Luck is a Charm

Chapter 231: Lynette

The maid was dumbfounded to see Zen retrieving a platinum card out in the middle of a fight.

'Did he give up already?' The maid pondered inwardly since she doesn't get his action.

Meanwhile, Zen's wicked grin became wider as he noticed the maid's confusion on his platinum card.

'Heh, as expected of a platinum card. Despite its reputation, not many people are capable or eligible enough to know it.' Zen exclaimed inwardly without realizing he was one of the ignorant people before.

"Maid, your spell is pretty annoying but I got something even better for you," Zen glanced at the maid and shouted evilly.

The maid twitched her brows slightly on his confidence, "You're struggling already but still have the galls to shout. I'll have to say, I'm amazed by your shamelessness."

Afterward, the maid increased her speed in casting as she made more magic spells to fire toward Zen.

Zen was dumbfounded by the sheer amount of spells she can cast at once without exhausting her mana.

'What the fuck is her mana capacity? This maid is definitely an abnormal being.' Zen cursed inwardly at how unfair Heaven is to bless one maid with this kind of power.

"Listen, maid, if you surrender now then I shall spare you from the humiliation you will receive," Zen shouted as he dodged to the left to avoid the spells.

"Why would I surrender when you're about to be defeated?" The maid questioned him back and continued to chant.

"You forced my hand then," Zen smirked as he activated the platinum card restriction ability.

BANG!

As soon as the restriction activates, all the spells that the maid cast was destroyed in an instant while she collapsed on the ground, powerless.

The maid paled as she didn't understand what just happened. Lifting her head up with much difficulty, she glared at Zen with a complicated expression.

"What did you do to nullify all my spells?" The maid said.

Zen shrugged his shoulders as he stepped forward and kneel slightly to meet her face.

"What do you think I did?" Zen asked cheekily as he played around with the platinum card in his hand.

The maid held a disbelief expression as she could never expect a mere platinum card was enough to defeat her in an instant.

"Just kill me now, I have failed on my duty to protect Princess Krista Dragoon and Princess Leila Dragoon," The maid said as she closed her eyes to wait for Zen to make the finishing move.

After all, she believed Zen to be an intruder since he was unwilling to cooperate with her and even resorted to violence.

If he were really the person that Krista Dragoon was expecting then he would have just gladly complied with her interrogation and everything would be smooth.

This was the mindset that the maid had when she fought against Zen with her utmost effort to detain him.

Meanwhile, Zen twitched his mouth slightly at the naive and diligent maid. 

"You still don't believe I'm Zen after all this time?" Zen said as he facepalmed.

The maid ignored his word as she kept her eyes closed. There was no point in arguing any further as she only wished for the princesses to get away safely.

Zen saw her resolution before making a defeated sigh as he deactivated the platinum card's restriction on the maid.

Afterward, he stood up and said, "Believe it or not but I'm the Zen that Krista is looking for."

And he continued, "Also, I believe Krista has forgotten to mention about this but one of the things I hate the most is waiting on something pointless which is why I decided to barge in when the interrogation is a waste of time."

The maid was dumbfounded as she got her strength back and stood up and saw Zen opening the door.

"Wait a minute," The maid shouted from behind and dashed forward as she stood in front of Zen.

Zen twitched his brows slightly and thought the maid wanted another fight. 

"Listen, I don't want to harm Krista's maid or her allies at all so please just stop this farce already." Zen sighed softly and asked politely to let him inside already.

However, the maid refused to back down and said, "Lynette that's my name."

Zen was dumbfounded to see the maid finally told him her name and nodded. 

"Then Lynette, may you please move aside and let me meet up with Krista already. She has something for me." Zen asked again.

Zen expected Lynette to agree now that she has given him her name but instead, she shook her head, causing Zen to have a headache.

"I'm sorry but you can't enter inside," Lynette said and before Zen can become irritated, she continued.

"You must have a maid and in that case, me to guide you inside otherwise, Princess Krista Dragoon and Princess Leila Dragoon would blame us for bad hospitality to our guests."

"By your words, I believe you recognized me as Zen then?" Zen asked to confirm if she finally believed him to be the person that Krista mentioned.

Lynette nodded and said, "As a maid, it's my duty to eliminate any possible suspect that could potentially harm their master."

And she continued, "Hence, even if there's a 90 percent chance that you are the person that Princess Krista Dragoon is waiting for we must do our duty to determine you aren't an imposter."

"Then how did you determine I'm not an imposter now? I could have easily spared your life to not look suspicious." Zen retorted as he wanted to see how she would react to this question.

Lynette shrugged her shoulders as she didn't have an answer to that question. 

"..."

Seeing Zen's reaction, Lynette pondered for a few moments before staring at Zen, "Just a maid's instinct I guessed."

Zen was rendered speechless by the response and coughed slightly to divert the topic.

"In that case, then may Lynette please guide me inside to meet with Krista?" Zen said calmly and Lynette nodded her head.
