Chapter 11: You Dare to Touch My Man!
Through the contract, I learned that the Little Princess was currently having breakfast at a noodle shop outside. Yake quickly dressed and hurried to the noodle shop.
“This should be the place.”
According to the position I sensed from the Little Princess, it was definitely this noodle shop in front of me. Yake took a deep breath and walked into the establishment.
“Yake, why are you only just arriving? So slow! I’ve already eaten who knows how many bowls!”
Yake easily spotted the Little Princess, who was still busy slurping noodles, surrounded by a crowd that was probably drawn there by her astonishing appetite.
“Well, I was so tired yesterday that as soon as I lay down, I fell asleep and just woke up now.”
“Really? But you were doing that kind of thing in bed last night, so I’ll let it slide. Hurry up and sit down to eat breakfast; we have a lot to do today.”
With so many people around, the Little Princess couldn’t really say what Yake had been doing last night. Nonetheless, many eyes turned towards him.
【How could you do something with such a small child? Are you even human?】
That was probably the gist of what those onlookers were thinking. It made Yake feel pretty uncomfortable.
“Alright. It’s just taking you around the city today; it’s not a big deal. Boss, please bring me a bowl of noodles.”
Yake sat down opposite the Little Princess and called out, raising his hand.
“Coming right up! Please hold on for a moment; it’s just a bit busy here.”
Unlike when the Little Princess first arrived, this was the peak business hour. The boss was still busy serving the customers who were waiting in line.
“By the way, Aier, why did you choose to come to this noodle shop? Does it have something you like?”
From what I knew about the Little Princess, she generally wouldn’t eat noodles in the morning. Yet, for some reason, this time was a different story.
“Of course! The noodles here taste very similar to the ones from my hometown, so I came here to eat. Is there something wrong with that?”
“Not at all, just a bit curious. Was there even noodle soup where you come from? And I remember you said you’ve never really left your home before.”
Given the number of strangers around, Yake couldn’t reveal the Little Princess’s true identity. He had to keep it pretty vague.
“Of course there were! And… even if I’ve never left home, what does that have to do with eating noodles? Don’t forget, even if I don’t go out, I can get whatever I want with a snap of my fingers.”
“Ah… now that you mention it, that does make sense.”
With Aierjisi being the Blood Clan Little Princess, she could just ask the steward in the royal palace for anything she wanted. There was no need for her to leave the palace herself.
“Here you go, customer! This is the noodles you ordered; I hope you enjoy your meal. And how about you, would you like another bowl of noodles?”
The boss finally finished and brought Yake’s noodles over, also asking the Little Princess if she wanted another bowl.
“I’ll pass; this time, I just came to satisfy a craving, and I’m about done. Let’s see how many more bowls he can devour.”
Aierjisi patted her little belly, fully satisfied this time.
“Alright then, you enjoy your meal. If you want more noodles after finishing, just let me know, and I’ll take care of it. I’ll be off to handle things.”
“Okay, okay.”
After the boss left, Yake picked up a mouthful of noodles and stuffed them into his mouth.
“So this is the flavor from your so-called hometown? It’s really spicy! Do the people there all like this kind of taste?”
The moment he took a bite, Yake felt the chili content in the bowl was quite high, though it didn’t quite compare to the spicy ramen he had eaten earlier.
“Of course! Doesn’t that spiciness feel great after finishing?”
The Little Princess smiled as she watched him. Before coming to this world, she had loved this kind of flavored noodles; the right amount of spice made the noodles exceptionally enjoyable.
“I don’t feel it’s that great, but it’s somewhat refreshing.”
“Well, that’s good enough. There’s really no difference between being ‘great’ and ‘refreshing.’ Hurry up and eat; let’s get to business afterward.”
“Oh.”
While Yake continued talking and focusing on his noodles, Aierjisi sat across from him, watching intently.
“Excuse me. Are you Miss Aierjisi and Mr. Yake?”
Just then, a silver-haired woman walked into the noodle shop and approached them.
“Who are you?”
The Little Princess began evaluating the silver-haired woman standing before her. The aura around her hinted that she was likely a big shot in this city. What could she want? Could it be that she was one of Harker’s subordinates from the Chaos Clan?
“Hello, nice to meet you. I am Yin, the Guard Captain of Bield City.”
“Hello, I’m curious about what Miss Yin wants with us.”
Seeing the woman extend her hand, the Little Princess also reached out to shake hands.
“The City Lord sent me to find you; he wants to meet the two of you.”
“The City Lord?”
Hearing that such an important figure wanted to meet her raised the Little Princess’s suspicions. It seemed likely that the City Lord was a henchman of the Chaos Clan. They had just arrived in this city yesterday! He knew about them already and even arranged to meet with them. There had to be something shady going on.
“Alright, I understand. After he finishes this bowl of noodles, we’ll go with you to meet the City Lord.”
The Little Princess evaluated their current situation. Although she suspected that the City Lord might have ulterior motives, she knew she had to go meet him. Otherwise, she might just end up fighting with this woman named Yin. And from the energy she felt, this woman likely wasn’t much weaker than herself. In a fight, she wouldn’t gain much.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you two at the front of the noodle shop. No need to rush. Enjoy your meal.”
Seeing Yake quicken his eating pace to get to the City Lord sooner, Yin patted his shoulder, telling him not to eat so fast.
【Hiss. This woman really needs to be dealt with! How dare she touch my servant!】
Seeing Yin’s hand on Yake’s shoulder diminished the Little Princess’s impression of her in an instant. She felt quite annoyed.
What the heck! This woman just met them and had the audacity to put her hand on her servant’s shoulder. If she got the chance, she’d definitely teach her a lesson. Her servant wasn’t someone just anyone could touch!
