Upon entering the Saint-Lia Hotel, a waiter dressed in a rather gentlemanly manner approached.
"Miss, would you like to dine in the lobby on the first floor or in a private room on the second floor?"
Hua Rong took out a bag of gold and handed it to him: "Find a private room on the second floor with a view of the hall."
The waiter secretly weighed the gold coins in the bag, his smile becoming even more genuine: "Okay, room 211 on the second floor!"
The 211 VIP room was decorated quite luxuriously. When Hua Rong entered, he not only felt the cooling effect of ice, but also felt the wind blowing in his face. It can be said that the facilities were quite good.
A short while later, the waiter who had greeted her earlier pushed in a food cart.
There are over thirty dishes, including desserts, fruits, hot platters, and cold platters.
"Excuse me, do you have any other appointments, miss?"
"No, you can go now." Hua Rong generously handed him another bag of gold.
The waiter left with a smile, but was stopped at the stairwell.
Before long, someone arrived uninvited in Hua Rong's private room.
"Miss Lori."
Hua Rong looked up and saw a handsome man in a white military uniform, holding a matching hat.
His green eyes, like emeralds, shone brightly under the light.
Long legs and arms, a straight nose, a noble air, and especially the voice when he speaks—he's handsome in every way!
He's practically walking hormones.
And now, this hormone-fueled man entered her private room without knocking, and ended up sitting right across from her.
That's incredibly impolite.
Hua Rong was somewhat unhappy.
"I think His Highness should have been taught the importance of manners."
Prince George, who had just finished inspecting St. Lean's and was preparing to have a nice meal at the hotel, fell silent.
He didn't expect it to start like this; this doesn't make sense!
Does the woman opposite him not like men? Or does she dislike a man as handsome as him, a man even the goddess of light would fall in love with?
George stood up, placed his general's hat on his chest, and apologized very politely: "It was my fault. I was very happy to hear Miss Lori's name, after all..."
George's gaze fell on the half of Hua Rong's face that was only visible, and it was very intense: "After all, Miss Lori and I haven't seen each other for many years. When old friends meet again, we are much more eager."
Upon hearing this, Hua Rong paused. Had the original owner ever met Prince George?
I don't think I've ever seen that before!
However, she felt a sense of relief at this moment. She thought to herself, "Why did Earl Shell, who hadn't been able to find me before, suddenly come looking for me now? It's so easy. Sure enough, someone knows the original owner of this body."
Hua Rong tried her best to search through the original owner's memories, but couldn't find a single memory of George.
The original owner's life was quite mundane. When even basic needs like food and clothing were a problem, everything else had long been relegated to the sidelines.
She shouldn't have had any dealings with Saint Lia's people.
"I'm sorry, I've been so busy with life these past few years that I haven't thought about getting to know His Highness George. I wonder if His Highness George could tell me when we first met?"
Although George had already guessed that Lori didn't remember him, he was still a little sad when he heard it.
He sighed, his emerald-like eyes glistening with tears, as if he were deeply saddened.
"Lori, have you really forgotten? I remember you were already eight years old back then! We met at the church in Roton! You cried because you didn't get any attributes, and I even comforted you. Look, what's this?"
As if by magic, a bright red apple appeared in George's hand, and George looked at Hua Rong with hopeful eyes.
Hua Rong: "..." Is this prince an idiot? This is an apple, who doesn't recognize it!
"Uh, an apple?"
The light in George's eyes dimmed slightly.
Hua Rong tried to salvage the situation: "The Big Apple?"
George's eyes were lifeless; he looked very disappointed.
"Uh, a red apple?"
George gave up: "Okay, you forgot, this apple was from George!"
Hua Rong: "..."
Holy crap! What the hell is that?
Hua Rong indeed could not find any trace of etiquette towards George in the original owner's memories.
However, we can roughly piece together from George's words when he and the original owner met.
Every child in every empire on the continent of Orl is taken to the church in the local city when they are eight years old, where they have the opportunity to touch an energy ball to explore whether they have any elemental powers within their bodies.
When the original owner was eight years old, she was taken by her birth mother to the church in Roton with great anticipation.
Unfortunately, she did not possess any energy attributes.
At that time, she and her birth mother were both very disappointed.
After all, if they had energy attributes, their lives would be much easier.
Hua Rong thought that perhaps at that time, Lori's birth mother was still thinking that if Lori were not an ordinary person, she would definitely send Lori back to the Earl's mansion and let her get what she deserved as an earl's daughter.
Unfortunately, Lori doesn't have any energy attributes in her body.
The original owner of this body couldn't have thought that far ahead at the time; she just felt that she had disappointed her mother.
"Back then, you didn't test any elemental power, so you rushed out of the church, went to the forest next to the church to cry, and got lost. That's when you met me."
In George's account, he is the prince who rescued the lost princess.
Even when the princess was hungry, the prince took out the only red apple he had and shared it with Lori.
"That apple is called George's Apple."
George was a little unhappy. "Lori, you're going too far. I haven't forgotten you, so why have you forgotten me?"
"Okay, my mistake."
Hua Rong is now having a bit of a headache. It turns out that all her previous speculations about Cooper were just overthinking things.
The person behind him had no intention of winning her over; he just wanted to catch up with her.
Hua Rong looked at the seemingly mentally challenged Prince George in front of her and compared him to the brave Prince George that the people were talking about, who could slay the evil dragon.
Uh, there's absolutely no similarity between them!
George looked somewhat embarrassed upon hearing Hua Rong's apology.
His eyes gleamed, and he began to eat the food on the table.
George actually lied.
When he was ten years old, he was naughty and, after leaving the palace, escaped the knights and hid in a caravan heading to Roton.
They were discovered halfway through and were almost sold off by those merchants.
After finally escaping, he met the kind-hearted Lori.
He told Lori his true identity, and Lori believed him.
She even took him to church.
That apple wasn't George's apple either.
Lori saw that he was too hungry, so she took out an apple for George's lunch and gave it to him.
It wasn't shared; George ate the entire apple by himself.
He was so hungry.
Perhaps the only thing he didn't lie about was that he and Lori actually met on the day Lori went to have her attributes tested.
He watched with his own eyes as that kind girl shed tears after the attribute test was completed.
And so, I've kept this in mind for so many years.
