Four

The girls nodded among each other and got up. "When will there be a banquet?" Xian nu asked. "Sometime this week! The prince will probably come and inform us himself! We will just have to wait on this!" Lian hua said.

The girls quietly explored the realm and bought things to their liking for awhile and keeping a low profile. Of course the prince would suspect them a bit he even told his guards to keep a close eye on them.

"I feel like someone has been watching us" Shui nu said. "Me too." Said Shui jing. "Do you think it could be the one who wants to kill us?" Xian nu asked. "Ahh! Hi..." lian hua said waving at the guard in the black he was a guard for the demon palace you could right away tell by the way he's dressed. lian hua already knew she had been suspected. "Is there a reason you've been following us?"

"The master told me to bring the 4 princesses back personally to the palace because of the banquet that will be held soon! He would like to speak to you all about it so if you are done roaming about and shopping let us go back to the palace." The guard said bowing showing his respect.

"Fine we are done for now Girls let's go." They all nod and went back to the palace riding on their horses. "do you think we are in trouble?" Xian nu asked. "No don't you worry we are just going back to the palace the prince wants to see us about the banquet I'm sure it won't be anything scary don't worry Xian nu." Shui jing and Shui nu look at each other nodding.

When they were finally at the palace. The prince was there to greet them again. "Hello princesses welcome to my palace. So sorry I had to disturb your shopping. We have to have a talk about why you are really here at the demon realm." He said smiling like it was not much to talk about.

They  are now looking at each other thinking about what they should do. "Alright girls now the obvious reason why you're here in the demon realm is because you heard about my birthday banquet happening soon isn't that right? The king must've sent you." They sighed in relief thinking he may know nothing and just went along with what he said. "Yes that's right! However he didn't send us with a gift..for you're birthday so we were picking out one at the shop.." lian hua said lying.

"I see interesting. Don't worry even though I really like presents..The four beautiful princesses are good enough for me on my birthday you're beauty is enough for me." He said smirking at lian hua. Lian hua didn't know what to say really she just looked the other way and muttered "thank you.." under her breath.

Lian hua had never been complimented much by royal status. So she was really flustered and didn't know what to say. Her heart just kept beating for some reason and she tried to avoid how she felt but it was obvious she might have taken a liking to the prince. "No no..I have to stay on task I can't be having these thoughts..." she said in her mind.

The girls looked at her worried wondering why she wasn't saying much. "Well we are very happy anyway to be attending the banquet. There will be lots of good food and even wine and you know we all love a good time isn't that right lian hua?" Shui jing said.

"Yes that's right we all love it.." she said blushing: Shui nu and Xian nu laughed. "Wine sounds nice right about now with some yummy food.." Xian nu said. "Are the princesses hungry?" Shui nu nod "very much I think I'm starving!" The prince laughs "alright! Let's go have a meal my treat!" He said walking out and they followed.
