Chapter 21
Anyway, the author didn't write any follow-up for Kris' story after being
sealed at the bottom of the lake. So if it was inevitable to be sealed at the
bottom of the lake, then all he could do was to try his best to escape. At
this auction, they would be selling an extremely precious Five-Petal Rainbow
Ice Lotus[1]. Consuming it would enhance magical power and significantly boost
resistance to cold and ice. For an ice mage, it had even greater benefits.
Over the years, Ding Sheng had been collecting items like this, and now that
the treasure was within reach, he couldn’t resist the temptation. The
protagonist was unavoidable, but the opportunity to obtain this treasure
wouldn’t come around again.
Hence, the grand and luxurious royal carriage headed towards the auction
house.
Just as they entered the auction house, their carriage found itself face to
face with an incredibly majestic black carriage in the narrow space.
Both were wider than typical carriages, so they were naturally stuck, with
neither able to pass.
The major cannon fodder Sanctus had never given way to others in his life, and
in front of Kris, he was even more determined to show off his authority.
But Ding Sheng nearly had a heart attack the moment he saw that distinctive
black carriage and the magical crest on it. What were the odds? He just
randomly decided to go out and ended up bumping straight into the main
character’s current ride. This carriage had been specifically described in the
story—though it looked unassuming, it was basically a mobile battle fortress.
Inside the black carriage, Sherry gazed at the snow-white carriage adorned
with golden and silver embroidery of roses and violets, and gasped in awe,
"Lord Dishang, that carriage is so beautiful!"
The thing is, she had seen countless magnificent and beautiful things
over the years while following Dishang Huai, but this carriage still managed
to instantly capture her attention. As it was a carriage specially designed
for a young lady, every corner was crafted with meticulous care, capturing all
the fantasies a girl may have. It wasn't hard to guess what kind of pampered
lady its owner must be.
Following Sherry's voice, Dishang Huai looked out and felt his breath hitch.
He had sat in that carriage before.
At that time, the owner of that carriage had made him accompany him to buy
materials for making potions. Even when the palace had everything he
could possibly need.
But like the countless ordinary citizens of the Olay Empire, he could only
indulge the carriage owner’s whims.
The magic market was quite a distance from the palace. There were only the two
of them inside the spacious carriage, and the dazed owner of the carriage
actually quietly fell asleep.
Back then, he sat next to Kris, listening to their heartbeats, wanting to get
closer but not daring to.
Ultimately, he couldn't resist the temptation in his heart. Quietly and
slowly, he leaned in and gently kissed the strands of hair that had fallen
over the other's shoulder.
That was his princess.
1. Technically, the exact translation would be five-coloured five petal ice lotus, but it is already a mouthful as it is. Later in the story they will mention seven-coloured seven petal and nine-coloured nine petal ice lotus↩
