Arthur did not return her smile or answer. He just stare at her blue eyes.
In Ha was getting restless and annoyed.
'What did you see?Why is this person so difficult to deal with?'
This bastard was rude. Not responding when someone spoke was definitey not give her a respect. If this man in his world, she would beat and teach him a lesson for his ill-mannered and insolently to someone older than him.
Mathematically, her age as In Ha was six years older than Arthur. So compared to her as a mature woman, the person next to her was just a cheeky brat and she wouldn't have hesitated to kick his shin. But, for no particular reason, his taller figure made her felt inferior.
"Ah ... well ... it seems like you're busy." In Ha was tired keeping her smile. Her cheeks hurt. And her patiently started to crumble. Before she lost all of her swearing, she decided to take a step back. "Let's have a tea together when your business is over. Just let me know l
Before Arthur opened his mouth, Michael cut in first."I can use my status too to choose her, right? Do you still not allow it, Lord Arthur?"Their room suddenly turned quiet. The temperature dropped and there was a cold aura emanating from the second prince. Logan pulled his hand down and sat upright. Marianne slowly lowered her hands too. There was a time when the cheerful Michael turned into someone else.Only those closest to him know about it. Compared to the Crown Prince, the Second Prince was far more vicious. When he smiles, he could stab his opponent without a single burden. But when his smile disappeared, he turned even more vicious. He would rather tear the person in front of him and let him die slowly.He would use his sword like a kitchen knife to skin a fish without bleeding.They said that is the hidden talent of the Second Prince. This made the faction under the Crown Prince wary. Besides being an expert in using his sword, Michael
Among the seniors who looked in amazement, many scornful gazes were directed at her too.What that Lady doing? This was clearly a competition for men, not a dolls playground.They whispered among themselves.In Ha's ears clearly heard it.Getting the stares and attention of the entire room even though she was sitting in the back is nothing new. She ignored them and focused on Arthur's expression before shifting her eyes to the person beside Arthur.Only Michael seemed extremely happy. He snapped his fingers at Arthur."See?! without needing to persuade her, she went of her own choice." Michael could not help whispering in Arthur's ear. At least, Lilian passed the first condition he need.Arthur only saw a glimpse to the hall, indeed, Lilian was the only woman left behind. Arthur silently questioned his vision, but this was real! Lilian did choose his division. He had mixed feelings that couldn't be explained.Logan, returning t
"I can make you pass whatever the test is. How is it?"In Ha stole a glance at him, probing. "Not interest."Michael frowned. "Did you hear what I say?""I hear you as clear as the sun on sunny days. All right, let me hear what you want instead."She made herself last a while to listen to whatever the second prince wanted to say. Since she was in an unfavorable position, Lilian would love to consider all the possibilities, even if it comes from the prince she had always avoided though.Michael's smile widened. "I know you are smart, Milady. Like I said, I will secure a place for you in this division."In Ha folded her arms across her chest. She paid no attention to her politeness at all even before the royal prince. She basically did not come from here and she did not uphold the attitude that should be done by a nobleman in general.She was stressed enough to be in an unfamiliar life, why did she have to increase her stress with these
In Ha spent the night sitting absent-mindedly in bed. She made no progress at all. Today she met Arthur three times, and Arthur also threw her out three times.If she followed her heart, In Ha felt like slapping his cold face. To be honest, what was she trying so hard for? No awards would be received. She did not know whether this would be commensurate with the end result she wanted to achieve.Lilian avoided the path that caused her to coup her family. Shouldn't that have saved her from the written end? She wouldn't need to take Arthur's heart anymore, right? The more In Ha thought, the more her brain clogged. She laid her tired body and mind. She must stop thinking about it and face what in plain sight.While lying down, she found it complicated. She had to admit Arthur's handsome face bothered her. It would be a shame if she had to slap him on the cheek. Ah...-------Today, the second test day. From the first written
Adney, with his green eyes observed the famous Duke's daughter.Her hair was weaved back together. She dress like himself. She wore a shirt and pants but with a feminine touch. A lace and tassels dazzling at the ends of the sleeves and neck.This frail woman stood in the arena of the battlefield and was watched by many people without trembling. Adney had to admit the attitude Lilian was showing now.So he didn't seem to mind answering her question, "This is the coolest division in the kingdom, of course I have to be in it."He placed the sword by his side. "If you don't mind, I also want to ask you the same thing."In Ha followed Adney's movements. She smiled sweetly. "My father is the highest commander in this division, my brother is the captain here, shouldn't I be here too?""Ah you're right. Then should we start?" Adney signaled with his eyes. Logan as the referee already waving a sign that the test has begun."Sir Adney, I know I
Michael gawked at Lilian who left the arena. Even though Lilian passed the test, the way she won made Michael's blood boil. He stood silently next to Arthur, trying to stop himself from flying to that girl and scolded her.Meanwhile, Arthur was able to predict what happened when he saw someone from the Grissham family became Lilian's opponent.Their family were known for upholding and respecting women. Relationship between Count and Countess Grissham was the relationship of political marriage. Although based on politics, the attitude Count Grissham acted toward the Countess made the Countess fall for him. So the Countess tought their children to act like their father. The Grissham became famous among elite socialites because of that.His sister was really lucky this time due to the fact that his opponent came from that family.But for the third test ...Arthur looked at the people who passed. He was sure that Lilian would not be able to last even o
"Why did she choose that ...?" Arthur muttered to himself.Lilian entered the aisle to her left. The hallway was bumpy on the left and right.She stunned.This was the first time she saw something like this. The road that was traversed was like the path Moses walked when he split the sea.The left and right walls were like living aquariums. It gave the feeling when she went to play at the sea world. In Ha could see various types of small fish milling about in it."That..."She stopped to pay more attention. The fish carry a kind of coin above their heads. Floating and sparkling. In Ha stuck out her hand hesitantly.Splasssh!The little fish floundered in Lilian's hand before disappearing, leaving coins engraved with numbers on it. It seemed like the point value she had to collect."I see..."She pocketed her coins and continued on her way. In Ha counted the number of arrows she had. She could use it ten times at l
Arthur saw from a distance something came into sight in the middle of the arena. Sure enough, from nowhere, suddenly this giant octopus appeared. He suspected the magic stone they putting on related to that.Arthur jumped from his monitoring site and ran towards the arena. Michael followed right beside him. The entire division one moved to the source, except Marianne, who froze in her place."Take out everyone from the arena!" Arthur gave an order to his colleague.They did install the third route in the water arrangement but did not put this big octopus in it. The coin above its head was proof that this animal indeed part of the target test but how its size changes was still a mystery.He and Michael along with all members of the division pulled the participants from two other routes.Even though the forest and desert routes were not in the same condition as the water routes, they take them out just in case.The magic stone that was turned
