Luck is a Charm

Chapter 266: Woman in the Garden

Krista Dragoon held a gawking expression as she looked at Zen.

"S-So you have been harboring dirty thoughts about Leila since the beginning?' Krista Dragoon asked as she punched his chest lightly.

"You're only half correct." Zen stopped her punching with his hand.

Afterward, he flipped her over and got on top of her as he smiled, "Not only did I harbor dirty thoughts about Leila, I have also harbor dirty thoughts about you."

Krista Dragoon's face flushed upon hearing Zen teasing tone as she tried to push him away.

"Why are you embarrassed now?" Zen chuckled softly at Krista Dragoon for acting like some innocent girl.

"I-I'm not embarrassed."

"Oh really, then why is your face flushed red?"

Krista Dragoon avoided his gaze as she tried to reach for a blanket to cover herself.

Alas, it was only a futile effort when she was pinned down by Zen as he stared deeply into her eyes.

"I may have multiple women and it's true that I have become a womanizer. However, I can promise you that I have always loved each and every one of you." Zen said in a solemn expression.

Krista Dragoon didn't reply to his solemn response as she tilted her head.

Zen made an evil grin upon seeing her behavior as he directly kissed her and stripped her naked.

Afterward, he made love with her for the entire night until morning arrived.

"You're such a pervert that can't control your lust." Krista Dragoon complained as her legs became shaky.

Zen smiled kindly as he massaged her ample breast softly while having her head leaning in his shoulder.

"Well, who told you to keep moaning in such delight that I couldn't help myself?" Zen then said as he reminded Krista Dragoon about her erotic moans throughout the night.

"Hmph, enough of that crap and start getting ready. Most of the participants have already arrived at the Jade Kingdom for the upcoming mage tournament." Krista Dragoon knew she couldn't win against him regarding their love session so she decided to change the topic.

Zen nodded his head slowly as he gladly complied with her sudden change of topic.

"I have already studied the list you gave me last time and none seemed to be a real threat. However, I'm currently debating if I should even fight in the mage tournament now." Zen said calmly.

After all, the reason why he wanted to participate in the mage tournament was for the reward that could help Cecilia.

However, it is no longer relevant to him now that Cecilia has a physical body and he could feel that she is still within the mysterious space to hide from others.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon raised an eyebrow as she was confused on why Zen has a sudden change of mind.

"Didn't you act extremely frantic about having a spot in the mage tournament?" Krista Dragoon asked in shock as she continued.

"It wasn't easy to get you a spot even if the Kaiso family gave me the recommendation letter as this will not only affect you but the Jade Kingdom as a whole."

Zen smiled bitterly as he wondered how he would affect the Jade Kingdom as a whole.

Krista Dragoon was rendered speechless when she saw Zen's dazed expression.

"As expected of a lustful man like you. Not knowing the consequences of your impulsive action," Krista Dragoon sighed softly as she glared at him to explain things to him.

"Although there are a lot of participants in the mage tournament, each individual represents their family and most importantly, their kingdom. Also, the list has been given out to important people only, meaning that the participants are final and no additional changes could be made."

Zen nodded his head silently as he waited for Krista Dragoon to continue her explanation.

"The winner of the mage tournament would not only boost the winner's reputation but the kingdom they are representing from. Hence, no one would dare to treat the mage tournament lightly or a game like you did Zen."

Krista Dragoon was about to say more when Lynette suddenly knocked on the door.

"Come in," Krista Dragoon said unconsciously, without knowing her current position is ambiguous since Zen was embracing her.

Lynette entered the room once she received permission and was shocked a bit to see Krista Dragoon being hugged by Zen in an intimate manner.

Krista Dragoon also realized at this moment as she quickly struggled away from Zen and tidied her clothes slightly.

Afterward, she looked at Lynette and asked, "What's the matter, Lynette?"

Krista Dragoon's tone was calm and collected, almost like she wasn't being embraced by Zen previously.

Lynette ignored the previous scene in her mind as she said, "There have been some conflicts regarding some families in the alliance. Apparently, they had a dispute and wished for Princess Krista to make an appearance to be the mediator."

Krista Dragoon rubbed her temples slightly when she heard Lynette's news.

"Those old fogeys really can't do anything useful except making more troublesome tasks for me to fix." Krista Dragoon cursed loudly as she stared at Zen.

"Go ahead, Krista. I'm fine already and I can stroll around the imperial court." Zen smiled at her and allowed her to leave.

As much as he wanted to be cozy with her, Zen knew there are times that one should focus on their task and not delay it.

Krista Dragoon nodded her head and left with Lynette shortly after.

"Welp, time to explore around the imperial court," Zen said and got up.

Sometime later, Zen started walking around the imperial court before halting his movement when he noticed a garden, filled with many beautiful flowers.

However, the thing that caught Zen's attention was the woman in front that was watering a particular flower.

A flower that Zen never expected to be able to witness in his life again.

"Excuse my intrusion but may I ask for the flower name?" Zen suddenly said as he walked toward the woman that slowly turned around in surprise at his sudden appearance.
