"Sure... We will meet again later... then we can talk. It was nice meeting you, Princess" Prince Lan said as he turned back and walked back towards his own camp.

"That a**hole... does he really think he is so charming??" Prince Estelin snorted as he looked away from Prince Lan.

Soon, the food was ready and everyone began eating. As General Yao was eating with Prince Estelin and Princess Maia, he looked towards the exit of his tent with a worried look on his face.

"Is Princess Zhiqing so busy that she can't even come to eat? Is she planning on starving?" General Yao let out with a serious look on his face.

"Is she okay? We haven't seen aunt Zhiqing in a long time... Are you sure it's safe leaving her with that stranger? " Prince Estelin let out with a frown on his face.

"She will be fine. I don't think that he will do anything bad to aunt." Princess Maia let out in between as she finished eating.

"What are you saying? Have you been charmed by him as well?" Prince Estelin let out with a slight frown on his face.

"Why does it feel like you're jealous of him? Did you want the strength he has?"  Princess Maia chuckled as her red hair fluttered.

"Hmph... there's nothing to be jealous about! One day I'll be just as strong as him." Prince Estelin let out as he looked away.

"When? You are already older than him!" Princess Maia laughed again as she gazed at Prince Estelin.

"We're not talking about me here! We were talking about Aunt Zhiqing!" Prince Estelin retorted as he brought the topic back to what it initially was.

"Maria! " General Yao called out in a loud voice.

"Yes, master," A maid in a long ponytail came running as she bowed in front of General Yao.

"Take the food and give it to Princess Zhiqing and the other guests in her carriage" General Yao said as he sighed. 

The maid bowed again as she turned back and left.

The maid called Maria prepared the plates with food and carried them with the help of other maids towards the carriage of Princess Zhiqing.

Zhiqing was looking outside with a hungry look on her face as she stared at the guards eating their dinner in the camp. Her stomach constantly grumbled as she looked at the food.

"You can't live without food, can you?" Mingyu let out with a light smile.

"Is there anyone in this world who can live without food?" Zhiqing replied to her without turning back.

"There are many.." Mingyu muttered softly.

"Hmm?" Zhiqing exclaimed as she saw several maids coming towards her carriage.

As the girls got close to the carriage, Zhiqing opened the door.

"Master asked us to bring food to the Princess," The head maid said as she held a plate and advanced towards Zhiqing.

Zhiqing shook her head rapidly as she tried to make them stop, but the maid didn't notice it.

"I don't need food!!!" Zhiqing let out loudly but her voice only sounded inside the carriage and not outside as the maid extended the plate towards her.
