Chapter 26: Little Jealous Jar
“For your sake, Fred and Enzo would rather endure the pain of estrus and breakdown than submit to the Princess, let alone the law. They won’t care about it at all…”
For her sake?
Su Miantang was hearing this phrase from her mouth for the second time.
“Countess Joy, I think you have misunderstood something. Colonel Fred and Major Enzo refusing the marriage with the Princess isn’t because of me.”
“Not because of you? Then because of what?”
“Before I appeared, did the Princess make marriage requests to the officers? Did they agree?”
“…”
Countess Joy was speechless.
N-No.
Su Miantang: “Then do you know the reason?”
Countess Joy shook her head.
She couldn’t understand it at all. How could Fred and Enzo refuse the attraction of a female of the same grade, especially a Princess with such high status?
“I looked through some books regarding the Empire’s national conditions and found that in many noble marriages, the female requires the male to give up his job and stay at home to assist the wife and raise children. Especially the royal family; to display power and status, they aren’t even allowed to show their faces in public. So, I guess the reason the two officers didn’t agree to this marriage is that they didn’t want to give up their dreams of being soldiers.”
Countess Joy: “…” Becoming soldiers and fighting for the country had indeed always been her sons’ dream, but she thought the influence of pheromones on them was far greater than that.
Su Miantang saw through her thoughts.
“Do you not know that your sons are two soldiers with lofty aspirations and tenacious willpower? Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so outstanding and have such achievements at such a young age.”
After listening, Countess Joy was filled with shame, unable to even lift her head.
She had raised her sons for so many years, yet she didn’t understand them as well as someone they had just met.
“H-How do you know this? Did they tell you?”
“No, because like them, I also have a dream I’m willing to give everything for.”
Countess Joy looked at the medical box in her hand, remembering what she said earlier.
Was she really a researcher at the Imperial National Academy of Sciences? Such a young age, a female identity, and having developed a miraculous new suppressant—she was indeed extraordinary.
“Then… what should they do? With such stubborn tempers, they won’t really go to jail, will they?”
Su Miantang fell silent. “There are still a few days before the court session. You take care of them first and ensure they pass the estrus period safely. I will think of a way for the rest.”
Think of a way?
Could there be any way?
“Okay.”
Night fell before Su Miantang returned to the Jiuqing Villa area.
As soon as she opened the door, she found that the little tiger was awake. Like a “waiting-for-husband stone,” it sat at the door with a resentful expression, waiting quietly. Upon seeing her, it immediately pounced into her arms excitedly.
Master, Master, where did you go? Why didn’t you stay by Lanlan’s side? Why did you come back so late?
“Oof~”
Every time it woke up now, its body size was a circle larger than before. It was almost catching up to half a human size.
Su Miantang found it a bit of a struggle to hold him, especially today, after being exhausted by Fred and Enzo.
“You’re awake? Didn’t I tell you the bottle is in the incubator? If I go out or have an emergency, go get it yourself.”
She rubbed its head. Just as she was about to pull it off, she saw Lanlan lying on her body suspiciously as if discovering enemy intelligence, sniffing desperately. This is… the smell of other males!
And not just one, but two!
An eagle and a wolf!
Aaaaaah!
There were always reckless things coveting its Master!
It wished it could swallow them whole!
“Wah! Wah wah wah—”
Su Miantang saw it suddenly shaking its head and roaring, going crazy, as if saying: Master, where did you go to fool around? Explain it to me clearly!
Little guy, quite a keen sense of smell.
“Alright, stop fussing. I’m very tired today.”
No!
The little tiger was relentless.
Seeing she was about to lose control of it, Su Miantang cupped its head and lowered hers to plant a kiss right on the center of the character ‘King’ (王) on its forehead.
Lanlan’s tiger body shook instantly.
M-Master is kissing it?
Immense happiness enveloped it unexpectedly.
It raised its head, uncontrollably closing its eyes, its eyelashes trembling nervously just like its heart.
“Good enough now? Little jealous jar? They are my life savers.”
Oh…
After being kissed, the little tiger was still shy for a long time. It wandered around, pretending to be very busy. When she fell asleep on the sofa, it leapt over, carrying a blanket in its mouth to cover her.
Life savers?
Just like Master saved it?
Then fine.
However, it could cover up all their scents.
It sat beside the sofa, looking at the girl’s magnificent and beautiful face, licked its mouth, and began its favorite project.
The next day, Su Miantang rested up and started thinking about how to help Fred and Enzo get through their difficulty.
Although she didn’t understand the law, she understood experiments. In the laboratory, no matter how potent a reagent was, there would be a component to counteract it. So, to get rid of the marriage with the Princess, she also had to find a method within the marriage law.
However, she looked through almost the entire Imperial Marriage Law and found not a single useful article. All the clauses supported the Princess’s actions, especially the derivative “100 Articles of Female Privilege.” Discouraged, she shifted her gaze to the thick book at the very bottom—“The Imperial Constitution.”
The Constitution was the fundamental law of the country, protecting the most basic rights and obligations of citizens. Since its inception, there was an iron rule: when any derivative laws conflicted with the Constitution, the Constitution must be followed.
Holding onto the last shred of hope, she opened it and actually found something useful!
Article 1790: For females with no parents, no blood relations, and no existing relatives, they may apply to the Female Protection Agency for housing, aircraft, living expenses, etc., to guarantee their livelihood.
In addition, a special note with an asterisk (*) in the parentheses stated: For orphaned females under 25, they may also apply to the government for male sponsorship to become Guardians. To avoid conflict between this clause and the principle of loyalty in the Marriage Law, the selected males may refuse marriage requests from other females during this period!
Great!
She had never been so glad for her status as an orphan in the Central Empire.
There were still three days before court. Applying now was completely timely. But… asking Fred and Enzo to be her Guardians should require some indication, right?
Mountain View – Earl’s Estate.
Fred and Enzo, who had slept for a day and a night, finally woke up.
They thought that after being induced into estrus by the Princess, they would go mad and collapse, reduced to beasts. But now, their bodies not only felt no discomfort but were lighter and stronger than before. They even… had a supreme dream.
In the dream, when they had mentally collapsed, turned into beasts, and began self-harming in pain, Tangtang came.
She descended into the darkness like an angel, comforting them, petting them, hugging them, and even injecting them with a massive amount of cool, sweet pheromones, healing all their pain and making them tremble with pleasure, almost flying.
So much so that upon waking, their first thought was: Miss Tangtang, find Tangtang, hug Tangtang.
