When Charlotte returns to their mansion, Butler Mel informed her that the Countess visited a friend while Lady Roselyn is inside her room. The butler also informed her that the Count will be soon finished with his business trip and will arrive tomorrow morning. After reporting these things, Charlotte tells the butler that he can go back to his post as she returns to her room and take a rest. There's a sudden change in her schedule since Charlotte returns to their mansion earlier than expected. Before she leaves the palace, Charlotte finished everything including the reports that her Vice General has to finish. It is her way to compensate him for cutting his day off short. The female General Commander also informed Prince Marius that she will continue investigating the appearance of the demonic creatures as well as the kidnapping incident that happened in the plaza the other day. Charlotte believes those two incidents are connected. When Charlotte returns to her room, she notices the
"General Castella wants to see me?" Charlotte asked. "Now I am curious why."Annie did not say anything. She is aware that Charlotte is avoiding the newly appointed General Commander of the Solaris Knight especially when she is in disguise as Rovira Valentine. Although there are times when she asks for her reason, Annie still knows when to open her mouth. Aside from it, she doesn't want to irritate her lady.Soon, the butler himself visits her room to inform Charlotte for the second time that General Commander Castella is now in their mansion to see her. When Charlotte didn't say anything, Butler Mel thought she is just nervous. To his knowledge, this is the first time she will be receiving a guest. Usually, it was Lady Roselyn who always have guests visiting her in this mansion."Lady Roselyn is now in the receiving room to accompany the Young General. You do not have to be nervous, Lady Charlotte." Butler Mel said in a kind voice. When Roselyn heard that General Commander Castella
When General Aster leaves the mansion, he enters his carriage with a frown on his face. Lady Roselyn tries to stop him saying Lady Charlotte was rude to him because she hasn't learned the proper etiquette but he did not listen to her. For Aster, he feels like his ears will bleed because of Roselyn's high-pitched voice. But to avoid making any rude remarks, Aster simply shut his mouth close and quietly leaves the mansion.As expected, Lady Charlotte refused to talk with him. But although he already expected it to happen, that doesn't mean Aster will not get upset about it. Her rudeness only shows how she hates the idea of seeing her today. Still, the General Commander cannot blame her for it because he is the one who visited their mansion without any prior notice. After he closed the carriage door, Aster let out a sigh before leaning his back on the leather seat inside. He also loosens the buttons of his coat to let the air to let himself breathe properly. After that, he turns his hea
Charlotte really wants to snap her rational thinking and wreak havoc. She really has the desire to throw everyone in this mansion and forget her initial plans. Maybe she can start a rebellion and simply put Prince Marius on the throne so everything will now be finished. If only she did not care about the Crown Prince's reputation in the future, Charlotte will not be in this kind of dilemma. Today, Charlotte's mood is starting to plummet. Again.It is because she has another guest to entertain. Fortunately, that person is not Aster Castella. Maybe he realized the negative effect of his hasty decision to visit her the other day that's why the General Commander refused to visit and see her again in person. Still, he is occasionally sending her a letter inviting her for tea time in their mansion.Because of those letters, Roselyn's anger toward her becomes intense. She's thinking that Charlotte seduced the General Commander and she's now boasting it in front of her. When Charlotte heard
Charlotte has no desire to talk with this Young Marquis. She knows her mother is just trying to give them an opportunity to meet each other. But she doesn't like it. For her, this is just a waste of time.The only one who is probably enjoying it is Young Marquis Anton. While they are drinking their tea in silence, he is quietly looking at the young lady sitting in front of him. In just a few years of not seeing her, the cute little girl who used to follow him around has become a beautiful young lady. Anton also heard about the unfortunate thing that happened to her. At that time, he was in their province to visit his grandparents. While Anton was enjoying his vacation, who would have thought Charlotte would disappear just like that? When Count Byron visited their mansion to speak with his father about business, he told Anton the things that Charlotte had encountered in the past. According to him, Charlotte was adopted by an old couple who treated her like their own child. When they
"We're now friends.""Enough of it." Charlotte said. "Stop repeating that we are friends. There is no need for you to say it every time I ask you a question." "Oh. I can see that you are now comfortable talking to me without any formalities. That's good." Anton said with a nod. 'No. I am just thinking you are only a troublesome brat who is still young and studying at the academy.' Technically speaking, Young Marquis Anton is five years older than Charlotte. But with her experiences, Charlotte can be considered the his senior seeing how he quickly changed his attitude in front of her. Letting out a sigh, Charlotte lifted her cup to take a small sip of her tea. After putting the cup back in its saucer, she noticed that Anton is looking at the book placed on the table next to her cup. "What is that?" The Anton asked. "A book." Charlotte quickly answered. "I... I know that is a book. What I am asking is what is it doing here?" "Because I brought it with me." "...You are now indeed
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Charlotte asked when she noticed that Anton is staring at him with contemplative eyes. "Nothing." the Young Marquis replied and shows her a smile. "Oh?" "That's the truth. I am just appreciating the tea that you choose for today. If I am not mistaken, this is the lavender tea that is exported from the Lastoval Kingdom. right?" "That's right." When Count Bryon discovered Charlotte likes to drink tea, he did not hesitate to use his connections to get all the good-quality tea bags he can purchase from different places. One of her favorites is the lavender tea that the Count gave her after his business trip. It was said this tea was enhanced by a Royal Princess who is the cousin of their Crown Prince. The taste of it is refreshing and it's very easy to drink.Since Count Byron bought several boxes of it, she decided to let Young Marquis Anton taste it. Charlotte had already sent two boxes of this tea to Prince Marius and Princess Andrea so they
When Charlotte arrives in their living room, she sees the Countess and her foolish Vice General talking with each other. They are in the middle of a conversation where Countess Rosalyn is asking if her daughter did something wrong. Charlotte raised a brow upon hearing but she did not say anything. Unfortunately, Sir Gabriel fails to answer the question because of her arrival.When Sir Gabriel sees the reason for his visit, he stands up and greets her first. Charlotte also did the same before she sits on the chair next to her mother. When she looks up, Charlotte noticed that Sir Gabriel is quietly observing her."Charlotte, you just arrived on time. Sir Nortus is here to visit you." Countess Rosalyn said first."My lady, I am Vice General Gabriel Nortus of the Nocturnus Knights. We met in the plaza when your bodyguard captured the goons loitering around the plaza.""Yes, I remember that." she replied. "I am Charlotte White, eldest daughter of Count Byron White and Countess Rosalyn Whit
