98. Conflict
In the following days, almost like when he was in the royal hunting ground, Zhao Yuan would meet with the ninth princess every day in the shop that sold popping cakes.
"How can such a noble woman as the Ninth Princess come to this small pastry shop in person every day?"
"You don't know this, Lord Zhao Yuan, the guest of the Lion King, likes to eat the pastries of that shop, and it is said that the Ninth Princess is going for him!"
"Lord Zhao Yuan, that Terran Eighth-Order Archmage, why didn't I see him!"
"Hey, it's not easy for the archmage to not attract attention, he doesn't have any charm, he has a thin rib, so why did the fox princess look down on him?"
"Otherwise, people will still look down on your muscular lump?"
"What's wrong with the muscular lump? I'm strong! A man is a man only if he is strong and majestic!"
"That's true, but Lord Zhao Yuan is an eighth-order archmage, even if he is a dwarf dwarf, there are many admirers!"
The eldest prince was drinking with his subordinates in the tavern, and when he heard the discussion at the next table, he angrily put the wine glass on the table, and let out a heavy "hum!" sound in his nose.
When his subordinates saw it, they immediately slapped the table and got up, rushed to the adjacent table, and said sharply to the two people: "What are you two things, you dare to talk about the Ninth Princess!"
The two lion clans were also violent, and they rolled up their sleeves and were about to fight with the subordinates of the eldest prince, but they were stopped by one person: "Why do the three of you need to be like this, what these two strong men said is indeed not unreasonable, if you don't believe it, you might as well go to the pastry shop to take a look, in case there is any misunderstanding, you can help the ninth princess untie it, so as not to make Her Royal Highness the princess lose her reputation." ”
When the subordinates of the eldest prince heard this, they couldn't help but look back at the eldest prince, only to see the eldest prince suddenly leave the table, and walked towards the outside of the tavern, he didn't have the heart to entangle with the two lion clans, and hurriedly left with the eldest prince.
Although the two lion clans shouted that they wanted to fight just now, they saw the eldest prince again, and they couldn't help but feel a little worried in their hearts, but fortunately, the person who suddenly appeared relieved them of the siege. Just when they wanted to thank him, they found that the man had disappeared, and the two wanted to look for it, but they found that neither of them remembered the person's appearance, and the only impression was that paragraph of unhurried and unhurried words.
Zhao Yuan has been in the country a lot in the past two days, and the ninth princess actually began to take the initiative to mention some topics to him, and the two of them also had an opportunity to chat. Every time Liam came out with Zhao Yuan, seeing Zhao Yuan's cold and indifferent look, he thought that things were going to be yellow, how could he think that the more cold Zhao Yuan was, the more enthusiastic the ninth princess was, which made Liam stunned and admired.
Today, as usual, Zhao Yuan bought the popping cake, and saw that the ninth princess had already sat down in the shop, and when he saw him coming, he showed him a beautiful smile. For a woman like the Ninth Princess, who is born with strong charm and charm, the enchanting and charming smile is the simplest, but if you want to give people a pure feeling, I am afraid that you will have to work hard.
Zhao Yuan consciously sat opposite the ninth princess, the two looked at each other, one was indifferent and tolerant and gentle, and the other was clear and beautiful with a slight shyness, and the two started chatting again after yesterday's topic. The Ninth Princess seems to be particularly interested in magic, and has been asking questions about Zhao Yuan, Zhao Yuan, as an eighth-order archmage, has long understood the basic rules, and answered the questions of the Ninth Princess in simple terms, making the Nine Princess's beautiful eyes shine.
The two of them have been chatting, and the delicious desserts in front of them are eating very slowly, Liam has long been experienced, and he ordered seven or eight servings at a time, sitting next to Zhao Yuan and eating boringly. He couldn't understand what the two were saying, but the dessert was delicious and he wasn't idle.
At this moment, two tall figures walked into the small pastry shop, and the eldest prince saw the nine princesses who were particularly conspicuous in the crowd at a glance. She seemed to be amused by the words of the person in front of her, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and a little white shell teeth loomed between her rosy lips, which was indescribably pure and lovely.
The eldest prince was stunned for a while, but in a blink of an eye, he saw the man sitting opposite the ninth princess, he was pale-complexion, thin, and compared to the always strong and tall lion clan, he looked like a fragile little chick. He had an annoying nonchalant smile on his face, but the Ninth Princess was full of admiration for him, and he saw that the nameless anger of the eldest prince rushed straight to his head from his heart.
He strode forward, reaching out to lift the man up, and the subordinates behind him tried to stop him, but they couldn't stop the great prince on the verge of rage.
However, at the moment when the eldest prince stretched out his hand, a sudden change occurred, and a flame suddenly ignited from the eldest prince's hand, and the eldest prince felt that his hand was burned by the flames, and his skin and flesh were burning, and a sharp pain penetrated into his heart. He couldn't help but scream and flapped his hands around him indiscriminately, trying to extinguish the flames. But the flame seemed to identify him, no matter what he did, it was useless, sticking to his hand and burning vigorously.
The Ninth Princess hid a look of satisfaction in her eyes, and turned to look at Zhao Yuan with adoring eyes: "Your Excellency Zhao Yuan, your spells are really exquisite, I haven't seen you cast spells!" The eldest prince has always regarded her as a thing in his pocket, which made the arrogant Ninth Princess very disgusted in his heart, and now seeing that he was punished by Zhao Yuan lightly, there was an indescribable joy in his heart, and there was a faint trace of expectation- If such a strong man can become her husband, then won't she have to deal with those lustful people in the future, and only have to be the wife of the high-ranking archmage with peace of mind?
Zhao Yuan didn't say anything, just calmly looked at the big prince who was running around the store, and when there was already a smell of barbecue in the air, Zhao Yuancai hooked the corner of his lips, and the flame on the big prince's hand was immediately extinguished, but his whole hand was already charred as carbon, and blood was dripping.
I saw a white light flying out of Zhao Yuan's hand, which fell on the hand of the eldest prince, making him feel a stream of * as if a small insect was crawling around in his arm, and the eldest prince was crying wolf again, and it took a quarter of an hour to stop, and everyone was surprised to find that unconsciously, the eldest prince's hand was already intact, but his complexion was still a little pale, and there was an obvious color difference with his bronze arm.
After this catastrophe, the eldest prince didn't even dare to look in the direction of Zhao Yuan, and fled with his subordinates and left this shop. Seeing that the eldest prince had left, Zhao Yuan was not in the mood to continue chatting in the eyes of everyone, and asked Liam to leave enough money to repair the shop and leave.
The ninth princess looked at his departing back, her eyes were shining, she didn't know what she was thinking, she was stunned, and after a while, she got up and left gracefully in the midst of everyone's discussions.
As soon as Zhao Yuan returned to the Second Prince's Mansion, he told him about meeting the eldest prince, and Mason frowned: "It seems that someone behind him wants to take the opportunity to stir up trouble!"
Liam was stunned and said, "I thought you brought the eldest prince here, so that His Excellency Zhao Yuan could show his hand!"
Zhao Yuanxin said that he thought the same way, but he heard Mason hate iron and steel: "Liam, you can have a snack, now that the mother family of the eldest prince is strong, our strength is still inferior to that of the eldest prince, only when you and the second highness become berserkers, we will have the qualifications to compete." Now it is we who are provoking the incident, and it is we who suffer. ”
Zhao Yuan always thought that the strength of the eldest prince and the second prince were comparable, but he didn't expect that there would be such a hidden secret. "But after today's incident, the eldest prince should not dare to trouble us in the short term, so let's solve the matter on the Ninth Princess's side first. ”
Mason nodded, "Looks like I've got you covered." ”
Three days later, the second prince's mansion held a banquet, saying that it was to congratulate the second prince on his physical recovery, and also to thank many friends for taking care of them these days, and sending out invitations.
The ninth princess was naturally also invited, and today, she specially dressed up, hoping to meet Zhao Yuan at the banquet of the second prince. Since the last time the eldest prince happened, Zhao Yuan had never been to that pastry shop, which made the ninth princess very lonely, and she also held a grudge against the troublesome eldest prince in her heart.
As soon as she entered the Second Prince's Mansion, the Ninth Princess attracted everyone's attention, she wore a light blue skirt today, the skirt was decorated with crystals and pearls, which looked shiny and beautiful, like a delicate lotus flower standing in a pavilion.
However, to the disappointment of the ninth princess, Zhao Yuan did not appear at the banquet, and she suddenly felt bored, leaving the lively crowd alone and walking towards the quiet place in the mansion.
Just as she walked under a flower tree and looked at the lush flowers on the tree, a voice suddenly appeared behind her: "Ninth Princess, you are here!"
The ninth princess was startled, and when she looked back, it was the eldest prince who had followed her here. The ninth princess's face turned cold, and she didn't pay attention to the eldest prince, turned around and left.
But I didn't expect that the next moment, the ninth princess was dragged back by the eldest prince, the eldest prince grabbed the slender arm of the ninth princess tightly with his palm, almost half-hugged her in his arms, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Ninth princess, we are about to be husband and wife, why are you so cold to me?"
The ninth princess couldn't help but be angry: "Who wants to be married to you, wishful thinking, don't let go quickly!"
The words of the ninth princess made the eldest prince angry for a while, and he scolded: "You shameless woman, if you don't marry me, do you want to marry my useless second brother? Or do you want to marry that human mage." Let me tell you, you are a pawn of the marriage between the fox clan and the lion clan! Zhao Yuan is just a human race, even if he is an eighth-order archmage, what if he is not a member of our lion clan, don't even think about it!" he looked at the ninth princess's face that was more delicate than a flower, and couldn't help but lean down to kiss the ninth princess. The ninth princess was furious, but she couldn't push him away, and she was about to succeed, but suddenly heard a voice like a heavenly sound: "Great prince, it looks like your hands are almost good." ”
