The day passed, and Rock was on his way to Swan's room to escort her, as promised.

He whistled as he walked through the long corridor of the castle, and bumped into Lady Jade who was walking towards her room

“Ah, good evening, Milady," Rock greeted politely as he knew that Lady Jade's position was higher than his in front of His Majesty.

Jade smiled thinly at the young beta and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to escort Princess Swan to His Majesty's private lake. She wants to surprise him," Rock replied.

"I see. Well, it will take a while before His Majesty returns. Why don't you have tea with

me first?"

"But I-"

“I also want to ask you a few things about her based on your observation," Jade said. “His Majesty orders me

to observe her because it's our first time having a female human in our kingdom."

Rock became tense immediately as he realized that Lady Jade was serious, and that magic word 'His Majesty'

Was enough to make him obey whatever she said.

In the end, he followed Lady Jade into her balcony where she had set up a table for a small tea break, with a ceramic teapot, and two ceramic cups which she imported from the eastern kingdom. There were also human-made sweet bites that Rock personally

disliked.

Jade sat at the table, and pointed at the chair facing hers, "Have a seat.”

Again, Rock obeyed her order. He sat down and watched how Lady Jade poured him tea which had a strange purple color.?
