Chapter 199 A Stranger

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Ke Nuo knew that there was a banquet tonight and someone would take her there, but she didn’t know why none accompanied her as she walked.

The sky was dark and Ke Nuo was a little scared. She kept calling the name of the palace maid.

Furthermore, she had never gone this way. It was so quiet that she could hear her own breathing. Ke Nuo started to panic with a growing fear, but no one responded to her.

“Brother, Brother…” Ke Nuo was very anxious and scared. ‘Where is my brother?’

Ke Nuo cowered in the corner, hugging herself tightly, trying to lighten her presence, burying her head and sobbing in a low voice.

“Brother, Brother…”

“Are you alright?” A clear voice came out from the darkness.

Ke Nuo raised her head and couldn’t see that person’s face clearly in the darkness, but she only knew that his voice was very pleasant, just like her brother’s.

The man squatted down. “Are you lost?”

When she heard that, Ke Nuo started to cry again. “I… I’m…I’m lost.”

The man chuckled and Ke Nuo felt a little embarrassed.

“Don’t be afraid. Where are you going? I’ll take you there.”

Ke Nuo’s vigilant eyes alighted on this person. Even if she couldn’t see his figure clearly, she was still worried.

The man said softly, “You are already lost. It would be very easy for me if I want to do anything to you, right? So there is no need for you to be worried.”

Ke Nuo felt that this person’s words were really reasonable. She was already lost.

Ke Nuo thought it over and decided to believe him. After crying, her throat was a little dry. “I want to look for my brother.”

“What’s your brother’s name?”

Ke Nuo replied, “My brother is Ke Ruan.”

Ke Nuo didn’t notice that the man’s bright eyes darkened after he heard the name. Ke Nuo was a little worried without his reply, “Can you take me to look for my brother? If you take me back, my brother will give you a lot of things.”

The girl’s innocent voice came over to his ears.

The man chuckled. Ke Ruan had really protected his sister well. At this age, she was still like a child, forever keeping innocent and cute.

“Don’t laugh at me. Take my word for it,” Ke Nuo thought he didn’t believe her words and quickly explained, “What I say is ture. My brother is very good.”

“Got it, I’ll take you there.”

Ke Nuo smiled and stood up. “Let’s go now.”

“Do you know where your brother is?”

Ke Nuo thought for a moment and said, “The palace maid said that there is a banquet today and she would take me to look for my brother, but I don’t know where she has gone. Can you take me to the banquet?”

The man said, “But the banquet is over.”

“Ah?” It was not difficult to catch the disappointment in Ke Nuo’s voice, but she quickly changed her mood. “Then take me to Ruanhan Palace. If the banquet is over, my brother will definitely go back there.”

‘Ruanhan Palace…but Si Yuhan is there now, how could I go there? It’s not the right time now to meet him.’

The man asked, “It’s already late. Your brother and Si Yuhan must have rested. Do you still want to go there?”

‘Si Yuhan!’

When he mentioned Si Yuhan, Ke Nuo still felt scared. Si Yuhan’s eyes were too scary, especially when she was pestering her brother, Si Yuhan looked so horrible as if he wanted to eat her.

She hurriedly shook her head. “No, no. I don’t want to disturb my brother. Take me back to my palace.”

“Okay,” the man responded in a whisper.
