Chapter 174 Chance Encounter
Chapter 174 Chance Encounter
"Mmm~ Grandma Candice's cooking is really delicious!"
Candice smiled and placed various dishes into Diana's bowl.
"Hehehe, you're so sweet-talking!"
Diana stuffed various foods into her mouth and replied indistinctly.
“I’m telling the truth! You can ask Master Adolf if you don’t believe me.”
Adolf picked up a piece of cabbage, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
"Crisp and sweet, it's like being in nature, and the aftertaste is unforgettable! So delicious!"
Candice rolled her eyes. "It's just ordinary stir-fried cabbage, and you're making it sound like a gourmet feast!"
"Can't you speak properly?!"
Adolf coughed lightly, almost choking on the cabbage.
"Cough... Yes, you can!"
Diana shook her head helplessly. 'Master, you're such a suck-up! Don't you know that suck-ups always end up with nothing?'
Seeing Adolf's hesitant expression, Diana decided to help him out again.
"Grandma Candice, you must be so bored living here all alone! Come back to Oliver City with us! I want to eat your cooking every day!"
Candice smiled and patted Diana's head.
"I'm used to being alone and don't like crowds. If Anna wants to eat my cooking, she can come over anytime."
"There are farms in Oliver City too! Grandma Candice, why don't you move there!"
Candice hesitated, which pleased Adolf.
"Yes, Candice! I've already prepared a courtyard over there, exactly the same as here, I guarantee you'll get used to living here!"
Candice then realized what was going on and glared at Adolf.
"Adolf! Did you encourage Anna to come and persuade me?!"
Adolf tried to explain in a flustered manner, but was interrupted.
"You don't need to explain anymore! After all these years, don't you understand? I'll say it one last time, don't waste your time on me!"
After saying that, Candice went back to her room.
Adolf sighed, as if he had aged several years.
Diana silently shoveled the food out of her bowl. 'This isn't my fault! It's your fault for not knowing how to speak properly, Master! Yes! It's not my fault!'
······
A few days later, Adolf arrived at the gate of the courtyard in a luxurious carriage.
"Grandma Candice, what are you doing dressed so formally today? Even your hair is styled so beautifully!"
Candice was dressed very elegantly today, and with the fact that she had taken the Water of Life and become younger, no one would doubt that she was only in her twenties.
“Anna, aren’t you going to the palace today? I’ve got nothing else to do, so I’ll go with you! I can also visit some old friends.”
"Oh, I see! But Grandma Candice, you look so beautiful today!"
As they chatted and laughed, the two arrived outside. Upon seeing this, Adolf wanted to say something but ultimately sighed and looked at Diana.
"Anna, something seems off about the atmosphere in the inner city. Be careful once you enter the palace."
"I understand, Master."
Diana agreed dismissively.
The journey to the palace went smoothly, and Diana peered out of the carriage window.
"I remember the streets used to be quite lively, but now there are hardly any people."
Adolf explained.
"Most of the commoners in the capital have gone to Oliver City, so it will naturally seem deserted."
"Oh, I see!"
Suddenly, a red figure on the side of the street ahead caught Diana's eye.
"Hmm, this person looks so familiar, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."
As if sensing something, the man turned his head and met Diana's gaze the instant the carriage passed him.
Diana scratched her head.
"I do feel like I've seen this somewhere before."
Candice asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong, Anna? Is this someone you know? Should we stop the car?"
Diana shook her head.
"It's nothing, it's nothing, he's not an important person."
"Senior sister—wait for me, senior sister—"
A hurried shout came from behind the carriage.
Adolf and Candice both looked at Diana.
Are you sure it's not someone important?
Diana gave an awkward laugh.
"Hehe, you must have called someone else. I don't have any junior brothers."
"It's me, Senior Sister Anna! It's me, Rhine!"
-
Diana felt uncomfortable being stared at by the two men.
"Maybe...maybe he really does have a senior sister named Anna!"
Candice simply couldn't stand it anymore.
"parking!"
The carriage slowly came to a stop. A moment later, Rhine ran breathlessly to the carriage and waved his hands incessantly at the carriage window.
"I...I knew I could find you, Senior Sister!"
Diana's face darkened. 'How did this guy even find this place?!'
Candice leaned out the window and shone her hand toward Rhine.
"Young man, come up here and talk to me!"
Rhine, without any hesitation, smiled and thanked him before getting into the carriage.
The carriage started moving again, and a brief silence fell inside.
Candice glanced at Rhine, who was staring intently at Diana, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Diana always attracts girls, which makes Candice worry that Diana might have issues with her sexual orientation in the future. She thinks that if Diana interacts with boys more often, she won't have any problems!
"Anna, why don't you introduce this handsome young man to us?"
Diana introduced the group to each other.
Rhine stared at Adolf in shock.
"You are Adolf, the dean of Austin College!"
Adolf stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.
Rhine's gaze towards Diana changed at this moment, and he tried to ask her something.
"Diana?"
"What?"
Rhein stood up abruptly.
"You are the legendary Diana!"
