Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne
Chapter 817 Be Clear
The rest of the Cao Clan members and the clan chiefs waited for Woods and Lucilla to sit down before they did.
Meanwhile, Lucas took Queenie to the front of Woods.
"Your Royal Highness," Lucas said curtly.
Queenie let herself be led by Lucas, but hesitantly. She merely felt forced to comply. She felt like she had no choice but to obey her sister. She did something wrong, after all. Otherwise, she would never attend the banquet. If she had a choice, she'd prefer to go around on Rocky's magical spiritual beast than attend a banquet.
"Lucas, how are you doing? It's been a few months since we last saw each other," Woods said with a smile. Lucas was one of the powerful masters of the Timber Deity Empire. Woods regarded him highly.
Even when they were apart, Lucas kept a close relationship with Woods. They remained in contact with each other. That was the only reason he accepted Lucilla's invitation to attend the banquet. He accepted for Lucas' sake.
"Yes. I heard that you have assisted Princess Alyssa on the Gehenna Border in the past few months. I was waiting for you to return, but I didn't expect that you went to help the disaster relief under the command of His Majesty," Lucas responded with a smile.
"Yes, I've been very busy in the past few months. But of course, I'd happily arrange a quick meeting with you so we could catch up and chat." Woods nodded and then looked at Queenie. "Miss Queenie," he remarked, "You've become even more beautiful since the last time we saw each other. But you seem to be in distress. How are you? You must be feeling anxious as you are about to meet someone you like."
Queenie always went wherever Lucas went, so Woods had known her for a long time. He also knew just how stubborn she got, so he took the opportunity to tease her and break the ice.
"You're right. So does that mean you're allowing me to see who
eyes on Mary. She was a beautiful lady with a slender figure. "Your daughter is so beautiful!" he told Raef.
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Royal Highness. I'm greatly flattered," Mary said in a seductive voice as she raised her glass.
Woods also politely drank a toast in return.
"Mary, it's a great honor for you to see His Royal Highness. This means a lot for our Xiao Clan as well. Why don't you just stay and serve His Royal Highness?" Raef finally said. He'd been waiting all night for an opportunity to say it.
"Oh, she doesn't have to do that!" Woods uttered, waving his hand to refuse. He looked at Raef's eyes and saw his intentions clearly. He conveniently brought his attractive daughter for him to meet. He obviously had another motive apart from gratitude. Although Mary was a beautiful woman, she was not his type. Moreover, Woods did not want Raef to easily fulfill his sneaky intentions. He wouldn't give them a chance. Now that he was competing with several princes of the Timber Deity Empire openly and secretly, he had to be careful. He didn't want more gossip to form behind his back. More so, he had to avoid being in an intimate relationship with any woman. From his experience, some women could bring great trouble.
