“Mom, it seems like it is. doesn't she really love me?” Agatha cheered happily. “Oh!” she even covered her mouth unable to utter any more words for a few moments. "Mom, will I be the crown princess soon?"
"Oh honey, I'm so proud of you my Lady." Mrs. Samuel did not forget to give a bowing gesture as if respecting Agatha.
"What are you guys waiting for? Quickly find the best dress. You have to look awesome tonight to be the prettiest. You must show that you are worthy of Prince Luke's company. Don't forget that you will also meet the Queen, your mother-in-law." Mr. Samuel smiled happily at his daughter. “Oh, finally all our debts can end easily. Luke would have no problem paying off all of Philip's family debts. According to Samuel, Luke had been living in his house for four years. He has the right to ask for compassionate fees.

One by one the invited guests began to enter one of the grandest halls of the Puissance palace. Invitations are very limited. Not everyone can attend it. Only selected people from among the nobility or wealthy conglomerates. Several others were special invitations from Prince Luke.
This is the first time the Crown Prince has appeared in public in dozens of years. No wonder the party is getting livelier and more magnificent. Throughout his life, the prince had never participated in royal events, naturally not much was known about him. Many rumors are circulating about him who tonight will get an answer after many questions in everyone's head.
Agatha and her parents smiled happily. She was wearing her best dress with a low slit on the back that showed how beautiful the woman's body was. don't forget her hair which is deliberately bun to show her beautiful long neck. A diamond necklace is also coiled around her neck. Not too expensive but very luxurious when worn by a woman as beautiful as Agatha. Out of all the invitees present tonight, Philip's family were the only ones who already knew the crown prince's identity.
"Agatha, I didn't expect to see you again." Olivia accidentally bumped into her as she was about to enter the hall.
Agatha lifted her face very arrogantly. Tonight she was a lot more confident than the Pouvwa Tech corporate party a few days ago. She was confident that she would silence the mouths of many who insulted her. It's time for her four-year revenge to happen. She couldn't wait to see Olivia's pale face tonight.
“I know that I always manage to surprise people. Oliv, you must be so envious of me.” Agatha smiled contemptuously at Olivia as usual. Olivia replied with the same expression.
“I was worried about you, Agatha. As someone who has known you since childhood.” Olivia didn't forget to put on a mocking face. Her words are always inversely proportional to the expression.
The difference was that Agatha wasn't intimidated at all today. “Yeah, that's why I know for a fact that you could never beat me this long. You must know that I am always overflowing with good luck. I ranked first in class and I was once the most beautiful and popular in school. I still remember the time when you tried so hard to be my friend so you could also get some attention.”
Olivia laughed as a form of defense against her pride. "After you married that good-for-nothing man, everyone knew that you weren't that perfect, Agatha."
Agatha sighed sadly worrying about Olivia with a very exaggerated expression. “Olivia, as your friend, I have a suggestion that you should be careful with the words you use. I'm afraid you'll get in trouble with that.”
Olivia snorted ignoring Agatha's words not caring. "Why did you come here tonight? Did you tempt Victor again to accompany him?”
Agatha chuckled. “Do you think you are not worthy of an invitation from the palace?” Agatha took out her invitation. Then she gave the invitation to the bodyguard standing at the door. Olivia didn't hold back nor dropped her jaw. She was very surprised to see Agatha get a special invitation from the crown prince. Much classier than the usual palace invitations that Olivia had.
“As a naratetama guest, you deserve the best table, miss. Let me deliver." There were even staff who bowed very politely to welcome Agatha.
“Can I bring my friend to that table?” Don't forget to ask Agatha a question.
"Of course. as a special invitation we will treat you in the best way possible. How many extra seats do you need miss?”
Agatha was even more arrogant when she heard that her request was welcomed by the staff. She was increasingly convinced that Luke had forgiven her. “Only one person for Olivia.” Not forgetting to point at Olivia who was nearby.
The staff saw Olivia's invitation then replaced it with a special card to identify the invitation from the crown prince. "Okay! I'll have it ready soon. Is there anything else you need miss?”
Agatha shook her head. “No.”
The staff nodded his head. He did his job as best he could. Some special chairs and tables that are very close to the queen and crown prince. "You can call me again when you need something miss."
Agatha nodded her head. not forgetting to wave her hand arrogantly while Olivia was still pensive. She still couldn't utter a single word to express her surprise. “Agatha, how did you get this special invitation? Even I who is one of the nobles doesn't get it.” Olivia couldn't keep her mouth from asking.
Agatha chuckled. "There isn't any. It's just that luck has always been on my side.” Olivia glanced at Victor who was also attending tonight's party. But that boy was a bit far from the Queen and crown prince. Agatha couldn't have gone with Victor like that. Victor was also surprised to see the sitting position of Agatha and Olivia. Olivia could only shrug her shoulders to explain the current situation to Victor.
“Ladies and gentlemen, the Queen and Crown Prince enter the room.” The announcement was made immediately after all the invitees were present in the hall. Everyone immediately stood up to welcome the leader in the city. The Queen first entered the room with a graceful face despite her middle age. A figure that has long been recognized by his people as a wise figure and a friendly leader without reducing some firmness.
Behind her, the long awaited Crown Prince appeared in his proud robes. Only one and specially printed made of the finest clothing materials. His appearance was very dashing and mighty.
Bugh! Olivia almost fainted after seeing the figure of Prince Luke.
"Are you all right, lady Olivia?" Luke asked Olivia while holding out his hand in a manly manner.
Olivia choked. Luke remembers it all too well. The woman's face was very pale at this time. She remembered all the rough things she had done to Luke. Like a cinema playing fast in her head. Olivia immediately cursed her bad luck inside.
“Lady Olivia, are you all right?” Luke repeated his question once again. Instantly cynical glances flowed at Olivia because she managed to make the crown prince repeat his question. Meanwhile, Agatha smiled with satisfaction triumphantly. That expression was what she had expected. That's what she wanted. Her efforts to bring Olivia beside hers ended in nothing. The woman could see clearly who the useless man she had been humiliating for so long.
"Yeah, I'm fine, your highness. Sorry for the fuss I made.” Olivia took Luke's hand with an embarrassed face. Afterwards everyone sat down at their respective tables when the queen and crown prince agreed. They had a leisurely dinner discussing light matters.After dinner, they continued light activities in the hall. Some people were dancing, some other people were chatting with the crown prince. But of course not everyone has access to it."Olivia, how did that useless guy become the crown prince?" Victor drew closer towards Olivia in the middle of the event. Victor is very careful when he mentions that men are not good for Luke. He made sure that Luke had not noticed his movements with Olivia."I don't know. If you're so shocked, how much less am I, Victor?” Olivia chuckled lightly as she rolled her eyes.“But you are a noble Olivia. At least you still have some connection with the kingdom.”Olivia rolled her eyes. "Even so, I still don't know. It seems they planned it well to make
Agatha and her family came home with very embarrassed faces. She threw her face on the sofa. "Oh, I'm so embarrassed." Mrs. Samuel provided her comments."You're not the only one who feels it, mom. Me too." Agatha rolled her eyes. She didn't want to fight with her mother but that woman who was half a century old, often made her angry.“Oh, what should we do now? We are heavily in debt and have lost a wealthy son-in-law. Samuel, I don't want to be poor.” Mrs. Samuel said firmly to her husband. "You should know that I've never lived in poverty before."Samuel closed his eyes. "I know. Be patient! I'll find a way. You don't have to rush me like that. in a situation like this, we should jointly seek all solutions to the problems we face.”"I still have a plan although I don't know whether it will work or not." Agatha also joined in. As a child, she didn't want anything to happen to her parents' relationship. Agatha wants the family to be as harmonious as before. She had often heard her mo
“Why are you in the palace, Eloise? Are you trying to stalk me? Do I want me to repay your kindness?”Eloise shook her head fearfully as before. “I was accidentally in the palace, your highness. I didn't know that you were the crown prince then. I was sold by my father in this palace?”"Can you prove what you say?"Eloise nodded her head. "I can even tell you who the man who sold me is."Luke smiled his smile. “You dare lie to me and now you are trying to trick me.”"I will try to prove it to you."Luke narrowed his eyes. “Why do you want to report it to me, Eloise? Do you expect me to set you free?”Eloise shook her head. “Being in this palace is better than being at home. At least I don't get scolded by my family." Eloise glanced at Luke and then looked down again. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult your ex-wife and in-laws. I'm just telling the truth."Despite living in the palace, Eloise still knows developments. Even the rumors about Luke spread widely as soon as he entered the
"shut up!" Luke was really angry at the end. "Stop all your nonsense and get out of my room, Agatha!""No!" Agatha shook her head. "I want to be given a second chance by you. I am willing to do anything so that you can forgive me, your majesty.” Agatha begged. Luke snorted sarcastically for the umpteenth time.“Agatha, I know you don't love me. You only like my treasure. Even so, I still understand the reason for all your actions. Right now I can only regret it because I don't have any feelings for you anymore. You're the one who wanted our divorce. You also shut down all opportunities for the things I want to explain to you.” Luke then called the bodyguard to enter his room. “Drag this woman out of the palace and never let her make a scene again.”Agatha could not accept it but Luke's decision was unanimous. The woman was kicked out of the palace just like what Samuel had done to Luke before.“Luke, you will regret what you said!” threatened Agatha still trying to scream for the last
“The Crown Prince's divorce from his wife, Agatha, brought bad news. Allegedly, the crown prince deliberately divorced his wife after returning to the palace. Prince Luke is rumored to be an irresponsible husband. He deliberately did not provide a living for his wife during their marriage choosing to be a useless man. Even after returning to the palace, Prince Luke did not give his wife anything as compensation for their divorce. Prince Luke's sudden appearance when he had been in the Puissance area was doubted by the people. They think Prince Luke is a fake crown prince who deceives the kingdom. Other rumors said Prince Luke was having an affair which made his divorce from his wife a major factor. The various bad rumors that hit the crown prince generated negative sentiment by the people. The kingdom's social media is filled with many blasphemous comments towards prince Luke."“What nonsense is going on? Quickly confirm and delete the circulating news immediately.” John was furious w
“Drag the Crown Prince from his throne!”"An irresponsible prince cannot be entrusted with being a king.""We need proof on him!"The speeches of the people who demonstrated every day at the palace only increased. On social media, more and more bad video evidence is circulating about Luke. Even now a new video is added where Luke makes a scene at Victor's event some time ago. the rumor of being an angry and violent man immediately stuck with him without the people knowing what was really going on.Luke was depressed with that condition. he left his office towards the palace garden. Luke felt someone following him. Immediately with his agile attitude Luke pointed his sword at the person. Luke was very surprised when he found out the person was Eloise.“Your highness, I'm sorry. I don't mean to be mean to you. I just want to know where you go on a night like this. I was afraid you did something bad." Eloise knelt begging for forgiveness.Since working in the palace, Eloise understood ve
“I'm not greedy. I just want to take a chance. Look honey! One of our lawsuits about him not being responsible with me. I want him to give me a percentage of his wealth as a form of loss. I will be rich.” Agatha cheered at the thought. "I'll share it with you too."he laughed. "I'm glad you're still thinking about sharing it with me."Agatha nodded her head. “Of course I have to share everything with you. You've helped me enormously. You even gave a big project to my father's company. I'm sure we'll pay off the debt soon.”Victor rubbed Agatha's lips. “Darling, I will give your father a great project as long as he can be counted on. He could even become the main distributor of my company.”"Is it true?" Agatha's face looks even happier."Of course honey. But today let's forget about business. Let's see how that good-for-nothing guy gets dragged from his palace in a moment."Agatha chuckled lightly with a look that pretended to be sad. “Oh, I feel so sorry for him. Forever he will end
Drrrt … Drrrt … the vibrating cell phone made Agatha groan lazily. She was still sleeping in Victor's arms but her cell phone kept ringing. This woke Agatha up. She grunts raised the call to her ear.“Hello, mom! Can't you let me sleep another two hours? Why do you always bother me." Agatha grumbled.“Now is not the time for you to fall asleep, Agatha! You better turn on the television so you can see what's going on out there!”Agatha groaned lazily. A grunt still lingered on her lips but he still did what her mother told her to do. Half hearted of course. Agatha looked for the remote and immediately turned on the television. Victor, who felt movement next to her, also woke up.“Prince Luke or the crown prince just had their second press conference. On this occasion, the Prince confirmed all the bad contents about him with some evidence. Including his identity as the real crown prince. He also admitted his guilt towards his ex-wife and manly apologized in front of everyone." Agatha ro
