After her short encounter with Charlotte earlier, Roselyn decided to socialize with the people invited to this party tonight. Roselyn left Lady Silica for a while since she feels pissed about her poor performance in front of Charlotte. She was actually expecting that her friend will contribute to making her sister mad. But just hearing a few threats from Charlotte, her stupid friend quickly retreated with her tail in between her legs. Roselyn is quite popular in their society. Everyone knows that she is the fairy-like daughter of the White family. Roselyn worked hard for the past years to achieve it. She did not let any opportunity to show everyone how brilliant she really is. Roselyn is visiting an orphanage regularly and donates some money to show that she is compassionate and kind towards others, especially children. She is also studying so hard that her name will be known in the academy where she studies. There were also times when Roselyn would show concern for her mother's fri
Everyone inside the hall is now staring at Charlotte and Princess Andrea. They are all surprised to see the elusive princess holding another person aside from her twin brother. These people cannot see it clearly. But the princess is actually trying to bury her face in Charlotte's neck."Ro, I'm scared..." Princess Andrea whispered to her ear in a soft voice."It's alright. I'm here now." Charlotte secretly replied in a quiet voice.Still, she didn't dare to put her hand on Princess Andrea's back and patted her just like usual. Instead, she gives Butler Dennie a knowing look. The female butler is quick to receive her orders and slowly helps the princess to get out of Charlotte's arms."Her Highness, are you alright? Are you still feeling dizzy?" Butler Dennie said as she assists the princess on her side.Princess Andrea looks at Charlotte first before she purses her lips and slowly lets go of her. The princess can understand that Charlotte will be in trouble if she continues clinging t
Count Byron and Charlotte decided to stay at the party since they don't want to be rude to the Crown Prince who invited their family to this party. Since most of the noble families are gathered at this party, the Count takes this chance to introduce his daughter to everyone. No one in this party tries to ridicule or joked about Count Byron's enthusiasm tonight knowing the things he did in the past for his missing daughter. Instead, they helped him by being kind to Charlotte and inviting her to their tea parties.Charlotte easily communicated with these people, especially with the madams and their daughters. Many of them noticed that she has good etiquette and manners. It is only a few months since Lady Charlotte has returned to her family. Because of it, many people made assumptions about themselves.Some are thinking that her parents gave Charlotte a good etiquette teacher and she is an excellent and fast learner. The others are thinking that Charlotte probably spent sleepless nights
When the Countess realized what she had done, Charlotte was already looking at her as if nothing happened. She did not even change the expression on her face too. Countess Rosalyn will think the slap she did is not painful if not for the claw marks that were left on Charlotte's cheek. The Countess gasps in surprise to see that it is also bleeding."C-Charlotte, please let me explain. It is not my intention—""Are we done now?" Charlotte asked. "Can I now go back to my room?""B-But your wounds—""You don't have to be concerned about it." The Countess's hand that is about to hold her daughter has stopped because of those words. She nervously looks at Charlotte who has a cold expression on her face. The vigor she had while interrogating her eldest daughter has completely vanished. It is now replaced with nervousness and worry for Charlotte.The scratch that she did on Charlotte's cheek is probably deeper than expected. It is because Countess Rosalyn can see her blood is slowly dripping
After that night, the atmosphere around the White family is both awkward and suffocating. All of their servants can feel it and no one dares to talk about what happened between them for fear of getting reprimanded or fired. They are all aware that the Count is too sensitive when it comes to his eldest daughter. The one who feels more awkward above all is Countess Rosalyn. It is because she finally learned what happened between her two daughters and the royal twin siblings. It was the Count who told her everything she has to know. Her husband explained that it was Roselyn who caused that incident and Charlotte happened to be nearby and helped her 'favorite child' at that time. Because of it, Countess Rosalyn can't help but feel guilty and horrified at the same time.She feels guilty for putting all the blame on Charlotte without asking for her explanation. Countess Rosalyn was controlled by her anger when she heard that Roselyn went home crying and heard Charlotte's name from her gibb
"Are they still following us?" "No, my lady. Sir Lance had already dealt with them.""Hmm. That's good." Since the people who were following them are no longer around, Charlotte decided to come out of the shop that she entered and continue patrolling the plaza in secret. Earlier, she quickly noticed that a few men were following them in secret. Charlotte thought those were their enemies and they found out about her identity. But after observing their movements, she quickly discovered those men are just ordinary goons that can be found in dark alleys or slums.They are probably attracted to her pouch since it has sapphire stones on its lock. Aside from it, she only has a maid and one knight to accompany her in this huge place. Although they have already tightened their security in the empire to prevent crimes from happening, some people are still hard-headed and try to do their bad habits repeatedly.When Sir Lance returns, he quietly reported that he already dealt with those goons a
“I see. You have a pleasant name, Riva.”“Thank you! Can I also know your name, my lady?”“You can just call me Charlotte.”“Okay! Thank you once again, Lady Charlotte! I hope we can see you again next time!”“Hmm. You should go back to your parents now.”“Oh…”Riva, the young boy, lowers her head a little but he quickly looks up and smiles brightly at her.“Then I will go now.”After Riva bows his head in front of Charlotte, he turns around to go back to his parents. But as he did, Charlotte’s expression changed a little. Her eyes are focused on Riva and the little boy who are still busy collecting money from the people who watched their show earlier. Soon, Charlotte called Annie and ask her to come closer.“What is it, my lady?” Annie quietly asked.“Send someone to monitor their movements and tell them to report immediately if they noticed something wrong.” Charlotte replied without looking back at her maid.“Is there something wrong with them?”Charlotte did not reply to it, but h
By just looking at her appearance, that young lady obviously belongs to a rich noble house. But what about it? If they become successful in kidnapping her without leaving any witnesses, they will still gain a lot. Not to mention, that young lady has a beautiful face and a good body. Those sick old men will surely bid a lot of money just to buy that young lady and put her on their bed. But after seeing how she defeated his friend, the man suddenly has doubts in his chest. Is she really an ordinary lady? What if they messed up on the wrong person this time?"Who are you?!" He asked again. "Is it important for you to know who am I?" Charlotte asked him back. "Do you really want to feel regret touching me once you know my identity and get inside the prison?""Shut up! Just answer my damn question!"He cannot calm himself down. The longer he sees that young lady acting calm and collected, the more he feels uneasy and nervous. He really feels like this young lady is acting too mature for
