The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 1234 SHOCK!

A moment later Madeline invited Jay and Clift to Jack's room, when they entered the room Jack already wrapped his lousy shirt with a black blazer to make him look somewhat formal and hopefully appropriate enough, Jack even took the time to comb his hair.

"Please come in, I'm sorry our office is a bit messy." If she had known that an important guest was coming, she would have cleaned this office including the unreliable Boss!

Jay and Clift didn't care at the moment their minds were focused on finding Gavin. Seeing that the two guests had arrived, Jack immediately stood up from his chair and walked around his table then extended his hand. "My name is Jack Quaidm may I know your purpose in looking for me?"

Jay shook Jack's hand "How are you doing Mr. Quaid, the truth is we need your help to find Gavin."

"Gavin?" Jack was taken aback for a second "You mean Gavin Austin?" he hadn't been in contact with that person for a long time.

Maddy became impatient because Jack still hadn't invited the guest to sit down thus she subtly reminded Jack "Before we talk further, please have a seat" Maddy raised her hand to invite them to sit down first then gave Jack side eyes.

Jack realized he had been rude, so he immediately invited the two mysterious guests to sit down first. "Would you guys like something to drink?" he asked politely.

"Coffee will be fine" Jay answered.

After that Maddy left the room to make drinks and at the same time give them privacy. 

Once there were only the three of them Jay continued their conversation "Yes, I'm looking for Gavin Austin, I heard from him that he's looking for you if you want to contact him,"

Garrof's arms rest on his knee as his body leans forward as he ponders for a few seconds after that he speaks again "To be honest, I haven't spoken to him for a year or so...may I know what he's getting himself into?" From Jack's tone, it seemed like this wasn't the first time Gavin had been involved in big trouble.

This time it was Clift who spoke "Gavin was supposed to deliver someone important to us but on the way he was attacked so we lost contact but from the last conversation he said you will know how to find him"

Jack's expression darkened, he hated how Gavin gave him a hard time and this wasn't the first time and probably wouldn't be the last either. Even so, Gavin is still one of his closest brothers even though he hates to admit it because of his reckless personality which tends to get him and his team in trouble still he cannot let that troublemaker fall into a dangerous situation.

Jack glanced at the two noble yet mysterious guests in front of him, he didn't know whether these people were friends or foes, what if they were lying, what if they were the ones who hunted Gavin? unfortunately, since they were carrying cards with the Lucient Mark he didn't dare to slight them in any way.

"Before I help you, may I know who you are and what your relationship is with Gavin?"

Jay and Clift exchanged a glance without words they shared tacit understanding. Jay brushed the fringes of his face to show his face clearly, he looked at Jack and said meaningfully "Don't you think I look familiar?"

Jack's brows furrowed as he carefully examined the man before him after that he did feel that the man looked familiar but he didn't know where he had seen him.

"Are you....someone famous? a celebrity or something?" Jack rarely follows gossip news so he has limited knowledge about celebrities and socialites.

Clift stifled a chuckle because of it he had a better impression of Jack. meanwhile, Jay laughs in amusement at Jack's straightforward comment. All of a sudden there was a knock on the door soon after Maddy entered the room holding a tray.

Her smile turned stiff when everyone looked at her. Trying to stay calm Maddy carefully served the coffee cups on the table one by one while placing the cup on the table Maddy unconsciously raised her gaze and then accidentally looked at the handsome blonde man before her suddenly a strange feeling crossed her head, for some reason, Maddy felt that she had seen this man before.

Maddy tried to remember where she saw this man because usually, she would never forget a handsome man so where did she see this man.....? a celebrity? no...that's not it...it was from breaking news...

Suddenly Maddy remembered where she saw the man, Maddy immediately looked at the blonde man once again to confirm her guess and a second later her eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights.

Jack didn't know why Maddy froze like a mannequin, he nudged Maddy's shoulder a few times but he got no response, he then worriedly called her, "Maddy? Hey Maddy...Maddy, are you okay?"

Mady blinked blinking her eyes a few rapid beats, her head then turned at Clift afterward her eyes widened even more until it looked like her eyeballs were about to jump out of their sockets.

Clift smiled warmly knowing that the girl finally recognized him and Jay, unfortunately, Jack thought Maddy was bedazzled by their handsome faces, and Jack rolled his eyes thinking it was happening again.

"Yo Maddy, I think you're being rude to the guest here..." his voice was etched with jealousy.

"Aaaaaahhh....!!" Maddy suddenly screamed while covering her mouth with both hands, then she pointed her trembling finger at Jay "J - J - J - J - J..."

 "There's a lot of J you said there Maddy ~... hey, Maddy you didn't have a stroke, right?"Jack half-jokingly asked.

"Ju -Jus - Justin Tornbery!" Maddy exclaimed.

Jay smiles thinly smile however Maddy's face turns pale, but Jack still doesn't comprehend what happened he looks at Jay with a business - like smile "Oh, you have the same name as King Lucas Archknight"

"Yes" Jay nod.

"Huh?" Jack stares at the man more carefully the man not only has the same name but also the same hair color, the same eyes...the same...FACE! Jack jumps from the couch then rudely points his finger at Jay and screams "You - you are Justin Tornbery!"

Jay doesn't feel offended he just feels awkward even so this is the usual reaction when people know about his identity. Jay rubbed his nose "Yes, That's me and this is my Friend Radcliff Equillan, you might know him too"

Maddy and Jack simultaneously turned their head toward Clift. They both immediately pointed at Clift and shouted "AAAAAAHHHH!"

"Nice to meet you" Clift gives a polite nod.

In the past, Archknights were already famous, but they couldn't be compared after the end of the Dark Age War. Who doesn't know the story about the dashing King Lucas and the four Archknights who were his loyal followers conquering the black dragon Nazareth, they didn't even know that the black dragon which was rumored to be the incarnation of calamity god could be killed until King Lucas and the Archknights heroically strike the beast and successfully slayed the black dragon, even more, King Lucas managed to bring light back to the world.

Since then, the epic story of how King Lucas and his Archknights started their journey to Slay the black dragon, Nazareth has spread widely among people all over the world and since then they have become a living legend in the hearts of not only Harland's people but also all the people in the world. Therefore it is understandable why Maddy and Jack showed an over-the-top reaction.

Jack and Maddy froze with their eyes wide open which was concerning, after a while Jay felt overwhelmed by the awkward silence in the room so he waved his hand in front of Jack and Maddy to get their reaction "Um...are you okay, can we talk now...?" sadly they were unresponsive, Jay let out a helpless sigh and then turned at Clift for help.

"I think we should wait" Clift crossed his legs then took out his cell phone and started scrolling through it casually.
