"What the hell are you doing?" Hayden gritted his teeth and turned backward. He wanted to teach this rude person a lesson. However, what came next made him speechless. The person behind him was actually a woman, Hayden didn't notice her earlier because he was too focused on the butterfly-looking brooch.

Red hair fluttering in the wind, eyes as red as fire accompanied by a mature and alluring demeanor. The woman's face was so gorgeous that it could set men's hidden desire ablaze. She got an ideal appearance with a proportional round curve, while the casual black clothes that she wore made her look more captivating. This woman could entice many men's hearts, making them crazy and fall directly for her at first sight.

"I what?" smiled the woman seductively while still holding Hayden's hand. Hayden looked at her coldly. He didn't really care about her beauty or whatsoever. He only cared about the brooch because it was a gift for her precious sister.

"I've ordered and made a deal for this brooch first, you can choose another if you want, don't mess around with me," said Hayden coldly while pulling his hand back.

The red-haired women gaped at Hayden's bluntness. It seemed like no one had ever talked like this to her before. But Hayden didn't care, no way in hell would he going to give up that brooch. Especially, not to this lady.

"Hmmph, you aren't fun, prince Hayden of Zenith." The woman pouted while saying this in a loud voice.

After she said that, many merchants, travelers, and people around the area stopped their activities and glanced towards Hayden. Even the middle-aged woman that sold the brooch also looked at him curiously.

"So he is the second prince that remains discreet and never showed up in public, I heard that he was a trash. However, do you know? Yesterday I heard a shocking news. They said that the second prince had killed five men from the eagle faction alone. One of the men was also already a 4-star origin warrior, which is stronger than him. I wonder if the rumors that he is trash are true," said one of the people that were in the surrounding area. Many other people also started to whisper with their group, trying to express their own opinion.

Hayden didn't care less about what they thought. He was just a bit shocked because the news has spread around so quickly. Hayden guessed that someone had spread it, he glanced at the red-haired woman and asked. "Who are you? Speak, how do you know me?"

"Hehe, of course I know you. By the way, I still want the brooch," smiled the woman.

Hayden was annoyed when he noticed that this woman wasn't willing to give up. He gritted his teeth and sighed. "Look, I truly want to give this to my precious sister. I want this brooch no matter what."

The red-haired woman noticed that this was Hayden's limit. She didn't want to make him mad. Therefore she stopped and tried not to push things further.

"Prince, How about this. I will let you have the brooch. However, you must escort me around for a day." Smiled the woman while grabbing Hayden's arm.

Hayden went dumbstruck. "This woman... Isn't this what you usually call a date?" Hayden couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't because he couldn't afford to lose the brooch. Hence, he got no other choice but to accept it.

In his previous life, Hayden never got a chance to go for a date with a woman, not to mention a woman of this caliber. Therefore, he felt a bit awkward, not knowing what to do.

"Alright, let me pay for the brooch first." Hayden quickly gave the middle-aged woman the crystals. After he received the brooch and thanked her, Hayden glanced towards Nevarth, who are waiting quietly beside them.

"Uncle, it looks like I need to complete this miss request first," explained Hayden while scratching his head.

"Go, escort her properly," Nevarth said while turning back. He couldn't help but laugh while thinking that it was nice to be a youngster.

Hayden watched Nevarth going away. Afterward, he glanced back towards the red-haired woman.

"Say, I still don't know your name. Can you tell me?" Asked Hayden as he stared at her fiery red eyes.

The woman couldn't help but feel startled by Hayden's deep gaze. She let loose her hand from his arm and walked in front, not long after she turned back and blinked towards Hayden.

"Nice to meet you prince, my name is Anastasya."

Hayden stared at her silently while thinking that she was so beautiful and alluring. He watched her hair that looked like flame itself fluttering in the wind, especially that attractive pose and gesture...

This scene was deeply engraved in his mind. The annoying feeling that he felt earlier towards Anastasya was slowly being replaced by a spark of something, which Hayden has never felt before.
