The Princess And The Lord

While Lory didn't know how to contact Hei Shen sect at the moment than they decide to search someone with the name Qian Qi Feng, she assumes that man probably Shin Jiu grandfather friends and because he trusts his Grandson to that man she hopes this Qian Qi Feng is a reliable person but nothing for sure now.

The bedroom door suddenly swing Lory coming with a bundle of cloth "Boy, change you're clothes with this but take a bath first!"

​​

Shin Jiu got up from the bed while rubbing his eyes "where have you been?" he asked with hoarse voice.

"Exercise!" she said briefly "You sleep too long, take a bath first then we have breakfast, I need to take a bath too" she turns around and left the room before Shin Jiu can understand what she said, the boy yawn when the tiger licks his chubby finger.

"Okay, okay I'm awake" he moans "Tck, you like her so much you're loyalty begin to shift" he grumbles at his contractual beast and the little kitten roll his eyes with mockery.

Shin Jiu gets off the bed than he opens the bundle in the table, It a brand new clothing and brand new shoes, so his master got out and by all of this for him, the boy mouth curved and he blushes slightly.

After taking a bath Lory sigh, her body feel lighter after she feel fresh and clean. She pick dark blue with white flower embroidery dress from her ring, she realized she needs to look presentable but not conspicuous to able enter the fancy place just in case she needs it, she can't let what happened yesterday repeated again not because is humiliating but it gives her unnecessary attention what if Lao Min Na people notice her or perhaps other people who are chasing Shin Jiu were their, that would give her too much trouble.

The 'mana' start to accumulate again in her body she feel stronger then yesterday, she wears thin makeup on her face but when she touches her hair, her face turns bitter, she remember Zhao Li Xin like to play with her hair that man can make such an intricate and beautiful hairstyle easily while she can't only tide her hair to half-bun hairstyle, Lory sigh again, he missed him dearly.

"Master, let's have breakfast!" shin Jiu sudden called awaked her from a daze.

"You look good, let me brush you're hair" Lory beckoned the little boy to get closer.

Lory brushes his hair and knotted his hair with a jade hair clip, now he looks like a young little master, his appearance even more handsome than before, Shin Jiu can't recognize his own reflection in the mirror, he looks like young noble son!

"Let's go!" Lory rise from her seat and hold his hand, they look very much like a mother and son pair, when they climb down the waiter and the innkeeper stunned, they didn't know they have rich family as they're guest but when they realizes which room there coming from the innkeeper is surprised even more.

They thought they only a humble guest from out of the city but who knew now they look like someone from a rich family, the innkeeper quickly reminds all of his waiters to be polite towards them who knew what kinda background they might have.

When Lory chose the table in the corner they walk past a couple of elders, Lory smile politely to greet them and the elders smile warmly at them, other people who saw them walk past their table also nod they're head politely when they're eyes meet each other.

Lory and Shin Jiu just have a seat when the young waiter tottering toward them with a big smile plastered on his face "Young Miss, young master, what would you like to eat?" the servant is extra nice with them.

"Two chicken congee and steam stuffed bun," Lory said with a kind smile.

"Yes, right away!" The waiter served them warm tea then he gives them courteous bow and leaves in a swift.

Shin Jiu is baffled by how different people treat them from yesterday than he lean towards Lory "Master, why people treat us differently? Yesterday people look us with scorn or sometimes ignores us but why now everyone is so nice?"

Lory smile faintly "Is it because we dress nicely today?"

Shin Jiu frowned in disliked "Just because of clothes, why people so judgmental!" he feel irritated by how people changed their opinion based solely on looks he found that petty and shallow.

Lory smiles she was also thinking like that when she was a kid, she sips her tea calmly and put down the teacup on the table gently "That just how society work and how people judge other people in a short moment"

Shin Jiu still pout, Lory than continue "It is sad but we all judged people by how they look, how they acted and what they wear, do you also feel vigilance when you saw a stranger with a scar on his face and tattered clothes?" she raised his eyebrows.

"That….that is not the same…" he stubbornly refuted her.

"I told you that man is only a normal hunter but you don't believe me turns out that man is so kind he feel bad for us and share his hunt with us" Lory remind him, that situation happened when Lory and shin Jiu left the village and they accidentally meet a hunter inside the jungle.

Shin Jiu blush, Lory chuckles "You don't need to be embarrassed that is a normal reaction, especially in high society, first impression is very crucial"

"You mean pretending?" Shin Jiu sarcastically said.

Lory tilted her head didn't feel offended by his words "More like…adapting, the survival of the fittest is not always about who is the strongest but who can adapt faster with the situation"

The waiter comes with a tray of food, they politely served the food before he left, Shin Jiu still feel uneasy with Lory words but the boy didn't know how to refute, he held the spoon and begin to gobble his congee.

"Do you know about Long Ming, the sect leader of Hei Shen sect?" Lory asked.

Shin Jiu nods his head "Yes, Grandpa told me, he said Long Ming is the most powerful man in the continent"

"Do you know Long Ming real identity is?" she asked again.

Shin Jiu quiet for a second he tries to remember than he nods again "Yes, he is the Sixth Prince of Jiang Wei Kingdom, I heard he have severe illness people said he was dying but I guess that's not true"

"No, he really does sick and dying the truth is he can't even reach twenty-five," Lory said calmly while taking another spoon of congee.

Shin Jiu gasped "How…how did you know?"

"For decade as Long Ming, he hides his illness in front of public and his enemy but as a Sixth Prince he used his illness to cover his strength from other people and he become a jokes in his own kingdom but he doesn't care he adapted with the situation around him if only Long Ming enemy knew how severe his illness and the royalty knew how powerful he is, can you imagine what kinda situation he must encounter at that time?"

Shin Jiu pressed his lips together, then he stare at her again "Is he still sick master?"

Lory giggles "Of course not, that's why he dare to divulged his real identity" Lory take the steam bun and divide it for her and Shin Jiu "People had lost their chance to subdue him, he used his ability to adapt with the situation and waiting for the right moment and that's my disciple…..he become the strongest person in the continent" Lory make solemn smile.

Shin Jiu still on a daze when he receives the half steam bun, he immerses in deep thought and Lory understands the little boy needs more time to digest her lesson.

The boy is smart and kind but he is too honest and gullible she worried people would take advantage of him especially with so many sacred beasts he possessed the little boy future is far from simple and that only makes her more worry for him and that's why she teaches him like Fredhard used to teach her because just like that boy her future prove far from simple too.
