Bai Youwei squinted her eyes slightly.
As she approached, the man’s figure and features became increasingly clear.
Like a male character from a shoujo manga stepping into reality, tall and thin, with opulent golden hair, fair skin, curly lashes, and always affectionate blue pupils.
He was the Inspector from the friend’s gathering.
“Welcome to the ladies’ exclusive game,” the Inspector greeted with a smile, bending slightly in a gentleman’s bow. “I am the Inspector in this game and look forward to sharing a pleasant time with you.”
Nobody replied.
Only Bai Youwei responded noncommittally with a “huh”.
The Inspector’s gaze fell upon her face, his smile unchanged, “We meet again, miss. I am looking forward to your performance in the game.”
Bai Youwei replied expressionlessly, “Sure, women’s friend.”
The Inspector:
A hint of stiffness shadowed the smile at the corner of his mouth, only for it to seemingly vanish the next moment as if the previous stiffness was just an illusion.
“Well… please, follow me,” the Inspector turned and walked, maintaining grace and elegance, leading the women into the manor as magnificent as a castle.
“This game is for women only, as the name suggests, exclusively playable by women.”
The Inspector continued to explain as he walked.
“Presumably, you have noticed, our game theme is ‘The Last Bride’, and as you can see, you have all dressed in wedding gowns. From this moment, you are the seven brides who are marrying the Duke.”
“A Duke?” Yu Yaqing frowned.
“Yes, the noblest, richest, and most passionate Duke. When the sun sets, he will return. Prior to that, I, in the role of the butler, will stay here to provide you with necessary assistance for the game,” the Inspector bowed, “Now, please, follow me.”
Yu Yaqing cast a suspicious glance at him, paused for a moment, then continued to move forward.
The others followed suit.
They walked through the dining room, the front courtyard, and the patio surrounded by roses…
As they delved deeper into the manor, they began to feel the extreme opulence, everything within sight sparkled with gold. Even the handrails of chairs were made of gold, and every wall lamp was studded with jewels, dazzling to the extreme.
“The Duke possesses inexhaustible wealth but also harbors a cruel temperament. Anyone who angers him will pay with their life,” the Inspector paused at the entrance of a long corridor, turned to them, and said gently, “Even though you are a group of lovely brides, I must remind you not to anger the Duke.”
“Is this a hint for clearing the game?” Bai Youwei asked, keeping her eyes locked on his, “Don’t anger the Duke?”
Zhu Shu was also stirred, “So… if we infuriate him, we have to pay with our lives? Does this mean players who anger him may die, and whoever survives until the end can clear the game? So, is that why the game is called The Last Bride?”
Looking down at them condescendingly, the Inspector replied with an ambiguous smile:
“You can interpret it that way, or not.”
Indignant, Su Man complained, “What’s the meaning of this? Aren’t you going to clarify the rules of the game? Your vague explanations aren’t helping. Who can understand?!”
“Beautiful bride, please don’t be angry,” the Inspector smiled, “Every game has its rules. But in this game, the winning condition was already stated right from the start – become the last bride.”
Everyone’s faces changed color.
What did it mean to become the last bride?!
Did it infer being the last one standing?
Cheng Xi asked anxiously, “Does this mean…only one of us can survive?”
