Beauty is a Beast

The Boss of the Minions

A woman with long ashes colored hair appeared with a lot of men behind her. She exuded a cold and noble aura. Her arrogance comes from being one of the strongest cultivators and a noble in the center of high society. 

For a moment, her beauty caught Nesrin's attention. 

'This woman is very beautiful. Her eyes glinting like a vicious snake. It looks evil but enchanting.'

"Are you Nesrin?" 

"Yes, is there something you want from me?" Nesrin smilingly put down her teacup and return the woman's calm gaze.

"Nothing. I'm just here to see what my competition looks like."

Competition? What competition? And what are we competing though? 

The grey-headed girl smiled. But that smile was dripping with bitter poison.

'A simple girl like her caught the eyes of Prince Zephyr? He has no taste.'

"It seems like you are the master  of these minions." Nesrin glances at Amelia and the other girls from earlier before chuckling. 

"Well, what can I say? They look like small fry, to begin with." 

Nesrin raised her eyes and look at Narin. At this moment her beautiful laughing eyes are provoking Narin's sanity. 

Now she knew why Zephyr gave her attention. A vixen like her could. 

However, despite her writhing jealousy, Narin let out a smile.

"True. I supposed we will see each other in the "Battle to Survival" in a few days. If you still don't know about that, it is a school event to show off strength. I wish to see you in the Field of Glory."

...

"Princess Narin, a new student like Nesrin cannot enter the Field of Glory to participate in the Battle to Survival." A young man spoke after they left. 

"They cannot prevent it if the Cup of Glory mentions her name. She cannot escape even if she wants to. Her name will already be carved into the Wall of Glory and its spirit will haunt her if she tries to escape. I also want to know how far she could go."

A villainous expression emerged from that beautiful and noble face. They weren't surprised, all of them are already numb to see this traitorous expression. Still, they cannot help but sweat. 

'I should not provoke this evil princess! Getting her wrath is akin to getting a death wish!'

"How many will participate again?"

"A voluntary of a hundred students."

"Then put a hundred of her name in there! I'm going to make sure to let that damn girl fight everyone including me."

…

Back to Nesrin's side after Narin and her lackeys left. A crisp and young voice suddenly landed on their ears. 

"That person is Narin Weighler. She's one of the 'precious geniuses' of the Empire. Well, at least for how fast she ranks up in spirit energy but not right in the brain."

A young boy around 10 years old walked out behind a tree. He wore an old yellow brocade robe that didn't compliment his noble demeanor.

"I see. One look with that girl and I can see she's a bit crazy. However, my madness is stronger than her." Nesrin drank her tea undisturbed but her words crease Sebastian and Mary's forehead.  

Not noticing it, Nesrin took a glimpse at the young boy again and question;

"She's coming at me because that man talked to me?" She asked with certainty.

"Right. Everyone knows that woman is obsessed with the hostage prince Prince Zephyr. It was funny because everyone seems to like that man a lot. I'm not sure what they like about that rogue." The child snigger. 

"You seem to like him though." With a raise eyebrows, Nesrin saw the brightness in his dull eyes upon mentioning that man.

"Was it obvious? Hahaha, he's kind to me so... Anyway, you have to be careful. You're certainly in that woman's death note. Man, women's jealousy is scary." The kid sighed and looked at Nesrin with pity. 

"I'm actually surprised that you didn't fall for his charms."

Mary and Sebastian snickered.

"My lady is more charming than that man." 

"Sebastian is right. Men should flock under my lady's feet. That man is nothing. Just looking at my lady could make my heart flutter." 

Sebastian nods, aggreing. 

'These two, could they stop?' Nesrin shook her head. 

Hearing her servants spoke with such admiration, Karl Earlwood eyed Nesrin. 

She has beautiful golden eyes and a huge presence around her. 

It was like looking at his dad and at that guy Zephyr.

Even if that presence is small though, he could feel it. An aura that made his hair stood on end. Thankfully, it was not suffocating. Meaning to say, this person in front of him was a good person.

However, is she intentionally hiding it in her body? Even though she tried suppressing it, that unique aura is still leaking.

 She was obviously a strong person. Narin and the others won't be a competition at all. Hmm, maybe she could contend against Zephyr or the other older generations. But for how long, Karl didn't know.

The only thing that Karl could feel while looking at her right now is...

How domineering she was just by sitting there.

 Nesrin has the presence of a ruler. More so than the current Emperor. 

Reading from mythical and legend books, Karl wondered what her relationship with the second strongest being of the world?

Is this the reason why Zephyr's attention is drawn to her? Even I too am curious about her. 

"Though I've warned you, you don't seem to care." 

"I can take care of her when the time comes."

Nesrin handed the boy the cake that she thought Karl had been eyeing.

"Here. You can eat it. You'd been looking at it for a long time now." 

What? 

 Karl looked at her in shock.

'I've been looking at you, not the cake!?' 

"U-uh. T-thanks." Nevertheless, Karl took the cake as he was hungry.
