"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
Two weeks after her conversation with Sir Landon, a maid called General Rovira into her office and asked her to go to the princess's room. They said Princess Andrea is looking for her. Without wasting more time, the female General set aside her work and stands up from her seat.When the female General arrives in front of Princess Andrea's room and gently opens the door and sees Madam Bordino enjoying a cup of tea on the sofa. Princess Andrea is sitting in her usual spot. When the madam sees her, she gets surprised and quickly put her teacup down to properly greet the female General."A humble greetings to General Commander Rovira Valentine." Madam Bordino said and do a proper curtsey in front of her. "Please stand up now, Madam Bordino." Rovira said as she stands up behind the princess.Princess Andrea looks at her and Rovira gives her a nod. Because there is someone in front of them, the princess knows she cannot run and give her favorite person a hug."I apologize for making you wa
Once again, Charlotte has free time on her hands. To be exact, Count Byron gave her a lot of money again so she can buy a beautiful dress for the upcoming banquet in the Royal Palace. At first, the Count tried to convince her to call a designer into their villa to avoid tiring herself too much. But Charlotte made an excuse saying she wants to walk around the plaza to check the other shops that sell beautiful dresses.Count Byron was worried to let her go by herself. He cannot go with her since there are a lot of things that need his urgent attention. But his daughter reassured him saying she has Sir Lance with her. Aside from it, Charlotte promised to go home early so they can have dinner together. Charlotte, who is now in disguise and dressed in her simple military uniform, decided to do a secret inspection around the plaza. It was supposed to be Sir Gabriel's task for today. But she decided to switch their tasks and leave the Vice General to train their knights in the barracks inst
Days passed so quickly that they did not notice it is already the royal twins' birthday banquet. All the nobles are busy preparing to attend the party and personally congratulate the twins. Of course, everyone in the Royal Palace is also busy, especially the servants of the Royal Family."Your Highness, you are so beautiful tonight!" "All the eyes of the noblemen will be on Her Highness! That's for sure!" Princess Andrea said nothing. She remained seated on her chair while the maids who were busy all day are now showering her with praises. Looking at her reflection, the princess feels nothing about it. Still, the maids are already used to her reactions so the princess keeps receiving a lot of good words from the people around her."You are really my muse, Your Highness." Madam Bordino said. Her eyes are twinkling while staring at Princess Andrea. "You are really beautiful, princess.""Hmm." the princess hummed in reply."We are just telling the truth!""That's right!"Before her ma
