You Are The Apple of My Eyes -
Chapter 485 Beat Him Up
The next day, the sun shone through the white gauze curtains and slowly crept up Nina's rosy face.
With her eyelashes quivering slightly, Nina rubbed her eyes and then opened them. She stared blankly at the ceiling for a few seconds before she lifted the quilt and slid out of bed.
The fluffy carpet on the floor felt divine under her feet, and the cool morning breeze blew in from outside as the curtains automatically opened.
Even if the sun shone brightly, the crisp March spring cold still hung in the air. Nina trembled as it prickled her skin. She quickly changed her clothes, put on her slippers, washed her face, and went downstairs.
On her way to the dining room, her eyes darted to the servants. She found it strange that they were all wearing masks and keeping their heads down.
Nina knitted her brows in confusion and proceeded to the dining table. The breakfast had already been served, and Noah and Vicente were standing there with their backs to her.
"Good morning," Nina greeted with a smile, stretching her neck and shoulders.
Pulling out chairs for themselves and sitting down at the table, Noah and Vicente exchanged glances. What happened last night was still fresh in their memories.
"Good morning," Vicente replied.
"Good morning," Noah seconded.
The two of them actively avoided meeting Nina's gaze and just sat there quietly.
It seemed that Nina did not notice that her husband and friend were acting a little strange. "I must say I've had the most splendid sleep last night. I feel just great today." Then, she took a seat next to Noah.
The corners of Vicente's mouth twitched. She lowered her head and said, "Well, while you feel great, the others feel awful."
"What?" Nina asked in confusion.
Noah stopped Vicente immediately by loudly clearing his throat.
As soon as he coughed, his hand shot up to his swollen mouth. He winced at the pain.
Vicente closed her mouth and shook her head sympathetically.
It was then that Nina realized something was wrong. Following Vicente's stare, Nina turned her head and saw the wound on Noah's face. "Noah, what happened to you?" Nina looked at him nervously and reached out to touch him, but Noah raised his hand to stop her.
"It's nothing. I just fell accidentally last night." Noah tried hard to force a smile, which made his mouth ache even more.
Without even looking carefully at him, Nina knew that Noah was lying. Her face darkened. "What the hell is going on?"
"Nothing. Just let it go." Noah raised his hand and stroked Nina's hair with a doting look on his face. "I already told you. I fell by accident."
Vicente fiddled with her breakfast and then asked, "Don't you really remember what happened last night?"
"Last night?" Not for long, Nina realized that she might have done something horrible last night because she was drunk. She asked in surprise, "Noah, did I hit you? I remember drinking only one glass of wine. How could I have gotten drunk?"
"Yeah, I'm also curious. Last night, your brother patted his chest and promised that it took three glasses of wine for you to get drunk. But you got drunk after the first one." Thinking of the scene last night, Vicente felt surprised and scared at the same time. "You beat up everyone in the banquet hall last night."
"Really?" Nina blinked and looked at Noah apologetically. Noah just shook his head.
The gesture made Nina feel guiltier. "I'm so sorry, Noah."
Noah smiled at her again, completely ignoring the pain. "Don't worry about it. I just didn't expect you to be so powerful that even I couldn't restrain you."
"And you didn't fight her back." Vicente leaned back in her seat, pointed at the servants in the room, and sighed. "In fact, nobody dared to fight back. The slightly injured ones are here while the seriously injured ones are in the hospital."
Nina did not know what to say. She just lowered her head in embarrassment.
'Why do I turn into such a rage monster whenever I get drunk?
Also, I seem to be losing my health. I felt cold when the morning wind blew into my room this morning.
Is that a sequela of childbirth?'
"How many people did I hurt?" Nina looked at Vicente with a guilty conscience.
Thinking of the chaotic battle last night, Vicente could not help laughing. "More than ten of the servants were seriously injured and more than twenty were slightly injured. I have arranged everything for them including the medical fees and mental damage fees. Your brother also gave some money and said it was to make up for his wrong estimate last night."
"Good. Thank you." Nina smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
"I'm sure it's all fine. I just feel sorry for them, though. I never thought you're that good at beating the hell out of people," Vicente said with a look of adoration.
With an embarrassed look on her face, Nina suddenly realized that Vicente was the only person in the room who was unharmed. "You look all right yourself. Didn't I get to you?"
"No." Vicente shook her head. "You didn't want to attack me."
With disbelief twisting her pretty features, Nina cocked her head to the side and said, "You shouldn't have been an exception."
"Why not?" Vicente argued.
"It's just impossible." A figure flashed across Nina's mind, but it was gone before she could get a hold of it.
"Vicente ran away," Noah said softly.
Hearing this, Nina whipped her head toward Noah.
Vicente widened her eyes at Noah. She could not believe that he just rat her out like that. She ground her teeth and whispered, "Noah, can't you do me a favor?"
Noah ignored Vicente and continued, "If he takes part in a hundred-meter race, he should be able to win honor for her country."
"Wow. Can you really run that fast, Vicente?" It never occurred to Nina that Vicente, who stood about 1.7 meters, could run so fast. She had not seen her run before. Vicente could not help admitting, "I have long legs. It's not strange that I can run fast. Don't look at me like that, Nina. So I ran away from the action. Get over it." "Okay, okay." Nina smiled.
Vicente then raised her chin proudly. "If I hadn't run away, today's headlines would've said that you abused me, and your image as a member of the royal family would be ruined. You should be thanking me." "Fine. Thank you. Are you happy now?" After shoving two mouthfuls of breakfast into her mouth, Nina asked perfunctorily, "Are there any other survivors besides you?"
The question had already left her lips before she could ask herself why she wanted to ask it in the first place.
"Yes." Cali, who was standing next to her, answered her question.
Nina did not immediately realize that the servant standing next to her was Cali. She had a mask on, so she did not recognize her.
It turned out that she also hurt Cali.
"Cali? Is that you? Are you okay?" Nina looked at her apologetically.
"I'm fine, Your Highness. Don't worry." Cali smiled. "Besides the count, Sean is the only uninjured one."
"Sean?" She had heard that name from Cali many times. She did not feel anything about it before, but since seeing him yesterday, she had been having inexplicable feelings toward the man. "Yes," Cali said with admiration. "He's very powerful. You weren't able to bring him down, but what's amazing was that he didn't hurt you while he was protecting himself. He's really something else." "Don't be such a doe-eyed fan girl, Cali." Vicente glared at her.
Cali's heart jolted. She immediately lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry. I was wrong."
Nina asked the two of them in confusion, "Is this Sean really that strong?"
"Yes." Vicente nodded heavily. She really had a say in this. "Actually, you two can beat people up real good. You two... Well, you two are very powerful."
Vicente gave Nina a thumbs-up sign and breathed a sigh of relief. She almost spilled the beans just now.
Nina did not notice it because she was too busy wondering about Sean.
"I want to see him after breakfast."
"What? Are you going to go beat him up because you failed to last night?" Vicente exclaimed with great interest. "Well, there's no way I'm going to miss that fight." She had to broaden her horizon when it came to the couple fighting against each other.
