Even though it was weird that she was there, her looks and body were quite impressive. On top of that, she looked much like Empress Heidi. That young lady would grow into a great beauty for sure in the future.
Princess Sheila hardly paid any mind to Darryl's gaze. She smiled and said mischievously, "Guess?"
Guess?
Darryl's mind immediately blanked. The Jade Fairyland was huge and housed thousands of women—how would he know who she was?
"Master!"
Just as Darryl racked his brains for an answer, they heard a call from outside, followed by Prince Aurin rushing into the room.
Prince Aurin was startled briefly before he turned to lecture Princess Sheila. "Why are you running around again, Sheila? Didn't I tell you yesterday that this is my master's room? You're not allowed to barge in here whenever you want."
Prince Aurin turned to Darryl apologetically. "This is my sister Sheila, Master. She's a little young and reckless, don't fault her too much."
Sister?
Darryl stopped short.
The Prince's sister—was not that the Princess, then?
Princess Sheila burst into giggles before she said proudly, "That's me. I'm the smart, gorgeous Princess Sheila."
As she spoke, Sheila thrust the hairs she had plucked off Darryl back into his palms, pretending to bow deeply. "So sorry for that, Master White Beard. I could not help myself."
Darryl did not have the heart to be angry at the mischievous look on her face. So he just flashed a pained smile.
However, Prince Aurin was startled greatly. He said anxiously, "You've crossed the line, Sister. How could you pull my master's beard?"
"I didn't do it on purpose!" Princess Sheila grumbled, looking like a kicked puppy.
Then, Princess Sheila got on her tiptoes to whisper to Prince Aurin, "Check that out, though. He screamed crazily when I tugged his beard. How would an otherworldly god feel pain? I don't think he's any good if you were to ask me."
'F*ck me!'
Princess Sheila's voice was soft, but Darryl heard her loud and clear. He was torn between annoyance and amusement.
