Luck is a Charm

The table was seated with 4 women and 1 man which instantly attracted a ton of attention.

"Look, aren't those two Princess Krista and Princess Leila sitting there."

"Not only that, even Madam Evie is sitting there."

"Man, I want to kill that brat that gets to sit with them. I would die just to be able to get closer to them."

The other diners were full of jealousy toward Zen but they didn't dare to cause trouble.

They had seen Zen's behavior and attitude at the people that tried to mess with him. Daemon Kaiso and Carl Heather were the perfect examples for them to stay put.

Meanwhile, Zen really hoped that those youth would come and make trouble at their table.

'Damn it, this atmosphere is just terrible,' Zen cursed inwardly when he was squished between two women who were looking at him in amusement.

Occasionally, Krista Dragoon would wink and smile seductively at Zen. She was purposely arousing his lust so he would commit a mistake that will allow her to use it as a chance to blackmail him.

'You should know our situation pretty well since you have Madam Evie by your side who is the owner of an intelligence organization." Krista Dragoon said softly and continued.

"We are only two weak women who are being eyed like a fallen prey. Very soon, we might be forced to marry some ugly noble." Krista Dragoon said pitifully.

Zen smiles bitterly in response since it doesn't take a genius to know her speech.

She was trying to act like a powerless girl being forced to satisfy disgusting bastards and gain his sympathy.

Although her acting was top-notch, Zen wasn't a brainless fool nor a righteous man that would get angry at such injustice.

Seeing no response from Zen, Krista Dragoon knew she needed to do better if she wanted to rope him in.

"Currently, the empress despises us and wants us dead. She would even be happy if we were forced to become a sex slave for someone to play with." Krista Dragoon said depressingly while raising her leg slowly to rub Zen's leg.

Zen felt the soft texture of her leg and stared at Krista Dragoon who winked her left eye.

'Sigh, shrewd women are truly a pain in the ass. She even used this kind of seduction skill.' Zen complained inwardly.

It wasn't that he was annoyed by her action but it was the opposite. He felt extremely good and wished to hold her leg with his bare hand.

However, he could only resist his temptation and act naturally since Evie and Angela are starting to get suspicious.

Krista Dragoon decided to take off her high heels secretly as she used her bare feet to rub Zen's leg and continued to reach upper.

Zen coughs softly to avoid being suspicious but his little brother is starting to misbehave.

Zen hurriedly said, "So what are you planning to do by telling us this information?"

Krista Dragoon smiled brightly as she said, "I hope that you can assist me in breaking our predicament." 

Afterward, Krista Dragoon cast a spatial barrier to prevent any eavesdropping as she said solemnly, "My father is currently ill and is unable to handle the court matter anymore. At this rate, the empress will gain full authority and force us to marry someone else."

Zen didn't reply and only nodded slowly while controlling his urge. Her smooth and jade-like feet were in his upper thigh. It would soon reach his little brother and when that happened, it would be the start of a disaster.

Krista Dragoon smiles inwardly, 'Let's see how long you can handle my movement. If I still don't take advantage of this to gain support then our fate is doom.'

Krista Dragoon was unwilling to accept her fate at being married to some ugly bastard. Since the empress wants her to live a life worse than death then she wouldn't be polite either.

With a solemn expression, Krista Dragoon said, "I want your power and more specifically, Madam Evie's support for me when I rebel against the empress."

Evie raised her eyebrow slightly when she was suddenly mentioned by Krista Dragoon.

'Oho, seems like her true target is actually me and Zen is just a bonus.' Evie chuckled softly as she figured out her intention.

Still, Evie didn't say anything as she wanted to see what Zen would do. She wasn't the type to be interested in overthrowing a kingdom despite having the power to do so.

It was boring and bland to her taste when everything is under her control. She was simply in this kingdom to enjoy some entertainment.

Krista Dragoon glanced at Evie slightly and she was disappointed to see no reaction from her.

'As expected, it's hard to get Madam Evie to help me out. The only way is through Zen who seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with her.' Krista Dragoon sighs inwardly as she needs to seduce Zen.

If she could gain Zen's attraction then he might talk with Madam Evie into helping her out. After all, it was the first time Madam Evie had ever helped someone out.

Someone of her status was not something that people can touch. Not even the imperial family or the empress dares to make a move against Evie.

Evie's existence was akin to a god in this kingdom because of her family.

When Zen finally finished thinking, he used his right hand and grabbed Krista Dragoon's feet without letting anyone notice.

Rubbing it slightly, Krista Dragoon felt a tinge of ticklish in her feet but she didn't move away and allowed him to touch as he pleased.

'Just some touch is better than having my body completely sullied by others.' Krista Dragoon said inwardly as she held Leila Dragoon's hand to calm her emotion.

Zen smiled bitterly when he saw her reaction. 'Seducing a man yet clearly unwilling to do this. Sigh, no matter where in the world, injustice and unfairness always followed behind.'

Krista Dragoon clearly hates men and their lewd expression. But she was willingly using her feet to seduce Zen because she had no other choice left.

Zen was able to understand her difficulty since time was against her. If she had power and support then she wouldn't have resorted to such a method.

Pondering for a few moments, Zen asked softly, "If I decide to help you then what do I get in return?" 

"If you can really help me succeed then I don't mind giving you my body for a night of pleasure." Krista Dragoon gritted her teeth slightly as she made this decision.
