13.6 Why?

A-Xuan got off the carriage when it landed. He caressed Neo and ran up the stairs. The guards opened the doors of the dining room and he entered eagerly.

He froze when he saw a woman sitting next to the empty throne. She had long hair and an oval face. Her eyes were round, and her nose was slightly turned up. She looked beautiful.

A-Xuan frowned, so this is Astra. He thought Gege just wanted to have breakfast with him. A-Xuan walked to the table.

He was about to take a seat when the woman said, without looking up from her book:

"Bring me apple juice."

A-Xuan took a seat, and Astra looked up. She asked impatiently:

"What are you doing? Didn't anyone teach you that the help doesn't sit around the table?"

A-Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"Do I look like the help?"

Astra stared at him and asked:

"Are you A-Xuan?"

When he nodded, her eyes darkened. She wasn't at the arena yesterday, but her friend told her what happened.
