When the Daffodil Blooms CHAPTER 92
When Charlotte returns inside the office, she sees Prince Marius staring at the huge painting hanging on the wall. It is a simple painting of a small flower growing in a ruined forest. Charlotte bought it from a poor painter who is selling his works in the busy plaza."I did not notice you like this kind of painting." Prince Marius said without looking at Charlotte. "I will send my secretary to send you a few paintings in our treasury that you can display in your mansion.""There's no need for that. It will only become too much work for my employees." Charlotte replied."Don't be like that. Just treat it as a reward for the bravery you showed in our birthday banquet.""You are too stubborn. But forget it. Just drink the tea that I brought here. The chef is worried and says it will help you calm your nerves." "Oh."Prince Marius slowly picked up the cup and smelled the liquid in it. After cooling it for a while, he drinks the tea and the minty taste of it quickly spreads in his mouth.

When Charlotte opens her eyes, she feels dizzy and her legs suddenly lose their strength making her sit on the ground. She can also feel a faint throbbing sensation in her chest. Charlotte has to take a few deep breaths before shaking her head. Whoever used that teleportation spell on her is definitely a skilled magician. People who use magic are not rare in their empire although only a few can succeed in this field. Summoning a teleportation circle on someone away from you can only be achieved if the caster has a lot of mana in his body and certainly knows how to perform advanced magic. But Charlotte hasn't heard of any person who is good at using magic in their empire.Still, the teleportation spell they used for Charlotte is unstable. The reason why she feels dizzy is that the caster's body is in trouble. A perfect teleportation spell should bring a person from one place to another without making them feel anything. In case the person they are transporting can feel a sudden uneasi

Charlotte mockingly said."I don't have any name." He slowly replied.Charlotte gives the man a questioning look."I don't possess such an important thing like that."Charlotte stares at him with squinted eyes. She's trying to see if he is just lying to her or not. But all she can see is his serious expression while looking back at him. If this young man is just trying to fool her, then he can definitely compete with the best stage actors and actresses performing in the famous opera house in their empire."Why don't you give me a name?" The silver-haired man suddenly asked.The female General turns her head around and gives him a frown. Charlotte has already noticed it the first time she met this young man.

She heard that Charles has captured every knight's attention because of it.'And to think that I'm the one who came up with his name.'Charles, who is now clad in his new knight uniform, puts a fist on his chest in front of her and bows his head.
