"What kinda illness that princess had even the court physician can do anything about it?" Lory knew how magical the medicine in this world to the point it's almost comparable with the medicine in her world, for an illness who cannot be cured easily she can't help to feel curious about it.

It was Mong ki who continue the explanation "The rumor said, the princess-like she's in deep sleep, her heartbeat normal, her Qi flowing also normal even her face color still remains the same, exactly like she was sleeping but she still unconscious no matter what other people do she just not awake.

Lory prop her chin while tilted her head "Like Sleeping Beauty?"

"Eh, what?" Mong Ki and Zhao Li Xin ask the same time.

Lory wave her hands "Nothing, it's just a story from my place"

"What kinda story?" Zhao Li Xin becomes interested.

Lory sigh "It's a fairy tail in my place" Lory sip her tea slowly and try to calm herself so she not said too much that make them suspicious with her background "The story goes about a princess who was cursed by evil witch into slumbered for a hundred years, and the curse can only be broken by one true love kiss from a Prince" Lory giggles, she dying to see their reaction.

Mong ki and Zhao Li Xin frowned in disdained, what an awful story they thought, how can a maiden having a kiss by someone who's not her betrothed and a prince nonetheless, what if the prince already had official wife, what if she's from much small and weaker country than her, and she already having intimate relationship with this stranger Prince isn't her reputation would be ruined even before she awake.

"That was….horrifying story….." Mong Ki said with deep concern on his face.

Lory covers her mouth with her hands 'Pffftt…' Lory almost spurt her tea, she can't hold her laughter "So…sory" lory wave her hands desperately, her eyes turn to crescent from laughing too hard

"It is....it's creepy rights" Lory wipe tears on the corner of her eyes, Zhao Li Xin and mong Ki expression are hilarious she can't stop laughing.

People watching her laughing freely without maintaining her image like any normal girl, her behavior is inappropriate, weird but oddly refreshing. This was the first time he sees her laugh freely like this, he like her cheerful expression and the sound her laugh, he doesn't feel anything wrong when she behaved like this.

"Sorry…." Lory covers her mouth shyly, she knew her behavior is improper.

"Don't be, I like it…" his unexpected flirty smiles make Lory blushed heavily.

'Just when I lose my guards down, so unfair!'

Mong Yi arrived and served them three layers 'Xiao Long Bao' on the table that makes Lory's eyes grew wider with excitement, Zhao Li Xin watch her eating with joy like she's eating the best delicacy in the world, he wonders is it as good as it looks, he tries one of the steamed Xiao long Bao and what do you know, is not that bad at all.

"You know, the Sleeping beauty has another side story..." Lory' swallow her food then she continues "Fr…my friend said, what if there's no curse, what if the witch and The prince knew each other or perhaps they are the same person" Lory sip her tea slowly "What if it's all just a charade, what if it's all just a plan to take over the Princess Kingdom....no war, no fuss, no casualty…..the prince would welcome as a Hero who saves the beauty" Lory smile cunningly then she put down the teacup gently on the table.

Zhao Li Xin tapped his finger on the table, her word aroused his suspicion he knew too well how the character of a Ruler, they can have different policy, different needs, different culture but at the end they all the same no matter how much they love their family, woman or children they would never ever let anyone threaten their absolution and giving a fief to a stranger is quite bold movement for a Ruler but why Liangzu Emperor risk his kingdom for one daughter, Fatherly love….

'Puih….' He doesn't buy it, something else must be happening something…interesting.

"Mong Ki, tell Bei Li Yan to investigated this matter," said Zhao Li Xin.

"Yes, Milord!" Mong Ki cupped his fist then he left the room swiftly.

Lory playfully smiles at him "Someone got interested?" her two hands prop her chin, her eyes glint like little kid waiting for fun play. Zhao Li Xin's mouth curved, it is quite fun to see more different sides of her.

"Tell me more about the story" Zhao Li Xin deviously smiles.

Lory knew behind that beautiful face he is plotting something, she doesn't mind with Zhao Li Xin scheming tendency the truth is she feels nostalgic how he reminds her with Fredhard, she wondered if there would be a time Zhao Li Xin and Fredhard could meet each other what kinda havoc they both would create, when that ever happened the world is better to watch out....

"It was quite 'Heroic' story, The prince walk through a thorny jungle, fight with vicious dragon and kill the bad witch only then he managed to reach the chamber where the sleeping beauty put on slumbered, then he fell in love at the first sight by her enchanted beauty when he kissed her, the princess awakens and she also fell in love at the first sight with the brave Prince"

"How convenience" Zhao Li Xin makes a sarcastic remark.

"That's weird isn't it, normally when a stranger is inside your room your first reaction at least screams isn't it…" Lory agree with Zhao Li Xin, even when she was a child she finds this story is ridiculous and the Prince sound creepy for her

"Anyway, the cursed is lifted the prince marries the Princess and happily ever after, the end" Lory then remembered

she was asking Fred why there's no story about what happened after the Prince and Princess got married, at that time Fred said to her with sweet smile plaster on his face

"Well my princess, after the honeymoon phased ended they probably got a divorce, what can you hope from flash married anyway, they might realize they have a different perspective on life, different hobbies, different value and don't forget how creepy the Prince is, who knew how many women he secretly kiss..." Fred then tucks her on the bed and covers her with a blanket, after he turns off the lamp he left the room, but then he turns around and makes creepy smiles.

"Don't forget to lock your room princess..."

"...….." Since that Lory has a habit of locked her window and door before she sleeps when she grew up and becomes stronger she put a lot of spell inside her room, not even mosquito could enter her room.

Lory was raised by a realistic, pragmatic and rational person called Fredhard Knoxville who keep her away from romantic delusion and useless fairy tale even though there still Fargo who have a long list of ex-girlfriends that can make casanova surrender with a white flag, Fargo never let any men get too close with Lory, he keep remain her how tricky and cunning a man could be.

With the combination of the two of them, she grew up having no interest in relationships with other men and her Father-con and Bro-con tendency also not helping.

In the world where thirteen years old girl already experience first date, first love, even first kiss Lory spent most her time with her brother and his Archknight, fighting with beast, exploring the cave and underground dungeon, not to forget she also have obligation as a Royalty to attend formal gathering, meeting with other royalty from other Kingdom, travel around the world as her Kingdom representative, make her had no time think about relationship.

And if there anyone there try to court her highness Princess Lorient they must through the impenetrable wall of The Archknight and if miracle happened they can pass through it they must against the mighty crown Prince Lucas, Lucas might look likes lazy and easy-going Prince who have 'Devil May Care' attitude but the moment Lory get involved, he will change to 180. Everyone who closes with Lucas knew how protective he is with Lorient.

Because of that Lory becomes who she is right now, a very dense woman who unfortunately her first romantic relationship is with a man who has limited interaction with another human being.

"What do you think about the princess in my story?" Lory curiously asks.

Zhao Li Xin tilted his head slightly "I think she's stupid..." he said frankly without a doubt.

Lory sigh "Yeah...I think so too"
