Intergalactic Era of GossipCh67 - [A world based on appearances] Once photoshopping became a collective event.

Not happy?

What did that mean? SGbghV

Who’s making our Admiral unhappy!

“Could it be that he’s using some underhanded trick to threaten the Admiral?”

Although the Honored Prince Charvey refused to appear in public to the media, he had a certain reputation in the Imperial Capital–high ranking nobility, an arrogant temper, and not someone easy to get along with.

Sounded like a not very likable existence. GsHK1E

Even with the special image of his back view, under the two heavy crimes of being ‘a traitor to the nation’ and ‘the Admiral’s rival’, the public opinion of Nalun wasn’t very nice.

Some of the people who attended the trial were also veteran internet addicts; they also had the same opinion once in the past. However, now……

“The Admiral found someone.”

This one stone stirred up a thousand ripples.

vxkK4J

As soon as these words came out, it received countless attacks from the netizens. How could that be?! Not long ago, the Admiral had just announced that he had no intentions of finding a partner!

“Then a few days later, the one night stand scandal occurred and he said he found an object of affection.” Someone mercilessly threw out the face-slapping evidence.

“…..”

“That… uh.. might have been a mishap.” ispml0

After a while, someone else guessed.

“Could it be that the Admiral found his one night stand? The two of them are together now?”

Or else why would they say the Admiral found someone?

“One night stand? Nonexistent. This must be a lie!” pQf0Tg

“That’s right. We’re all adults here. Who would search for someone you accidentally climbed into bed with, with such fanfare.”

“This matter is filled with issues all over the place. I also feel like there’s something fishy going on.”

The topic of the conversation swiftly turned to discussing the one night stand.

Many people felt the possibility of ‘love at first fck’ was very low. Even if this person really did exist, the Admiral was only speaking with them out of a sense of responsibility and compensation. Or digging a little deeper, this was most likely a pretense. From a certain deeper consideration, this might be the step of some mysterious plan. oF07My

Hearing this, the ‘Old Aunty’ became displeased.

“Forget that. One night stand? Who cares about them.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

With a flash of inspiration, this insider used the same words as the Honored Prince.

“Who could be certain that the Admiral’s one night stand wasn’t to conceal the disappearance of the Scepter, which happened on the same day?” HGBz7p

“……” All of the individuals, whose thoughts had gone astray, froze. Even if it were a pretense, it can’t be a pretense for that! How could the Admiral be a suspect for stealing the Scepter? If you must know, the person who subdued the Metal Devouring Bug and retrieved the Scepter in the end was the Admiral!

This was slander!

The crowd all rolled up their sleeves and prepared to curse out the oddity, who dared to suspect their idol, into another galaxy.

“Wait, I’m only repeating the Honored Prince’s accusation in the courtroom.” jrXiLP

Huh?

The Honored Prince’s accusation in the courtroom?

“No need to get mad. The Admiral himself is a glutton for hardship. Haha.” p0scSa

Hah?

A glutton for hardship?

Oh damn, what kind of situation was this?! ad23wx

The vast crowd realized something didn’t seem right. They all expressed dissatisfaction towards this snail-pace style of sharing the gossip and ardently requested the other to speak directly, stop keeping people in suspense!

“The Admiral publicly testified for the Honored Prince. The witness for all of the Honored Prince’s alibis was the Admiral.” The insider seemed to have felt this was already set up pretty well and swiftly unveiled the entire story.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“On the days of the incidents, one time the two of them were eating together and giving gifts on Langdon street; once they had accompanied each other to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Crescent Moon Lake.”

“……” DGTB1

“……”

The galactic net… fell silent.

That day…… was a day of many accidents.

To the extent that the vast melon-eating crowd almost lost themselves in the numerous mysteries. Mnjieq

However, there was only one question that ultimately distinguished itself from the masses: Just what happened between the Admiral and the Honored Prince?

Was it really like what this Old Insider Aunty had said…… The Admiral… found, found someone?

Nalun: “……”

He was just browsing online casually. Why was he seeing such an eccentric rumor? gzInhX

Sirius and him?

This young Charvey displayed a heavy face of contemplation that was exactly the same as Charvey Sr., looking extremely serious and solemn.

Although he really was together with Sirius all of those times, but…… that was only an extremely ordinary meal. Going to Crescent Moon Lake was also only purely to enjoy the scenery!

How come when these people spoke about it, they became that kind of relationship? ru6Di2

Watching as the discussion became more and more unspeakable, Nalun decided to roll up his sleeves and step into battle personally.

“I’m someone from the Imperial Capital. I can take responsibility and tell you guys that those are all rumors! Fake! Sirius and Nalun have always been sworn rivals before this. Langdon Street and Crescent Moon Lake are merely coincidences.”

His comments were sonorous and powerful. However, they were quickly drowned out under the frenzy of the discussion.

Only the ‘insider’, who was accused of lying, gave a powerful response not long afterwards: “You know Langdon Street? Then you must have gone to the courtroom as well, right? I can empathize with you over the shock of your idol finding someone. Nevertheless, you have to be more open minded. Nalun Charvey is a rarely seen male beauty with noble bloodlines and virtuous character. To be honest, the Admiral has long reached the age of marriage. If he really needed to be together with someone, I’m very satisfied with the Honored Prince.” PrjYdl

Nalun fell silent for a while.

–Although your praises were very on point, I still need to refute you.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“From start to finish, they never said they were together. Sometimes rumors originate from excessive fantasies.”

“Have you dated before?” aSx5Be

Nalun’s face darkened: “What does this have anything to do with dating?”

“Because silence speaks louder than words.”

Nalun pondered for a moment: “You mean it’s intuition?”

“No, I’m saying it’s in the way they looked at each other.” UKfJNI

Nalun blinked his eyes: “Very normally?”

“Filled with love.”

Nalun: “……”

He looked back on the chat history. He discovered that the other person’s comments always lacked logical connection with the previous comment. Yet they still sounded so justified and with such conviction. The Honored Prince, who was well versed in ‘the art of dispute’, felt a bit angry. Because how matter how powerful your arguments were, when encountering this kind of annoying, difficult person, you can’t talk reason into them. WFSnyG

What dating, eye expression, love. Make it simpler and discuss the matter at hand, alright?

Twisting words and forcing logic! Unreasonable and ridiculous!

“Ah, I almost drowned in the Admiral’s eyes.”

During Nalun’s moment of frustration, the other started a new topic. This time, it was even more outrageous, completely diverging from the original topic. EHVWoF

Nalun sneered: “Unfortunately, he wasn’t looking at you.”

The other didn’t care: “It wasn’t you either.”

Nalun gave a cold smile– But it is me.

He didn’t send these four words. BJX2g

The majestic Honored Prince wouldn’t go so far as to expose himself in front of others just because of a few unrestrained words. Not to mention– Even if this person was unreasonable, words poor and completely illogical, they were only one of Sirius’s sad, tragic worshipers in the end.

Sirius wouldn’t have any interactions with them, or the rest.

Distance always increases people’s ability to fantasize a connection.

This secret knowledge already satisfied him. Nalun decided to stop arguing. If you must know, even though he had perfected the art of dispute, he didn’t want to waste it online– The active online gossip was an existence that even the eloquent didn’t dare to underestimate. zp Njd

Wild gossip and scandals like this… most likely will vanish after the second day, right?

This was how Nalun comforted himself. He exited the page, fingers unconsciously tapping on the armrest. Contemplating for a moment, he started mumbling to himself.

“There’s nothing wrong with the look in his eyes?”

What he didn’t know was that his confrontation with the other person, caused a group of lightly concealed eavesdroppers to explode. Furthermore, most of these people didn’t support the opinion of ‘the person involved’. They all stood one-sidedly on the opposite side of him. Sqgy21

“I went to the scene. They match very well!” Exclamation marks always have an amazing ability to infect others.

“The Admiral even raised his hand and displayed the wristwatch that the Honored Prince gave him. I can’t believe my male god actually has such a cute side!”

“I have never seen anyone with such a silver tongue. However, the Honored Prince truly has a very nice voice. I’m willing to listen forever.”

“The Admiral’s eyes were practically glued to the Honored Prince. However, the Honored Prince seems a bit cold and detached.” dbyoqQ

“Not merely cold and detached. He even deviously tried to drag the Admiral underwater hahaha.”

“……I can’t understand the gossip group that knows the truth. I knew you guys in the past. Weren’t you all the Admiral’s devoted admirers? Someone tries to drag the Admiral underwater and you guys are still hahaha-ing?”

“Because it’s really hahaha!”

“……” RDBpgz

“Ai, after seeing the Admiral’s tolerating expression, I feel like I can only hahaha.”

“……”

“Even when my baobei is being naughty, he’s still so good looking. The Admiral thought to himself.”

“Wait. Is the Honored Prince good looking?” TEkz1

The gossip group reacted swiftly and bumped this question up.

“When I saw the Honored Prince himself, I finally understood the truth to why people of the Imperial Capital would spread the rumor that the Admiral and the Honored Prince were arch-rivals equal in strength!”

“That’s right. Good looking, really very good looking.”

“Ahhhhh I’m a pure appearance fan. Right now, I’ve already switched to the Honored Prince’s side. From now on, the Admiral has changed from my idol to my idol’s husband!” swUfkL

“……”

Sure enough, this was a world based on appearances.

Someone became unhappy: “What’s the point of having a good looking face? Is the Admiral that superficial?”

“That’s right. That’s right. They’ve already worked together for so many years, but there was no sign of the Admiral liking him.” wIlA43

“Shouldn’t moral character be more important than face in comparison?”

“Image.jpg”

Oh fck.

Some unknown bored person released a picture of the Honored Prince’s back view from the Onsen clubhouse. This time, they also photoshopped a certain back view of the Admiral in uniform to stand right next to him. Then, they matched this with a row of rainbow colored words: “Even their back views look tooth achingly well matched.” qVdBpg

“Uh…… The image is pretty good. Can the words be switched?”

“Looking at it like this, they really do seem very well fitted. Image2.jpg”

The image of the two people’s back views was inserted into a wedding scene.

“Image3.jpg” Xgc07l

……

Once photoshopping became a collective event, the spectacle started getting out of hand.

Even Princess Shasha became bothered by this disturbance.

First, she received numerous strange pictures of back views. Then she was asked: That one is your beloved Admiral. Who is the other person then? j3maSo

The Princess smiled nastily.

“Who came up with this childish topic? I can tell immediately it’s that Nalun guy!”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Some people started to act dumb, expressing they didn’t know who Nalun was. In addition, they pretended to incidentally express curiosity towards the owner’s face, hoping that the beautiful and cute Princess Shasha could help resolve the mystery.

“Nope.” G25YSN

The Princess refused very directly, without any hesitation.

Nalun didn’t like to reveal himself in public. This wasn’t a secret in their social circle. However, the Princess clearly wasn’t even considering this. Although she was very angry and indignant, she had no choice but to admit: Nalun really did have a very outstanding countenance. If exposed, not only would it not harm him, it might even result in something she didn’t like.

Upon seeing this, the crowd that was feigning ignorance all turned hostile once again, extremely merciless.

The Princess: “……” What’s going on with the netizens lately? Why so temperamental and moody! Flipping face without any warning at all! uVWEdL

Translator's Note

The phrase here is actually ‘stopped being single’ aka ‘officially dating someone’, but I don’t think there’s an English equivalence?

Aka happy to receive this treatment.
