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
A month quickly passed and one of the most prominent events in their empire finally arrived. Today is the start of their kingdom's annual hunting event held by the Lapil Family. The men will showcase their talents while the ladies will gather and wait for the official scorings. The prize for today's event will be a huge chest of precious stones and a rare chance to ask a favor of their Crown Prince. These prizes were very attractive so a lot of people chose to participate.Many nobles set up their tents in their respective places. A huge white tent was placed at the center of it. It was the tent designated for the Royal family. Aside from its color, a red flag with the royal symbol was placed on top of it. The servants had already set this up yesterday and they also put the things the Royal family will need inside.The nobles who arrived early quickly fix their clothes and shows their best attitude to each other. The nobles know that Prince Marius will soon become their emperor if no
"You are thinking too much, father. You should worry about Roselyn more since she's popular among the young talents in our empire.""She can handle it herself. I'm more worried if someone will pressure you for a handkerchief today." The Count replied.Without any bias as a father, Count Byron knows Charlotte is a beautiful young lady. Not trying to brag, but she has a pair of beautiful parents. She inherited the beauty of Rosalyn and got her pair of sapphire blue eyes from him which is also the symbol of their family lineage. If he can view his daughter as a beautiful lady, then what more to those rascals who are pretending to scan the area but are secretly looking at the young ladies who attended this event?Not to mention, that rascal young master of the Lapil Family who keeps on bothering Charlotte ever since he learned she's back in their mansion. He has no issue with Anton in the past because they were still young and their thoughts were pure and innocent. But now that both of th
After several minutes of chatting beside her, it was Charlotte who surrendered and finally gave Young Marquis Anton the handkerchief he was asking from her. Charlotte swears she sees an imaginary tail behind that Young Marquis wagging happily as he tied her handkerchief to his sword. To avoid making more contact with him today, she quietly leaves his side and to go a quieter place."Thank you, kind Sir. I hope you can end this hunting event without any injury.""T-Thank you for your concern, Lady Roselyn."Stopping in her tracks, Charlotte can see how Roselyn is liking their situation. A lot of young men are approaching Roselyn and asking for her handkerchief. Before giving her a handkerchief, her adopted sister will act shy for a moment before giving her a dandelion-colored handkerchief with her initials embroidered on it. She will give it a short message of encouragement and ask them not to get hurt.Charlotte can see how Roselyn basks herself in happiness from the love and attentio
