The older woman smiled warmly and thanked them while she watched them leave the shop. When they were out of sight, the older woman quickly got up and locked the door
"QUICKLY BRING ME THE ANTIDOTE! "
The older woman straightened up and removed the mask from her face. Luilia turned and quickly picked up the glass from Kueng. She quickly emptied the contents into her mouth and sat down with a devilish smile on her face.
"Love makes blind and people will no longer think clearly. What stupid girls they are. It is about time that we went into hiding again. I can't believe it took almost three months before they were close enough to the shop ! "
Liula stood up and pressed a button that was in the wall. The wall slowly shifted and a secret passage appeared.
"Erase all traces, burn everything, but not the shop itself."
Kueng, standing in the middle of the shop looked at Liula and nodded. Kueng looked lifeless around the shop and let his fire rage through the shop.
His eyes were dull and no emotion could be seen. When he was finished, he walked like a zombie after liula.
Luila walked into the secret passage with a smile
"It's a shame I can't see the consequences with my own eyes. But now it is certain that Teru had not lied. None of his children are a seer! "
.....
"greetings your queen and king of the foxes tribe"
"The triplets look so beautiful"
"it looks like the first princess is a bit shy, see how she is hiding in her father's arms"
"ow my, I see that the second prince is already stepping forward"
Hama watched Kaida try to keep her calm while she and Huli were welcoming all guests.
Huli stood casually beside her and was more concerned with soothing Hiromi, who found the crowd rather frightening.
Hiroshi stood next to Kaida and held tightly the hem of her skirt. Hiroki, on the other hand, was showing of for the guests and was only too happy to show how well he could walk.
Hama sighed and looked toward the side where Kenta was standing. since the start of the ball, she has not had a chance to get close to him.
Teru had had enough of the party and the moment he wanted to leave he saw Hama's gaze.
"my little flower, is everything okay?"
Hama straightened her back and smiled
"yes father, I am just a bit tired. I think I will retire to the rest chamber"
Teru nodded and then beckoned a maid
"very well, my little flower"
He turned to the unknown maid
"my daughter needs rest, I would appreciate it if you would accompany her"
the maid bowed and nodded at Teru, who walked away when the maid confirmed his request.
Hama walked with the maid to the rest chamber. When she enterd she sat down exhausted. She was unable to enjoy the ball in honor of the first birthday of the triplets
She had been looking forward to it, but she had been busy all night thinking about how she could offer the tea to Kenta.
But the evening had been so busy and since Kenta is the heir to the throne, he was surrounded by people all the time.
Hama could understand the envoys who stood around him, but the girls who looked at him with eyes full of love and lust she could not appreciate them.
But she wasn't in her right to get angry. After all, they were not an item and he had always kept her at a distance.
Yes they had more contact in recent months, but that was only because they were both in the north and Hama created as many opportunities as possible to spend time with him.
Hama laid down in the chair in which she sat and sighed and looked ahead
"What a deep sigh your princess"
Hama looked up in surprise and quickly sat straight up, and stared making herself look decent.
"Greetings first prince of the dragon tribe"
Hama melted when she saw Kenta answer her greeting with a seductive half smile and a kiss on her hand. She looked at him from head to toe.
Kenta was dressed again in the traditional clothes of the dragon tribe. Only this time he was wearing the fox tribe colors.
Hama had often seen Kenta in his combat uniform and armor. She thought he was breathtakingly beautiful then. He gave off a powerful and ferocious aura if he had his combat uniform and armor on. But in the traditional costume of the dragon tribe, he looked warm and charming.
"What brings the first prince of the dragon tribe here?"
Kenta took a seat in the chair next to Hama and gave her a warm look
"I'm ready for a bit of rest and I didn't have the chance to have a conversation with you all evening. So when I saw that you had retired to the rest chamber, I took the opportunity to accompany you. If you would rather not have that I will respect your wishes "
Hama waved her hands and quickly rang the bell on the table.
"No, I like your company. I will ask a maid to bring hot water and I will make tea for us. "
An unknown maid walked in within a few minutes. Hama didn't seem aware of it, but Kenta frowned at her.
The maid lowered her eyes and bowed
"Your called me, your princess and prince"
Hama nodded and quickly said
"Would you please bring a jug of hot water"
Before the maid rose, a glint appeared in the maid's eyes. She nodded and left the rest chamber. Kenta looked at her suspiciously but did not know exactly why. Was it because he had never seen her?
It wasn't long before the maid returned with a tray with hot water and two cups. She put the tray down on the table that stood between Hama and Kenta. She nodded and before leaving the rest chamber Kenta spoke to her
"I would appreciate it if you would ensure that we are not disturbed for the time being. But make sure the door is open and a maid and a guard are at the door so that the princess's honor cannot be harmed "
The maid nodded and then left the rest chamber. When Hama was sure that the maid had left, she took the bottle she got from the elderly woman from her handbag.
"Look first prince of the dragon tribe, recently I love this tea. I would like to share it with you "
Hama was happy that she had chosen to keep the bottle close because she did not know when she would ever have the opportunity to have tea with Kenta.
She didn't think she would have the chance so soon. She was so overjoyed that she did not realize that Kenta was wary.
"From where did you get the tea?"
Hama poured hot water into the cups and put two caps of the drink in it instead of a cap. As soon as she had done that, a pleasant aroma started to come off the tea.
Hama shoved a cup towards Kenta and smiled lovingly at him. She didn't want him to know how she got the tea, so she decided to tell a little lie.
"A friend recommended it to me, if you like it we can go and buy it together when it suits you"
Kenta looked at the cup and then at the smiling Hama and began to put his guard down. Who was he kidding? Even if she gave him poison, he would drink it without thinking if he saw such a smile on her face. In addition, it should not be so harmful if she would drink it herself.
"Thank you, it is an honor to drink the tea that the princess made herself."
