Chapter 59: Little Thief Celeste
Chapter 59: Little Thief Celeste
The Crown Prince had heard about the arrogance of the Disciples from the Great Demon Sect.
Now, he was seeing it with his own eyes. He could see that there was no exaggeration. These people really didn't respect anyone.
If it wasn't for her identity, he would have even thought about killing that woman for such a behaviour.
He could only Direct his anger towards the City Lord.
It was one thing to invite someone from the Great Demon Sect. He had also sent a few invitations. But to plead with them to attend?
This City Lord had completely embarrassed him.
'I will teach him a lesson when it's all over. As for this woman, if she doesn't go too far, I won't do anything to her. But if she crosses the limit, I might just make her disappear!'
The Great Demon Sect was dangerous and no one tried to harm their disciple. But what if they didn't find out?
He had thousands of ways to make that Woman disappear, without getting the blame.
He was someone who used the Elder of the Great Demon Sect to kill his brother and still survived. He knew how to take care of things while staying in the shadows.
If possible, he didn't want to go that far.
He straightened his back and the fake smile returned to his face.
"Thank you for bringing such a guest here."
He thanked the City Lord. Only he knew how much anger he was hiding inside his heart.
The City Lord actually thought that he was thanking him. His face lit up. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He had received the favour of the Crown Prince. His future was bright. He was going to be awarded heavily in the future. At least that's what his imagination led him to believe.
The Crown Prince turned around and marked the beginning of the celebration with the cutting of cake.
The youngsters approached him, wishing him for his birthday while also doing some small talk.
Most of their attention still remained on the woman from the Great Demon Sect who was busy drinking the wine from a glass in a corner.
Following the cake cutting ceremony, another event was held for all the youngsters.
It was said to be for entertainment, but in reality, it was an event for all the youngsters to show off.
Everyone was allowed to challenge one person for battle and show their skills.
None of the youngsters wanted to appear like cowards. They also wanted to test their strength against the best of other sects. Hence, many of them came forward to challenge others.
"You kids have fun. I will be taking my leave."
The woman from the Great Demon Sect didn't stay behind for this event.
In her eyes, they were all kids. She wasn't even interested in seeing their skills.
"Are you leaving so early? And here I thought, I would get to face someone from the Great Demon Sect."
The son of Asura Sect Master stood up as he watched her leave.
Even though he had tried to control himself, he couldn't let her go like that.
He wanted to bring the woman down from her high throne. He didn't know if he could defeat the Head Disciple of the Great Demon Sect, but the woman was just an Inner Disciple.
If he could defeat her, he could break the myth about the Great Demon Sect being invincible.
It was an opportunity like never before. The Head Disciples of many other Sects were here.
Their sects were spread throughout the continent. Although not as great as the Asura Sect, their sects had great influence.
It was only a matter of time before this news was going to spread.
"I don't have time to play around."
The woman waved her head, not paying any attention.
"It makes sense for you to be scared. I shouldn't force you."
The young man sat down. Although he made it appear like he was being kind and backing off, his words were filled with taunts.
The woman, almost out of the hall, stopped.
....
Everyone's attention was on the woman who had stopped. Someone had actually challenged her, and it was none other than the son of Asura Sect Master.
All of them knew that they were in for a great show to come. But none noticed that there was another small guest in the hall.
No one noticed that a small guest entered. The cake in the back kept disappearing, little by little.
Celeste sat next to the cake, which was taller than her.
Like a little child addicted to sweets, she kept eating the cake with her small mouth. She neither knew why the atmosphere in his hall was so tense, nor cared.
The cake was just too tasty for her to pay attention to anything else. Celeste had become a cake thief.
....
"If you want to be beaten, you should have said it from the beginning. I'm feeling merciful, so I will grant your wishes."
The young woman from the Great Demon Sect turned around.
She didn't want to waste her time, but it looked like some people had forgotten why the Great Demon Sect was such a towering existence in the Eastern Continent.
Since they wanted to challenge her, he was willing to let them see the consequences of going against someone from the Great Demon Sect.
"Junior Brother Yang, are you sure about it?"
The Crown Prince felt a little hesitant. He had brought the son of his master with him. And even he didn't expect something like this to happen.
It was fine if his Junior Brother won, but what if he lost? Things could get complicated if the son of Asura Sect Master couldn't even defeat an ordinary Inner Disciple from the Great Demon Sect.
These kinds of rumours were going to spread just as fast. And he could only imagine the expressions of his master.
It was still fine if he lost. But what if he died? The consequences were far too worse for his imagination.
