It was no longer a new news that Abyss Scion had a romantic interest towards Princess Fiarra. As a matter of fact, he was one of the outstanding men who sent a proposal for the princess. Unfortunately, he was also rejected. No, all of them who proposed were rejected.
In which he didn't take it to heart. He assumed that the princess was in her rebellious phase of adolescence and was trying to figure out what she wanted. So he was waiting patiently and understood her.
As for the Eve Clan Young Master? He wouldn't dare to like her even if he wanted to unless he wanted to bring forth the rage of the scion.
"Abyss Scion, we meet again." Fiarra gave him a sweet smile, "It's rare to see a friend here, so I hope we get along."
"That's for sure." Abyss Scion was happy inside his heart but maintained his composure, "Are you here for trying your luck with the Soar Stone? If that's the case, I can help you and give you pointers according to what I have found."
Abyss Scion had studied the stone for a long time now, and he felt like he was two steps away from discovering it. He wasn't willing to impart it to others here when they tried to ask for it, but he's willing to give it to the princess?
It's not like they were angry, it just tasted bitter.
However, the princess shook her head and said, "Scion, I'm here just to accompany my Young Noble here since he takes an interest with the stone."
Finally, Abyss Scion looked at Jin Rou who was very looking mediocre and spoke with a different tone, "Young Noble?"
At first, he didn't plan to look at Jin Rou as he thought he was just an insignificant insect buzzing around his princess. Who would have thought that this man who looked like the epitome of normalcy was his young noble?
"Yes, Scion. I'm serving the Young Noble as his personal maid." Fiarra said the truth. There was no reason to keep it since Jin Rou would eventually declare it. Besides, she wasn't ashamed of being a maid of the young noble. Factly speaking, she was proud of it.
The bystanders couldn't believe what they heard and felt their ears itching. Did they hear it right? That this man was he who was being served by this goddess?
"Goddess Fiarra is serving a man...?" One of her die hard fans felt his world crumbled.
Soon, all eyes were on Jin Rou and their gazes were devouring. It was filled with hatred and jealousy as if asking 'why the hell a nobody like you experiences the bliss of being served by such a beauty?'
Of course, Jin Rou didn't mind them. Since Fiarra had already set his stage, he didn't mind to play along, "Indeed, she is my personal maid."
Abyss Scion's face turned dark and tried to smooth it, "Princess Fiarra, is this some kind of sick joke?"
How could a distinguished princess serve an insect?
"Unfortunately, Scion, it is the truth." Fiarra's tone was cold this time, "And honestly, I am doing my job well and am enjoying it."
Compared to the pressure of being the princess and as a heiress, being a personal maid was relaxing. She just needed to accompany Jin Rou and give all his needs and it's already good. Such an easy life was hard to come by.
"You should know, Princess, what will happen in case your father catches a wind of this." Abyss Scion's mood was already foul. His pride couldn't take it that the woman he was pursuing was under another man. A man who looked useless and weak at that!
"It's no use using my father here, Scion." Fiarra shook her head and looked at Abyss Scion with disappointment. She finally looked at Jin Rou and smiled genuinely while holding his hand, "Young Noble, let's go to the front of the stone."
Jin Rou nodded and went along. The scene of a beautiful princess escorting a man with normal looks would be forever imprinted on the minds of those who had seen this, especially the men who were burning with jealousy and killing intent. If glares could kill, Jin Rou had been hacked already into million pieces.
Abyss Scion clenched his fists, trying to control his emotions. It wasn't the right place and the right time. No one could cause trouble here in Mortalis. Thus he thought of something that didn't need to be physical. His eyes flashed with sinisterness.
He followed suit towards the front and said, "Princess Fiarra, since he is your distinguished person, I bet he is all talented. This place is perfect for youth who wants to showcase their talents. That Soar Stone has engraved symbols in it. I'm guessing that your Young Noble can understand it with his peerless talents."
Hearing this, the men bystanders also agreed and pushed the matter deeper so that the other party wouldn't have a chance to escape comfortably.
The Eve Clan Young Master pushed it further, "Our Abyss Scion is right. As the princess' master, we want to see how peerless you are by understanding the stone. With your prowess, that's nothing but a piece of cake for you, right?"
Fiarra creased her brows. She knew what these men were trying to do. They're digging a pit for Jin Rou to jump down. Since the majority voiced their words, it would appear shameful should he decline.
"Of course, you can just say no. We don't want to make you feel uncomfortable here." Abyss Scion said with an indifferent expression, albeit he was burning with jealousy inside. He wanted to humiliate the man as much as possible that he wouldn't show up his face again.
Fiarra wanted to say something but Jin Rou signaled her to not bother. She could only sigh and wish that the young noble wouldn't go overboard this time.
After all, she wasn't worried about Jin Rou. She was worried about these stupid people who couldn't see who they just offended.
