Chapter 233: Illusion Tricks

"What the-" Lynette muttered as she believed the Dragon Jade Porcelain Vase would shatter into pieces.

However, Zen was smiling wickedly as he held the Dragon Jade Porcelain Vase with both his hands.

"How did you catch it in time?" Lynette asked.

The Dragon Jade Porcelain Vase was close to a millimeter before shattering and he was still standing at that time so she couldn't understand how he managed to save it.

"Why are you acting so surprised?" Zen replied back with a question of his.

Seeing Lynette being dazed, Zen felt a bit better from their previous fight where he had to resort to using the platinum card to win. 

Although it was possible for him to reveal more of his other techniques, he didn't feel like using them and wanted to end it in a more carefree way.

Lynette snapped out of her daze before walking toward Zen and snatching the Dragon Jade Porcelain Vase away from his hand.

Afterward, she glared at him fiercely, "You're lucky that you caught it in time despite not telling me how you did it. Otherwise, Princess Krista Dragoon would never forgive you if you broke her favorite vase where she is prideful about beating the prince from the White Tiger Kingdom."

Zen chuckled softly as he shrugged his shoulders since he wasn't going to be stupid enough to break Krista Dragoon's item.

"Do you really want to know how I managed to catch the vase before it shattered?" Zen asked teasingly, hoping to itch Lynette's curiosity to get some revenge for interrogating him.

Lynette twitched her brows slightly but shook her head. 

"There's no point asking further when only the outcome is what matters. Anything in between the process is pointless." Lynette said softly and retrieved a small cloth.

Afterward, she started wiping the Dragon Jade Porcelain Vase to make sure it became clean and spotless.

"It's an illusion trick," Zen shouted when he figured Lynette was different from others.

She wasn't the curious type and would only care about her duty while neglecting other things that she deemed unimportant or unnecessary.

Since knowing how he saved the Dragon Jade Porcelain Vase has no change in the outcome, Lynette didn't bother pressuring Zen to answer her question.

Meanwhile, Lynette continued to wipe around the Dragon Jade Porcelain Vase as she nodded her head. 

"I figured it would be something like an illusion. You probably cast an illusion spell when I was caught off-guard." Lynette said calmly.

Zen smiled briefly at her calm emotion. "Indeed, I cast an illusion spell when you were trying to bluff me to drop the vase down."

Zen didn't deny her words and explained when he cast the illusion spell on her.

Sometime later, Lynette finished cleaning the Dragon Jade Porcelain Vase with a smile on her face as she turned around.

"Let us move forward now. Princess Krista Dragoon should have been waiting for a long time," Lynette said as she started walking ahead without caring for Zen's opinion.

Meanwhile, Zen glanced at the Dragon Jade Porcelain Vase with a solemn expression for a while before following right behind Lynette.

After many twists and turns, Lynette arrived at a door before knocking on the door.

"Princess Krista Dragoon, I have brought the 'assumed' guest here," Lynette said politely from behind the door.

Zen smiled bitterly when he heard Lynette said she brought in the assumed guest, almost like she still wasn't sure he's the correct person.

"Mhm, I see it, you can come inside with that so-called Zen," Krista Dragoon's voice echoed.

Lynette nodded her head and said, "Then I shall come inside with the 'assumed' guest."

Afterward, Lynette placed her hand in the doorknob before opening the door.

Creak!

The door made a creaking sound and Lynette walked inside first as she bowed slightly in front of Krista Dragoon.

"Princess Krista Dragoon," Lynette said before glaring at Zen because he wasn't bowing down to her.

"Hurry up and bow before the princess," Lynette sent a mental transmission to Zen and told him to quickly bow.

'Tch, I'm not a native in the Jade Kingdom so I don't follow your basics of etiquette,' Zen exclaimed inwardly as he had no intention to bow before Krista Dragoon.

Not to mention, she was his woman and they know each other too much to do something as unnecessary as showing etiquette.

Lynette gritted her teeth in anger when she realized he was refusing to bow and wished to raise her wand again against him.

"It's fine Lynette, he's always this rude, almost like a barbarian so it was obvious for him to not know our etiquette." Krista Dragoon waved her hand up to allow Lynette to raise her head up and dissed Zen at the same time.

Lynette stood back up and had her fist clenched tightly with her expression that could be seen as growling toward Zen.

"You don't have to show that kind of expression at me, Lynette," Zen said softly when he could feel her eyes turning into daggers, piercing him deeply.

And he continued, "We are too familiar with each other and if I actually bow before Krista, I bet she would go into a deep shock or even have a heart attack because of it."

"THE AUDACITY!" 

Lynette shouted in anger when Zen basically cursed Krista Dragoon on dying.

Afterward, she quickly retrieved her wand from her spatial ring and started multi-casting some spells.

"Enough Lynette," Krista Dragoon's voice echoed in the room as she stopped Lynette's action.

"He's always joking like that and I doubt he would ever mean it. After all, he would be the one in pain if I actually died considering the things we did." 

Krista Dragoon added as she stared at Zen who started whistling like he wasn't guilty about this situation.

Lynette nodded her head despite still feeling some hatred toward Zen for his joke as he clearly went overboard. 

"You should never joke like that ever again because I feared that I wouldn't be able to control my actions in killing you." Lynette sent a mental transmission at Zen to warn him of his action.
