On the other hand Lao Min Na can hardly hide her annoyed face, she could have guess which prince is coming.

A moment later the crown prince Zhao Mu Fan and the 6th prince Zhao Li Xin enter the room, the crown prince wearing lavish blue robes with dragon embroidery on his chest and jade crown on his head everything about him screaming 'I'M ROYALTY!!' she also handsome and tall so no wonder Lao Fei Yan crazy about him while behind him is the infamous 6th Prince Lory remember him as the man she saves once in the forest but why he still look very sick?

He look more handsome than the crown Prince but he look very paled and weak as if the wind blow would make him fall, Lory confuse why he look like that after she healed him, sure she got cursed who restricted her power but still she have confidence in her power. Lory unconsciously staring at 6th Prince fortunately she was hidden behind other maids and everyone eyes drawn to crown prince so no one notice her except Zhao Li Xin himself.

"Greeting Crown prince and 6th prince, this official welcome both honorable guest in my humble Manor" Prime Minister bow respectfully while the other follows but the servants must kneel in front of royalty, Lory follow without thinking too much she not Princess anymore since she stranded to this world even though Girsha disagree with that.

"Rise!" Crown Prince wave his hand to sign them, all of them stand up simultaneously. Lao Fei Yan gazed Zhao Mu fan with twinkle in her eyes show how much she loved this man while Lao Min Na not even gives Zhao Mu Fan a glance, the rumor said that Lao Min Na used to head over heels with Zhao Mu Fan but with her status she could never married with him and it's broke her heart when The prime minister matchmaking Lao Fei Yan to Zhao Mu Fan, the story goes Lao Min Na begging The Crown Prince to take her as Concubine instead of course her request were denied, Lao Min Na become sad and desperate she throw herself to the pond and she almost died because of it.

Luckily one of the strong 'Mama' who can swim help her and that's how she manage to preserved her lived, the prime minister embarrassed by her rash action and punish her to be confined for a year in her courtyard then some one spread about the news inside Prime Minister Manor and ever since that she become jokes in the capital. Lory watch the interaction between the tree of them Lao Min Na face remain placid her eyes is cold and indifferent, Lory pondering after that day Lao Min Na changed drastically she become quite, composed and a bit calculative, no one would have guess she is the same woman who was suicide for man love, is it because trauma or maybe....something else.

"Prime Minister I'm here to visit my lovely fiance" Zhao Mu Fan said with dazzling smiled, make Lao Fei Yan blush while the other female sibling green with envy but Lao Min Na still not budge she even look a bit bored. Meanwhile Lory watch them with great interest she want to see how people in this world flirting, because the custom is very reserved she never seen any lovey-dovey scene in this world even between the Prime Minister with all his women.

"A few days a go I went to dark forest and capture Profound Level beast, when I saw it this prince immediately remember second Miss Lao" said Zhao Mu Fan proudly, it's not easy to capture beast specially the one with Profound level beast this type of beast is twice bigger and smarter than mortal level beast not to mentioned how hard to find this type of beast and for crown prince to go this far for a woman how could she not be flatter, Lao Fei Yan can't help smiling happily meanwhile everyone watch her with envy even Lao Min Na eyes glint for a second before it disappeared without trace.

But only Lory who is frown by now, she can't understand your fiance saw a beast and he immediately remembered you? Lory can only lament to herself if it was her she would offended.

'What's that supposed to mean!!'

Prime Minister Lao smiled proudly, when people knew how much crown prince dotting his daughter how much official family would envy him, just few years later when crown prince become Emperor his daughter would become the next Empress at that time he would become Emperor father in-law, what can be more great than this tomorrow more people would scramble in front of him try to curry his favor, The prime minister still on a daze when four guard carry big caged outside the main hall.

Everyone get outside can't wait to see what kind a beast the crown prince found for Lao Fei Yan, Lory follow everyone outside but only Zhao Li Xin who stay inside, he leaning on his chair sip his warm tea slowly uninterested with the commotion outside.

Inside the cage a tiger with long curvy sharp fang with large robust body, for Lory this beast looks almost like saber tooth tiger but the fur is black with blue stripes and the fur is thicker than normal tiger should be, the beast hitting the cage over and over again his roar is so loud make some of the maid faint some others servant froze while the others can barely stand Lory realizes she is the only maids who is not scared or faint she immediately squat down pretending to be scared while the truth is she is talking with Girsha through telepathic.

[Hey old bird you what do you think about that beast...is it strong?]
