CH 457

Everyone stopped talking when they saw Claire and respectfully welcomed her, but when they looked up they realized it wasn’t just Claire.

Other than a few guards, there were also three strange youths following her. They were strange not because of their appearance, but because they were out of place.

Three people, one man, and two women, the black-haired one in lead followed closely behind Claire, he looked normal and kind of depressed, but the other two women were stunning, they immediately lit up the entire room and attracted everyone’s gazes.

That was where it got awkward, everyone was paying their respects to Claire but their gazes were immediately attracted by the two beauties. Although they had the princess in their words, their eyes kept wandering to the two women.

The princess should be the main character during the meeting, did something go wrong? Even in terms of beauty, she was also one, so why were they stealing the limelight?

It can’t be helped, it wasn’t just anyone, it was Elena and ShenDai Ying who were inhuman.

Not much more had to be said for Elena, she wasn’t even human. As the demon king, she also possessed the perfect demon god’s body, with her outrageous chest and her silver hair, and red eyes. Her appearance was as perfect as a doll’s.

As for ShenDai Ying…

Wait, are you sure Claire is the princess and not the beautiful woman walking behind her?

But what shocked everyone wasn’t her beauty but her aura!

As the princess of the Great Qin empire as well as an assassin from Shen Yue Ge, maintaining a noble air about her was part of her training that was already instinctive.

When those two walked into the room, everyone fell silent. They all foolishly fell silent after greeting the princess and even forgot to close their mouths.

“Hm?”

Even if Claire was a bit absentminded, she could still sense the atmosphere no matter how slow she was and she quickly came to realize the two big bosses stole her limelight and regretted bringing them along.

Well, even if they did steal the limelight, Claire didn’t really feel jealous. After the conversation she had with Lin Xiao yesterday, she completely understood the difference she had with them and already gave up any hope she had. Now she could put down the unclear feelings she had towards Lin Xiao.

That’s right, Claire had no more feelings! She was an emotionless killer!

Uh no, she was an emotionless spokesperson of the king! Other than the war meeting, she won’t think of anything else!

“Cough, cough…”

Although having said, Claire just weakly waved to everyone and sat down then rested her chin in her hands and yawned. She was clearly very tired and lethargic.

Lin Xiao originally wanted to make a splendid appearance to give everyone an initial show of strength! But unfortunately, they were both tired from staying up too late, so they could only omit that part and wait for the meeting to start.

As for the three of them… the two beauties kept a low profile and tactfully walked into a corner to find a seat behind Claire.

That unremarkable black-haired youth was arrogant and shamelessly stood next to the princess and even leaned against her chair. He was also yawning and wobbling like he could fall asleep at any moment!

“Hey! How dare you disrespect the princess!”

“Ah? What did I do?”

Lin Xiao blinked and thought he forgot to wear pants or something because he was too tired, but when he took a look, it was just because his arm accidentally touched Claire’s shoulder.

“Hey, I just accidentally touched her, what are you getting so riled up for?”

“W-who are you? Is the princess someone you can just touch?”

“What? It’s not like touching her will impregnate her, she herself doesn’t even have anything to say so what are you shouting about?”

Lin Xiao moved over a bit in annoyance to avoid arousing suspicion, but because he was too tired he wobbled and unconsciously put his hand on Claire’s shoulder to support himself and avoided falling over.

“Y-y-y-you… dare to just directly touch her!?”

Seeing that Taike was getting enraged, Lin Xiao was just looking at his hand that was on Claire’s shoulder and didn’t know what he was getting angry for.

“You shameless, sordid, and dirty servant! It seems like I need to teach you a lesson…. guards! Guards come and throw this brat out!”

Taike quickly called the guards over afraid that Claire was going to be taken advantage of by that kid.

As an official, he couldn’t tolerate this kind of disrespect! Claire was still unwed, how could he just let a brat like that casually touch her? He already labeled Lin Xiao as an uneducated servant, so kicking him out was already the lightest punishment!

When the guards arrived and were about to act, Claire just impatiently waved her hands and shooed the guards away.

“Don’t come in without my order! Uncle Taike, why are you calling the guards?”

“Princess Claire, I’m worried about you!”

“Me? What about me?”

“The servant next to you, that brat… he was taking advantage of the opportunity to touch you!”

“Oh, him, he’s not a servant, he’s called Lin Xiao. I invited him today to help as an advisor, you don’t need to worry.”

“What? He’s Lin Xiao?”

Taike was dumbfounded and Claire ignored everyone’s surprise and didn’t even care about Lin Xiao touching her, but turned to worry about LinXiao.

“Hey, are you alright, you can’t even stand straight, do you need to go take a nap?”

“I’m fine… I just woke up so I’m a bit dizzy. What about you?”

“Definitely better than you.”

“Don’t talk so big tomboy, if you dare doze off during the meeting, don’t blame me for not holding back!”

“Lin Xiao, don’t hit my hand in front of everyone…”

“So you were planning on dozing off?”

“Of course not… hmph, don’t look down on me!”

Although they were whispering, Taike was still able to hear a bit of their conversation and was shocked!

What was going on?

This was the first time hearing Claire flirting with someone around her age, both of them were relaxed and it didn’t seem like a relationship between a commander and advisor… it was rather like a teacher and student relationship.

Who was Lin Xiao? He was just a normal kid without any background or ability, why was considered a teacher by princess Claire? Could he have even more of a deeper relationship with her…

Taike was full of questions but didn’t dare directly question the princess, so he could only change the subject.

“Princess Claire, you seem sleep deprived… did you not get any sleep yesterday?”

He immediately noticed Claire’s eye circles when she walked in, at first he thought it was because she was going over documents late into the night, but that Lin Xiao brat also had dark eye circles, like neither of them got much sleep. It was strange so that’s why he asked her.

“Sigh, indeed… we were both doing it late into the night until early morning, and in the end we couldn’t hold out and fell asleep together… yawn, I’m exhausted.”

Claire had a headache when she recalled the strange things he made her memorize, and couldn’t help yawning.

“What did you say? You were doing it late into the night until early morning and fell asleep together???”

Taike trembled as he stood up and pointed at Lin Xiao.

“Princess… did you already get to that point with him?”

“Ah? What point?”

“Princess Claire, forgive me for saying so, your father once said that he’s strictly prohibited his children from having any irresponsible physical relations with members of the opposite sex, so does what you did with Lin Xiao yesterday show that you have already decided to…”
