s important is—what kind of Princess do you want to become, Little Fox?”
Serveyia kept asking questions, but Lin Sheng didn’t know the answers himself.
What kind of person did he want to become?
Whose expectations did he want to fulfill?
These questions felt too distant for him.
“I—I don’t know either. I want to stand on my own, but…”
Lin Sheng thought for a moment, then summoned his courage to look directly at Serveyia.
“I’m afraid of making mistakes…”
“That doesn’t matter, Little Fox. What’s crucial is what you want to do. As long as you’re willing, I can teach you how to become a Princess beloved by all.”
Hearing Lin Sheng’s decision, Serveyia’s eyes brightened.
It seemed the Little Fox before her was still very promising.
With just a little guidance, she could already see his transformation.
“The first step is to accept your new name.”
