Luck is a Charm

Chapter 236: Camellia Family (II)

Zen was sweating nervously when Krista Dragoon mentioned Leon Camellia again.

Their first meeting ended up in a disaster as Zen threatened to cripple Leon Camellia if he dared to offend him next time.

"Well, it's his fault for picking a fight with me." Zen shrugged his shoulders as he was not wrong with the method he dealt with him.

"He picked a fight with you? If I remember correctly you were the one who lost your cool and got really mad." Krista Dragoon teased and her heart started beating rapidly when she reminisced about the incident.

The feeling of being protected by someone dearly is something that would melt her heart when being stuck in a scheming kingdom every day.

"He picked a fight with me because of you Krista so I'm innocent," Zen smiles cheekily as he embraces her.

Afterward, Zen started kissing Krista Dragoon on the cheek. Krista Dragoon allowed him to kiss for a while before standing up.

Krista Dragoon walked over to a counter and opened a drawer before retrieving a recommendation letter out.

"Right here is the Kasio family recommendation letter." Krista Dragoon said and threw the recommendation letter at Zen.

Zen grabbed the recommendation letter in his hand before laughing heartily.

"Heh, I want to see who can actually give me a hard time," Zen was confident enough to win the entire thing.

After all, the mages have a huge weakness and that is close-quarter combat. 

'I can just cast some wind magic to block the audience's view while I teleport behind the mage and smack the heck out of them to win.' Zen exclaimed inwardly as he made a silly face as he imagined the announcer shouted for his victory.

Krista Dragoon was disgusted at his current expression. Thus, she walked forward before making a karate chop motion at his head.

Boink!

Krista Dragoon smacked Zen's head, causing him to return to reality from his daydream.

"Stop daydreaming and tell me when would Daphne Camellia inform you to go there." Krista Dragoon then asked.

"Hmm, she said would tell her father but exactly when I don't know," Zen said awkwardly since he didn't really bother about this much.

Krista Dragoon was rendered speechless at how careless he can be. "You need to start changing your behavior and attitude toward things. For some people, the things you don't care about could be something important for another person."

And she continued, "Since Daphne Camellia has promised you to have an audience with her father then we shall make a visit to them now."

Afterward, Krista Dragoon dragged Zen out of the room, shocking Lynette as she didn't know where they were going.

"Princess Krista Dragoon, you still have a meeting with other nobles in 30 minutes," Lynette chased after Krista Dragoon and remind her schedule.

"Those nobles arrange it for another time," Krista Dragoon stopped her movement briefly before telling Lynette to cancel their meeting.

In her opinion, those nobles combined won't even amount to the Camellia family influence. After all, they were practically trash that the empress discarded and refused to use.

Hence, she couldn't care less about making a new appointment with them or even lose them as an ally.

However, Lynette who didn't know the full story held a disbelief expression as she dashed forward and glared at Zen fiercely.

"What did you do to Princess Krista?" Lynette shouted in anger.

She believed it was because of his influence that is trying to distract Krista Dragoon from doing something important.

"Princess Krista Dragoon, please stop being acquainted with Zen. He is causing you to lose focus on important tasks." Lynette tilted her head slightly to stare at Krista Dragoon with a pleading expression.

Zen had enough of her attitude even if she is doing this for Krista Dragoon's well-being.

He was accompanying Krista Dragoon to the Camellia family yet Lynette accused him of being a bad influence for Krista Dragoon is going overboard.

"Listen, Lynette," Zen stepped up with a solemn expression and said. "We are heading over to the Camellia family. One of the top 3 noble families in the Jade Kingdom and Krista is following me because I have an audience with their patriarch."

Lynette became dumbfounded and glanced at Krista Dragoon who calmly nodded her head to prove Zen's word was correct.

"Lynette, we were heading off to the Camellia family because Zen managed to win a bet against their precious daughter, Daphne Camellia." Krista Dragoon said softly and continued.

"I have been having some difficulty to find an excuse to show up to the top 3 noble families but thanks to Zen, we now have a legitimate reason to meet with the patriarch of the Camellia family."

Lynette's complexation paled when she realized her impulsive action almost caused a big disaster for Krista Dragoon.

However, her current crisis now was to deal with Zen's fierce glare as she lifted her head up slightly to face him.

"I-I'm sorry for mistaking you." Lynette bowed and apologized to Zen.

"Sigh, this is just ridiculous at this point." Zen sighed softly and continued, "I know you care about Krista but you need to remain cool when we first meet at the entrance."

Lynette stayed quiet as she got nothing else to explain other than the fact that she cared more about Krista Dragoon than herself.

Anything related to Krista Dragoon would cause her emotion to fluctuate and make her lose focus from time to time.

"Anyway, if you're worried about me then why not come along with me, Lynette?" Krista Dragoon patted her shoulders and smiled.

"What about Princess Leila Dragoon then? I can't just leave her alone in the Peace Blossom Court," Lynette shook her head as she needed to stay here to protect her.

Krista Dragoon pondered for a while before nodding her head. "Okay then, please protect Leila Dragoon while I'll be out in the meantime."

Afterward, she left the Peace Blossom Court with Zen to go toward the Camellia family.
