When the protagonist of the otome game is unintentional strategy [system]

"You can see that I don't like Wang Cheng anymore."

The black-haired girl smiled slightly, even though her complexion was full of childish beauty, but her eyes were extremely tired, like a bunch of field cornflowers that were forced to bend over after being hit by wind and frost, making everyone passing by I couldn't help but sigh with regret, or hold her in my arms with distress.

Kolusta's fingertips trembled slightly.

She looked at Le Kesi hesitantly, pursed her lips, and in the end still restrained herself from making any movements for the time being.

But Le Kesi didn't notice her expression. The young girl whose identity was unknown was immersed in her own thoughts and sighed quite maturely.She lowered her eyes, and carelessly arranged her dress, which looked simple but was actually made of expensive materials, and said in an indifferent tone like a bystander:

"Wangcheng is like the center of an ocean vortex. It seems to be the calmest point, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging around it, which does not stop for a moment-if you are not careful, you will be involved in it and be torn to pieces. There is no room for half a point to make mistakes."

"Everyone who lives in it must keep their nerves tight at all times. No matter what their identity or age, as long as they are in the royal city, they will definitely become chess pieces used by the chess players." Le Kesi lowered her head , looking at the fine gray stones next to his short boots, paused, and continued, "No one can really control their own destiny, even if they are marionettes, because they can't see even a little bit of light in the unknown road ahead. , and exhausted to the point of physical and mental exhaustion.”

In Nobili, where the royal family and nobles stand side by side, even His Majesty the King may not be able to say with certainty that he will not become a chess piece that a certain big noble can play around at will.

Even if the highest authority is like this, what about the family of the First Duke who is completely controlled by the Goddess of Deceit?

What I want to pursue... maybe, there is no hope in this life.

Le Kesi was thinking about it, immersed in her own thoughts, but suddenly felt a pair of thin and soft arms resting on her shoulders.

A sweet and sweet figure got into her arms, and the cheeks still with a little baby fat were pressed intimately in front of her collarbone, just like the kitten before, well-behaved, cute, even subconsciously unconscious Gently rubbed.

The black-haired girl looked at the little girl who suddenly hugged her in surprise, and she didn't know where her frustration was lost.Ever since she could remember, she had never been in such close contact with anyone. She immediately blushed, but put her finger on the other's shoulder, and while hesitating whether to push or not, she called out in a hurried voice: "Ruth -"

Kolusta raised her head with a smile, and looked at her with a pair of shining golden eyes, which made Le Kesi's heart skip a beat.

"You are a bit like my mother, Le Kesi." Under the dazed stare of the girl in front of her, the brown-haired girl bent her eyes, spoke in a clear voice like a yellow warbler, and sighed in detail, "She I also like the ocean like you, I like free kittens, and I like a life without being restrained by anyone... For her and you, doing what you want to do is the most important goal in this life, right?"

"...I am not willing to be manipulated by others." Le Kesi said softly, "From this point of view, I am indeed very similar to Aunt Li Kana."

She lowered her head and looked quietly at the pair of pure golden eyes in front of her, which were full of water and radiance, like a shallow stream of honey.

I heard... Likanarias Amirim, who gave up her honorable status and favorable conditions, resolutely cast off her glorious heir status, and came to this remote town to live a low-key life, also has Such beautiful eyes.

When she was in a daze and almost fell into the sweet stream, the girl in her arms suddenly blinked, her expression became slightly serious, and her tone was uncharacteristically, just like she said just now:

"——If you don't want to be manipulated by others and be a chess piece that can be played with by others at will, then try your best to get what you want and take your destiny into your own hands."

After the words fell, she smiled sweetly at the astonished Le Kesi again, as if the calmness just now was an illusion, her expression was pure and sincere, and her eyes were full of the figure of a black-haired girl.

Kolusta put her arms around each other, put her chin on Le Kesi's chest like a little doll, raised her cheeks, and said solemnly: "I used to play crab fighting games with my friends on the beach, but I was caught But the crab always stretches out its pincers to pinch our hands inadvertently, and then slips away quickly, no one can find it again... So I think, as long as I am strong enough, no matter what kind of person will be Manipulating life—it's all temporary."

Le Kesi fell silent, and looked at the brown-haired girl quietly.

She never thought that a commoner child who had never experienced power struggles would be able to say such words worth chewing without changing his face.

The bloodline inheritance is really interesting... Maybe Li Kana can't imagine that her daughter can master those crucial "Noble Survival Rules" without a teacher.

However, Kolusta didn't realize the depth of her words, she was still concentrating on comforting her partner who had stabilized a bit.

She put her fingertips on the back of Le Kesi's neck, gently rubbed her soft long hair, then immediately bent her knuckles as if guilty, and said seriously: "So, Miss Le Kesi, please Be sure to work hard to become stronger!"

"Because, only when you become truly strong can you and everyone you want to protect be truly free."

These two sentences seem to have some magical power, which can easily infect one's heart.Le Kesi opened her eyes slightly, her dark blue pupils were full of surprise and clarity, like a handful of clear sea water, shining a little bit of luster in the sun.

After a long time, the black-haired girl showed a smile, her eyelids were half-drawn, and her expression was soft, but the smile seemed to be awakened, with some inexplicable profundity and ambition faintly, making the already delicate face It became more vivid.

"you're right."

She said flatly, stretched out her hand, and really hugged this understanding little girl tightly in her arms.

"I will always work hard according to your expectations...neither to escape my origin, nor to be afraid of the upcoming future."

"——Dear Ruth, I hope that when I really break free from the 'shackles', you can give me a gentle hug as a congratulation like today, okay?"

Kolusta closed her eyes, relaxed, leaned firmly on her shoulder, and said softly, "Okay, it will."

……

The hut of Maiti’s house is just opposite to Breviu’s house. It is located on the edge of a large golden sandy beach at the westernmost end of West Side Town. It has a red roof and brown walls, stone brick and wooden doors, and the windows are surrounded by large expanses of lush plants. shade.

The side of the house faces the sea, and the garden is spacious. Some of the green plants are rooted in the soil on the east side, while the other part of flowers in various forms are gently swaying in the sand grains on the west side.Because it is too close to the ocean, people living in this house can hear the low and rhythmic beat of the waves even if they stay in the house.

Although the popularity of the beach rose has gradually cooled down with the passage of time, Kvitt still hasn't visited Kolusta for a few days.

Because her mother said that Breviu's house was entertaining very important guests recently, and Kolusta might not be able to spare time to climb trees and fish with him.

Kvitt could only sigh inwardly that he was unlucky—either he was busy or Ruth was busy during this time, and it had been a long time since the two had had a good time together.

However, in the warm town of Westside, everyone will recognize that "customers are the most important", so Kvitt did not run to the wooden house on the east side ignorantly and shout "Sisters go to play in the water", but treated them obediently. At home, she began to secretly plan a carefully prepared reunion gift for Xiao Qingmei.

——Although their parting time is less than a week, there is still a sense of ritual in life.

Why don't you... draw a picture of her?

Ruth's mother's painter may be hard to find in the whole kingdom... As for her own stickman fighting, she certainly won't like it.

Or... send her a bouquet of flowers?

No, no, the last time I went to the seafood market to compare the bargaining levels, I just lost to her the biggest beach rose.If it is the same type of gift, it will be completely useless if you give it again.

Well, if that's the case, let's just make her a manual, it should be fine.

Kwitt-Mati neither inherited his father's shrewdness as a businessman, nor his mother's superb gardening talent, but before awakening the wood magic, his most outstanding talent was the pair of "touch stones into gold" "Skillful hands.

As small as the dense and tight fence in his own garden, as large as the gorgeous sandcastle on the beach, Kowett has a calm and firm personality, and he believes that things must be perfect, but all handmade works from him can basically be called The above is a rather delicate "handicraft".

Because of this, the father who went out to run a business accidentally sold his works in goods, and often sold them at an unexpectedly high price.

Ever since he made up his mind to "give Ruth a reunion gift", Kvitt picked up a large pile of clean, intact and brightly colored shells from the coast, and buried himself in tinkering at home every day, forgetting to sleep and eat until he lost weight.Mrs. McGrady really didn't know what to do with her stubborn son, so she could only order a big bag of crabs from Old Lake in advance, trying to save Kvitt's sallow face that had become increasingly sallow in recent days.

But today... Even if the bag of crabs hasn't been put into the pot, he is destined to be unable to study his gift non-stop.
