The Adventures Of The Young Master

"I am the current princess and sole heiress to the throne of Thousand Elf Kingdom. I'm pleased to meet you." Fiarra introduced herself with a bit touch of grace. She looked at Jin Rou with a smile and explained, "I apologize for making you uncomfortable, but I have my reasons to do so."

If people around knew that Princess Fiarra was here in a small town of Dalensale, they would immediately try to find her crazily. Most men adored the princess and all even though many of them had yet to see her.

In fact, there was a fan club for the princess created by some fanatics in the continent.

"Let's hear it. Why is the princess of such a lineage follows me?" Jin Rou felt that this was going to be another set of trouble and he wanted to get away with it, "Ah never mind. Forget that I asked. What ever is it, you can just someone."

"Wait!" Princess Fiarra hurried to stop Jin Rou, "I don't think anyone would be suitable except for you. Why don't you try and hear me out first, Young Friend?"

"You being here is already a smell of trouble." Jin Rou shook his head, "I want a peaceful life for a while."

Princess Fiarra bit her lip. She refused to give up and tried to chase Jin Rou, "If you don't want to help me, our lineage is fated to decline!"

"And what does your Thousand Elf Kingdom has to do with me?" Jin Rou stopped from his tracks and said, "Rise or decline, they have nothing to do with me."

It was the truth. Jin Rou couldn't possibly care all about the falling lineages in the world and be the savior of it. If he did, who would attempt to save him later on? Moreover, the decline of a lineage was inevitable, it's just a matter of time when.

"I know that. But I'm not asking you to help me for free." Fiarra said. She wouldn't lose this opportunity, "I'm willing to give you everything and anything you want."

If other men heard this, they would surely try to kill Jin Rou with jealousy. Just imagine, he was offered this and yet he was turning it down numerous times? He must be an addict!

"Anything I want, you say?" Jin Rou smirked. His smirk had many meanings to it.

Fiarra took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes, anything you want."

"Since you are so insistent, let's hear your concern first." Jin Rou faced Fiarra and said, "Don't ever dare to lie to me, or else you won't get any help from me nor anyone else."

"I want you to act as my future husband." Fiarra explained with a beet red face, "My grandfather is sick and I want him to feel a bit better before he passes away. I don't want him to go on to another life with regret of not seeing me engaged to anyone."

It turned out that Fiarra wanted to put her dying grandfather at ease. Her grandfather had always requested her of this in the past but she ignored it until now. While it was true that one couldn't force someone to marriage, it's also true that forced marriage was a common especially to higher lineages and nobilities.

Her grandfather was dying and no medicines and herbs or treasures could save him. It's now a matter of when he would die.

Her reason sounded simple. But Jin Rou could see the love of Fiarra for her grandfather that she was even willing to take someone normal like him as her dao partner.

But there's a glaring flaw to this.

"If you want a dao partner, your race has many capable and handsome men. Being a princess, you have the very right to choose who to marry in them." Jin Rou asked, "Why bother asking someone you don't personally know? Not to mention, my looks are mediocre."

"I know you are not ordinary." Fiarra shook her head, "My eyes can tell. I can't determine exactly, but out of all the people I met, you are the most capable."

Since Fiarra wanted to act this play, she needed someone capable of protecting himself. She wouldn't want a man who she needed to protect, instead. And judging by Jin Rou's capabilities, he could escape unscathed even in their territory.

"And you are also aware that you will implicate your noble relationships with others in your kingdom should you choose me, right?" Jin Rou said. It's not easy to deal with implicated relationships but if Fiarra thought that she could, Jin Rou had no more reasons to turn her down.

Fiarra nodded. Of course, she was aware of all the effects it might bring by her actions.

"All right, if you become my personal maid now, I will think of accepting your proposal." Jin Rou decided to give her a chance. Han Li liked decisive people, after all. And maybe taking a trip to Thousand Elf Kingdom might be a good thing.

"What...?" Fiarra was about to become happy as the other party accepted her offer almost. But he wanted her to be a maid? Wasn't that ridiculous? Take note, she's the only princess and sole heiress of the kingdom. How could someone make her a personal maid? Wasn't that so low?

"Young Friend, being a maid is a bit too low knowing my status..." Fiarra wanted to explain.

But Jin Rou interrupted her and scoffed, "Princess Fiarra, I really don't care about your identity. I'm just giving you a chance since you are very decisive. Being my personal maid is all I can give you but don't worry, you won't suffer any sort of abuse."

Now, it's a take it or leave it. It's up to Fiarra if she would accent being his maid and all. Of course, the right choice should be she decline. After all, once people knew that she acted as a maid for someone, her image would soon crumble without sparing anything. And that's something she didn't want to see.
