Capítulo 135: Trouble

As soon as the waiter comes in, the man named Master Yin Zhelan orders several things and asks "Is there anything you wish to try?" I glance to him before saying "No, I'm new to the area so I'm unfamiliar with the food here."

The man Yin Zhelan nods as if he already knew and says "That'll be all." The waiter bows and says "I will bring it to you immediately." A woman walks in and serves what looks like tea and pours us each a cup before stepping back and leaving.

The man looks to me and says "We haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm known as Master Yin Zhelan but you can just call me Yin Zhelan." I lightly pick up the small cup before taking a small sip. It's not great but it's not bad...

I put the cup down and say "It's nice to meet you Yin Zhelan. My name is..." I suddenly stop when I think about my name and how different it is. Yin Zhelan's dark eyes narrow a bit before he takes a sip of tea and says "If I remember correctly, your contracted beast called you Willow?"

Mango stiffens on my shoulder as I slightly smirk and say "Yes, my name is Willow." He watches me closely and says "That's an odd name but still very beautiful." His dark eyes watch mine before saying "I hope you can forgive me for asking but what continent do you come from?"

Continent? I take another small sip of the warm tea as I say "A very far away continent." He narrows his eyes on me again before he suddenly smiles and says "I see, I guess that's why your so different but still so beautiful. Tell me, Miss Willow, where are your guards and servants?"

I narrow my eyes and set the teacup down before narrowing my eyes on him. "Are you taking me out for lunch or interrogating me?" I ask with ice in my voice. He watches me closely for several silent seconds before smiling and saying "Forgive me. I'm just worried about a young, beautiful woman like yourself wandering around the capital all alone."

The waiter suddenly enters the room with several others following behind him. They place several plates of food in front of us before slowly backing out. Mango starts to shake from excitement, making me sigh.

I set a bowl next to mine as I say "Eat" Mango jumps down and says "Thank you, Willow. You truly are the best, kindest, most beautiful, and intelligent princess..." When I cut him a look, he instantly shuts up and starts grabbing food and shoving it into his mouth.

When I look back up, I see Yin Zhelan watching with dark eyes but again, he doesn't say a word. It seems like he keeps a lot of things hidden within those dark eyes. He gives me a polite smile before saying "Please, help yourself."

I eat a little but I can't help but feel him staring at me. He doesn't openly stare at me when I'm facing him but I can feel him watching me when I'm not looking.

Yin Zhelan watches the beautiful woman in front of him with conflicted emotions. He can't feel an ounce of spiritual power within her so does that mean she's stronger than him? Impossible. If she had come out and asked for a place to stay, he would take her in without a second thought but she was intentionally putting up a wall.

Her skin is so fair and beautiful but her eye color was unique. Truly a treasure. She's clearly not from around here but he can tell she's of noble blood by the way she moves. The way she carries herself and even with the way she eats. She's definitely royal but to what kingdom?

He wants to allow her to stay with him and within his courtyard but the woman was clearly dangerous. He saw what she could do with his own eyes and if he hadn't seen it himself, he wouldn't have believed it.

Even though he's seen her eyes several times, he finds himself wanting to see them more and more. They're a dark, smoky grey color that literally has his heart skipping a beat. He has several beautiful women in his courtyard but none of them look like her. He wants her...

When I feel the man staring at me again, I sigh and put the chopsticks down. "Thank you for lunch, Yin Zhelan but I must take my leave now. Thank you for trying to help me earlier." Mango looks like he wants to pout but he quickly jumps up on my shoulder as I turn to leave but when I see two large guards block the door, I feel myself growing angry.

Yin Zhelan suddenly speaks up and says "I would like to make an offer, Willow. Would you please hear me out?" I grit my teeth and turn to look at the man in white with irritation. He remains seated like he was in control of everything here as he smiles and says "I would like to offer the position of my first wife to you. If you ask anyone, they will tell you just how important that role is."

First wife? Does that mean he has several others? Hah! What a joke. I glare at him as I say "I'm going to have to politely decline that offer. Now, please tell your guards to move before they get hurt." The guards behind me have the nerve to actually pull out their swords as Yin Zhelan frowns and asks "Are you perhaps already married to someone else?"
