The second prince sat down with a calm look, but he was inwardly cursing the fifth princess. He was also looking at her with a gentle gaze but hidden behind that facade was thick killing intent!
Oblivious to her second brother’s towering rage, Princess Sylvia sat beside Prince Dante and showed off the small pouch that contained the one thousand True Crystals that Prince Arslan gave her.
“Look, the second brother gave me a thousand True Crystals. Hehe.” Princess Sylvia said to the fourth prince with a smug look on her face.
Prince Dante smiled and patted her head gently. “Good job, fifth sister!” He said while giving her a thumbs up.
Prince Arslan who was still looking at the fifth princess became more incensed at what he saw. ’Once everything is settled, I’ll make sure that both of you will die by my hands! Did you guys really think that I fear that old bastard’s rage?! Laughable!’ Prince Arslan thought maliciously.
Lu Sulan walked towards the fourth prince’ and fifth princess’ table and smiled at them. “Hello, dear guests. Do you like to order something?” Lu Sulan asked while looking at the two in amusement.
Princess Sylvia’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Lu Sulan. And with a perplexed tone, she asked the latter. “Young Miss, are you a new waitress here?”
’Young Miss?’ Lu Sulan muttered in her heart with delight and her impression of Princess Sylvia improved significantly.
“That’s right, your highness. I’m indeed a new waitress here.” Lu Sulan said softly.
Princess Sylvia’s expression turned into excitement when she heard that. “Oh, really? Young Miss, how did you become a waitress in Wine Master Jiu’s store? Could you please tell me how you did it?” The little princess said while looking at Lu Sulan with shining eyes.
Lu Sulan’s lips twitched at the fifth princess’ words. ’To think that my master’s charm could even sway a young girl’s heart…’
When Lu Sulan saw the eager look in Princess Sylvia’s eyes, she could not help but sigh. Lu Sulan then inched closer to the little princess and whispered to her ears. “Your Highness, to be honest with you, I’m Wine Master Jiu Shen’s disciple.”
The fifth princess’ eyes bulged at Lu Sulan’s words. “Disciple? He’s taking in disciples?” The former muttered to herself while looking at Lu Sulan with a flabbergasted look.
“Yes, I don’t know what master saw in me. But I know that my fate has changed the moment I accepted him as my master.” Lu Sulan smiled while looking at Jiu Shen who was sitting lazily on his chair.
Princess Sylvia followed her gaze and saw the man that was always present in her dreams.
Her eyes turned vibrant and everything else blurred except for that very man she was looking at. And as if Jiu Shen felt her gaze, he opened his eyes and turned to look at Princess Sylvia.
When their gazes met, Princess Sylvia felt her heart fluttering in glee and happiness. At that moment, she finally realized that she had fallen for this mysterious man.
“Is this what they call love?” She muttered in the most gentle voice she had ever spoken in all her life.
The fourth prince who was listening at the sidelines almost fell on his chair when he heard her soft voice. ’Oh no! She has completely succumbed to Wine Master Jiu’s charms!’ Prince Dante thought to himself while feeling a bit conflicted.
He was happy for his sister but also worried at the same time.
He was glad that her sister found the man she likes, but he was worried that his sister’s feelings might not be reciprocated.
After visiting Jiu Shen’s store for many days, Prince Dante had roughly understood the former’s personality.
Jiu Shen was a mysterious man who was even said to be an Alchemy Saint. His unfathomable strength and uncaring attitude were evident to all the patrons of his wine store. So the possibility of him reciprocating Princess Sylvia’s feelings was almost impossible.
Prince Dante sighed regretfully at his own thoughts. He then turned to look at his little sister who still had an infatuated smile on her pretty face. Prince Dante’s expression had a tinge of pity when he saw her like that.
Lu Sulan held the same sentiments when she saw the little princess’ look. She had interacted with her master for a couple of times already and she even held an inexplicable emotion towards him, but she knew that her master had never thought of entangling himself with any emotional ties at the moment.
Lu Sulan shook her head and turned her gaze to the fourth prince.
The latter understood Lu Sulan’s gaze, so he spoke silently. “I apologize for delaying your tasks, young miss. Can we try the new wine?”
Lu Sulan nodded her head with a smile but still gave him a warning. “Yes, you can. But each of you can only drink half of it, okay? So I can only give you guys one bottle of Frozen Origin.”
The fourth prince had a regretful look, but he was still curious about the new wine, so he agreed. “No problem, young miss.” He said.
Lu Sulan nodded her head at Prince Dante and turned to look at Princess Sylvia before she went to the wine storage.
“Brother, that beautiful lady told me that she’s a disciple of Wine Master Jiu.” Princess Sylvia said without looking at Prince Dante.
The latter was dumbfounded at his sister’s words. He then held Princess Sylvia’s shoulders and shook her gently. “Fifth sister, what did you say?”
Princess Sylvia glanced at the fourth prince in annoyance and replied with a vexed tone. “Listen carefully, my idiot brother. I said Wine Master Jiu took her in as his disciple. That means there is a possibility of him taking in more.”
Prince Dante released Princess Sylvia’s shoulders and sighed. He then looked at Jiu Shen who was rubbing the fur of a fat white cat and muttered to himself. “Is that really the case? I doubt that…”
