Threats to the Crown Prince

"Ummm... ummmm... ummm....."

Why can't I open my mouth?

What has this woman done to him?

Did she use some kind of invisible poison on him?

No matter how hard the shadow guard tried to open his mouth, it was just not happening. At this point, he was like a statue who couldn't move, couldn't speak. And, it was all this damn woman's fault. He glared at the woman wishing to cut her body into tiny little pieces.

"Don't you even try that," Amelia smirked. "You can't even touch me," she said.

The shadow guard's eyes went wide. All of the blood went down from his face and he turned pale white. He looked at the woman as if he was seeing a living ghost. Not that he was wrong, Amelia was a living ghost, or more correctly to say, that she was a living dead but in her real world. In this world, she was a simple human being with her vampire powers.

H-how.... how did she know what he was thinking?

C-can this woman read his mind?

Amelia nodded at him and smiled. "Yes, I can read your mind," she informed. She was lying. She did not possess those powers. Though, she would be quite glad to have it. As for how she could what he was thinking was due to his face. It was quite easy for her to guess what the shadow guard was thinking under this situation.

With wide eyes, the shadow guard looked at her in fright.

Amelia smiled like a devil. "So, don't think about anything you don't want me to know."

The shadow gulped. He wanted to nod heavily but he realized that he couldn't move his neck. Blinking his eyes, he looked at her, and then his eyes fell on his Master who was still lying in the same position, in an extremely lazy manner. His posture made the people looking at him believe that he was the least bothered by anything happening in the carriage. However, if you looked closer into his deep fathomless mysterious eyes, one could see that they were filled with a sparkle of curiosity.

It was not only the Crown Prince who was amazed by Amelia's way of doing things. Behind her, Shen Li was also a little curious about her. But he had seen enough to not question her. Anyways, he didn't care about what she did and how she did it. He was satisfied by being alive and by being with her. Only this, mattered to him.

As for her mind-reading skills, he believed it. Today, he had seen a lot of weird things for him to not believe in what she said.

After dealing with the cute shadow guard, Amelia was satisfied. She looked at the sword in his hand, removed it, and kept it aside. With a smile, she ate another cake when suddenly, she thought of something. Holding a half-eaten pastry in her hand, she looked at the handsome man who was observing her curiously.

Oh shit!!!! What did she do?

While dealing with the little shadow guard, she had completely forgotten about this handsome man. Damn! Now, she had exposed herself in front of him. Now what? What should she do? As a human being, she shouldn't be able to do this, should she?

Amelia ate the remaining pasty in one single bite. "Look, pretty man, if you keep quiet then I wouldn't do anything to you," she said with a slight warning in her voice. If she wanted to stay in this world, then she needed to lay low for a while. She has to live according to how people in this fake world were programmed. She cannot act too strange, arouse suspicion, and be taken as a monster by everybody.

Murong Jinzhi's mouth twitched. Interesting! Was this woman trying to threaten him? For the first time, there was someone courageous enough to look into his eyes and threaten him. He smirked and looked at the woman carefully. Now, he was getting more and more interested in her. "And if I don't do as you say?" he tested her out.

Amelia smiled. "Then maybe I'll have to kill you."

Murong Jinzhi laughed. Kill him?

Behind her, Shen Li was stunned. His entire body was trembling in fear. W-what? What was Miss Jiang trying to do? Why was she digging her own grave? Does she really not remember that the person sitting in front of her is the Crown Prince? Until today, nobody has dared to say such threats in front of the Crown Prince so boldly.

Ah!!!! Miss Jiang, what are you doing????? That's is the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince, dammit!!!

How can you threaten to kill him? Even your father, the Great General Jiang was afraid of standing in front of this prince, and yet you dared to be so bold. Who gave you this courage? Have you eaten a leopard's gall? Don't you know that threatening to kill someone from the royal family is a crime? And, don't you know that the Crown Prince is the Emperor's most favorite son? What if the emperor sitting on the dragon's throne back in the capital gets a wind of this? Not only you will be tortured and killed but even the entire Jiang clan would be slaughtered.

For the third time, Shen Li raised his hand again trying to stop Miss Jiang from saying such things. However, just when his hands were about to touch her, a cold gaze fell onto his body. Shen Li moved his gaze away from Miss Jiang to a certain Crown Prince. When his eyes clashed with those dark fathomless eyes, he sucked in a cold breath. It was so frightening that his entire body was covered in large sweat. His heart thundered inside his chest. He felt as if his heart was gripped by a devil who could kill him any moment.

Afraid, Shen Li quickly took his hand back and dared not to touch Amelia. Only then, did he feel that those murderous eyes had left his body. he sighed in relief but his heart was anxious.

W-what? What did the Crown Prince mean?

Why did the Crown Prince stop him from stopping Miss Jiang?

What was the Crown Prince trying to do?

But, there was no one to answer his questions.
