<h4>Chapter 684 Please be gentle with my daughter</h4>


    It seemed that the people fromst night had spread what they had seen as rumours and those rumours had already spread all over the castle.


    The men looked at me and looked back at themselves as if they wereparing something. After looking at me for a bit, most of them turned away as if they were embarrassed.


    There were only a few of them that still looked at me after seeminglyparing us in their heads.


    The women looked at me with intrigued looks, but a few of them also turned away with blushes on their faces.


    It was clear what all of them were thinking…


    I really didn''t know how to feel about this situation at first, but then I quickly sorted out my feelings.


    I really wanted to beat up those knights that had spread the rumours in the first ce!


    If it wasn''t for them, then I wouldn''t be treated by everyone like this!


    I really didn''t know why they had spread those rumours, but now that they did, it would be impossible for me to stop them. After all, this was without a doubt a spicy rumour and it was something that involved the future husband of the princess.


    So of course they would want to talk about this.


    I was certain that with how far it had already spread, it would only be a matter of time before it spread through the capital as well.


    This was definitely not what I wanted to be known by the world for…


    But what could I do?


    I was from the modern world, so I knew just what kind of power rumours had.


    It would be impossible for me to stop it.


    So I just started walking a bit faster to reach the king''s room as soon as possible.


    But if I wasn''t mistaken, it almost seemed like the maids and butlers were following me…


    It was as if I had been turned into an oddity by them for their everyday enjoyment.


    It was only when an important looking maid came that they were all sent away, though she also looked at my crotch with a strange look.


    I could only let out a sigh of relief when I reached the king''s study and went in to avoid the curious gazes that were cast in my direction. Or at least that was what I had thought would happen until I actually stepped into the king''s study.


    I found that the king, the fourth prince, and Ang were all already there waiting for me.


    As soon as I stepped in, their gazes all turned in my direction, but…


    They didn''t look at my face like one would expect and instead looked down at my lower half.


    They were all looking at the same ce as the others had done.


    Really?


    You too, your majesty?


    That was what I had wanted to say, but I held myself back in the end.


    But I really was surprised since I never thought that the king would be someone that followed rumours like this. I had thought that he would be someone that would be above things like that…


    After a moment of silence, the king gave a cough and waved at me toe over as he said, "Come,e, sit with us."


    I gave a nod before walking over and sitting down beside Ang.


    However, even after sitting down like this, they still looked at me with the same strange looks.


    I could only shake my head with a bitter smile on my face before saying, "Your majesty, did you need me for something today?"


    The king slowly looked up from my crotch and gave a nod before revealing an apologetic look, "I''m sorry about what happened yesterday, it was my negligence."


    I was caught off guard when I heard this since I never expected the king to apologize for that matter.


    I quickly shook my head and said, "Your majesty, there''s nothing for you to apologize for. I''m sure that no one expected that kind of incident to happen, so it wasn''t something that could be med on anyone. We can only treat this as an incident and shouldn''t think of this as something that would happen again."


    The king gave a nod, but he still said with a sigh, "In the end, this is my castle, so I have to take partial responsibility for it." After a pause, he said, "But I do want to tell you that I have taken your advice to heart and have settled for imprisonment for them. They will receive a life sentence for what they have done."


    This time, it was my turn to let out a sigh before I bowed my head to say, "Your majesty, thank you for your kindness."


    The king waved his hand as he said, "There''s no need for you to act like this towards me. You will be my future son inw and a part of our family, so you can just talk to me without formality when we''re alone like this."


    I was once again surprised to hear this, but seeing the look on the king''s face, I slowly gave a nod.


    I could understand how he was feeling after what had happened yesterday.


    In just a single day, he had lost all of those sons of his…I''m sure that it would be hard to fully understand how he felt as a father.


    The only thing that I could do was sympathize with him.


    But as I was thinking this, the king suddenly brought up another topic.


    He said in a slow and deliberate voice, "I''ve heard a certain rumour spreading through the castle recently about you."


    My lips twitched when I heard this, but I didn''t say anything as I waited to see where he would go with this.


    The king looked at Ang and then back to me with a look that almost seemed a bit awkward before saying, "If the rumours are true, I hope that after you get married, you will be gentle with my daughter."


    Blushes immediately appeared on both my face and Ang''s face when we heard this.
