22 THE GOLDEN LADY (1/2)

”You are his superior? But, you look younger than him.” She looked at him befuddled.

”Of course I am younger than him, but it doesn't mean I am more inferior rather than him. I have strong family background.” He said haughtily and drank his tea with elegant manner.

”In another words, with strong family background, even if you aren't capable you could reach the top.” She thought this world it wasn't very different from the world she lived in regarding of position.

Utara almost spurted out the tea he was drinking when he heard Senja's opinion.

”You have an amazing mouth!” He shouted angrily. ”Of course it isn't that case! I had been training since I was 11 and it has been 15 years since that! I am really an idiot if I can't reach important position during those periods of time! I do have good background, but if I don't have capability, do you think people from upper position would willingly gave me 500.000 army under my supervision?!”

Senja startled, she just mentioned her opinion but why he so worked up to explain it, if he didn't agree then he could explain it slowly. After all, she didn't care about all of that status.

”Especially, when it comes to Second prince Xiao, he would never accept people without capability. It was hard to curry favor with him.”

”Second prince? Man with many positions that you was mentioned before?”

”Mmm… are you sure you don't know him?”

She shot him looked with trace of ridiculed. Are you dumb? How many times I have to tell you?!

”Now tell me what is it? Why do you think that I acquainted with him anyway?” If he just mentioned it casually then Senja wouldn't feel something fishy. However, he insisted that she know him.
