Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave

Sean and Nory were not as surprised as Wurth.

Upon seeing Zen, this dainty, pretty girl complained that he did not visit her! Zen must have a lot of charm to bewitch her like this.

'When exactly did Zen meet Nina?' they wondered. 'Did they meet at the trial for slaying demons?'

"Hey, Zen, won't you give us an introduction? Is this your girlfriend?" Sean, who was older than Zen, teased him.

Nory was more flippant and straightforward. He straightened and gave Nina a solemn salute. "How are you, Zen's girlfriend?"

"Don't say nonsense!" Nina rebuked him, but her face broke into a flush. She didn't really seem to mind how Zen's friends addressed her.

Zen's friends were quite perceptive, so how could they not make out what that blush meant? Generally speaking, it was a universal sign indicating that a girl harbored a crush on a guy.

"Okay, fine! I won't talk nonsense anymore. I will reserve calling you that for the future!" Nory responded, casting Yates a short, casual look. Nory was naive but not ignorant. Yates had been particularly attentive to Nina ever since she walked in. As per what Nory observed, Yates obviously held some kind of affection for her. The more he teased Nina about Zen, the more dispirited and indignant Yates got.

"Humph!" Nina gave a snort and wrinkled her nose in chagrin. She turned to her friends, calling them from a distance. "Girls... Come here. I want to introduce you to someone. This is Zen Luo!"

Hearing this, a few girls came up to her, huddling and checking out Zen from head to toe with their wide, pretty eyes. They immediately launched into a stream of comments.
