Prince Lieyang walked into the narrow bar. First, he scanned the environment inside the shop, and then with an arrogant tone, he commented: “Although the space is as narrow as a rat’s nest, the ambiance is acceptable. It barely won’t tarnish my nobility.”

He glanced at the falsely smiling Elise and added, “If you were my maid, I would crush that fake smile of yours under my foot.”

Elise’s eyebrows twitched, “Red-headed lizard, dare you say that again?”

“Standing before you is the illustrious Prince Lieyang of the noble Mengla Lizard Royal Family of the mighty Galama Empire. If you utter that derogatory term about me again, I assure you, my personal guard will set this tavern ablaze.”

Elise had rolled up her shirt sleeves, revealing her smooth and fair forearms, and her fists were clenched tightly.

“No need to wait until then. I’m going to give you a beating right now, you ugly red-headed lizard.”

Elise’s figure flickered and disappeared from Leon’s sight. When she reappeared, she was just a step away from Prince Lieyang, maintaining a bold punching posture. Her fierce punches were like a hurricane, sweeping across Prince Lieyang’s body, making his armored attire emit a series of metallic collisions.

And her delicate white wrist was firmly held by another plump and fair hand.

“Elise, you must not lay hands on customers.”

Leon didn’t know how Nilu had appeared, but he looked toward the door of the break room—it was tightly closed. He began to doubt if he was still half asleep.

“It was this red-headed lizard who provoked me first.” Elise, with her wrist caught by Nilu, retorted.

“Have you forgotten the rules of the shop? Violence of any kind is strictly prohibited inside the shop. Only if a customer causes trouble can you physically remove them. Otherwise, as staff, you absolutely cannot lay hands on customers.”

“Hmph, I got it.”

Elise unwillingly withdrew her fist. Since Leon arrived, her temper had been worse these past few days.

Nilu finally smiled and addressed the motionless Prince Lieyang at the entrance:

“I apologize, this guest, for startling you. Please feel free to find a seat.”

“Ahem!”

Prince Lieyang seemed to suddenly awaken from a nightmare and walked confidently toward the bar.

“Hey, you clueless bartender, stop staring at me like a lowly frog and pour me a drink.”

Hearing Prince Lieyang berate Leon, Elise suddenly found this red-headed lizard a bit more pleasing to the eye.

Leon struggled to maintain a calm exterior and asked, “May I ask, this… guest, what flavor of alcohol would you prefer?”

“The flavor doesn’t matter, but it must be worthy of my noble status.”

“Heh heh, alright, please wait a moment.”

Leon’s mind was preoccupied, so he directly poured a large glass of beer for the lizard-man in front of him.

“Oh, a nice color.”

Prince Lieyang picked up the glass and admired the golden liquid, then he opened his tooth-filled mouth, a pair of sharp fangs glistening, and poured all the beer into it in one go.

“Refreshing and invigorating, it quenches the soul. I didn’t expect this shabby tavern to have decent drinks. By the way, give the beauty next to me a glass as well.” Prince Lieyang turned his head and showed a lizard-man-style dashing smile to Karina.

Karina, however, was mesmerized by Leon and said, “No need. Except for the drinks he meticulously crafts, I can’t stomach anything else anymore.”

“Huh?” Prince Lieyang turned back his thorny lizard head.

“What drink is she talking about? Get me a glass as well.”

Though Leon was in a state of extreme shock, he couldn’t neglect the customer’s request. He almost instinctively began to make a Long Island Iced Tea.

Prince Lieyang watched the process of Leon making the drink, occasionally sticking out his forked and slender black tongue.

“Not bad, quite interesting…”

After Leon finished preparing the drink, he placed a glass of Long Island Iced Tea on a coaster in front of Prince Lieyang.

“A glass of Long Island Iced Tea, please enjoy.” His tone was like that of an emotionless robot.

“Tea?”

“Although its name is Long Island Iced Tea, it’s actually…” Leon explained once more to Prince Lieyang.

“Good drink!” Prince Lieyang extended his slender tongue and took a sip from the glass. His vertical pupils suddenly widened, and he then poured the entire glass of Long Island Iced Tea into his mouth.

Prince Lieyang let out a burp and placed the glass back on the bar.

“If you didn’t look so foolish, I might have considered taking you with me to specialize in brewing for me.”

Karina was more concerned about something else and asked, “You’ve been acting strange since a while ago. Did that savage woman Elise scare you?”

From a corner came Elise’s voice, “Redhead, don’t think I can’t hear you. And you, this belligerent muscle-bound woman, have no right to call me savage.”

Karina acted as if she hadn’t heard what Elise said and focused her attention on Leon.

Leon finally asked, “Who exactly are you people, and where are you from?”

Karina answered honestly, “My hometown is a small town in the Osroni Empire. But I haven’t been back there for many years. I’ve been wandering the continent and only came to Castalonne a few months ago.”

Prince Lieyang cleared his throat and said, “I am the illustrious Prince Lieyang of the noble Mengla Lizard Royal Family of the mighty Galama Empire. Recently, I’ve been traveling the continent. The day I return will mark the glorious moment when I ascend to the throne of the Galama Empire. I hope to find the other half to share this honor with me on this extraordinary journey—a future Empress of the Galama Empire.”

As he spoke, he glanced at Karina beside him, but unfortunately, Karina remained unmoved, still staring at the seemingly foolish bartender, which annoyed him greatly.

Listening to these unfamiliar place names and enduring the envious gaze from a lizard, Leon felt like he must be going crazy.

Had a new continent been discovered on Earth again?

“May I ask, when you mention ‘continent,’ which one are you referring to?”

Karina wondered, “Of course, the Aios Continent.”

“Ah~ Aios.”

Leon was lost in thought.

At this moment, Nilu came to the bar, seeing Leon who seemed soulless. She gently said, “It seems the boss didn’t tell you what kind of shop this is when he interviewed you.”

Elise also came over with a grin. Seeing the expression on Leon’s face at this moment, it made her quite happy.

“That’s right. If he had been clear from the beginning, he might have been scared off.”

Leon hurriedly asked, “What exactly is going on?”

“As you can see, this shop caters to guests from different worlds. The world you’re in has far superior brewing and mixing techniques compared to the Aios Continent. That’s why the shopkeeper posted recruitment notices there and brought you here. Do you understand now?”
