44 The First Date - Moonlight Waltz Prelude
Asura ignored the prince and focused on what was important to him while using his parallel thinking to monitor the prince and his actions.
"What would you like to eat, Xue'er?" His voice seemed more charming, speaking like a prince from a fairy tale as she looked at him with shimmering eyes.
Asura's mature voice enamoured Mu Xue, causing her cheeks to flush slightly as she pointed to various dishes... "These... these."
Her adorable voice made his heart pound, and he ordered many dishes containing meat or fish and vegetables. Mu Xue didn't care about the prices, smiling at Asura as he signalled for the waiter. "Anything for you, Xue'er."
Following this restaurant etiquette, he snapped his arm and fingers, and their VIP attendant came over with two glasses of wine, water and some bread.
"My lady and lord, are you ready to order?" The polite male waiter asked, wearing a light blue suit and jacket with a small cap. "I would like to order some appetisers... Can I have a mixed platter of roasted meat, fish, vegetables and cheese?" Asura requested politely, and Mu Xue nodded along with his requests, her lips almost drooling and trusting his choice.
"Understood, and the main courses?" The waiter questioned with a smile, noting down the request.
"We will have one signature fish dish and one of your pork and beef signature dishes if possible?" Asura requested politely as Mu Xue looked at him with sparkles in her eyes, amazed by his maturity and choices.
"Of course, sir, and deserts?"
Asura glanced at Mu Xue, who shook her head.
"May we order after eating the appetiser? I think my lovely wife doesn't know what to eat. There are so many wonderful choices. Also, may you bring a bottle of each of the wines? I enjoy their taste very much." Asura explained, causing Mu Xue to blush lightly as the waiter nodded professionally.
"Of course, Sir. I will get your appetiser soon and bring the drinks momentarily." The waiter bowed deeply and left gracefully, causing Asura to lean back against his chair as Mu Xue gazed at him lovingly.
Asura poured Mu Xue some water to avoid getting drunk too easily, causing her to hold the glass, but she didn't drink. But stared at his handsome face as he drank some himself, causing Mu Xue to bite her lip.
Asura noticed her stare and leaned forward, taking her soft hands as he rubbed her palm... "Are you okay, Xue'er?"
"I just realised how much I love you." Mu Xue replied honestly, causing Asura to look stunned momentarily as he squeezed her hands and reached towards her cheek, rubbing her soft skin as she blushed... "Me too."
Their intimate atmosphere continued as Asura kept massaging her palm and cheek, causing her to relax and close her eyes with a satisfied expression... "Mnn"
Mu Xue relaxed into his touch, causing Asura to enjoy the scene as the appetiser arrived moments later, but Mu Xue didn't notice as she opened her eyes.
He ignored her and entered the alleyway, where he saw Asura waiting calmly... "So you followed us."
It startled Valos at how Asura knew he was there, causing him to straighten his back arrogantly...
However, before he could even speak, a fist smashed into his face, filled with a strange flow of electricity that stunned him, causing him to collapse to his knees.
"Do you understand why you are kneeling before me?" Asura asked coldly, his gaze turning dangerous as Valos felt his soul tremble under the pressure...
Bang!
Asura didn't play—today was a date with his beloved, the woman he wanted to make his first wife, and this insect was following him around all day, almost ruining their meal as his knee smashed into the prince's face, crushing several of his teeth and busting open his lip.
Blood leaked down Valos's mouth, causing him to glare upwards... "How dare you hit me!"
Asura kicked him in the stomach, sending him tumbling backwards as his maid watched in shock, her eyes widening as Asura stepped forward, lifting Valos by his collar... "I will do more than hit you should you ever come close to her again."
Valos was terrified as his lost teeth oozed blood before it dribbled down his cheek when his maid finally reacted, drawing a short sword... "Release the master!"
Asura turned his attention towards the maid, who froze at his terrifying killing intent as she dropped the blade and fell to her knee, urinating herself in terror—this woman was the only one to be made into the prince's toy for money and vanity.
Asura returned his attention to Valos, who was trembling in fear... "Do you understand?"
Valos spat out some blood, nodding his head... "Y-yes."
Asura released him and vanished, causing the maid to rush forward and help the prince, who was bruised and covered in blood...
"P-Prince... you're soiling yourself again!" The maid wept as Asura was already stepping into the hotel.
In honesty, Asura knew the king would not punish him as the plot to take down the Fenix domain needed him to stay alive and not alert his father.
That's why he didn't take the prince's rubbish.
The place where his princess awaited, sitting on the red sofa kicking her legs and looking around before she spotted him, and her face lit up like the kingdom's sky on the anniversary of Althea's death.
"My princess, forgive me for being late." Asura bowed to her as she stood up with a brilliant smile filled with anxiety and anticipation of what the night held for her.
