"You don't seem to care?" Xu Ke squinted at her.
"Why should I?"
"I just told a princess that I killed someone."
"Was that supposed to scare me?"
"Hah… So a white-haired royalty that wasn't scared of someone like me. Let me guess… Are you General Bai?"
The smirk on Xu Ke's face made her snort. As expected, the man had always been smart. This was why the king told her to just show him that he was a she. The king knew that this Xu Ke was very intelligent and would easily figure it out.
"I see… so you are indeed General Bai. There were rumors that the peculiar General had always been strange, different from other men. Who would have thought that he was actually a she? And a beautiful princess at that."
"You already know my name… but you have failed to introduce yourself."
"Call me Xu."
"From the Xu Family?" she feigned surprise. "The heir of the Xu Family? Are you Xu Ke?"
"It seems that I am not the only one that was very much informed about everything?"
Lyca didn't respond as she watched the attendant brought the tea for them. She had sensed him watching her, but she didn't care. She wanted to have the pendant back, and unfortunately, Xu Ke might be the only one that knew the location of the moon pendant.
After the attendant left, Xu Ke continued. "I have heard of stories about the Princess' talents when it comes to military strategies. I hope that the princess would one day show me these well-known skills." His body was extremely relaxed to the point of being lazy. She couldn't help but wonder why was he acting this way.
No, the most important thing to ask herself now was… Why is he here? As the heir of the Xu Family, he wouldn't just act as an envoy to an engagement party. His father would never allow that to happen. Xu Ke's presence only meant that he was here to kill someone.
Just like Lyca, Xu Ke was also an assassin who had worked with her multiples times in the past. Isn't that the reason why she started developing feelings for him? They were always together, and the latter refused to let her go without him. When it comes to strength, Xu Ke's skills were considered on top of Lyca's. However, unlike the previous Lyca, this body was quite powerful too, maybe even more powerful than Xu Ke's.
Ye Bai was not just a small soldier. She was a General with a specific set of talents and skills that includes magic, Qi, and even her internal energy have been developed. She was a talented woman who was considered a top general in this Empire.
"I wouldn't want to meet Young Master Xu again." She uttered.
"Why not?"
"I don't like your eyes," she uttered. "I wanted to gouge it since I saw you earlier, but that would make quite the mess."
"You— You are threatening me." He stated before laughing, his melodious laughter was the exact opposite of the evil aura that surrounded him. "How amusing. This was the first time that someone blatantly told me these things."
"Being your first in something… I am taking that as a compliment, Young Master Xu." Of course, she wasn't planning to back down.
Xu Ke gave her a meaningful smile before he drank his tea. He then stared at her cold face. "I think… I like you."
She snorted in response. Aren't these the words that Xu Ke told her before? In the past, this made her blushed like a f*cking tomato! "Well… you are not exactly my type."
"Really? What's not to like?"
"Your shoulders are too broad for my small frame, your eyes looked really sinister, and your hands are a little short and skinny." She frowned when she remembered Shen Qui's words about always liking it big. Why was she thinking of Shen Qui in the middle of all this?
"Hah! How… brutal!" Instead of frowning, Xu Ke only smiled at her. "But I like it!" Excitement shone in his eyes. "I would love a good chase."
Lyca snorted as she drank the tea. Then slowly, her eyes focused on the lake outside of the window. The lights from the small candles that were floating on the lake made the water looked magical.
"Why are you here… Young Master Xu?" she asked, without turning her head to look at him.
"I am currently the Xu Family's envoy." He answered. "But the princess already knows that, right?"
She pursed her lips into a thin line. Just as she expected, Xu Ke was indeed here to kill someone. She had been with this man for too long that she immediately sense the lie in his words.
"Ah… the tea here is indeed good. Would you like to come to have tea with me the day after the banquet?"
Lyca shrugged in response. She was actually looking for a way to make him show her the necklace. However, that would require him to get naked— something that would never happen. "Alright." Lyca kept her silence until Xu Ke finally got tired of talking and told her that he would retire.
As the two were about to leave the bamboo forest, Lyca suddenly had a crazy idea. She stopped walking and stared at the bamboo bridge that they were walking. This bridge should lead them towards the exit of the tea house.
"Is there something wrong?"
Lyca slowly turned towards him before she sent a kick that he quickly dodged. "You are not Young Master Xu." She uttered and watched as he jumped a few feet away from her.
"What— you think I am an impostor?"
Instead of answering his question, Lyca's feet sprang forward. In a few heartbeats, she was already in front of Xu Ke. Her fist immediately started attacking him until he was forced to move back, his direction now towards the lake.
"Tell me! Who are you, and why are you trying to impersonate the Young Master of the Xu Family!?"
