Prince Marius has mixed feelings when he heard about the divorce between Count Byron and Countess Rosalyn. Before he agreed with Charlotte's plan to return to her family, he asked his trusted aide to conduct an investigation into them. The Count is an honest man who is still looking for his missing daughter until now while the Countess used to be the center of attention on every occasion during her prime. After Charlotte went missing, they decided to adopt a child to help the Countess overcome her depression.Since they seem decent and don't have any illegal businesses, Prince Marius allowed Charlotte to return and become a Count's daughter. He thought maybe it was time for her to feel her family's love after fourteen years of separation. Although they are now considering Charlotte as their family, there are still a few things that she can only find in her real family.But Prince Marius was wrong.It seems like Charlotte's existence is not well-anticipated and it even causes a small c
"I apologize for taking a lot of time inside." Madam Bordino said to the prince.But Prince Marius did not reply. He is busy looking out the window where a lady is still shouting outside. The madam listens carefully what are the words that the lady is shouting outside the boutique. She cannot recognize the woman's voice, but she sounds so mad because the boutique was closed. Madam Bordino quickly approached the prince and ask for his forgiveness. "I apologize for the disturbance it causes you, Your Highness. I will quickly deal with that lady so it will not happen in the future." Madam Bordino said while bowing in front of the prince. Her staff followed their boss and they also bowed in front of him. "You can stand up now. There is no need for that, Madam Bordino. It is not you who has no manners to scream like that in a broad daylight." Prince Marius said as stand up from his seat and fix the collar of his clothes. "Are you done?" the prince asked when he turned around to look at
"Lady Kretin, it's good to see you again!""Hmm." Several days after the incident that happened two days ago in front of a boutique, Lady Kretin agreed to meet with one of her juniors in the academy. It was Roselyn. Today, they are meeting in a famous restaurant that is famous for its delicious steaks and wines.When Roselyn sees Lady Kretin, she quickly put a smile on her face and greets her energetically. After that, they sit on their respective chair and asked the waiter to bring them something to drink first before they order their meals. After their greetings, Lady Kretin can't help but look at Roselyn from head to toe before she raised a brow."Where is Silica? Is she not here yet?""Lady Silica told me that she cannot come to see you. Her father brought her to their province to meet their other relatives.""Oh. That's too bad.""Lady Silica wants me to tell you that she will send you a gift once she returns to the capital.""Alright. Anyway, you looked stressed. What happened
"I heard an interesting gossip from a little puppy.""Hmm?""Someone dares to be rude in front of Her Highness, huh...""I can see that the puppy you are talking about is very loyal to you."When Prince Marius said that, he looks at Sir Gabriel who is standing stiffly behind Charlotte and avoiding his eyes. On the day the royal twins encountered Lady Kretin outside the boutique, Sir Gabriel was following them in secret. Knowing that he was present, Prince Marius can feel at ease to bring his little sister outside. Unfortunately, he cannot show up when Lady Kretin started talking to the princess because it would be weird for the others to see the Vice General of the Nocturnus Knights appear in the plaza without any reasonable explanation. Sir Gabriel pretends that he cannot see their Crown Prince right now. Although he wants to explain his side, the Vice General still believes he did the best course of action. And that was reporting the incident to General Commander Rovira knowing how
Back in the receiving room, Lady Kretin is very pleased to hear from a servant that Prince Marius will see her and not his twin sister. Fortunately, the reports she received that the Crown Prince rarely leaves the Royal Palace are all true. It was said that he did it to spend time with his twin sister and to deal with all the documents that needs his urgent attention. But she is still dissatisfied that the room where the female butler brought her is in a small receiving room and not in his office or inside a luxurious receiving room. The wallpapers and types of furniture inside this room are all dull and old. It is also obvious that the room does not receive any sunlight for a long time. Even the carpet in it is rough and too hard on one's feet. But Lady Kretin does not have the heart to complain about it. Not when the Crown Prince will soon meet her. She can settle this situation for now. But in case she becomes the Crown Princess and made an improvement in her relationship with th
Lady Kretin's body suddenly froze when she heard those words. The usual neutral expression of the Crown Prince suddenly turned cold and void of any emotion. When she slowly turned her head, Lady Kretin can a cold glare from the female General. She is now facing the General Commander who joined the battlefield for years, not just a female subordinate of the Crown Prince."Am I right, Lady Kretin?" General Commander slowly asked. All of a sudden, as if someone provoked her, Lady Kretin glares at General Commander Rovira. She already noticed it. But this one keeps on intervening in her conversation with the Prince. She is not even a part of their conversation. And yet, this female General rudely interjected herself from time to time."If you'll excuse me—""I don't want to. You're rude.""W-What?""What? Are you really that stupid?"Lady Kretin opens her mouth but she quickly closes it when no words come out from it. Did she just openly insult her in front of the Crown Prince? She, who
"Prince Marius.""Hmm? What is it?""I just want to inform you that I will cut my ties with you if Lady Kretin is going to be your Crown Princess.""Ha?!""Instead, I will give my full support to Princess Andrea so she fights and overthrow you to become the next Emperor of this empire.""But that's treason—""It's not treason if the princess will succeed, right? So think carefully.""You're thinking too much, General Commander Valentine.""I'm serious.""Alright, alright. I understand. And besides, do you really think I will choose a woman like her to become the mother of this empire? I'm not that stupid, you know.""I just want to make it clear."Prince Marius let out a sigh after that. Of course he will not choose that woman to be his Crown Princess. She has all the things he hates in a person. And besides, it feels like a disaster will happen if that woman becomes a part of the Royal Family which is something that Prince Marius will never let happen."So are you going back to your
If Sir Landon will declare to the public that he was a nobleman in the past, no one will believe him. He is only wearing normal clothes, his skin is now a bit tanned because of the sun, his hands are rough and covered with calluses, he has now a few wrinkles on his face and the way he becomes overly polite with every noble is something that only a commoner will do. He does not have any shed of nobility in his body anymore.But the look in his eyes is not showing any of it. Instead, he still looks happy and contented. He is probably happier now compared to his life as a noble before. Sir Landon probably finds peace and happiness with the person he loves on his side.And his happiness is also obvious from the looks of his children. Listening to Riva's words before, Sir Landon is a good father to all of them. He is still giving them the love and happiness that they all deserve. These things will be impossible for him to provide if he is not happy and contented with his current life and s
