He sized up Ye Yinzhu from head to toe, clearly not remembering the incident at the city gate.
A proud young man of his stature wouldn’t bother to remember such a trivial matter at the city gates.
Noticing that the place on the left side of Ye Yinzhu’s chest, where a magic emblem should be, was empty, a trace of disdain flashed in the red-haired youth’s eyes.
A mage not wearing an emblem could mean only two things: either they had just bee a mage and their rank was too low, or they were a powerful mage who did not want their strength revealed by their badge.
In the eyes of the red-haired youth, Ye Yinzhu clearly belonged to the former category.
Little did he know that besides receiving a junior mage’s badge, Ye Yinzhu had never been appraised by the Mage’s Guild.
“Mage, I am Prince Barde of the Red Lion of the Bo Pang Kingdom.
The Imperial Suite is very spacious, give one room to me,” Barde said to Ye Yinzhu with a manding tone, making no attempt to be polite.
Ye Yinzhu didn’t want to cause trouble because he didn’t want to attract attention, but he was certainly not afraid of it.
He calmly replied, “Prince?
Doesn’t the Prince know what it means to arrive first?
This is Landias, not Bo Pang.”
With that, he took the room key and headed straight for the luxurious solid wood staircase not far away.
“Stop.” Barde was furious.
He had not expected such a minor mage to defy him even after he had revealed his identity.
An oppressive aura burst forth from his body, enveloping Ye Yinzhu and making the air in the hotel lobby seem to heat up.
The three Divine Beasts following Ye Yinzhu turned around almost simultaneously.
Among the temperaments of the Divine Beasts, Zi Shen was steadfast and resolute, Ming was gentle and serene, and Glacis was much more impulsive and irritable.
With an angry snort, Glacis took a step forward as two brutal lights erupted from his fierce eyes in an instant.
Red Lion moved a step across to stand in front of Barde, but when its gaze met with Glacis’s, the Advanced rank Nine magical beast immediately felt a suffocating bloodthirsty aura charging towards it.
Even though Glacis was holding back as much as he could, Red Lion couldn’t help but stiffen.
Just as the atmosphere was being increasingly tense and seemed about to explode at any moment, a pleasant voice came from the side, “Isn’t that Prince Barde?
What are you doing?”
Both parties of seven turned their gazes towards the source of the voice, only to see two young women approaching them.
One of them was the blue-clad beauty Ye Yinzhu had encountered at the hotel entrance.
However, it was the white-clad woman beside her who now caught Ye Yinzhu’s attention.
Her?
Why is it her?
Ye Yinzhu was startled.
The arrival of the woman in white somehow made him feel somewhat uneasy.
The blue-clad girl approached Barde and bowed slightly, a very standard noble curtsy.
Seeing her, Barde also paused, “Oh, if it isn’t Miss Kleyena.”
Kleyena glanced at Ye Yinzhu next to her and felt a slight stir in her heart—this mage’s temperament was extraordinary!
“Your Highness, Prince,” Kleyena asked with a hint of puzzlement in her eyes.
Barde’s face showed a trace of embarrassment, “I am here to participate in this year’s Landias Empire’s arts and martial petition.
I’ve just arrived in Landias City and was looking for a place to stay.”
Kleyena expressed surprise, “All noble, especially royal, visitors to the Empire have acmodations arranged.
What brings you here?”
Barde replied, “I really don’t want to be staying with those people.
They talk politics all day long, which is incredibly boring.
It’s better to find my own place to stay.
I’ve stayed in this hotel before and had a good impression of it, so I came over.
I didn’t expect to see you here.
Who is this lady?” As he spoke, Barde’s gaze landed on the white-clad woman next to Kleyena.
Kleyena herself was undoubtedly beautiful, but standing next to the woman in white, she seemed to fade into the background, like a green leaf set off by a red flower.
Her skin was so fair it seemed to reflect the sunlight; her golden hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.
Her gaze was pure, her stunning face exuding an indescribable aura of sanctity.
What was most surprising was that her beauty did not evoke the usual desires in men; instead, her sacred aura inspired a protective instinct.
Even Barde, accustomed to high status, felt somewhat ashamed in her presence.
Kleyena, obviously very well-mannered, didn’t show any displeasure at Barde’s attention to the girl beside her, and she smiled, “This is my good friend Marina.
She’s e specifically to watch the petition.”
Barde did not recognize the name Marina, but the strong aura of brightness about her made him understand that she was no ordinary girl.
Little did he know that Marina’s identity was far from ordinary.
As the direct disciple of the Tower Master Aubrey of the Light Tower, one of Faran’s Seven Towers, this Holy Woman of the Saintess of Light had a status in the Continent’s Magic Realm…
Ye Yinzhu’s curiosity matched his own; if Faran was sealed off, why had the Saintess of Light appeared here?
Marina conveyed a warm smile towards Barde, who quickly responded with a nod of his head.
Kleyena said, “Your Highness, Prince, I’ve seen what just happened.
Indeed, it was this gentleman mage who arrived first.
How about this?
There are several other hotels nearby that belong to our family, and their environment is no worse than this place.
Let me arrange acmodation for you.”
Not wanting to offend Kleyena and needing to show some magnanimity in front of the ladies, Barde thought to himself, wondering if the Phoenix Princess was as beautiful as Marina.
Even if she was only somewhat similar to Kleyena, his trip would not have been in vain.
After all, marrying the Princess of the Landias Empire carried much more political significance than other matches.
But as a man, of course, the more beautiful his wife, the better.
“Since Miss Kleyena has already suggested it, Prince Barde has no choice but to graciously acquiesce,” he replied.
Kleyena smiled and said, “Thank you, Your Highness.
Please wait a moment, and after I speak with my sister Marina, I’ll take you there.”
Barde, showing a bit of gentlemanly grace, nodded.
His gaze swept over Ye Yinzhu, a fierce light flashing in his eyes, before he walked outside with Red Lion in tow.
Kleyena’s eyes drifted to Ye Yinzhu, “Mister Mage, you’d better restrain yourself.
Although this is Landias, Prince Barde of the Red Lion is not so easy to offend.
I can help you this time, but it doesn’t mean you’ll always be so lucky.” Her voice was soft, but it carried an implied warning that Ye Yinzhu might be overestimating himself.
Ye Yinzhu smiled indifferently, “Thank you, Miss.” With those simple words, he turned and left with the three Divine Beasts as if the incident had nothing to do with him.
Watching Ye Yinzhu and his panions leave, Kleyena couldn’t help stamping her foot in frustration.
“What’s with him?
I help him, and he acts like he wants to keep everyone at a thousand miles’ distance.”
Marina smiled slightly and said, “Little sister, I’m afraid you’ve misjudged this time.
That mage is not simple.
Even if you hadn’t appeared, he would have been able to solve the problem.”
“Hmm?” Kleyena looked at Marina in surprise, “He’s so young.
Sister, you’re not going to tell me he’s a powerful mage, are you?”
Marina said, “Whether he’s a powerful mage, I cannot be certain, but the servant who stepped forward just behind him managed to suppress Prince Barde’s Red Lion in terms of aura.
Could an ordinary mage have such a formidable servant?
If the servant is already so, how could the master be anything less?”
Only then did Marina realize, casting a curious glance in the direction where Ye Yinzhu had disappeared, “Sister, you rest first.
I will e back to find you after escorting Barde.”
Standing outside the hotel waiting for Marina, Barde’s anger had not yet subsided, “A mere mage dares to defy me; if this were in Bo Pang, I would have torn him to pieces long ago.”
“Calm down, Barde.
This Landias really is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers lie.
That young mage we saw just now is not simple.
His servant is likely a rank Nine magical beast,” the tall Red Lion spoke calmly.
“What?” The thought astonished Barde.
“I’m not mistaken in my feeling.
That ferocious aura is something only a magical beast would have.
When I clashed with him just now, I feared his strength was not beneath mine.
As for the young mage, I couldn’t see through him either.
In Landias, we’d better be careful.”
Upon hearing Red Lion’s words, Barde couldn’t help but feel chilled to the core, nodding subconsciously.
Inside the hotel.
“Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, why did you stop me just now?
If I had taught that little lion a lesson, he would not dare to be so arrogant again,” Glacis plained somewhat discontentedly.
Zi shot him a look, “Now’s not the time to cause trouble.
You better behave yourself.
If you stir up something, you’ll go hungry, no food for you.”
“That… Zi Boss, I know you wouldn’t treat your brother like that.
Okay, okay, I’ll bear with it.
Oh, by the way, I heard on the way here that Landias’s duck blood soup with cellophane noodles is quite delicious.
How about we go and get a few dozen pots to try?”
Zi glanced at him irritably and said, “Eat, eat, that’s all you think about.
Didn’t Yinzhu just play the Peiyuan Calm Heart Melody yesterday to restore your energy?”
Glacis sheepishly smiled, “I’m just used to eating.
Besides, eating a bit more will help make a good impression for His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, right?”
Although the Imperial Suite was expensive, there was no denying that it truly deserved its price of a thousand gold coins.
