"What? Why is that woman equal with the King?" The fifth prince asked. It seemed like he was totally clueless about the situation.
"It seemed like you did not do your research properly, the fifth prince," Min mocked the fifth prince with a smile and a tap on his shoulder. "You must not know what I can do as well?"
Prince Won's bravado suddenly disappeared, and he felt intimidated by Min. He gulped as Min took a step forward. Their faces were now close to each other.
The prince suddenly acted weirdly, as if he was getting nervous with their faces close to each other. Min's brows knitted together as he wanted to question what kind of thoughts the prince was having.
Taking a step backward, Min said. "The high priestess is powerful than you are as she is tasked to summon the mythical white tiger with her celestial warriors."
This time, it was the prince's turn for his brows to furrow together. He was definitely confused with what the familiar-looking man said and was not following. The fifth prince seemed to be oblivious to the palace matters, and it was no use for him to explain well.
Min glanced at the high priestess whose forehead and eyes can only be seen from afar. She must have been embarrassed that more and more people are there to witness her taking a bath. It should be relaxing for her, but it was not at all.
"Is it not a little bit rude of you to talk like that and not introduce yourself first?" Prince Won squinted his eyes and gave a mirthless laugh. "Who are you and how dare you talk to a prince like that?!"
The palace maids were just silent and observing the situation. Min was the only one who could solve this. No matter what, he had to make it in a way that he would intimidate the prince.
"My name is Min and I talk like this because you are not heeding the high priestess demand," Min explained. Prince Won felt intimidated because the man who called himself Min was taller than he was. He seemed to be bulkier too. Tch. "The only orders that I follow is from the King and the High Priestess."
This was getting on his nerves.
Prince Won did not expect this. Just yesterday, this man called Min, and the woman he was with was now called a High Priestess and a celestial warrior? What on Earth happened when he passed out yesterday?
Did he really miss such a very important palace matter?
Well, he always missed them anyways. He only focused on playing with the girls outside the palace. He was the real definition of wake up, eat, play, sleep and repeat.
As he was already far from the lineup of being the crowned prince, he did not study or do well in arts. He was just focused on leisure and did not like any responsibilities given to him.
This showed that he did not care anything about his life as a prince and just wanted to play hard.
Now he was becoming curious about seeing this beautiful lady taking a bath. He could only see her naked back as she was so hiding her front behind the wooden tub. If only this man did not come, he could have feasted his eyes on——
"And just so you know," Min trailed off as he slowly exhaled, emphasizing the following words he was about to speak. "I happened to be a celestial warrior. Do you know what celestial warriors do?"
Are the of them playing guessing games here? Why did this guy have to talk and ask questions a lot? Is he really here to help the lady? Maybe he could coax and bribe him with gold so that both of them can look at the lady at the same time.
They would have to compromise before that, though. Min can look at the back of the lady, and Prince Won could feast his eyes on her front. It has been a while since he last saw a naked woman.
Dividing it into two, the front and the back, would be unfair, right?
Of course, a man would definitely want to look at the butt as well.
Brilliant idea!
Prince Won smiled. He can be a genius at times as well. He did not expect that he had the brain to think like that. Maybe he can persuade the king, his highness, and convince him to be part of the selection of the crown prince.
"Look here, Min," He said in a low voice, making sure that only the two of them can hear. "Are you not curious to see the lady's naked body as well?" He trailed off, raising his brows up and down twice. "I am sure that you are, right?"
The man paused, and it seemed like he was hesitant for his answer. As long as there is a woman with a naked body in front of you, you really can't help yourself but think twice.
He just had to take the bite.
Approaching Min, Prince Won carefully told him. "Why don't we just team up? We are not going to do anything! We are just going to look."
The guy was silent, and it seemed like he really was going to join hands with him.
Just as he blinked, the guy moved so fast, and he almost punched him on his face. His fist just stopped a few centimeters away from his nose bridge—a straight hook. Min was serious about trying to break his face because he did not aim at his lower cheeks.
The prince was so terrified that he leaned away and shut his eyes tightly. The impact was so insane that he could feel the strength he had. He was literally scared to death.
The look on Min's face seemed ruthless as if his glare enough could kill him and drag him to the depths of hell. There, he realized that he messed with the wrong person.
"You are lucky that you are the prince," Min said with a menacing smile as he rolled his shoulders. "If you were just a commoner like me, then I could have already sent you flying all the way to the land ruled by the Song dynasty."
Now that is what you call scary.
