“You’re really Lin Xiao?”

“Yes, why?”

“You helped Claire quell the disputes and you even tamed Grand Marshall Barrett?”

“It’s nothing that exaggerated, Barrett was just too eager but he’s a good person.”

“Really? Also! You killed the traitor Hardy on the spot and protected princess Claire winning her heart, is that true?”

“Her heat? Uh, why is it getting more and more ridiculous… Hardy was just asking for it, it’s not like I could spare him.”

“So those rumors were all true… Then did you really pledge to be married to the princess and prepare to get married after defeating the rebels? At that time, if King George permits, are you thinking about helping Claire becoming the next queen? Also, how many kids are you planning on having? Did you go after her first, or did she go after you?”

“I’m planning on… peh! Who’s going to have kids with that tomboy!? Why are you asking those strange questions?”

Lin Xiao almost choked and never thought that the rumors would have already spread to this point!

Mina, on the other hand, was completely acting like a fan-girl, and the only thing missing was asking for an autograph!

“Hehe, Lin Xiao, did you know? I just heard about your stories today and never expected that I would actually meet you!”

“Oh, what a coincidence.”

“I know! Ah, I almost forgot to introduce myself… I’m Mina! Twenty years old and still unmarried, I-I don’t have a boyfriend either! … Lin Xiao, it’s nice to meet you!”

Mina introduced herself, and although the contents were a bit strange, her attitude was fitting. After she was done she even reached out for a handshake.

“Mina, I’m Lin Xiao… it’s nice to meet you as well.”

Lin Xiao didn’t think much and politely grasped Mina’s hand, but the instant he felt her soft hand and the contrast in temperature, he stopped.

Mina’s reaction was a bit strange, it was like… she was a bit embarrassed?

Of course she was!

Actually, when their hands touched, Mina regretted it.

When she saw the legendary Lin Xiao she became excited but when her hand was touched and felt his warmth, she blushed and became embarrassed.

What was she doing? Why did she have to shake hands? She even talked about whether she had a boyfriend or not, she acted so flagrantly, like… like she was seducing him!?

Please, she’s not that kind of woman!

She may admire Lin Xiao’s stories and respect a hero that’s both strong and smart, but she never thought of seducing him! How could she do something like that!?

Damn!

Mina, oh Mina, you’re already twenty years old, how can you act so naively, even worse that a youth that hasn’t even grown up?

Mina’s thoughts jumped all over the place, she would be embarrassed for a bit, then worried, then she would blame herself, but her hand was still holding onto Lin Xiao and after a minute, it was like she was reluctant to let go!

At this time, a certain person behind them was already grinding their teeth and seething with anger. Bacon glared at their hands and couldn’t suppress his rage as he thought about what just happened and shot up!

Bacon had thought she was a chaste woman since she wouldn’t let him touch her butt or even hands and pretended to be that pure and innocent, but now you just threw yourself at a man you just met without any reserve. You even let him touch your hands and now you won’t even let go!?

So you were just a slut! If he knew that he would have just did it!

Noticing the difference in treatment, Bacon couldn’t keep on watching, so he angrily stormed over and interrupted them!

“Okay, okay! Have you shaken enough, not afraid of getting a skin disease?”

“Baron Bacon? Uh…”

Mina finally came to her sense and quickly pulled her hand back. Lin Xiao just smiled and put his hand behind him which ended up being secretly grabbed by ShenDai Ying and then fiercely grasped by her hand.

Of course, Mina didn’t notice ShenDai Ying’s jealousy and just thought she was in the wrong so she quickly apologized.

“S-sorry… Lin Xiao, I didn’t mean anything by that! I was just startled, please don’t be angry!”

“Hehe, it’s…”

“It’s fine, how could a pervert like him be angry at holding hands with a beautiful girl?” Elena interrupted before Lin Xiao could respond.

“Hey! Elena, you’re acting up again, are you lonely and asking to be kneaded!?”

“Hmph, u-using those perverted words again to threaten me… can’t you change it up a bit?”

“Oh, then if you don’t want to be kneaded, then how about licked, would you like that more?”

“… Damn pervert!”

“Tsk, I already said to call me master!”

“Ha…haha… you guys have a really good relationship.” Mina couldn’t really understand their strange conversation, but it felt a bit shameful so she just laughed.

But Bacon wasn’t that polite!

Mina, you rejected me in every possible way yet you keep flirty with this damn brat, so I’m going to make you understand how wrong you were! I’m going to make you regret it and get you crying and pleading for me to forgive you!

“Mina, what are you doing? You haven’t verified their identities after this long!?”

“Baron Bacon? I…” Mina shivered when she heard Bacon and quickly responded, “I-I already registered him.”

“Oh, then what about those two women? Who are they?”

“Um, sorry Baron Baocn, I-I haven’t asked yet.”

“Haven’t asked? You’re useless! How can you be a receptionist if you don’t even ask that!?”

When Bacon heard that, he instantly widened his eyes and chewed her out right in front of the other three.

He originally wanted to ask about the two women’s names and identities so he could get closer to them, but that plan failed so he could only get back on track and start his revenge plan.

“Forget it… you should know at least who he is right?”

He clearly heard everything when sitting nearby earlier, yet he still asked and forced Mina to personally say it.

“H-he’s Lin Xiao, he came to find Deborah for something called a sacred crystal fruit.”

“Lin Xiao? The advisor that Princess Claire invited?”

“That’s right, it’s him!”

“Idiot! How could a brat like him be Lin Xiao?”

“But… that’s what he said!”

“Hmph, is he Lin Xiao just because he says so? Would you believe him if he says he’s princess Claire’s husband?”

“Hm, I would probably believe him, since even you said that Lin Xiao and princess Claire are about to be married…”

“You’re still trying to make excuses!? … Mina, did you forget how I warned you earlier?”

“You told me to register the identity of the guests…”

“Peh! I also told you to not be tricked!!! That Lin Xiao is an imposter! He’s a liar!”

“What? A liar?”

Mina nervously held her mouth and remembered Bacon’s warnings! That’s right, he did say that there were still spies other than Hardy and some of them may pretend to be Lin Xiao, since not many have actually met the real Lin Xiao. At that time Mina never took those words to heart, but thinking about it now, it may be possible!

“Hmph, thank goodness I’m here! Otherwise… Mina, you would have been tricked!”

“But Baron Bacon, I don’t think he’s lying, shouldn’t we…”

“Enough! You idiot, shut up! This brat is undoubtedly a liar! … Someone come! Arrest this imposter!!!”

Bacon quickly ran to the door and shouted outside! Soon rushed footsteps could be heard and a group of people arrived!
