The S Kingdom is truly unknown; I’ve never heard of it. What’s their specialty? Must be so worthless folk trinkets, right?
But seeing Connor and his large group of guards, the S Kingdom doesn’t seem poor.
She could recognize quality goods, and at a glance, she saw so of them were dressed in extraordinary attire, even their shoes were specially made, not making a sound as they walked.
After so chitchat, Connor followed the old man to the study upstairs for a private talk.
The guards exited the living room, standing vigil in the Garden Estate, all standing straight, not making a sound, obviously well-trained.
Zoe and the old lady returned to the room to look at the gifts. Zoe put away the old man’s gift nicely. Thinking it over, she felt leaving so many guards outside was inappropriate.
The old lady probably still doesn’t think highly of Connor, not bothering to entertain even his guards.
Zoe had to call the servant, made mung bean soup, cut waterlon, washed grapes, cherries, and other fruits, and sent them to the guards as refreshnts.
The weather in September, at midday, was still very hot. Even a girl like her couldn’t stand wearing long sleeves, yet these guards not only wore long sleeves but also wore high-collared guard uniforms, looking hot.
Hel was quite surprised when Zoe brought mung bean soup; they were used to running errands outside and wouldn’t casually eat while on duty.
"Is your na Hel? I just heard Connor... the Prince calling you that."
"Yes, I am Hel, Miss Zoe."
"You know my na?"
Of course, they knew. Everything about Connor’s presence here was investigated by the King’s people. Even though Zoe wasn’t an important character, Hel’s mory was good, so it was easy to rember.
"Heard the prince ntion it."
Zoe’s expression was one of sudden realization, but she didn’t quite believe it; Connor wouldn’t talk about soone as insignificant as her with the guards; ntioning Cherry would make more sense.
But she didn’t expose him and, smiling, invited Hel and his n to enjoy the fruit and mung bean soup.
Hel looked at her genuine smile and then at his hard-working subordinates and decided it was right to have them rest temporarily and replenish so fluids.
The group of guards looked at Zoe with gratitude in their eyes.
Zoe simply smiled and chatted with them in a soft voice. She didn’t understand the S Kingdom’s language, but she was fluent in English, so there was no difficulty in communicating.
Half an hour later, she began to hear various gossip information, though it might not be very useful, but she got a basic understanding of the S Kingdom and began to view Connor’s status in a new light.
She sat beside the tall Hel, feeling delighted.
Chatting with handso guys from exotic lands while satisfying her strong curiosity—simply perfect!
See, others really buy into her approach, although they wouldn’t divulge confidential information, they were willing to tell her trivial things, treating her exceptionally well, like absolute gentlen.
Unlike Left Hong, who was as impenetrable as a stone wall, ridiculously cautious, making her feel defeated. No matter how she tried, she couldn’t get through.
Harry Hunter had previously allowed her to make a request, a precious opportunity she hadn’t dared to use.
Now she was thinking about whether to use this opportunity on Left Hong.
Too unreasonable a request, even if Left Hong agreed, Harry Hunter wouldn’t comply. She must think carefully, not waste it.
However, today such a big event, why didn’t Lady Demon appear?
She’s supposed to like Connor, now that Connor is back, why is she hiding? Doesn’t seem like her style!
Zoe’s itch for gossip couldn’t be repressed and was burning fiercely!
