Chapter 76 - Princess Sylvia Scamming The Second Prince

"Fourth Brother, it’s been a while since I last visited Wine Master Jiu’s store. I’d like to order the Deep-fried Shrimp Tempura and boast about its taste to our imperial father." The fifth princess smugly said.

The fourth prince’s lips twitched at her words and was a bit jealous.

His little sister was able to talk casually with their imperial father. If it was him, the emperor would surely cane him a hundred times.

"I’ll just order five Ables Blanc for now and also a serving of Deep-fried Shrimp Tempura." The fourth prince licked his lips as he spoke.

"Eh? Isn’t that our second brother’s carriage? Is he here as well?" The fifth princess was surprised to see the carriage of the second prince outside Jiu Shen’s store.

The fourth prince knitted his eyebrows and said. "That seems to be the case..."

"Hmph! Let’s go. The second brother still owes me a thousand True Crystals." Princess Sylvia said with glittering eyes.

Prince Dante was surprised at her words and he could not help but ask. "Huh? How did second brother owe you that much True Crystals?"

Princess Sylvia glared at her fourth brother and said with an evil grin. "Because I’m the fifth princess and imperial father dotes on me. Hehe."

Prince Dante paused from his steps and was stunned at his fifth sister’s words. ’This girl is becoming smarter and smarter. My early condolences to you, second brother...’

Princess Sylvia pulled her brother after seeing him standing foolishly.

"Hey, don’t pull me! Fifth sister!"

After the two left the scene, an old man dressed like a commoner stood in where they previously were. The old man glanced at the luxurious carriage of the second prince then onto the receding figures of the two youngsters he was secretly protecting. "Oh crap! I hope nothing bad happens..." He muttered as he swiftly followed behind the two youngsters without making them notice him.

Princess Sylvia’s smile widened after she saw the second prince sitting with his men. She then slowly walked towards them while ignoring her fourth brother’s warnings.

"Sister, don’t cause trouble here. If you create a huge commotion, Young Miss Theia might throw us out of the store." Prince Dante whispered to her ears while pulling her half-heartedly.

He had been conned many times by his fifth sister and he wanted to see someone else succumb as much as he did before. Furthermore, Prince Dante didn’t like his second brother that much even though the latter was putting up a gentle and kind facade since they were young.

Prince Dante had a feeling that their second brother was merely faking it, but he wasn’t so sure either.

"Oh, what are my cute little sister and my talented young brother doing here? Are you guys also here to enjoy wine? If that’s the case, everything’s on me." Prince Arslan said with an affectionate smile.

Princess Sylvia’s smiled turned even more vibrant when she heard those words. "Second Brother, don’t forget that you still owe me a thousand True Crystals." The fifth princess intentionally increased the volume of her voice so that everyone inside the store will be able to hear her clearly.

Prince Arslan almost choked on his wine when he heard the playful voice of the fifth princess. He then saw the little demoness winking at him skittishly which made his lips twitch in annoyance.

"Ah- Of course! How could I forget that? Don’t worry, little sister. Your second brother will give it back to you, but for now, let’s enjoy the wines in this store." The second prince forced out a smile as he said that.

Princess Sylvia frowned and said loudly. "I want it now! I want it now!"

Prince Dante found himself a seat and looked at the scene with great interest.

Prince Arslan’s pupils widened at the sudden outburst of the fifth princess. He didn’t expect that she would make things difficult for him in front of many people.

If he did not agree to her demands, he was sure that the little girl in front of him would surely throw a tantrum.

He knew how hard it was to pacify the fifth princess, so he yielded and said with a slightly shaking voice. "Sure. Here’s your one thousand True Crystals my dear fifth sister." Prince Arslan took out a small pouch from his robes and handed it to Princess Sylvia with shivering arms.

It was unknown if he was shaking due to anger or embarrassment. Nonetheless, the fifth princess accepted the pouch with a wide smile on her face. "I know that second brother is the best! Hehe." She said frivolously.

"Everyone, you heard what my second brother said, right? He said that everything’s on him, so let’s all enjoy our wine since he will be paying for our orders! Hehe." Princess Sylvia grinned after saying those words.

The people inside the store cheered when they heard her words.

"Long live the second prince!"

"Thank you, your highness!"

As for the second prince, his gentle face almost distorted and he could hardly control his raging emotions, but he still put on a kind-hearted smile as if he really meant it.

Princess Sylvia felt a chill behind her back when her eyes met with Prince Arslan’s warm gaze. It felt as if she was looking at a viper who was silently waiting for its prey in the shadows.

The second prince stood up and let out a smile that was as gentle as the morning air and said in an amiable voice. "Drink up, everyone! Everything’s on me this time. Haha."

"Haha! Cheers! We offer our respects to you, Your Highness!"

"All hail the second prince!"

When everyone else was cheering for the second prince, Jiu Shen was still lazily sitting on his chair while rubbing Ice’s fur. He was the only one who looked calm inside the store when everyone else was shouting praises.

The fat cat who still had an indignant look before was now closing its eyes in delight while enjoying the gentle touch of Jiu Shen. "More... More... Meow."

The man and the cat duo seemed oblivious to what was happening inside the store as their eyes remained closed.

In fact, they both knew what was happening, but they were just too lazy to bother...
