Chapter 520 - Cake

Zaki, Hinari, and little Shin were heading to the living room while holding plates of cakes. Hinari was so excited to let the others taste her masterpiece – according to her – so she dragged Zaki and Little Shin as her co-waiters.

Of course, little Shin and Zaki had already tasted the cake. Little Shin was already aware of his aunt’s terrible cooking skill so he cleverly avoided the torture by eating his fruit salad while watching her bake. After just one scoop, the little guy told his aunt that he was sorry because he was already full.

Zaki, on the other hand, didn’t even try avoiding the disaster, instead, he fully embraced it. He ate the slice of cake as Hinari watched him with her bright, expectant face, and the guy, as a good husband, ate it like it was the most delicious cake he had ever tasted. Well, seeing his wife’s face shining like that distracted Zaki from the terrible taste. In fact, the cake wasn’t that terrible in his opinion.

Zaki was planning to have Kaide and the others eat the cakes, however, when they reached the living room, Hinari spotted the three guests at the longue.

Hinari immediately walked towards them and it was too late for Zaki to stop her. Zaki could only dash towards the guys ahead of her. This wouldn’t be a problem for Juu and Kyuu but Yu Chen, that little devil, was there! Zaki could already imagine his darkened face once he tasted the cake!

Before Hinari could greet them, Zaki spoke first.

"Hinari, let me introduce them to you." Zaki started as he stood between her and the three guests. "This is Yu Chen, ah, he’s the one who caught your bouquet at our wedding."

"Whoah! Really? Wait... Yu Chen? You mean..."

"Yes, he’s the Yu Chen of Yu Empire."

Hinari’s lips parted in surprise. So this was the infamous Yu Chen, the devil prince who was rumored to be allergic to women.

"And these two are his bodyguards. This is Kyuu and this is Juu. They are like my younger brothers." He continued and Hinari’s eyes were drawn towards the two so-called bodyguards.

As she stared at them, Hinari immediately realizes their resemblance to Zaki. These Juu and Kyuu were as pale as Zaki and they have that same too good to be true kind of beauty. They didn’t look alike but both have that same kind of perfect features that Zaki had and just by looking at them, Hinari could already tell that they were the same as Zaki. Hinari never brought out the topic about Zaki’s childhood so the couple never talked about it. Because of that, the only thing Hinari knew until now was the story that Sei had told her before. Sei did mention that there were other children with Zaki in that lab so Hinari could already tell that these two were definitely one of those children back then.

"Guys, this is my wife, Hinari." Zaki smiled at the three men, signaling them to greet her back as he glared at them.

Gladly, the damn devil finally moved. Yu Chen slightly bowed at Hinari before Juu and Kyuu followed suit, almost as if they were just following their master’s movement.

Zaki squinted his eyes as he moved and patted Kyuu and Juu’s shoulders.

"She’s my beloved wife. You treat her as your sister from now on." He told them and the two just blinked.

"Nice to meet you," Kyuu finally opened his mouth, making Zaki happy.

"I am very pleased to meet you too, Juu, Kyuu, and Mr. Yu." Hinari smiled at them. "Ah, we have cakes for you. Please enjoy it." She beamed brightly at them as she gave each of them a slice of the chocolate cake.

However, all of a sudden, Zaki grabbed Yu Chen’s plate from his hand.

When Hinari looked at him with wide eyes, Zaki leaned in on her and whispered. "Yu Chen is allergic to cakes." He said and Hinari’s lips formed an ’O’.

Yu Chen is really peculiar. He was not only rumored to be allergic to women but was also actually allergic to cake?

"We must get him something else to eat then."

"I’ll go get him something. You and little Shin take the rest for the guys outside."

Gladly, Zaki managed to send his wife away.

Once his wife was gone, Zaki’s gaze fell towards Yu Chen and invisible sweat drops fell from his forehead.

"Sigh... don’t look at me like that. You didn’t even greet my wife... what kind of younger brother are you?" Zaki scolded him. "No cake for you," he added, although the real reason why Zaki took the cake from him was that he didn’t want Yu Chen to taste it because he was certain that this devil wouldn’t even hesitate to curse the food because of its taste.

"You... Gu Wei, right?" Zaki called the guy who was busy watching something on his phone while hiding in the corner.

The guy immediately stood like a soldier.

"Come here." Zaki gestured him to come and then, he gave him the plate that was meant for Yu Chen.

Zaki didn’t want Hinari to see that they didn’t even start eating yet once she returned so he urged the three guys to start eating.

Gu Wei was very excited. He couldn’t explain but he felt extra happy because Zaki chose to give the food to him instead of his boss!

However, the next moment, the excited look in the man’s face abruptly faded.

"Taste great, right?" Zaki smiled at him and Gu Wei could only nod as he began to cry without tears. "Make sure to eat everything, okay?" he even added and Gu Wei felt like he was going to die. He should’ve known. This Zaki, the legendary knight was such a devil as well!

As Gu Wei started to imagine horns and tail appearing in Zaki’s body, Juu and Kyuu just quietly ate the cake with an indescribable look in their faces. They all thought that S-rank missions were easier than eating this cake.
