Chapter 52: Little plum, Stop setting me on fire! Part3
A golden robed elf with soft flowing silver hair sat atop a mahogany desk.
Several parchments were laid out in front of him on the ornately carved wooden desk.
The intricate patterns on his robe seemed to reflect light as it fell on the impeccable figure.
The few strands of silver hair tucked behind his long slender ears framed his exquisite face and added beauty to the already sublime existence.
The man’s delicate features at the moment matched his aura, as he calmly went through one boring report after another.
His blood red eyes which didn’t quite belong in this setting seemed to be the only thing that was out of place.
Not many people knew, but the crown prince’s blood red magnetic orbs were the main reason for his tyrannical nickname.
The orbs, albeit bored, carefully perused through each and every line engraved on the parchment.
Though when placed next to his personal elegant calligraphy, the artistic engravings looked like the lifeless scribblings of a drunkard.
With the serene Guqin music in the air, the man’s thin long brush, soaked in quail’s blood ink, danced on the piece of parchment.
Elegant and beautiful strokes appeared one after another, as he added his invaluable insights to the otherwise dull parchment reports.
His every move, though executed casually and effortlessly, was a sight to behold.
One can get mesmerized and lost while watching the prince work tirelessly even on the trivial matters pertaining to the kingdom.
But suddenly, the man’s slender fingers quivered.
The brush held in his hands paused and the ink on the parchment splotched forming an unusual thick spot on the otherwise unblemished parchment.
The pair of sharpened crimson red eyes flashed open looking ahead at a distance.
There was even a hint of fear and astonishment in them.
“How… How is this possible?”
Xander dropped the brush in his hand, and without wasting any time, leaped up from his desk.
He had just now sensed an unusual presence in the palace��� the presence of a powerful expert… the presence of someone who was at the least above his Demi-God realm.
“Did father awaken from his secluded cultivation?”
“No, that is not possible.”
As Xander’s mind raced with various frightening possibilities, he swiftly dashed towards the source of the disturbance.
Orbs of pure heavenly flames and deadly poisonous miasma swirled around him, ready to be used in combat and defense.
But before the crown prince could even step out of his courtyard, in that split second, the mysterious presence completely disappeared.
It had entirely vanished into nothingness.
No matter how much he tried he couldn’t even sense a slight sliver of the presence.
It was as if it had never existed at all.
Xander’s cold tyrannical facade looked slightly perturbed, and the elf grunted in annoyance.
For some reason, an ominous feeling crept up his heart. Too many unpredictable things have been happening around the palace lately.
The frown on his face deepened as the elf flicked his sleeve in anger and returned back to his courtyard and his parchments.
There was nothing more he could do at the moment. He could only hope that the powerful expert did not harbor any ill intentions towards the elven clan.
Such was the life of a weakling! In front of someone above his realm, even he was a mere weakling!
Xander gritted his teeth and tossed aside the insignificant parchments angrily.
“It is about time I make preparations…” He absent-mindedly muttered, gazing into the distance.
The crown prince might have calmed down, but his sudden appearance in the royal palace, outside of his personal courtyard had created a huge wave of uproar and commotion…
… especially among his ardent fans.
“What? His highness was here?? Why didn’t you tell me sooner??” Charlotte rushed out.
“Damn it.” Isabella rushed out as well.
Within a matter of seconds, fifteen out of the twenty two crown prince’s personal royal consorts rushed out to greet the elusive rare boss monster.
This might be the only chance they get to see him in the near future!
But unfortunately…
The man had already retreated back into his hideout and the princesses had to taste the bitter medicine of disappointment.
The crowd of beautiful female elves looked at each other awkwardly and were forced to exchange empty polite greetings.
Restlessness and defeat flickered in all their eyes uniformly.
Amidst this chaotic scene, Charlotte lively eyes couldn’t help but search for the cunning, vicious, and perverted snake.
Tang Yue was the only spirit beast in the harem and it was almost impossible for her to not stand out.
But still… Charlotte couldn’t find her at all.
The princess then, as per usual, barged into Tang Yue’s chamber…
…only to find it empty.
It looked like the snake had gone off somewhere, probably scheming and coming up with ways to secretly trap her handsome prince! Hmph!
Charlotte grumbled and shut the door before she begrudgingly went back into her chambers.
Meanwhile…
Oblivious to the commotion and unrest she had caused, Tang Yue was still nimbly dancing to the tune of the deadly flames, just barely alive and breathing.
