Chapter 100
Athena understood what Trina was so shocked about. This kind of tavern was truly one of a kind in Pidence City.
Using women’s beauty to attract customers was not different from a brothel.
The Monson family had been a scholarly and prestigious household for generations, known for their strict upbringing of children
Not to mention visiting brothels, even going to a musical performance house was forbidden for the younger generation,
Besides, Eloise was seen as a paragon of virtue among noblewomen in Pidence City.
She was always poised and proper, respectful and filial toward her elders, and praised unanimously by the noble families
No one would think that such an enterprise, so contradictory to her family’s values, would be connected to her
Moreover, Willow was about to marry into the Osborne family. As a young woman awaiting marriage, she absolutely should not be involved in such a thing
If word get out, it would ruin the Osborne family’s reputation
Athena shook her head. This was utter madness.
They were even willing to throw away their dignity for money.
But this matter had nothing to do with her, and she had no reason to war them.
Besides, this kind of business model wouldn’t last long. They were likely setting themselves up for disaster.
Athena returned to the estate with Trina and changed her clothes.
to go to Xander Manor to treat Xander.
Five days had passed. It was time to go to
When she stepped outside, the carnage from Xander Manor was already waiting for her.
She got in and the carriage began heading toward the estate.
Though she had been there a few times already, Athena still felt nervous every time she stepped through those doors.
The entire estate exuded a sense of danger. Even the artificial hills and plants seemed to carry the scent of blood.
Suddenly, the sound of combat reached her ears.
She followed the sound and saw a group of soldiers fiercely sparring on an open field not far off.
Their movements were swift and powerful. Every punch and kick caned a whistle through the air, each strike landing with a thud. It was an awe
inspiring scene.
A circle of onlookers surrounded them, cheering them on, their excitement palpable,
Seeing how intently Athena was watching, Nelson smiled and said, “Although Prince Kander won the war, he’s never lax with his man. Even while it, il be has any energy at all, he’ll come out to guide them personally.”
Athena secretly clicked her tongue. Xander really was intense.
She wondered what kind of woman could ever be worthy of him.
She was still lost in thought when Nelson suddenly stopped.

He asked, “Your Highness, why have you come out
Athena instinctively looked up and saw Kanderstanding under the waves, dressed in a dark robe
The wind blow at his clothes, revealing a trim waist and long, straight legs beneath the flowing fabric
His sleeves and hem danced in the wind like drifting clouds or swaying branches.
His eyes were deep and sharp. Even from several feet away, his cold aura could be clearly felt.
Nelson hurried forward, anxious. “Your Highness, the wind is strong out here. Why have you come outside!“…
He reached out to support the prince, but was waved away
“I’m fine,” Kander replied, his tone cool and unreadable. Yet his sharp gare landed squarely on Athena
After days of recuperation, Athena had put on a bit of weight.
Her cheeks were now rounder, glowing with a healthy flush. Her body was no longer so frail.
Xander frowned slightly and looked away.
“Still too thin, he thought.
Xander’s cool eyes fell upon Nelson, and Nelson shivered. “Yes, right away, Your Highness
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, baffled. “Why did His Highness suddenly want truffle mushroom soup?”
Xander stared at her, noting her wide, innocent eyes full of confusion
When she didn’t move to help him, he finally said, “Help me inside
Only then did Athena snap out of her dans. She quickly stepped forward to support his arm.
The moment her hand touched his arm, she felt solid muscle beneath his sleeve. Her heart skipped a beat. He looked lean, but he was more built tha she expected. She had assumed that his long illness had hollowed him out, but he was still strong and vigorous
He turned slightly toward her. Because of their height difference, he could only see the top of her head.”
Though her hair was thick, it was a little dry and split at the ends. Clearly, she wasn’t eating well at the duke’s estate. Her nutrition must have been
“Your Highness?” Athena called softly, unnerved by his stare. All her hairs stood on end under his gaze.
Xander looked away and calmly sat in a chair.
Athena secretly sighed in relief and stepped back, finally feeling less bense.
Nelson brought the truffle mushroom soup and was about to hand it to Xander, but Xander led a hand and gened to
