Chapter 223 The Prince Arrived (Part One)
"Is it superior?" Lily asked in surprise.
"Yes." "You're lucky. I don't know where did you get it from, but I can't help but wonder," said Lucas as he cast a meaningful glance at her.
"Golden Street, I heard it was an ancient capital of the six dynasty in K Country. There are a lot of treasures passed down among the people." Lily said with a smile.
"You are right." Lucas returned the blue and white porcelain to her and looked around in the exhibition room. He stopped in front of an oil painting of Nora and said, "you have a lot of treasures."
"Many of them are left by ancestors and the four generations of my family are the gynecologists." Lily shrugged her shoulders. She explained perfectly why these invaluable treasure came from. Eva admired her superb acting skill and rigorous lines in her heart. Lucas looked calm and indifferent. He showed no signs of suspicion or special concern.
Lily came out of the exhibition room and went to the kitchen to pick up the small baked pancakes. In the side hall, Lucas and Eva were enjoying the huge water palace which occupied a wall. The colorful hot fishes freely swam around through the glass wall.
Suddenly, a scream came from the kitchen. When they heard it, they rushed into the kitchen.
The kitchen was a mess, and the tap didn't work. A fountain of water gushed out, and the splashed water made Lily's whole body wet. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She ran towards the door, trying to avoid the sprayed water. She took a limp as if unintentionally, and pounced forward. She just fell into the arms of the oncoming Lucas.
Looking at them, Eva gasped. What a good plot! Enough heavenly thunder! Enough dog blood! Lily must be an imperial concubine in her previous life who was skillful in luring men.
However, it seemed that Lucas didn't change his face. He grabbed her shoulder and straightened her wet body up. "Where is the tap? I'll turn it off and help you repair the tap." He said in a calm tone, without any sign of friction or electricity.
She swallowed hard and then pointed to the window. "It's outside."
After Lucas went out, Eva watched him disappear from the door and whispered to Lily, "what do you think? Are you sure that you can handle him?"
"Don't worry. I can handle him." Lily smiled insidiously. She turned around and walked out of the kitchen to change her clothes. Lucas was like a stone. She couldn't be too hasty. She needed to be patient.
Clarissa made a strange face at her back. She was determined to go against her will. She pretended to act as her ally and secretly obstructed him from falling into the trap of the snake.
When Lily came down, the tap had been fixed by Lucas.
"Oh, my God. I really don't know what to do without you." Lily said in a very grateful tone.
"It's not a big deal," Lucas curled his lips.
Lily took out the pancake she made from the oven and made a pot of black tea for them. She told them to sit under the tree in the yard and enjoy their afternoon tea.
Eva found that Lily was also a very talented person. She had no talent in the work, but she could get into the kitchen. The small pancakes were soft and crisp, delicious and delicious.
Lily took a sip of her black tea and looked at Eva. She smiled and said, "Yesterday when we talked on the Internet, you told me that you were a royal bodyguard. Then the identity of Lucas must be very special. Otherwise, it doesn't bother you, a royal bodyguard, to personally protect him."
Eva was shocked by her words. She didn't expect that Lily would say such a stupid word. Was she intentional, or was she just out of her mind? How could she talk about this with her? As a royal bodyguard, it was a taboo for her to easily expose her and her identity as a protected person! It was just like throwing mud at her and hitting her professional ethics.
She secretly glanced at Lucas who remained calm without any expression on his face, but she guessed that he would be more or less dissatisfied with her.
"I must be drunk yesterday. I was talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously." She waved her hand and cast a glance at Lily. Lily saw everything but followed what she said and pretended to be surprised. "Eva, you're bragging again. You're still bragging even when you're drunk as before. I have thought that you're really that awesome!"
Eva smiled embarrassedly and said nothing.
Lily turned to him and asked, "what do you do?"
"I'm just a businessman." Lucas said in a low voice.
"Antique business?" Lily asked on purpose.
Without saying anything, he just shrugged. He didn't want to talk too much with strangers about himself. Right at this time, his phone rang and it was from Jerry. After he answered it, he stood up and left, as if Jerry had something important to say.
Lily was a little disappointed. She didn't finish half of the wedding which was carefully planned today. It seemed that she had to plan it next time.
On her way back, Eva thought that Lucas would ask her about the violation of professional ethics. She had intended to pretend to sleep, but she failed.
"Did you drink last night?" His voice was low.
Fortunately, she had thought of an excuse ahead of time. "I was about to find some juice to drink, but I took it wrong and turned out to be Tina's Pineapple Beer. However, I only drank a few drinks and realized that I didn't drink any more alcohol." She muttered.
Several glass of drinks were enough to drive her mad. He sighed, no wonder she took the initiative this morning. It turned out that the effect of alcohol hadn't worked yet, which made him feel a little surprised.
When he returned to the villa, he found that it was Daisy.
She frowned and looked gloomy. It seemed that she was in a bad mood. Seeing the figure of Lucas, her gloomy eyes lightened.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?" His words were very normal. And it made Daisy very disappointed. She had not seen him for such a long time. She should at least express a bit of missing him! "Well, here is no outsider, so don't be overcautious." She pouted.
"You look unhappy, your highness." Asked Clarissa tentatively. Although she was sent here to protect her father, she was still her counselor, and should solve her problems.
"Edward is coming to my birthday party. The queen is going to take this opportunity to announce our marriage." Frowning, Daisy sighed.
"Didn't your highness agree to marry Prince Edward before?" Eva shrugged. Since she had promised the queen, it was not easy to go back on her word.
"But I don't plan to get married so early. Let's wait for at least three or five years." Taking a big gulp of the Pineapple Beer on the tea table to vent her anger, wing had thought that she could delay the investigation, but she hadn't expected that the queen would announce her marriage so soon.
"So, your Highness has left the palace to hide in my place?" A trace of sharp light flashed across Lucas's eyes. When he saw that her bodyguard came with a suitcase, he knew that they were not just coming to sit down.
Eva was scared. She knew that Daisy couldn't run away from the reality. She knew that there must be a king in this world. As long as she was in H Country, Daisy would be found by the queen sooner or later wherever she hid.
