Prince Hue Chi, Long Kue and Butler Zeu were observing from the restaurant not far up from the group near the bench. Zanki and Ken Xue was so smooth in their actions and speech that one could not detect anything obvious. Long Kue was terrified of the Prince and a.s.sistant duo in their scheme getting to the ladies. He looked over to his Prince who still have the stony expression as ever, looking unaffected by what he had seen. Long Kue sighed as helplessness took over him. It would be impossible for him to make a move since his Prince showed no interest what so ever. Did he and everyone else mistaken Prince Hue Chi"s like for Yu Sha? This stone statue here is so unaffected and unmoved by anything.Back over by the bench, Ken Xue asked, "Would you ladies like to have a photo together? You two were taking pictures earlier, I wasn"t sure if you got what you needed yet."
Yu Sha replied, "Umm.. Not yet. There will be many more places to take pictures." She didn"t want to make them feel like it"s their fault.
"I"m sure there will be many more places." Ken Xue replied.
It sounded like Ken and Zan haven"t been to this place with the way he just replied. Su Na slowly opened her mouth and asked, "Um..You both haven"t been here?"
"We have not. This is our first time." Ken Xue replied truthfully.
Su Na studied the two men and it seemed like they may be photographers? "Zan, are you a photographer? You seem to have an expensive camera there." Su Na asked.
Zanki laughed nervously as he looked at his camera, "Ah.. ha.. ha.. not really. My boss here is the better one." His Prince has a keen for art and aesthetic things. He"s more scholarly and peaceful then all other Princes.
Su Na nodded as she looked at Ken, "Mm.. I see. Would you mind?" Su Na asked if Ken Xue could take a picture of them girls.
"My pleasure." Ken Xue replied willingly as he took the camera from Zanki. He then instructed the ladies to go pose. After a few shots and poses, Ken Xue asked, "Would you two like to go up farther?" He took a few steps towards the two ladies before adding, "Sorry, I didn"t mean to be presumptuous but would you two like to hang out with us for the rest of the day? I have some colleagues here as well."
The ladies nodded and Yu Sha replied, "I guess, since we all are new, we can explore together." She a.s.sumed before meeting the other colleagues.
"Ken where are your friends." Su Na asked as she didn"t see anyone nearby.
"Up above in the restaurant there to the right. They went to get something to drink." Ken Xue replied as he pointed over to the direction of the restaurant.
What they didn"t know was those colleagues have been observing them the whole time.
The group walked farther up by the restaurant. When they arrived in front of the entrance, Ken Xue waited with the two ladies outside while Zanki went inside to get Prince Hue Chi and Long Kue. Butler Zeu decided to stay behind. Old man shouldn"t get in the way of young people. Plus, he can finally enjoy some tea time alone.
When the door opened, Hue Chi step out first, then Zanki and Long Kue. Yu Sha and Su Na"s pupil dilated when they saw who those colleagues were. It was the person who just did their project inspection the day before. Yu Sha was disheartened, "d.a.m.n! The Night Owl is everywhere." Yu Sha muttered to herself.
The Night Owl"s eyes is as deep and distant as ever and his expression is as stale as ever.
"Your colleagues?" Yu Sha asked feeling a little dispirited.
From the sound of Ya Sha"s tone, Ken Xue can guess that they may have met before since the two girls work for Ether. But how they reacted to Hue Chi, they must not have known that he is Prince of this country. Ken Xue totally could understand Prince Hue Chi"s intention to keep his ident.i.ty hidden. He too, didn"t disclosed his status either.
They are similar in ways that they both like to live secretly, stay away from the public eyes. Both their parents are still alive and still taking the spotlight. Ken Xue also have two sisters, one older and one younger. His older sister is currently taking the spotlight with his parents, going out in public, appearing in news and TVs, whereas his younger sister and him still like to stay away from the public eyes. They like to hide their ident.i.ty as it gives them more freedom to move around. So he understood Hue Chi well, except that he"s more talkative while Hue Chi rarely talks.
"Hahaha.. let"s go, don"t mind anyone or anything." Prince Ken Xue dropped the hint for them to ignore Prince Hue Chi if they are not on good term with him.
The group of six started walking. They explored the botanical parts of the mountain and walked up farther to the nature part. The higher up they go, the more beautiful and breathtaking the area becomes. The mountain cliff looks so beautiful, like heaven on earth. The sea of flowers rolls, curved up and down with the wind while patches of crystal ground glistens as the sun ray hits.
Prince Ken Xue had to agree, Aires have something so mystifying, he can feel the natural energy swarming stronger and stronger the higher up they go. The airs and energy are so pure and strong. A perfect place to cleanse and purify one"s mind and soul.
Yu Sha was so mesmerized by the beautiful sight that she had completely forgotten the Night Owl. She was the first one among the group to get so far up ahead. Her laughs and smiles was so soothing. She ran like a little kid who was full of energy while giggling full of excitement, "Su Na, I"m bewitched!"
Hearing Yu Sha shouted to Su Na, Ken Xue laughed, "Hahaha.. She"s kinda cute!"
