For The Glory Of Sitia Empire

Chapter 38

Swinging her waist, Zhan cha walked with soundless steps as she stood in front of the young prince while her lady in waiting stood a little behind.

Smiling, She said with a silvery voice: "Oh, what a great coincidence to meet you here, prince Lennox ".

'Coincidence my ass!! it's obvious that you followed me here'

Keeping his fake smile unwavering, Lennox boldly said:" yes it is, but may I ask what business does my lady have at this hour of the night?".

' Why is he so irritated? I barely said anything '

The frowning Lennox might be scary, but the most terrifying was the smiling and politely-speaking Lennox. Usually, this crown prince would act too lazily, however, if he was annoyed enough to put some effort and threaten you with fake a smile, won't this be a dangerous situation?

Zhan Cha chuckled nervously:" unreasonably, I could not fall asleep so I figured that I should go on a walk, but I never thought that fate would grant me the pleasure to run into your highness ".

She might not be on his good side, but Zhan Cha also could never afford to be on Lennoxs' blacklist. Despite Lennox being young and feared, under shadows, he managed to grab half of the political power in his hand, many of the aristocrats in a way or another were tied down by Lennox.

He wasn't someone she would want to pick on his nerves.

Trying to keep the conversation go in the path she wanted, Zhan Cha prayed in her heart and covered her face with smiles, calmly saying:" oh~ young lady, why are you hiding, don't worry I won't eat you or anything ".

Being pointed at, Everly flinched behind Lennox, grabbed the back of his rob tightly as she shrunk more and more.

Without looking at her, Lennox already knew what the little Loves' reaction would be, he crossed his arms, coldly saying:" leave her aside, I believe you were talking to me".

" ah, I see" Zhan Cha smiled awkwardly as she said:" however, your highness, this is not the first time we have met this afternoon ".

If he is going to be informed, then it is better to tell him by herself than him hearing the story from someone else with extra spice.

Lennox tilted his head to the side, gazing at her as if he was looking at a piece of trash, dryly said:" yes I have heard of it, judging from her reaction, it seems that this meeting wasn't a gratifying experience, which makes me quite displeased".

Zhan Cha quickly explained with a hidden plead in her voice:" ah, your highness, please forgive this humble one for her foolishness, I met the young lady with some acquaintances of mine. Because the lady is such a bashful youth, she must have been frightened by the many unknown faces".

' what a losy excuse, bitch you could have tried a little harder'

Since Lennox was the reason why Everly ended up with them in the first place, he decided to sweep this matter under the rug from his side. Well, he knew that Jennings won't ignore this accident, Everly was an imperial guest, after all, disrespecting her means disrespecting the Emperor himself, but it does not concern him, it's the business of an Emperor and his consort.

The harem really was a place for fierce monsters, no one can be trusted, all these crazy women fighting for the Emperors' affection wasn't something sane people would like to be involved in. he can't let the naive girl get tangled in such a brutal world, nor he himself wanted to have any connection to it.

'Women are savage ' is what he thought.

Lennox:" this time I won't make a move since I see nothing had happened, however, I really don't want to hear that a whore from the Crimson palace glanced at her from far away, is that clear?".

His callous tone range deeply in Zhan Chas' head, this was an obvious threat, which simply meant [ touch her and I shall wipe your whole bloodline off the face of the earth ].

Zhan Cha hardly squeezed "understood" from her mouth, he didn't need to remind the other concubines and consorts, surely this little chat will reach every single one of them.

Seeing Lennox gesturing for them to leave, both Zhan Cha and her maid curtsied then quietly left the courtyard.

Only after seeing their figures fade, did Everly let go of Lennoxs' rob and breathed in relief.

Everly sighed:" Lennox saved me again, thanks ".

Lennox:" hn".

As for Lennox, Everly was the first agreeable none human that he met since he was born, being thrown in the middle of humans' society for ten years wasn't easy for him.

Especially when the creatures around him were the most he resented.

But meeting half a Love made his tension drop a little, overall, Everly said that she will leave sometime soon, of course, he wouldn't want for his 'stress relief toy' to be damaged in some chaotic mess before she leaves.

Everly said as they walked around the lake:" you are really amazing to be able to deal with the adults".

Confused Lennox asked:" why are you even nervous about it ?".

Everly pouted: "Of course I would be nervous, they are older and scarier ".

Lennox:" duh- I am older than them, and you are still roaming around me ".

Everly:" ha?!! How old are you?".

Lennox indifferently answered:" three hundred seventy-nine ".

"Lair " Everly exclaimed.

Lennox:" hey, I am serious here".

Everly hmphed:" I don't believe you".

With a smirk, Lennox said:" well, do as you please ".
