The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 468: Chapter 18 Helen, No! (4.7k)_2

However, before he could start studying, a soft knock came from outside the door.

As the door opened, the shapely Helen was standing quietly in the dim hallway, carefully handing over an exquisitely hidden snack box from behind her.

“About the earlier matter, my brothers and I haven’t had the chance to formally thank you, so I specifically made some snacks tonight, hoping you would try them.”

Despite her words, judging by the blonde beauty’s sneaky actions just now, the freshly changed white dress, and the scent of roses lingering on her skin after her bath… all these signs led Luo En to guess that this box of snacks had little to do with the reckless Twins; it was purely Helen’s personal gesture.

Though he knew it was trouble, seeing the hopeful little face of the blonde beauty, Luo En reluctantly nodded.

“It just so happens I haven’t slept yet, come in.”

At his words, Helen’s face lit up with a radiant smile, and she quickly entered the room, opened the snack box, and placed several freshly made dishes on the table to invite her lifesaver to taste them.

She herself sat opposite Luo En after he took his seat, propping her chin up and staring intently at her rescuer.

The undisguised curiosity and a tinge of palpable fervor in her bright eyes made Luo En feel rather uneasy.

Emotional expressions in the Divine Era were often unrestrained and passionate.

Based on Luo En’s experience from years of being “a friend to women,” he judged that the Spartan Princess was likely taking a fancy to him.

Of course, this was merely a desire borne from physical attractiveness, an instinctive quest for beauty, far from anything like love.

Just like an old dark joke, a handsome hero’s daring rescue is met with a “damsel with nothing to repay, offering her body instead” scenario.

If he were too ugly, sorry, “I promise to serve as your beast in the next life” would be your storyline.@@novelbin@@

With excellent parental genes and the Divine Authority of Love from the Rose, Luo En’s appearance and charisma were indeed top-tier among male divinities.

Plus, having bravely stepped forward twice along the way, not only saving Helen herself but also pulling the Twins back from the brink of death, it was no surprise that this beauty-conscious Spartan Princess had fallen for him under the sway of such actions.

However, Luo En was somewhat indifferent to this proactive Greek beauty knocking on his door.

On one hand, she was not a sedate woman; years into her marriage, she had fallen for Paris, a visiting Prince from Troy, blindly believing his sweet nothings and eloping with him in pursuit of the so-called “love,” eventually triggering the Trojan War;

On the other hand, Luo En, though not exactly virtuous, wasn’t the type to fall for every woman he saw.

Moreover, with many beautiful, XP-compliant, distinctive goddesses around, why bother troubling himself with this lovestruck young lady?

Many beautiful things are better admired from afar, not necessarily plucked for one’s own vase.

Luo En responded with lukewarm courtesy and, after roughly tasting the snacks Helen brought, he prepared to get up and see her off.

Seeing this, Helen became anxious, quickly flushed her face, and stammered out.

“I, I think you are a really nice person, so…”

“Yes, thanks for the compliment.”

Luo En immediately interrupted Helen’s words, reminding her with a smile.

“If there’s nothing else, you should head back and sleep; I need to rest too.”

Hearing the dismissal, Helen stood dumbfounded, her youthful face full of astonishment and confusion.

As the Spartan Princess, she had been pampered from childhood, and with her stunning beauty, everyone around her was obedient to her.

Especially the opposite sex, who almost never turned down any of her requests.

But why was this man not only indifferent to her advances but seemingly intent on keeping his distance?

Unable to understand, Helen naturally asked.

“Are you avoiding me?”

“Yes, a bit.”

Luo En nodded, giving a frank response.

The girl grew even more bewildered.

“You don’t like me? Why? Is it because I’m not pretty enough?”

“This has nothing to do with whether you’re pretty or not, liking someone is a matter between two people.”

Luo En shook his head, patiently explaining.

“If that’s hard to understand, then consider it when you’re older; it’s too early for you now.”

“I’m not a child!”

Helen protested spiritedly, feeling quite indignant after repeated setbacks.

Looking at the girl who tried to maintain her dignity yet looked barely more than a high schooler, Luo En was somewhat perplexed and finally spoke firmly.

“Alright then, tell me what liking someone means? What really is love? If you had to marry someone you don’t love, what would you choose?”

“…”

Faced with these rapid-fire questions, Helen paused, her face full of perplexity.

Liking is just liking, isn’t it? Why so many questions?

Unable to answer, the confused Spartan Princess was gently pushed out of the room.

“When you figure out these questions, come find me then.”

The man at the door finished speaking and closed the door directly.

A chill wind swept through the hallway, and Spartan Princess Helen, in her thin dress, couldn’t help but shiver from the night’s cold as she crossed her arms over her chest.

But compared to the cold attacking her body, the cold treatment that just struck her soul was far more powerful.

Now, she even started to doubt her own allure.
