Luck is a Charm

Chapter 237: Camellia Family (III)

"So Zen- do you know where the Camellia family is located," Krista Dragoon asked once they left the imperial court zone.

She believed that with Zen sense of zero direction, this was a good time to tease him.

However, contrary to her expectation, Zen smiled wickedly as he replied to her question with his own, "Why do you ask? Do you not know where they are?"

Krista Dragoon didn't know about the fact that Zen managed to memorize the map of the Jade Kingdom thanks to Evie's help so she continued to pressure him.

"Do you know the location or not? Answer me already instead of avoiding the question." Krista Dragoon glared fiercely at Zen.

'Heh, you want to tease me for my garbage sense of direction. Let me teach you a lesson for that.' Zen sneered inwardly as he decided to tease her instead.

"What if I know the answer and what if I don't know the answer?" Zen asked as he pretended to sweat nervously in order to trick Krista Dragoon.

Krista Dragoon didn't notice it as she said, "If you answered it correctly then I shall reward you something but if you can't then you will have a little punishment."

The reward and punishment mentioned by Krista Dragoon were vague and could be anything but Zen didn't care since they were just wasting time as they walked toward the Camellia family.

Currently, it was Krista Dragoon walking ahead with Zen following so she decided to take a wrong turn to trick Zen.

If she guessed correctly, Zen would most definitely point in the direction that she just turned into and at that time, she would make him owe her a favor again.

Alas, her expectation was completely shattered when Zen uttered, "Krista, did you forget to bring your brain outside today?"

Afterward, Zen pointed in the opposite direction and said, "The Camellia family is this way and not the path you're trying to take."

Krista Dragoon held a disbelief expression as she never expected Zen to know where the Camellia family is located.

"H-How did you know?" Krista Dragoon asked stutteringly.

Zen chuckled softly as he explained how he wouldn't need to ask anyone for direction anymore.

"Evie handed me the full map of the Jade Kingdom and I have memorized the whole thing already." Zen held an evil grin as he stared at Krista Dragoon.

"Unbelievable, you would actually take the time to study the geography of the Jade Kingdom when I thought your brain is only filled with entering inside a woman." Krista Dragoon was shocked to the core that she didn't even realize something.

Zen was sneakily creeping up from behind Krista Dragoon as he held her waist from behind.

Krista Dragoon gasped in surprise as she quickly tried to free herself from his grasp.

However, Zen refused to let her and whispered softly in her ears, "So what is my reward for answering your question correctly?"

Krista Dragoon became helpless as she said, "Let me go already. We need to finish obtaining the Camellia family as allies first."

Although her answer was albeit unclear, Zen was smart enough to understand her meaning. They would need to get the Camellia family as allies first before he could get the lovely and delicious reward.

"I understand, then let's hurry the hell up," Zen exclaimed as he grabbed her waist and used his movement technique, Flash Point, to go toward the Camellia family at an extreme speed.

Zen didn't want to teleport to arouse any attention from the crowd so he could only resort to using his movement technique which in the eyes of others, he was only using an agility spell to increase his speed.

Krista Dragoon wrapped her hand around his neck as she was being carried by Zen and occasionally glanced around the area in the Jade Kingdom.

'No matter how much time I see this view, I never get bored of it.' Krista Dragoon exclaimed inwardly as she would not be able to handle the fact that the Jade Kingdom could turn into ruin if some mishaps were to occur.

Sometime later, Zen stopped his movement technique as he said, "We have finally arrived at the Camellia family."

Despite his swiftness, it still took him around 10-20 minutes to arrive at the Camellia family. The Jade Kingdom was simply too massive if people didn't have some kind of magic to increase their speed.

After all, it could take an entire day for an ordinary person to go back and forth if they have to walk from their house to somewhere else.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon got down from Zen's arm and glanced at the Camellia family. It was still a magnificent building but it pales in comparison to her Peace Blossom Court.

The guards who were guarding the entrance were shocked to realize it was Krista Dragoon approaching them as one of them quickly went inside to inform the patriarch.

The other guard stepped forward and asked, "What honor do the Camellia family have to make Princess Krista Dragoon come?"

The guard's tone was polite but it was clear he had no intention of letting her enter without permission from their patriarch.

Krista Dragoon didn't say anything and merely sneaked a glance at Zen. Zen nodded and stepped forward to face the guard.

"I'm here to meet with your patriarch because his daughter, Daphne Camellia lost a bet with me," Zen spoke calmly and continued.

"I'm sure that Daphne Camellia should have informed her father already about my arrival."

The guard held a gawking expression as he was never informed about this piece of information. Heck, he didn't even dare to block their miss path so it was a given that they didn't know about this.

Thus, the guard held an apologetic look while remaining in his guarding position. 

"If that's the case then may this gentleman please wait a bit for my other companion to come back to confirm this news." The guard said politely as he tried his best to not offend Zen in case his words were true.
