A Red Demon Scorpion no larger than a palm sat atop a table, feasting on meat. Ever since it had shrunk in size, its appetite had decreased proportionally. This unexpected change actually thrilled the Red Demon Scorpion, as it could now perpetually enjoy the pleasure of a full stomach.
Footsteps echoed outside the room, followed by two light knocks. Then, the voice of Prince St. Antonio came.
"Miss Ai Lin, are you there?" he asked.
Quickly, the Red Demon Scorpion clenched back into Ai Lin's hair, assuming the role of an ornament. Ai Lin responded, "Please come in, Prince St. Antonio."
The door swung open as Prince St. Antonio, now dressed in simple white clothes, walked in, his guards standing outside the door.
"Respected Miss Ai Lin, how do you find your stay here so far?" Prince St. Antonio asked with deep reverence in his voice.
"It's tolerable. However, not being able to leave the vicinity is quite inconvenient" Ai Lin replied.
