Chapter 162: Identity Exposed
This feeling...
Princess Celia's chest was panting heavily, her legs were a little weak, and she had some strange feelings.
Oops!
Covering her chest, Celia's expression changed. She knew that she had exposed a lot of things in the moment, but...
She glanced at Li Ke who let go of her nonchalantly, and while she was reluctant to let her hand go from Li Ke's neck, she subconsciously stroked his firm chest muscles.
This was something her ex-husband didn't have.
Yes.
Former husband.
Looking at her husband who had become a pretender, Celia just wanted to sigh.
The other party was indeed a qualified aristocratic husband. While supporting his lover outside, he also seemed to be trying hard to maintain the harmony of their marriage.
But unfortunately, he is too weak.
He is physically weak, has weak means, and even has a weak ability to attract girls.
And there is no strong will.
I always give up halfway and never succeed in anything.
Even after they got married until now, they still don't have any children.
But when she saw the other person turning into an alien, she still felt a little melancholy.
After all, they are husband and wife.
However……
"Celia! My Celia!!"
The prince consort, whose head and face were split into pieces like a sunflower, saw Celia's hand on Li Ke's arm. The next moment, a long sharp thorn shot out from his big mouth that was like an anemone, and flew straight to Celia's face.
However, Celia had no intention of avoiding the question. She looked directly into her husband's eyes and finally understood why it was said that once a person becomes a pretender, he is no longer a human being.
“Really…”
Li Ke stretched out his hand and grasped the sharp thorn. The thorn that could penetrate steel was easily grasped by him. The process was not much more difficult than grasping a floating dandelion.
The poison attached to the spikes continuously emitted white smoke on the skin of his palms, but it couldn't even break through his skin.
"Why do I feel like I'm a bad guy?"
He had an inexplicable feeling.
"Lock him up and send him to his father. Tell him that he almost killed me... but the friendship between our two families still exists, if he is willing. Also, check my husband's guard team, as there may be imposters among them."
Celia ignored Li Ke's sigh and looked at her maid who was running towards her in a hurry, and the backup guards behind her.
She has a professional team of security guards, and so does her husband.
Seeing that she ignored his thoughts, Li Ke was happy to be free and turned around to leave.
However, as soon as he turned around, he heard the woman's voice.
"Be mine, Mr. Li Ke."
"?"
Li Ke ignored her and walked away.
But the woman simply grabbed his arm, lowered her head, and looked like she was about to cry.
"Just think of it as comforting me, how about that?"
“…”
Why do I feel like I'm being entangled by a troublesome woman?
Li Ke directly opened Celia's hand. He was not used to dealing with such a woman. He left without saying a word , leaving Celia with only his back.
"What a heartless man."
Celia moved her wrist to stop the servants who wanted to express their dissatisfaction with their loyal guards to Li Ke, then turned around and looked at Grand Duke Violet who had hurried over.
Next, it’s time for dirty nobility.
Without me, the pretender, things became simple. The entire castle was placed under martial law and a large-scale search began.
And as expected, some contraband containing the blood curse were found in the room of the prince consort, and these contraband made Celia look very unhappy.
She had always thought that her husband's poor health was congenital, but now it seemed that there were more than just congenital reasons.
Fortunately, her husband never dared to show it in front of her.
But this incident also shocked Grand Duke Violet.
Although he was a grand duke and did work under the emperor, his influence could not be compared with some powerful nobles in the country. Even some earls had more power than him.
So, Mr. Tenaris, who was frightened, sent out his army to impose martial law, and immediately sent a large number of people to Hedonmar and the mainland of the empire to invite priests to come to his territory to conduct an investigation.
As for Li Ke, who saved the princess, he treated him like a distinguished guest and admired him even more. If he didn't have other things to do, he would have held banquets every day.
But even so, he invited Li Ke to a small banquet every two days and a big banquet every three days, and there was no shortage of beauties and fine wine. He also constantly introduced people from his territory to Li Ke, and these people were either officials and military officers with real power, or presidents of large chambers of commerce. It can be said that this greatly increased Li Ke's...
Knowledge of scumbags.
So, during another banquet, while Mordred was speaking, Li Ke quietly walked to the empty courtyard, picked up a glass of wine and started drinking by himself.
To be honest, although he was said to leave quietly, with his body size, he couldn't leave quietly even if he wanted to, which caused Mordred on the stage to have an ugly expression for a moment.
Because no matter how warmly and enthusiastically the father and son entertained Li Ke, Li Ke always seemed unmoved and had no intention of responding at all.
This made him quite unhappy.
The same thing happened to Li Ke. The friendly faces of the father and son made him feel sick, but because his mother's health was still relatively weak in this life, he could only stay for a while longer.
"I really want to leave..."
Li Ke pulled at the collar and unbuttoned the dress that Grand Duke Hua had bought for him at great expense. Because of his huge body size in this life, he usually did not wear a shirt. He was not used to wearing such tight clothes suddenly.
But there is no way. The grace of giving birth does exist after all. He, Li Ke, is not the kind of person who is treacherous and cannot distinguish between right and wrong. He will not leave until the Grand Duchess's body has fully recovered to normal.
But this father and son were quite shameless. In order to keep the princess's savior longer and increase their time to recruit her, they specifically prevented her from meeting her mother in this life, for fear that she would completely cure her.
Every day was filled with parties and trips. Today, they even said it was Mordred's birthday and made a big fuss about it. He said he wanted to give the Grand Duchess treatment so that she could also appear, but was still rejected, saying that the Grand Duchess was not emotionally stable and he was afraid of offending the distinguished guest.
This despicable behavior really made Li Ke feel disgusted.
But if you don't want to reveal your identity, you can only bear with it for now.
Looking up at the stars, Li Ke let out a long sigh. If it weren't for his talent, this life simulation would probably have turned out differently, right?
Although I wouldn't have to hang out with monsters just because of their appearance, I don't think I would either...
Just as he was thinking , a soft sound of footsteps appeared. Li Ke turned his head and found that it was Finna who was wearing a light silk robe.
He was stunned for a moment, then he saw the woman bit her lip, then walked in front of him, her eyes flashed a few times, and then she reached out and touched his face.
Li Ke did not stop him, because he could see that walking up to him had exhausted all the courage of this woman. And as he expected, Finna opened her mouth for a long time, but could only ask one question.
"Child...you...who gave you this name?"
