Volume 2 + Chapter 92: Embarrassing To Mention
The Sheriff’s face darkened.
He was quite upset about his authority being challenged like this.
But the Cavendish family wasn’t a new noble family. In terms of status, they indeed ranked much higher than the new nobles. If the Sheriff wanted to arrest them, he still needed to go back and get approval from his superiors.
This head of the Cavendish family was also notoriously known in Corolle as a prodigal son.
Every day was a waste, frequenting casinos, indulging in pleasures, living off his family fortune, hardly doing anything serious.
This man, from time to time, would be involved in scandals with the stars of the Corolle Grand Theater… The exaggerated rumors were that by meeting a female star for less than half a day, he would charm her, and by evening, he would have slept with her, causing her to miss the next day’s schedule, resulting in a citywide uproar.
This was something only Lucius could do.
In the eyes of other nobles, Lucius was just indulging himself thanks to the honors earned by his ancestors, lucky to be born into this family, which was why he could be so unrestrained.
Everyone didn’t take him seriously, just waiting for this prodigal son to bring down the Cavendish family.
It wasn’t worth stooping to the level of such a lowly fellow.
“What are you standing around for? Aren’t you going to make way for me?” Lucius asked.
“The Cavendish family, please be aware that within a short period of time after paying the atonement fee… If you violate the laws of Corolle again, the atonement fee will also be invalidated,” the Sheriff said.
“You don’t need to remind me. I’ve paid the atonement fee many times. I understand this very well.”
“That’s good. Gather up, let’s go.”
The Sheriff signaled, and the guards took the members of the Cangqing Gang away.
“You… Come back!!”
Oba watched the security team leave, very angry, but helpless… After all, he was still a junior. His voice was not high enough. If his father was here, the result would definitely be different.
“Alright, goodbye, Young Master Oba. Please send my regards to your father… Thank you to the Elvin family for inviting me to this Ascension Casino celebration. It was very enjoyable. I am willing to give a five-star review!” Lucius, before leaving, did not forget to mock Oba.
Originally, Ascension Casino had targeted Lucius, this ambitionless fellow, planning to make a fortune, but now, they ended up losing terribly.
“Damn Cavendish family, you wait, this matter… won’t end like this!!”
Watching Lucius’s back, Oba clenched his fist, smashing a table.
…
Xia Yi followed Serra, returning to the Cavendish family manor with Lucius.
“Master, you’re finally back!!”
Uncle Ya greeted Lucius excitedly upon seeing him.
“It’s so rare, you’re actually with the young lady! I’ve heard about the incredible incident at Ascension Casino…”
“It’s nothing. For my excellent daughter, it’s something she can easily handle.”
Lucius wanted to pat Serra’s head.
Serra, with a look of disgust, quickly dodged.
It was an extremely awkward scene, but Lucius didn’t care at all. “Haha, Daughter, after so long not seeing Daddy, you’ve started to be shy. There’s no need for that.”
“I don’t want to say unpleasant things to you. Please restrain yourself a bit.”
Serra didn’t even want to give her weird father face.
“No problem! Since it’s rare for my daughter to come back, we must celebrate properly… Uncle Ya, go prepare the banquet. Today I want to celebrate in style!”
“As you command, Master!” Uncle Ya went to prepare.
Xia Yi now felt that this Cavendish family head was really unique.
To say he was capable, yet he did not do anything serious.
To say he was incompetent, yet he used unexpected means to allow Serra and herself to leave Ascension Casino unscathed, and even made a hefty profit from the Elvin family.
He seemed to be a very complicated person.
…
Lucius called Xia Yi into a room, and Serra followed.
This was a private reception room. Besides these three people, there were no others.
Along the way, Lucius had not initiated a conversation with Xia Yi. Now that there were no other people, it was clear he had something to say.
Initially, Xia Yi thought he would be joking around.
But his expression suddenly changed, becoming very serious. With full respect, he actually bowed to Xia Yi.
“Your humble servant greets Your Majesty the Queen.”
“Eh?”
Xia Yi was stunned.
“Her Majesty the Queen is visiting Corolle incognito, and I did not greet her in advance, letting you witness a disgraceful scene. I have lost the etiquette of the Cavendish family. Please punish me.” Lucius lowered his head.
Xia Yi blinked.
So, Lucius had mistaken her for someone else, thinking she was Xia Lulu.
She looked too much like Xia Lulu. Except for some minor differences, they looked almost the same.
Only those who have been in the Dragon Palace for a long time could tell the difference.
Serra almost couldn’t help laughing at the sight of Lucius’s serious face.
“Your Majesty the Queen, I am ready to apologize. Please proceed…”
“You’ve got the wrong person,” Xia Yi explained. “I’m not Xia Lulu.”
“Not the Queen?”
“Your Majesty the Queen, please don’t make such jokes! Although many years have passed, I have never forgotten you.”
“I am Xia Yi · Christie, the daughter of the Silver Dragon Queen Xia Lulu, the Silver Dragon Princess.”
Xia Yi introduced herself proficiently.
But she immediately felt something was wrong. Why was her first reaction to explain her identity as the Dragon Princess? Shouldn’t she think about it?
“Silver Dragon Princess?” Lucius was very surprised.
“Yes, this is Her Highness the Princess, Father. You got the wrong person,” Serra added from the side.
“So it’s Her Highness the Princess? My apologies. I really didn’t expect that you would look so similar to Her Majesty the Queen, almost identical… Like, very much alike. This is a miracle. The heavens have truly blessed the royal family to have such an excellent successor like you,” Lucius exclaimed.
“You’re too kind, but speaking of which, have you seen Xia Lulu?”
“This…”
Lucius found it Embarrassing to Mention.
“Princess, my father once served in the Dragon Palace… But due to negligence of duty, he was expelled from the Dragon Palace and sent back to his hometown—Corolle. This was a long time ago,” Serra mercilessly explained.
“Serra, don’t expose me like that. Leave me some face in front of the Princess!” Lucius complained.
“You know about dignity?”
“Cough cough, anyway, Princess, welcome to Corolle. Treat this place as your own home. Don’t be polite. In the name of Cavendish, we will definitely treat you well!”
“Um, Lucius Cavendish, I have already felt your enthusiasm. It makes me feel like a spring breeze. My heart is open and my spirit is happy.”
Xia Yi used the etiquette of a royal princess, straightened her posture, even her demeanor changed. Elegance and beauty coexisted. The perfect princess mode was activated.
Lucius didn’t know what the reputation of the Silver Dragon Princess was like in the Dragon Palace.
The little princess decided in her heart that in front of outsiders, she must work hard to shape her image!
