[She is still expressing her dislike in her own way.]

Su Yuhan chuckled at his own thought.

After all they already fixed a time beforehand and even though he came at the right time, she still asked for an hour.

Rather than disrespect that was just her way of conveying her loathe. And this was definitely not the first time judging from the prince's reaction.

An hour passed like that and the butler, Carl returned once again with a kind smile on his face.

"Your Royal Highness Yuhan, Her Royal Highness will be arriving in a minute. Please follow me to the dining room."

Seeing the 'kind' old man once again, Su Yuhan said with a pleasant smile

"Please lead the way, Uncle Carl."

The old man nodded and led the four to a lavish room. From the metals used to make the furniture to the clothes used for carpets every single one could be said to be rare treasures in the Zahrah Province.

Yet none of the four following the butler had any changes in their expressions.

Strange thing about this room was that, there were multiple tables. Though the color of the tables were different.

The chair were Su Yuhan sat was of gold color while the others sat in a little distance were of silver color. This was to differentiate the status of the people in the room.

Carl left once again. But he returned within few minutes this time.

This time he opened the door of the room and bowed ninety degree, completely different from the slight bow towards Su Yuhan.

This was how he showed his respect to his master.

A woman of around 25 year old entered the room. But as soon as she entered the movements of Su Yuhan froze. (A/N1)

It was not just him. Even the two guards and the butler following Su Yuhan froze.

It seemed as if time stopped for a moment. The woman who entered had long golden hair touching her waist.

Her golden colored eye scanning the room as if no one was worth her time. And even if it was disrespectful, none of them felt adverse to it.

She wore a black color sheath dress with just few ornaments which were most likely treasures.

Coupled with her cold temparament and otherworldly beauty it seemed she was truly able to stop someone's breath just with a glance.

The first one to recover was the old butler who followed Su Yuhan, who immediately lowered his head. He knew how lethal her looks were.

It was only after she reached the table did Su Yuhan woke up from his reverie.

Even if he didn't turn around he could feel the jealous glances of the guard. Especially the duke's son.

[I knew she was said to be the most beautiful woman in the younger generation on the entire continent but this exceeds any and every kind of imagination...]

The duke's son thought to himself while still glancing enviously at his 'lord'.

Su Yuhan felt a little proud and he immediately stood with his most handsome smile and said

"You are still as beautiful as ever, my dear."

She already sat down without even glancing him for another second. He did not give up and continued

"You know, you are so gorgeous and that is the least interesting thing about you."

With those cheesy lines, he hoped for a reaction from her. And he indeed got a reaction.

He saw her looking at him. But he did not get the desired reaction.

Instead he saw a small frown on her face. She said

"Please don't beat around the bush, Prince Yuhan."

With her status one would not expect her to say 'Your Royal Highness'. After all both of their statuses were the same.

"You are hurting me my dear. Don't be such a stranger."

Su Yuhan said with a 'sad' expression on his face. Seeing he did not get any reply from his fiancee he stopped his little act as to not embarrass himself any further.

He took a deep breath and stated his purpose

"Eva, come with me to the empire. You have already been in this backwater place for more than ten years."

"You are just wasting your talent. And.... anyways our marriage date is now coming soon."

"You have to return to the capital."

Yes the golden haired girl in front of him was none other than Eva, the strongest warrior of the Zahrah Province.

She still did not speak. She simple picked a glass of wine and slowly sipped it with her eyes closed.
