8 New Avatar 2 (2/2)
They seemed rich and typically like a Novo richer or useless third or fourth generation pampered rich lads who have a lot of money to burn.
As a pale looking Alyssa, wearing far more inferior clothes than them approached, they scoffed at her.
She ignored them and asked the dealer for her chips.
Her ignorance infuriated them. One of them opened his mouth to speak,” How dare you? Don't you know that Prince Arthur is playing here? How can a lowly scum like you can come and play here?”
It was fine for her to play somewhere else, but man, he shouldn't have called here lowly or a scum.
Alyssa's eyes turned cold.
”I want to make a bet.” She spoke loudly for the whole casino to here.
The person, who she thought was a lackey of the said Prince Arthur scoffed one again. ”How can a lowly person like you dare to make a bet? You better…”
”Shut up, who are you? Am I speaking to you? ”she interrupted him in the middle of his speech-making his face flush in shame and anger. Then she added, ”Is your prince afraid to make a bet with this lowly commoner?”
Hearing her question, the person mentioned raised his delicate eyebrows and smirked. If Alyssa was some other girl, she had blushed. He was very handsome, with a careless attitude that added charm to his personality.
But Alyssa being Alyssa while standing face to face in front of him was getting more and more irritated as the seconds passed. After a few minutes which seemed like an eternity, he motioned towards the dealer to start the game. Before she can touch her chip, he opened his mouth and said, ”But I have one condition, if I win you have to rub your nose in my shoes and have to say sorry.” Then he faced Alyssa directly and said, ”Is this condition acceptable to you?”
Seeing him smirking Alyssa wanted to punch his face. She girthed her teeth and said ”Yes”. Then she smirked. Pointing her long fingers at him she said,” this rule applies to you too.”
The color of his face drained and his eyes burned in rage. Before he can speak anything, his lackey spoke, ”You think too highly of yourself, you lowly bastard. How can you speak like this to him, a prince of Easteros?
This information startled Alyssa but she showed no reaction. Her face was expressionless.
But the rest of the customers gasped. Some looked pitifully at her way and some were angry, for her arrogance can start a war between Coral Bells and Easteros.
Alyssa ignored their pity or angry looks and shrugged her shoulders. She again challenged him, ”Are you backing off now?”
Arthur ignored her and motioned the dealer to start the game. The dealer wiped his forehead with his hanker chief and stated laying cards.
The game began.
