Chapter 944: Eleven’s Wish
The original host’s name was Eleven. She was a nameless orphan. The reason she was called Eleven was because there were already people with the codenames One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, and Ten.
The people here didn’t have names, only codenames.
This base hidden deep in the mountains was the place where the current third prince trained death soldiers. The original host was a death soldier. She had been here ever since she started to remember things.
The training here was very cruel. Every single person crawled out from a mountain of corpses and blood. They honed their skills in preparation to meet death for the sake of their master, the third prince.
Eleven didn’t reject this lifestyle. She was an orphan from the start and the only life she had ever known was this one.
Eleven’s mission this time was actually pretty simple. She just had to protect a woman called Shangguan Qingrou.
This Shangguan Qingrou was the woman the third prince liked. Shangguan Qingrou was the daughter of the Director of the Board of Rites. She was very pretty, cute, and direct; very different from normal girls of noble families.
In reality, this Shangguan Qingrou was a transmigrate. She knew the Gangnam style horse-riding dance and how to sing the ‘You are my little, dear little apple. However much I love you, it’s never too much’ song. These unique songs and dances were very interesting.
The third prince was the first to notice Shangguan Qingrou. He had a favorable impression of this unique woman. Meanwhile, Shangguan Qingrou wasn’t a person from the ancient era so she didn’t really care about the differences between men and women. After getting to know the third prince, Shangguan Qingrou started frequently dropping by the prince’s residence.
The two of them often went on scenic tours and things like that.
They were quite like a couple.
However, Shangguan Qingrou soon attracted the attention of the other princes. The third prince knew that the struggle for the throne would be very dangerous, so he wanted a female death soldier to protect Shangguan Qingrou.
Shangguan Qingrou maintained good relationships with all of these princes. It was beyond that of friendship but not quite lovers. Even the little princes in the palace liked playing with her. These little princes were at the age where they loved to play and Shangguan Qingrou always had rare and strange new things to play with.
The third prince really liked Shangguan Qingrou. He demanded that Shangguan Qingrou belonged completely to him, heart and body. He wanted to possess all of her.
However, Shangguan Qingrou had come from the modern era and was very independent. How could a person with more advanced ideologies tolerate a tyrannical request that stripped her of her freedom?
She had her own social circles and friends.
Shangguan Qingrou originally had a favorable impression of this noble and talented man, but she couldn’t take his tyrannical manner. In the end, she got married to the fifth prince.
The two were extremely in love. For Shangguan Qingrou, the fifth prince didn’t take any mistresses.
Meanwhile, when the third prince saw how happy the two were, he laughed coldly and just started targeting the fifth prince even more. He didn’t bother to be polite about attacking Shangguan Qingrou either.
Every time he was about to hurt Shangguan Qingrou, Shangguan Qingrou would be rescued by someone and the danger would turn into good fortune.
The third prince’s goal was precisely to ruin Shangguan Qingrou. I love you, so you must love me. If you don’t love me, then I’ll just kill you. Since I can’t obtain you, I’ll just destroy you. Then I can hug your corpse which will belong only to me.
In this struggle for the throne, the third prince was defeated and the fifth prince ascended to the throne. Shangguan Qingrou became empress, but the harem remained devoid of concubines.
The third prince was in the end, given poisoned wine by the fifth prince.
From then on, the emperor and empress lived happily ever after.
The original host’s wish: Don’t let her master die.
Eleven couldn’t understand it. Her master treated Shangguan Qingrou so well. He gave her everything and his only condition was that Shangguan Qingrou was loyal to him.
Shangguan Qingrou was very close to the other princes, but she kept saying that they were just friends.
In any case, Eleven felt that her master was really good but Shangguan Qingrou had said that her master didn’t understand love and only knew to snatch whatever he wanted.
Ning Shu sighed. See, this was what a loyal servant was like. While alive, she had been willing to risk life and limb for her master, and even after dying, she still offered up her soul to save her master.
How effective was the brainwashing? Ning Shu didn’t know if Eleven had feelings for the third prince or if it was just pure devotion.
But this task!?
Fudge, she was just a death soldier, how was she supposed to influence the battle between these large powers? How was she supposed to get involved in the replacement of a dynasty?
She didn’t even have the right to talk in front of the third prince. Her job was to lift her blade and rush forward as soon as the third prince gave a command.
Ning Shu: ...
#comment: Death soldiers basically refer to soldiers that are trained to be absolutely loyal and unafraid of dying.
