Chapter 217: You Kissed!

“You… kissed?”

Four mechanical horses clad in armor had the build of small elephants. The carriage behind them was enormous, like a small house.

The Royal Knight Guard’s carriage sped along a special quiet road.

Inside the carriage, the maid Cress’s eyes were filled with questions.

She looked at the maid Isabella on the sofa and at Gabrielle, who was sitting beside her and leisurely drinking tea.

“Kissed?”

Gabrielle had a completely nonchalant expression and gave Heavenly God Cress a smile.

The carriage seemed to have a special design and did not jolt at all, as if it were traveling on stationary ground.

In short, it was very expensive.

The road they were traveling on was also a dedicated lane for the Royal Knight Guard.

Since there was no need to take a train for travel within the city, they had naturally chosen this faster and more convenient mode of transportation.

Gabrielle looked at Cress’s suspicious gaze and for a moment did not know what to say.

At this time, Isabella also shyly stammered and could not get a single word out.

Her eyes occasionally drifted to Cress’s face to check her emotions, then looked at Gabrielle with a probing gaze.

She did not seem afraid of Cress finding out about the kiss and even carried a trace of anticipation!

“Miss Cress, perhaps you misheard?”

“It was Murphy who told me. You and Isa kissed.” Although she was still doubtful, Cress had clearly relaxed a lot and a gentle light flashed in her eyes.

“That means Murphy was lying to me. She definitely did not do it on purpose. She has always wanted a friend.”

Gabrielle said with a cheeky grin.

However, she had not expected that this sentence would cause Cress to fall into deep thought.

“Heavenly Envoy…”

“Huh?”

“Gabrielle, do you know about Heavenly Envoys?”

As Cress spoke, she sat down on Gabrielle’s left side.

The long sofa was large enough for six girls the size of Cress to sit side by side.

Yet Cress and Isabella on the right side were both pressed close to her, making Gabrielle feel so crowded that she was almost suffocating.

“Gabrielle, I have told you before that your past is very complicated. You are also a Heavenly Envoy.”

“Mmm~ You did say that.”

“Heavenly Envoys should all be rational and perfect humans… They cannot possibly possess this kind of emotion. Your Holy Body allows you to maintain the greatest degree of rationality. As for ‘rationality’…”

“Miss Cress means that Miss Murphy is also a Heavenly Envoy?”

“Yes. Gabrielle is so smart.”

A look of relief appeared on Cress’s face.

She seemed much better at expressing her emotions than before, although it was unknown whether it was an act.

She expressed her views to Gabrielle, and her shoulder was also pressed against the other party, as if physical contact was also a means.

“The closer we are to perfection, the stronger we become.”

“Why?” Gabrielle found Cress very interesting.

“For example, Heavenly Envoys have very weak reproductive ability. Therefore, they develop obsessions and emotions toward their children and spouses that far surpass those of humans. This is the emotion they evolved for survival and reproduction. Rationality is the endpoint. It is the essence.”

After Cress finished speaking, she did not forget to give Gabrielle a smile.

Although it was still somewhat stiff, at least it looked like she was gradually becoming more like a human.

These words went in one of Gabrielle’s ears and out the other.

She usually rarely refuted other people’s views, even if they were difficult to understand, so she simply nodded.

However, Isabella could not stay calm.

“I dare not agree.”

Isabella, the Royal Knight Captain beside her, spoke up.

Her gaze was like a knife placed against Cress’s neck.

“Miss Cress, abandoning emotions will not make one stronger. This is indeed a part of rationality, but ‘rationality’ is ultimately also a defined term.”

“Captain, your experience is too limited.” Cress only glanced at Isabella indifferently and had no desire to explain to her at all.

“Is that so? Then who exactly is Miss Cress to be so arrogant that she refuses to communicate with others?”

Cress did not answer.

Her indifferent gaze seemed to show disdain.

Seeing this, Isabella grabbed Gabrielle’s wrist.

“Huh?” Gabrielle had not yet reacted when Isabella seized her arm.

It seemed one hand was not enough to satisfy her, so she hugged both of Gabrielle’s arms over.

“Miss Gabrielle, have you forgotten what happened last night~?”

“Last night?”

Gabrielle’s face instantly turned red.

Has she been discovered? What is that idiot Isabella doing! This way Cress will…

And Cress was now indeed looking at the two of them with a suspicious gaze.

After hearing Isabella’s words, her imagination had already begun to run wild.

“You…”

However, Cress discovered that she was actually somewhat doubtful.

Since Miss Isa had no intention of abducting her daughter, simple physical contact was also possible.

Olivia had once done something similar to her.

Kissing.

It had to be said that it was a novel feeling.

It was like two people who did not belong to the same individual opening their hearts to each other.

For Isabella, whose mind was not yet mature, and for her daughter, it was possible to become addicted.

What exactly was Isa’s purpose?

“Huh?”

Suddenly, Cress also hugged Gabrielle’s arm.

Gabrielle did not know what to say.

Is Mother as stupid as the Evil God?

Gabrielle discovered that Cress was actually imitating Isabella, although she had no idea what her purpose was.

Just like that, she was sandwiched in the middle by the two of them.

Gabrielle pressed her legs together.

Some wrinkles appeared on her beautiful white dress.

Isabella and Cress both displayed an attitude of refusing to yield, as if this was a silent争夺战.

A steady stream of spring wind blew in from the window.

It was as if an invisible fierce struggle was taking place in the air, and their weapons were those eyes filled with complex emotions.

Gabrielle could only feel that it was extremely hot.

“Stop, stop, stop.”

At this moment, Miss Olivia, who was sitting on the other side of the carriage, stood up.

She seemed to have pressed the pause button on the competition, causing both girls to stop at the same time.

There were three peeled apples on the plate.

“We are almost there. Lady Gabrielle has matters to attend to. You can deal with your affairs after we return.”

Cress did not withdraw her hand.

“Mmm.” Isabella nodded. She did the same.

Gabrielle let out a sigh.

For a moment, she did not know what kind of sound to make.

However, something major had indeed happened to Bai this time.

If Heavenly God Cress was like popping candy, then the Flame Saint was undoubtedly a time bomb.

The carriage slowly came to a stop.

Outside the window, a white building over a hundred meters tall came into view.
