Luck is a Charm

Chapter 214: The Empress Action (II)

"The empress has finally made a move against us after staying silent this entire time," Krista Dragoon said slowly, causing the atmosphere to completely change in the room.

"So the empress has finally acted huh. Did the empress know about the fact that the Kaiso family is under our control now?" Zen sat down in the chair and asked.

Krista Dragoon shook her head. "No, the empress didn't know about that but she knew about our visit to the Kaiso family, and given our grudges, she became a bit suspicious."

'Suspicious?' Zen pondered inwardly before finding the situation a bit ridiculous.

"If I recall correctly we teleported away from the Kaiso family so there's no way the empress would know about our friendly relationship," Zen added.

Meanwhile, Krista Dragoon held a deadpan expression at Zen, almost like she was asking are you serious?

It wasn't just Krista Dragoon looking at Zen like a fool but the other women also twitched their mouths slightly as they couldn't believe he would utter such dumb words.

Zen saw their expression of ridiculing him as he wondered if he said anything stupid aloud.

Thus, he repeated his previous word in his mind before smacking his head when he figured it out.

'Damn, the intense sex with Eleanor must have clouded my mind.' Zen cursed inwardly since his remark about using teleportation away from the Kaiso family could easily be found out by the empress.

After all, Leila Dragoon and Angela managed to leave in the front door without any resistance and he also made a huge scene near the Palace Moon Restaurant with Daphne Camellia's older brother, Leon Camellia.

Any fool would be able to tell that there are no grudges between him and the Kaiso family anymore given the fact he came out unscathed.

"Hmph, as expected of a lustful man that could only think with his lower part. Enjoying the entire day with a beautiful woman like Eleanor must have lowered his intelligence a lot." Krista Dragoon scoffed as she picked up a piece of meat from the dishes to eat in an angry mood.

Zen smiled bitterly as he tried to look at Evie for help and explain things to him.

Evie smiled as she patted Krista Dragoon's shoulder. "Zen has his difficulties, Krista."

Zen brightened up when Evie was willing to save him from this dilemma and reminded himself to do something nice for her.

Alas, his judgment and thinking were way too quick since Evie wasn't finished with her words.

"Zen is too perverted in his mind where he can't keep his pants up and needs to lower it down at every single minute possible," Evie added as she smirked at Zen.

Zen felt like he was being framed for a heinous crime that he didn't even do.

However, he didn't dare to retort and explain that it was Eleanor that restricted him and stripped him naked before making love with him.

Who in their right mind would believe such a scenario if they haven't experienced it themselves?

No one, absolutely zero people would believe his words as that would only make it worse for him.

Thus, Zen could only glare at Eleanor calmly sitting down next to Evie without any intention of helping him out.

'Aren't you very heartless to dump me aside after satisfying your lust?' Zen cursed inwardly as he was punished to sit in the corner all by himself.

"Enough of that lustful bastard Zen, Krista, continue on with the information that your spy gave you about the empress." Angela ignored Zen's pitiful expression as she diverted the topic away from him.

Krista Dragoon was slightly surprised that Angela was interested in politics but nevertheless, Krista Dragoon heaved a soft sigh as she said, "The empress has found a candidate to try and marry us off. That person is none other than the prince from the White Tiger Kingdom."

"W-White Tiger Kingdom?" Zen muttered slowly in confusion and wondered if both the kingdoms had any connection.

Since one is called the Jade Kingdom with a dragon as their symbol whilst the White Tiger Kingdom clearly has a tiger as their symbol which is showcasing two heavenly beasts that always clashed against each other.

"What a cliche and unoriginal scene." 

Zen sighed loudly as he bet the empress decided on this candidate because the White Tiger Kingdom most likely promised to support her position and authority if she married off their princess.

His conjecture was confirmed after Krista Dragoon explained the reason which came to no surprise for anyone in the room since none of them were dumb and unintelligent to figure out this action of the empress.

"The empress must have been desperate to do this kind of action." Angela sneered once Krista Dragoon was finished with her words.

Krista Dragoon nodded her head, "It's not surprising she would do this since my influence is getting more powerful by the day thanks to Evie supporting me."

"Hoh, I did nothing at all Krista. I'm merely a Madam in the Palace Moon Restaurant and nothing more." Evie chuckled softly as she waved her hand, unwilling to claim any credits.

Meanwhile, Zen held a bittersweet taste in his mouth when he got disregarded completely. Not even a grateful or thankful tone coming from Krista Dragoon.

'Hmph, why am I even here when I'm not helpful at all?' Zen exclaimed inwardly as he decided to leave the Jade Kingdom.

Given the fact that Krista Dragoon has a platinum card and its frightening ability, Zen has no doubt that she would be smooth sailing from now on to the throne of the Jade Kingdom.

Hence, he should no longer be needed at all since he could also summon some of his shadows to assist her from afar.

"Since everything is basically under Krista's control now, I guess it's time for my role to be dismissed," Zen stood up and said slowly before continuing.

"I shall be leaving the Jade Kingdom tomorrow and head to the Swift Feather Kingdom."
