Hikaru looked at Anno, and Anno also looked at Hikaru. Suddenly, Anno closed her eyes and brought her lips towards him.
Hikaru was scared, and he screamed in his heart: "Why are you pushing your lips towards me? I am a good man, and I won't do these things."
Okay, Hikaru really liked Anno. However, any normal man would feel the same way if they met someone who was just as beautiful, and it would not be love but lust.
Seeing Anno's innocent face that was waiting for a sweet kiss, Hikaru sighed, as he didn't want to destroy her innocence.
Suddenly, he remembered something and thought, "Wait! Anno is going to break off her engagement with another person; however, she has a hidden buff that makes her lucky. But when she is next to me, the hidden buff doesn't work. Maybe…'
Hikaru thought of something terrible that would probably affect his life.
He hypothesized that the person who got divorced would be the main character of this world, so Anno was definitely the heroine, so did that make him the villain?
The more Hikaru thought about it, the more he felt that his speculation was correct because this was a common motif in novels.
The main character's engagement would be annulled by the heroine, and he would be despised. Then the protagonist suddenly explodes with the aura and becomes stronger in a short time, like he took some stimulants.
After that, the main character returns to defeat the heroine, and although the female lead would be defeated, she would not hold grudges against the male lead, and the two former lovers would become enemies.
Hikaru felt a terrible headache. He thought that if he became Anno's fiancé, then he was sure that he was definitely a villain, and if he ended up feuding with the main character, then he was sure that he would die or have a tragic end.
He found it difficult to understand why this world had players and a protagonist. Was what he just assumed wrong? Is everything just a coincidence, like the motifs in the novel? If so, then as he was thinking, he unknowingly used the Cosmic Insight skill to see the future.
[Ding! You cannot see the future because the future you need to see involves a person protected by the will of the world.]
"F*ck!"
Hikaru swore in his heart: "Damn it! Damn it! Who is protected by the will of the world? It's definitely the main character! Damn it!'
The system announcement negated Hikaru's positive speculation altogether.
Hikaru was desperate; he couldn't see the future and didn't know how to cope. Suddenly, he thought: "Wait! If that person is really the main character, I'm sure there won't be any problems. The plot twist is definitely the opening plot; the main character is still very weak, and I am sure he cannot threaten my life.
Hikaru thought about many things. He thought that if he could meet the main character, he would definitely kill him immediately if he was weaker than him.
Although he didn't know how the so-called world's will would protect the protagonist, he didn't want to be a stepping stone for him.
"Okay, let's go to the Dark-Elf kingdom and observe the situation first." Hikaru thought as he made this decision.
As Hikaru looked at Anna's lovely face and her rising red lips that were approaching him, he reached out and squeezed her cheek, which felt so soft, like a baby's skin.
As Anno was pinched on the cheek by Hikaru, she felt a little surprised and opened her eyes to look at him; then, Anno closed her eyes again, as she seemed to enjoy Hikaru's hand.
Hikaru sighed; he wondered if Anno was the heroine then would Anno regret what she was doing today.
Even a fanfic author wouldn't dare write about a heroine who loves the villain.
Hikaru shook his head and ignored this for the time being, without thinking about it any further. He also didn't know if things would be as bad as he thought, or if maybe the things he had just thought would not happen.
Hikaru let go of Anno's face. At this point, Anno's face showed a bit of disappointment, like she wanted to enjoy the warmth of his hand more.
Hikaru didn't care about that and asked, "I want to know more about your betrothal."
Even though he couldn't see the future, he at least needed to know information about who he assumed was the main character.
Anno was a little embarrassed; she bowed her head and said, "This engagement started about 40 years ago. At that time, in the kingdom of Catherine, a person of extremely high talent appeared; so to speak, in the past 1,000 years, that person's gift was the highest. That's the prince of the Catheryne kingdom, Duraxi."
"Duraxi was only 10 years old at that time, but he was already level 20, and his strength was nothing to scoff at. Besides, Duraxi also possessed talent in swords and magic, so he could fight both swordsmen and magicians easily. It could be said that he possessed the ultimate class."
"At that time, I had just turned 400 years old when my mother wanted to cooperate with the human kingdoms." She realized that Duraxi had great potential, so she decided to let me meet him.
Hikaru had a bit of a headache hearing that, although the Dark-Elf race had an extremely long lifespan, Anno was over 400 years old, but she appeared to be only about 20 years old.
However, when I heard that a 400-year-old girl was engaged to a 10-year-old kid, I felt a bit... wrong.
Hikaru asked: "Did you accept that engagement?"
Anno glanced at Hikaru with a worried look on her face. Seeing that Hikaru was expressionless, she breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There wasn't any other choice. My mother couldn't do anything else at that time either because it was an order of the Senate. They felt that Duraxi's potential was huge and that he could very well become the head of the Human Race in the future, and if I married him, then the Dark-Elf kingdom would develop better."
Hikaru felt some sympathy for Anno. He had also read in many novels that the fate of a princess was very tragic. The princess or daughter of a noble family would become a commodity for two clans or countries so that they could work together.
Hikaru felt that Selvih at that time must have been heartbroken as her daughter was only seen by others as a commodity to be traded, and as a mother, it would certainly be very painful.
However, as Selvih was the queen of the Dark-Elf kingdom, perhaps she had to put the kingdom's interests first. Besides, the Senate may also put pressure on her.
Anno continued: "At that time, I knew that my fate was not mine, so it was not up to me to decide who I wanted to marry."
"However, things didn't turn out as expected. When Duraxi was 18 years old, the mana in his body suddenly weakened, and the time and resources needed to level him up were also a lot. However, he was like a bottomless pit, and no matter how many resources he used, his strength would not increase much."
"At that time, people realized that the genius of the past had now become a useless guy. The Senate, of course, did not accept this, so they wanted to annul the engagement between me and him. My mother also agreed with this, but ten years ago, Duraxi suddenly had an accident and lost consciousness."
"The king of Catheryne kingdom, Duraxi's father, used Duraxi's coma as an excuse to postpone the annulment of the engagement. Now that Duraxi has regained consciousness and has lost all of his mana, the Senate is fully in agreement with the annulment of the engagement."
After hearing this, Hikaru sighed. He felt that what Anno had just said was really a common motif in novels. At this time, Hikaru confirmed that Duraxi was the main character.
"However…"
Anno continued, "I know that even if I break off my engagement with Duraxi, I cannot escape the fate of being a commodity. The Senate will find another person of high potential to betroth me to."
"But…"
When it came to this, Anno's eyes shone. She looked at him and said, "When I met you, I didn't know who you were or what kind of person you were. But your concern for me was very genuine."
"You don't care about my beauty or my power. I see only concern in your eyes.Hikaru, I know you don't like me right now, but you can't stop me from liking you."
"You don't have to force yourself to like me; you just need to stand there and let me love you, pursue you, and let you gradually fall in love with me."
"Ack!" Hikaru was surprised; he didn't know how to handle this situation. He really wanted to say: "Princess, you are the heroine; do you not know that? Heroine will never fall in love with a villain. You don't care about me; can you leave me alone?"
However, Hikaru definitely wouldn't say such words because the girl was already pitiful.
Hikaru sighed and said: "So that means this time around, you're going to annul your engagement with Duraxi publicly?"
Anno nodded.
Hikaru sighed once more, and he said: "If you use this method, you will insult him—or, to be more precise, you will insult the entire Catheryne kingdom. Can't you use a better way?"
Anno shook his head and said, "I have no right to decide. The Senate said that the King of Catheryne Kingdom used Duraxi's coma to delay the annulment of the engagement for more than 10 years, so the Senate decided to use this method to take revenge and humiliate Catheryne Kingdom."
Hikaru was completely scared. He thought to himself, "Don't you guys know that Duraxi is the main character?" Now he is only temporarily weakened; later on, he will rise like a storm and be unstoppable. And by then, even if you kneel down and beg him, he won't let you live.
Hikaru said: "Okay, so when will we depart for the Dark-Elf kingdom?"
Anno happily hugged Hikaru's arm, and once again his arm was engulfed in two soft hills.
Then she happily asked, "Do you accept? You will come with me, won't you?"
Hikaru nodded reluctantly.
Anno was so happy that she nearly wept. She wiped her tears with her hand and said, "I know! You definitely have a little crush on me. Don't worry; I know you also have Vuni, Saraya, and the girl from earlier. "Don't worry, I will live with them peacefully. No matter how many girls you have around, it's enough as long as there's a place in your heart for me."
Hikaru: "..."
