Who are you?

It was not only Shen Li but even Murong Jinzhi, himself who was perplexed about his behavior. He didn't know why he was doing this. Why was he being so good to this unknown woman? He began to look at Amelia closely. What was it about her that made like this? This was so unlike him. Before he would hate it and be disgusted even when a woman would dare to get close to him but now, this unknown woman had not dared to enter his carriage. But, she was also his sweets.

Why?

Why didn't he use his powers to kill her, the moment she stepped inside his carriage?

Why did he let her enter his carriage?

Around Amelia, one small and one big, two men were confused and looked lost in deep thoughts. But, did Amelia notice it? Nope! Her entire focus was on the tasty dessert in the box. She wanted to take her time and relish them slowly, savoring and instilling her mind with their flavor and letting their taste dance on her tongue. However, she was so hungry, that once she began to eat, she couldn't stop. Resembling a small little hamster, Amelia was nibbling and eating her food.

Nom! Nom! Nom! Nom!

One by one, Amelia was finishing all of the pastries kept in the wooden box. Murong Jinzhi looked at the thin figure and a deep light flashed through his eyes. To him, it looked like her family didn't feed her enough. Also, at the same time, he was trying to guess her identity. By her clothes, he could tell that she was no maid, but a young miss from some rich family in the capital. But, by the way, she talked and behaved didn't feel like she was from the capital.

All the ladies in the capital are trained to be noble and elegant. In public, they were demanded and taught to behave properly. But, she was so different. Yes, she had that elegance in her body and there was an air of nobility in her. It was somewhat different from those ladies in the capital. Theirs looked fake while on her body, it looked like it came from within her bones. Along with that, he also found that there was a hint of laziness in her eyes as if nothing could affect her. It was as if she cared about nothing or no one.

This was the fact, that made him pay more attention to her. How could a young girl like her had such kind of an eye? What was the mystery in them? Also, she was not afraid of him. Murong Jinzhi realized this fact in the beginning. When she stepped into his carriage and looked at him, there was no fear in her eyes.

"Who are you?" he inquired curiously.

Amelia paused, stopped her search for the next pastry, and looked up at him. " I am -"

But, before Amelia could say anything, she felt the carriage door open, the curtains being lifted up and a person dashed inside the carriage at full speed. Also, at the same time, she felt a strong murderous aura coming towards her. She narrowed her eyes at the intruder and noticed that it was a man in black clothes. Immediately, Amelia recognized him to be a shadow guard. Maybe, it was this handsome man's bodyguard.

"Hiiiiiiiii....." Amelia waved her hand when suddenly, she noticed him drawing out his bloodied sword and lunging it at her. "DAMN ASSASSIN!!!!!! HOW DARE YOU ENTER MY MASTER'S CARRIAGE!!!!"

"MISS!!!! BE CAREFUL!!!!!" Shen Li screamed from behind.

Quickly, Amelia's eyes flashed red and powers surged from within her. "STOP!" She used her commanding power and immediately, the shadow guard froze in his place. Along with the shadow guard, the sword also stopped at two inches away from her face. Amelia sighed in relief and took a bite of her dessert. Thankfully, she was careful!

"W-WHAT? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, YOU DAMN ASSASSIN!!!" The shadow guard yelled. He could feel that there was great pressure on his body that was not letting him move. It was as if his body was locked and frozen on the spot by something, or in his case, it was someone.

He glared at the woman eating desserts in front of him. The moment his eyes fell on the wooden box, it went wide. That was their crown prince's dessert box. What was it doing with this woman? And, why was she eating from his master's dessert box? Who was this woman? And, what was she doing in his master's carriage? How did she enter into their master's carriage without anyone of them noticing her?

The shadow guard immediately looked at the side to check on the Crown Prince. His Master looked fine to him. He let out a sigh of relief when suddenly he thought of something and he took a glance at his Master. Something seemed wrong. What if this woman had controlled their Master just like she had done to him?

No, not possible!

His Master was the strongest man in the entire nation. He was on top of the pinnacle and a strong martial artist. Nobody could defeat him. Certainly, this woman can't defeat him.

Then why did his Master not kill this woman?

Why was she in this carriage?

According to his master's cruelty personally, he hated women to the extreme. No female being could come near him. He hated being in the same space as them. Then, how did his Master allow this woman inside the carriage? Maybe, just maybe, this weird and unknown woman had controlled his Master.

The shadow guard thought so. Opening his mouth, he was about to scream and shout for help so that the rest of the guards who were cleaning the bodies outside the carriage could come in and kill this woman.

Amelie quickly sensed what the shadow guard was about to do. "DON'T TALK!" she commanded, her eyes flashing red for a small second.

Immediately, the shadow guard's mouth closed down on itself. No matter how hard, he tried, he couldn't open his mouth. His eyes wide went like a saucer, his heartbeat sped up and now, he finally showed signs of being scared. His hand began to sweat but his body couldn't move. He wanted to speak but his mouth couldn't move.

W-WHAT? WHAT WAS GOING ON? WHAT DID THIS WOMAN DO TO HIM?
