I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.
Chapter 21 Come to ask for cooperation
But then again, the original owner was really crazy enough to even play a double agent. No wonder she ended up being locked up in a mental hospital and spending the rest of her life in regret. Even if Olivia didn't do anything, I'm afraid everyone would think she was crazy.
Just as I was thinking about when to go to the Peters' house, the housekeeper Cora suddenly came to report: "Miss Manjusaka, there are guests visiting."
Manjushage had said before that no one was allowed to enter the training ground without her permission. Korra was the one with privileges among all the maids. After all, she was obviously more interested in forbidden romances than athletic handsome guys. Moreover, as a housekeeper in the castle for decades, she knew more about the rules.
If Korra wasn't so busy, Manjushage really wanted to ask her to help look after the training ground.
"Who is it this time?"
Everyone in the Kingdom of Aslan knew that Manjushage was an unrivaled homebody. She had no friends, did not like sports, and the Star Flower Lord did not even dare to mention a word about getting married, let alone inviting people to her home. She lived to the age of twenty-four, and all her friends could be counted on one hand.
If someone comes to visit without prior notice, there is a high chance that he is here to cause trouble, just like Donna.
Sure enough, what Cora said was exactly what she guessed: "She is from the same family as Miss Donna from last time..."
Lycoris radiata put on an expression that said, "See, I knew it was like that," but what Cora said next almost made her jaw drop: "She calls herself Olivia Peters."
In the same reception room, Lycoris radiata was wearing a long white gauze dress, looking dignified, elegant and beautiful.
However, the person sitting opposite her this time was Olivia, the woman she wanted to avoid at all costs.
"Miss Olivia, you... you have... something to say?" Manjushage's heart was in her throat, and she couldn't utter a complete sentence after thinking for a long time.
She was almost broken-down: Why is the heroine here? It's different from what we agreed! Am I going to die soon? I don't want to die. I'm still young!
"Please don't be nervous, Miss Manjushage. I'm here to ask for something." It was already very rude to visit someone without permission. Olivia was even prepared to be held accountable, but why did this Miss Manjushage look even more flustered than she was?
"Am I wearing something too weird?" Olivia thought to herself.
The white and pink gradient dress she was wearing was not particularly gorgeous, and the fabric was not expensive. Theoretically, to meet a rich lady of Manjusaka's level, one should make a solemn application and then dress up before coming to visit. However, Olivia was currently in a critical period of power struggle, and her power had just begun to improve. She did not have that much money to buy high-quality fabrics and ask a famous tailor to make a luxurious dress.
The one she was wearing was the most impressive thing she had.
The reason why I didn't send out a formal invitation and instead visited alone like this is because I didn't want to embarrass myself and be laughed at by others.
But who would have thought that Lycoris radiata was even simpler than what she wore.
At first, Olivia thought that the long white gauze dress on Manjushage was some high-end design that she couldn't understand, but now that they were sitting so close, the details and patterns on the clothes could be seen clearly. Olivia realized that it was really just an ordinary dress.
It is no exaggeration to say that there are a lot of these clothes. They are simple and exquisite in appearance and very comfortable to wear. Most importantly, the price is very affordable, making them the favorite of many young girls.
Olivia herself has several pieces of similar styles, but ever since she came out on the stage, her supportive grandfather won't allow her to wear them anymore, saying that they are not appropriate for her status.
Unexpectedly, as the most noble daughter of the Aslan Kingdom, Manjushage actually wore such clothes. Even after entering the door, Olivia saw many maids wearing the same style. However, Manjushage was extremely beautiful, had excellent temperament, and a first-class figure, which gave people the illusion that the clothes she was wearing must be extremely luxurious.
If Olivia hadn't seen the wealth and grandeur of the castle, she would have thought she had walked into the wrong door.
Looking more closely, Lycoris radiata didn't even have any makeup on, but her skin was smooth, tender, fair and translucent, and her eyes and eyebrows were full of charm. Such an extremely beautiful face, without any makeup, was already stunningly beautiful, like a treasure from heaven to the world.
Olivia couldn't help but sigh, as expected, she was a young lady from a wealthy family, and she never disdained to rely on external things to show off her unparalleled beauty and respected status.
However, what she didn't know was that Manjushage was simply not that arrogant at home and preferred comfortable clothes to pretty clothes. She didn't wear any makeup because Olivia came too suddenly, causing her to panic and not prepare anything.
Now that she thought about it, she had been so worried about taking care of Luo Shiqi during this period of time that her skin must be dull, her pores were enlarged, and her dark circles were as thick as a panda! She wanted to look in the mirror several times before, but when she thought about her beautiful face being ruined, she was scared.
If she had known Olivia was coming, she would have definitely searched through all the closets for clothes and put on heavy makeup.
What's the difference between him now and the sloppy old man who wears a white vest at a dinner party, with rotten flip-flops hanging down his feet, and fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan!
No wonder no matter who goes to someone else's house to play, they have to send a polite letter first and then pay a formal visit. So that's how it is!
Thinking of this, Manjushage was overcome with grief. The heroine was fully equipped to fight with her, but she, the vicious female supporting role, not only was she not prepared at all, but she was also afraid of causing a feud with Olivia and did not dare to not let her in. She was at a disadvantage right from the start, and now she must be looked down upon - wait, did I hear her wrongly, she just said she had something to ask for?
Manjushage's brain, which was about to short-circuit, came back to its senses: Olivia is here to ask me for help?
She asked tentatively: "What is it?"
I won't do anything like murder, arson, robbery, extortion, or taking the blame for others!
"I would like to ask you to help me take control of the Peters family." Olivia was a little confused when she heard her gentle attitude.
Her visit was so sudden and rude, but Manjushage didn't blame her at all?
Olivia had visited several nobles' homes before and brought many gifts, but when they heard that it involved family struggles, they shook their heads and refused. But it was not easy to ask for the gifts back.
This time when Olivia came to see Lycoris radiata, she had no hope at all and didn't even take any gifts.
"I disturbed her peaceful life for more than 20 years!" Olivia's heart was trembling. It felt like you were ready to be scolded, but the other party was not only not angry, but also asked you kindly if you were hungry and if you wanted to eat. The contrast was too great.
In her imagination, Lycoris radiata was the least likely to agree.
There's even the possibility of insulting Olivia for her rude behavior.
“Is this really true?!”
Olivia actually came to ask for cooperation instead of declaring war. Is this true? Is this a dream?
If you think about it carefully, if Manjushage didn't resent Olivia and try to trip her up everywhere, the two of them would never have become enemies and wouldn't have ended up in such a tragic way.
However, Manjushage and Olivia had no contact with each other, so why did she make such a choice?
"Why do you want to make a deal with me?" Manjushage tried to appear cautious. After all, theoretically, this was the first time the two of them met, so she couldn't be too proactive.
Olivia smiled from the bottom of her heart: "Because I think that the way you, Miss Manjushage, defended yourself outside the banquet hall was very handsome and you are someone worthy of trust."
