Luck is a Charm

Chapter 275: White Tiger Kingdom’s Prince

Lena's pointy elf ear became a bit agitated when she began hearing a bunch of loud noises.

'Why is the noise suddenly so loud?' Lena wondered silently. 

The Peace Blossom Court was full of quietness so it was a new change for Lena to hear such noises.

"You can open your eyes now," Zen said sweetly into her ears.

Lena then opened her eyes slowly and her eyes became wide open when she saw the bustling streets.

"H-H-How?" Lena gasped as she was sure they weren't even close to the bustling streets.

"W-What did you do?" Lena asked as she stared deeply into his eyes.

Zen chuckled softly as he reminded her of something. "Hey Lena, your cleavage is in full view for my eyesight. Are you sure you're not trying to seduce me?"

Lena quickly pulled herself away from Zen as she stomped the ground angrily. 

"Are you always this frivolous?" she asked.

Zen shrugged his shoulders. 

"Why should we be so serious in life? We only live once and if we always worried about this and that, we might as well just suicide." Zen smiled cheekily as he patted her shoulders.

"It's a unique skill of mine, teleportation," he added.

"T-Teleportation skill?" Lena became dumbfounded as she looked at Zen like a madman. "I-Impossible teleportation skills are only possible by Advanced Mages but you're not even close to it."

And she continued, "Space-element magic is rare and unique. There's no way you can control space without having a talent for it."

Zen twitched his mouth. 

'Why doesn't anyone believe that I'm capable?' Zen sighed inwardly as he found it pointless to explain things further for her.

She would know in due time about his capability and why he managed to gain the affection of multiple women.

"Come, let's explore the streets and see if there's anything special." Zen smiled as he wrapped his hand around her waist.

Lena wanted to struggle and moved away from him until Zen warned her once again.

"If you don't want to create a commotion then it's best to act intimate with me. A lonely and beautiful elf wandering around the streets, aren't you just asking for a kidnap?" 

Lena stopped struggling as she unconsciously walked closer to Zen.

Clearly, she didn't doubt his words one bit as she knew exactly how treacherous human-being can be.

Of course, Zen wasn't an exception but at least she knew she could trust him more than the others.

Sometime later, Zen and Lena continued to spend their merry time along the bustling streets.

From food vendors to shopping, Zen and Lena continued to spend their day in joy. That was until the entrance of the Jade Kingdom began gathering a large commotion.

"What's happening at the entrance?" Zen pulled a nearby pedestrian as he questioned him.

The pedestrian remembered who Zen was and knew he was someone that could not be offended.

In a hurried tone, the pedestrian began explaining things to Zen. "T-The White Tiger Kingdom envoy is arriving today to the Jade Kingdom."

"Envoy?" Zen raised an eyebrow as he didn't believe a mere envoy could cause such a commotion. 

He had already seen multiple envoys from other Kingdoms arriving so there shouldn't be any commotion with the White Tiger Kingdom either.

The pedestrian seemed to notice Zen's thought as he glanced around the surroundings. 

Afterward, he whispered softly to Zen, "There was a rumor that a Prince from the White Tiger Kingdom had sneaked out ahead of time to fool around."

Zen nodded his head.

"Thanks for the information, you are permitted to leave now," Zen waved his hand to dismiss the pedestrian.

The pedestrian gladly dismissed himself as he just avoided a death god- one that doesn't give any face to the nobles.

Daemon Kaiso's incident and the Kaiso family was the best example for everyone to take notes of.

Offending Zen was equivalent to signing their death certificate since a long time had passed yet the Kaiso Family didn't retaliate against Zen for the destruction he caused.

Hence, everyone knew the background behind Zen was powerful. Powerful enough to cause the top 3 families in the Jade Kingdom to stay silent and remain in their position.

"Why does everyone seem so afraid of you?" Lena couldn't hold her curiosity any longer as she asked him.

"From the food vendors to the clothing stores, everyone seemed to be polite and frightened of you at the same time," she added.

Zen smiled as he leaned closer to her. "What do you think the answer is?" He whispered softly into her ears.

Lena made a pondering expression before opening her mouth. "Is it because of your background?"

"What kind of background do you think I could have?" 

"A powerful background." Lena replied quickly as she continued, "You were able to live in the Imperial Court and have unique abilities that I still can't tell as of this moment."

She then made a fierce glare as she questioned him, "You're not some prince for a powerful kingdom, right?"

Zen almost choked on his saliva when Lena's guess became more ridiculous.

Lena raised an eyebrow at his reaction. "If you're not a prince then you must be someone with a powerful master. Otherwise, I can't fathom the attitude of these people that respect and fear you at the same time."

Right when Zen wanted to reply to her, the entrance of the Jade Kingdom began rumbling hard with multiple luxurious carriages coming in.

"Look, it's the prince from the White Tiger Kingdom."

"Oh my god, he's so handsome. I heard the prince managed to earn a title for himself during the dragon expedition."

"Although he's from the enemy Kingdom, I still can't help but be swoon by his charm."

Screams of frantic women began echoing the crowd when they saw the Prince from the White Tiger Kingdom arriving.

Meanwhile, Zen narrowed his eyes at their grand entrance.

Zen began using his spiritual sense around the luxurious carriage to check who's inside. 

'Heh, these frantic women are really dumb. The Prince isn't even in the carriage.' Zen smirked as he retracted his spiritual sense.
