The Princess Shadow Guard | Jenlisa Adaptation

Chapter 3

After the Double Ninth Festival, in addition to pastries, Lisa gradually brought meatballs, steamed buns, and sesame pancakes for Jennie.

During the ten-day break, she went to Hidden Moon Tower for seven days.

Jennie noticed that the young shadow guard suddenly appeared at the window, but she didn't seem annoyed. She just calmly took the things from her hand without saying a word.

Watching Jennie delicately tasting her food with chopsticks, Lisa could only stand at a distance with her hands behind her back, hoping to discern some different expressions from her indifferent face.

After observing her for these few days, Lisa discovered that Jennie likes sweet flavors but dislikes spicy ones. She prefers vegetable dishes compared to meat dishes.

If she encounters a food she likes, she will squint her eyes as if enjoying the moment.

If the food is too spicy, she would stick out a small part of her tongue against her upper lip, and the corners of her eyes would turn red.

When she eats something that doesn't suit her taste, she calmly puts down her chopsticks and silently drinks tea.

At noon, Lisa walked out of the room, thinking about what kind of food she should bring for the princess before leaving the capital for a mission tomorrow.

Her senior martial brother, Elli, walked towards her along the corridor, followed by her senior martial sister, Jisoo.

The two of them brightened up when they saw Lisa, and Elli patted her shoulder and asked, "Lali, are you going out?"

Lisa nodded, but before she could speak, Jisoo shouted, "Lali, you've grown up and don't play with us anymore. During the Double Ninth Festival a few days ago, our Master said we would go to a restaurant together for a meal, and you were late!" Her exaggerated expression seemed as if the sky would collapse in the next moment.

Lisa seemed accustomed to it already and just smiled as she asked, "So, where are senior martial brother and sister going today?"

Elli replied, "I made an appointment with our Master to go to a restaurant for a small drink. As for your senior martial sister..." He paused, his expression showing disgust as if he remembered something unpleasant.

"To the Flower Street, Flower Street! Lali, do you want to come along?"  Jisoo continued loudly, turning her head to ask Lisa.

"Don't even think about corrupting Lisa! What's a young girl like her doing at the Flower Street?" Elli's stomach churned at the thought of the absurd things Jisoo had done in the past.

"What's wrong with the Flower Street? The girls there are fragrant and delicate, and their guqin playing is enchanting." Jisoo's tone was unabashed and unashamed, instead, she looked at Elli with disdain.

"You... old fossils with your conservative thinking. I bet you've been there plenty of times too, haven't you? What? Men are allowed to go to Flower Street to listen to music, but women aren't. Do you understand women's rights?"

"What nonsense are you talking about again?" Elli's head throbbed from Jisoo's peculiar logic. "And what on earth is 'female spring'?"

Having grown accustomed to Elli's nagging and Jisoo's ramblings, Lisa had no desire to get involved in their war of words.

As she hurriedly walked towards the camp gate, Elli turned to give her instructions. "Lali don't stay out too late playing around. Tomorrow morning, you have to set off to meet Jack."

Lisa nodded to indicate that she remembered, while Elli turned back and immersed himself in a heated debate with Jisoo.

Being a shadow guard was extremely risky, with a significant casualty rate.
