Chapter 21.1 - The Skirmish between Arch-rival Princesses Part 1 (1/2)
Ximengsi Continent’s central region, Light Church’s headquarters, Holy Land Bloomfield
Just as Clyde felt anxious about not being able to ask anyone for directions without attracting suspicion, beyond his expectations, he happened to meet “Extremely Dark Empire” Augusta Empire’s Princess Ophelia and her younger sister Princess Olia. He was barely an acquaintance with Princess Olia; in fact, they had never even seen his true face.
“What do you want? Nothing? Then, don’t block…”
“This is! Big sister, lower your head a little…”
“What? It turns out you’re… Mister, do you have time now?”
When Clyde went up to strike a conversation with these two princesses, other gentlemen in the vicinity broke out into a cold sweat for this “brave hero.” Princess Ophelia’s cold indifference was very well-known. Even when her empire’s princes saw these sisters, they all subconsciously retreated. Because this pair had massacred too many, no one had yet dared to make moves on them. This issue was a most headache-inducing matter for Augusta Empire’s emperor.
However, the scene everybody had expected didn’t appear. Before Princess Ophelia finished speaking, her younger sister Princess Olia suddenly pulled her sleeve and made her lower her head before whispering something into her big sister’s ears. No one knew what Princess Olia said, but Princess Ophelia’s originally cold indifferent expression eased. After that, she used the gentlest tone she could produce to inquire whether Clyde had free time.
The onlooking crowd all had looks of disbelief. They had seen something impossible: “Extreme Night Princess” Ophelia had actually taken the initiative to invite a man. There must be some kind of scheme here. Many people had already begun to calculate how to help this handsome young man bury his corpse.
Clyde was entirely unaware of the onlookers designing a custom coffin for him. Before, he had quietly shown Princess Olia the black iron token that she had previously given him. This had made Princess Olia recall who he was. After all, Clyde’s main target was Princess Olia, this black twin-tailed Lolita who seemed easy to get along with. As for Princess Ophelia, he temporarily ignored her. He was not particularly good at dealing with this kind of cold, indifferent beauty.
Under Princess Ophelia’s lead, Clyde followed the princess sisters into a luxurious coffee house. These two princesses didn’t like to discuss in public. This move, however, increased the ambiguous element. With so many people present, this matter turned into gossip and rapidly spread throughout the watching nobles back to Augusta Empire.
Always full, Meredith Coffee House was a luxurious coffee house that was second to none in Holy Land Bloomfield. Generally, those who came late wouldn’t have any seat. When Clyde’s party arrived, there just happened to be one seat free. If they had come a little later, they might not have found any seats.
“We will take that seat.”
“Princess Ophelia, someone has already reserved that seat. Can you…”
“Who reserved it? Let them wait for the next seat!”
“This…”
The waiters and maids responsible for welcoming the guests wore awkward expressions. Other aristocrats didn’t dare to fight for a seat with Princess Ophelia even if they were the first person to reserve it. If they knew it was fancied by Princess Ophelia, those aristocrats would definitely give in. However, the person who had reserved this seat today was quite tricky and comparable to Princess Ophelia. They both were someone that couldn’t be offended, so these servants and maids fell into a dilemma.
