Prince Consort

"I was wondering which esteemed guest made so much bluster in this place, but it turned out it was Master Aodhfionn. I am honored to be in your presence." a male voice arrived at the small room the trio had been sitting in.

Aodhfionn's brows knitted as he heard the voice. Ezio could see that there was some sort of enmity between these two people. The words the other person said were polite, but there was hidden mocking inside, and the reaction he observed on the face of Aodhfionn told him that something was going on between the two.

"So, it is Prince Consort, Xiao Chen. And Lil' Princess, Lan Yue Guangzhu. It is an honor to meet ye." Aodhfionn said as he rose from his seat and did the basic courtesy.

"Uncle Aodhfionn, please don't. You are my elder. How can I accept your bow?" Little Princess Lan Yue Guangzhu said as she looked at Ezio and Abbot, wondering who might have the status to sit with Master Aodhfionn and make him behave like this. On the other hand, looking at this beauty struck Ezio silly. From the outside, he looked like his eyes were serene, but in actual sense, all of his perception was on Princess Moon stealthily.

Damn! What a beauty. Princess Moon had silky black hair falling until her waist. Her black eyes were shining with light inside of them. As if a harbinger of the night, and precursor of the rising moon. Her lips were pink and portioned on her snow face perfectly. The little pointy nose couldn't be more commensurate. Her body was curvaceous, and there wasn't a single extra fat on her body except for the place there has to be. Ezio's blood started to agitate inside his body and wanted to unleash somewhere. But unfortunately, his 12 years old body didn't give him the opportunity.

But did Aodhfionn just say, Prince Consort? Did Princess Moon get married? I never heard of it.

Is he really married to this flower boy? Yes, he is kinda handsome, but he is more beautiful than handsome.

"Master Aodhfionn, it is such a coincidence to meet you here." Prince Consort ignored others and continued to talk with Aodhfionn. "I was wondering, did you have time to think about my proposition?"

"Ah did. The answer is still nah." Aodhfionn gave a nonchalant answer.

"Master Aodhfionn, don't be like this. You know my royal father is sick, and as his good friend you ought to help his son." Xiao Chen said with a sinister smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Dond ye dare to test mah limits boy!" Aodhfionn suddenly flared up as his voice rose.

"Insolent!" One of the guards behind Prince Consort shouted as he walked in front. "How can you call my Prince a boy. Get on your knees and ask for forgiveness!"

Hummm.

Suddenly a heavy pressure filled the room and the windows started to vibrate, about to break down. The guard who just shouted started to bleed from his orifices, as he collapsed to the ground. "Ye and yer prince are too green to question me," Aodhfionn said with a cold tone. Ezio felt killing intent from the man.

"Please calm your anger Master Aodhfionn. My man didn't know who your dignitary self was and offended you. But I believe he already received his punishment." Prince Consort said without any expression on his face. If he cared about his underling, he wasn't showing it on his indifferent face. He couldn't care less even when his guard was about to die.

"Uncle Aodhfionn, please calm down. My Fiancé and his guards are not here to antagonize you. You know what my loyal father is getting through. If it wasn't for Chen'er the kingdom would be in ruin a year ago." Princess Moon said with a pleading tone. It was obvious she was keeping Aodhfionn in high regard.

Aodhfionn calmed down after he heard the Princess, and turned to Ezio and Abbot. "Les go. Ah lost mah appetite."

Abbot didn't say anything and followed after. Of course, so did Ezio. The latter was dying with curiosity but it wasn't his place to ask the question.

"Please reconsider my offer, Master Aodhfionn. I will be waiting for your good news." Prince Consort shouted behind them as they were walking down the stairs. Aodhfionn's fists were clenched but he didn't say anything back.

"Is it him?" Abbot asked after they walked for more than 15 minutes. The sun was setting now, and the capital was dyed in by the blood sun. For some reason, no one in the street had their eyes on them. Ezio was able to feel a faint fluctuation in the air.

A barrier?

"Aye, Ah believe so," Aodhfionn answered, his fists still clenched.

"Why didn't you try to save him? You can ask him directly if he is conscious, right?" Abbot asked again. They were now in front of Aodhfionn's house.

"The poison is too potent. Ah, dond have the means to cure him." Aodhfionn said with a downcasted face.

"I was able to acquire a miracle potion when we were still adventurers. It may be able to save his life. Still, I don't know if it will be able to cure the poison or not." Abbot said as he passed a Spatial Scroll over to Aodhfionn.

"Thank ye," Aodhfionn said as he accepted it.

"No need thanks between us right. Or you old goat forgot about our friendship?" Abbot said as he smiled.

"Ye are the old one, damn bald monk," Aodhfionn said with a chuckle as his mood was better now.

"I will be on my way. I can't be far away from the sect for too long. Take good care of Ezio."

"Ye are not gonna wait for the test? If he cannot pass, Ah will not accept him as mah student. Just so ye know."

"If he can't pass, just throw him in the streets," Abbot said and started to walk away. "Be careful."

"Ah will."

"Ezio, the capital is dangerous. Be careful. Even when there is no one around, formations might be watching you." Abbot said with a glint in his eyes.
