I was about to give up the idea of going to my uncle's country, but then he suddenly uttered something strange. Not only that, I was also kind of surprises when he said something again.
"Then, then go" My eyes rounded because of the shock I just felt.
Unconsciously, I happily got up from my seat and went to hug daddy
'I can't believe it!'
Still hugging me, he sighed heavily
"Hah"
Do I look like a kid right now? Being so excited in a trip.
I am actually not looking forward to the idea of going to another country and have a great vacation. It's just that I wanted to take a breath from all of the stress that I am currently experiencing in this empire.
'I wonder, how will they react if they found out that I'll be going to my uncle's country'
well not like it matters as long as my father gave a permission to go there
"I seriously don't want to let you go to a dangerous place like that country"
"Come on, you alre
Early in the morning, I woke up and went to the Royal training grounds to have a training with dad about jow to control my mana"You're quite early" Seeing me inside the training grounds, daddy said while wearing his usual smirky look.'He meant that it is rare for me to wake up early'Not like it's an offending fact but I usually get mad whenever he acts that way or even mentioned things about how I always sleep but now, strangely I wasn't mad instead, I was delighted'maybe because I'll be finally have a peaceful life afyer six months. Though, it'll only last for a month, that's enough to have a refreshing year'At the very least, I won't have to deal with daddy and Calix there"You're no fun" Look at this guy's reaction when he failed to make me abnoyedToo bad dad, I am too happy to be mad today"That's alright. Let's start dad" Still smiling brightly, my dad just scoffed at me and I just laughed at his actions'So c
His face grew daek as soon as I said that. This is why it's hard to converse a have a conversation with this guy. He will either get mad when he doen't like what you are saying or use force"You know that it's not an enough reason for you to be here right?""It is" I said confidently,Well it's better this way. He would be distracted by different things and won't have any time to give me a single suspicions but of course I really have to be careful because Calix is an extremely intelligent male leadHe's basically the ideal type of every women because not only he's handsome, he's also skilled someone enough to became one of the best knights in the empire at his age"You're not getting my point Lalaine--" When I heard him speak again, I turned my head around and faced Irnes who's currently scared to death because of the bulky knightsCan't blame him though because knights always treated him bad that's why h
"What time is it?" I opened my eyes as soon as the sun got up to prepare for duchess Finiell's party.Unlike last time, the preparation will be quicker because not only I begged them to not to prepare me too much because I feel like those many steps of skin care, body care and hair cares are too tiring to conplete.Gladly, they agreed to my requests."It's currently 7 AM in the morning your highness" One of my maid said after looking at the clock at the top of my big picture frame on my room. Not like I'm too lazy to look at it but because my eyes is still blurry.Usually people who doesn't have a clear, good sight always experience this kind of thing.I am not sure but it's not mentioned in the novel that Princess Lalaine has a poor sight.No, I am actually thinking that maybe it's because I have a poor sight on my past life.Ah whatever, those things doesn't really matter to me."I'll eat breakfast here on my bed" I said to m
In hurry, I asked my maids to wash my face and dress me up immediately"Do it fast"After a few minutes of getting dressed, I went to the place where dad and Irnes at.What the hell is wrong with you dad? Why do you keep doing that?I am seriouslu losing my patience here, I thought he understand my point when I said that we'll talk tomorrow.I was seriously about to explain every details tomorrow because today, I have a party to attend to and it's very crucial.Gladly, I made Irnes stay on one of the rooms of my palace so I was able to get there fast.Looking at them, Daddy was at the side and bulky knights are circulated around Irness who is currently shivering in frights.How would this guy trust me if I already broke one of my promises to him on his first day of being by my side"Dad! What are you doing? He's my guest?" I asked innocently.I may be in a hurry but I can't lower his affectiom toward me by being t
Having no strength to answer, he just slowly turned his head side to side saying that they didn't. Well, I'm aware that they didn't hurt them seeing how fine his skin is. O just asked him just incase that they hurt him beneath his clothes.But since he said that they didn't, I didn't bothered to ask more questions because seeing how his state is, I know how terrible the feeling of him being threatened.I was like that before whne I just transmigrated here. I feel like dying whenever I am facing daddy. Sweats are pouring at my back and despite of having a baby body, I already experienced his strong bloodlust.Gladly. Now, he doesn't give off a bloodlust infront of me anymore because we've grown closer unlike before but to the people he doesn't know, he's giving them the same hate I experienced before.So this guy will probably need a lot of timw to recover his fear of him and knightsReaching my room, I asked my maid to take care of Irnes and let hi
"I heard you had your debutante' your highness, congratulations" he said and plastered a smile on his face but despite that, I know very well how greedy his face is.I once became a director in a play when I was in highschool in my past likfe so I'm quite sensitive when it comes to facial expression. Thanks to that, I manage to get a down payment for my college.Anyway, withput even looking at his expression, his history and actions in the past years are obviously dark. Dominating the small mines and using all kinds of method to grew even more richer.I heard this guy is also involved in the black market so there's really no need for me to be acquainted to him but it's still good for me to have a good impression from his point of view because after all, he is a someone who have a lot of connections and have a high position as well.He's a marquess, the third hifgest position in the empireSo let's bare with this guy.And so, I smiled brightl
Since my seat was placed near the front, marqioness asked one of the waiter to place it on the chair along with other seats at the near center.The seat made for me is quite gandious befitting the name royal, duchess Finiell must've worked hard to find and decorate my seat.Of course, the designs and interior of this hall is really great but I bet that this costs a lot seeing how a lot of jewels were used and a few golds, this must've been so expensive but since it's the duchy whom we're talkimg about here, it doesn't cost that much.Not like I'm poor but since I've lived a life inbpowerty on my past life, I find everything here expensive. Of course, I can afford this because not only I am a royal whp have a lot of allowances, I also have the key of the treasury where national treasures made for royals are at so I can spend and use it however I want but of course, I don't plan in doing that.Not that it's necessary anyway and I have a lot of allowan
"By the way, how's Blythe? i haven't seen her since the debutante'" I suddenly asked,It's true that I've been wondering why she's not coming into the palace when in fact, before she kept coming in here to have a talk with me or hang out.She's that clingy so I'm not used to her actions these past days,I am not sure whether it's because she just became too busy so she had no time to spare and go to the palace or she matured when she went at the border along with Riley.It's actualky better this way because I had a lot to do and I won't have time to have a chill time with her but of course I'm worried about her so I asked her mother avout this."She's currently busy studying and training for the incoming knights exam princess" The marqioness sighed whe she saud these words making her obviously stressed about the path that her daughter chose.Of course, I didn't really payed attention to that and just answered,"Ah, is that so? I
Few months after I found that book, I realized how much time I had wasted before having a relationship with Calix but now, it no longer matter as we are about to get married already. Of course, this is a national wedding since it involves me, the crown princess. 'Finally, we're getting married' Just a month ago, I felt so bad to my lady in waiting and dad's aide because of how busy they had become due to to my wedding but I can't just help but apologize because I myself is well aware that I need their help because if not, I won't be able to get married to Calix. I was still being prepared by so much people while Calix is already at the biggest church of the empire. Usually, Imperial princess like me is required to get married at the Palace but I tried to convince my father to just let me have a normal but expensive and great wedding in the biggest church in the Empire. Luckily, both him and Calix didn't had a problem with this issue and and instead, they just
Today, I came to the library to put back all the books that I got to study how to rule the empire but since it is no longer needed by me, I decided to finally put these things back. There, I asked my lady in waiting and maids to put the books where it is places last time.while I just reminisced a bit. I had a lot of memory in this place actually. Whenever I felt like I don't know about something, I will always struve hard to find out what I needed to know using this big library. Somehow, it feels amazing to be back here.Calix is currently not here as he went to go to their duchy since there was an emergency. He was even getying mad while hearing the words from a knight drom the duchy and I fekt bad for his aide so i just asked him to go for now since I had to do some things as well like this.There, I walked through in between of two big shelf and looked through books. As I was doing that, I saw how many times I spent in here as most of the books here are familiar wit
"Lalaine? Why are you spacing out?" Calix askes a she look at my face Coming back to my senses, I looked around me again and the office that I've seen a while ago is now long gone. We are now walkimg to the hallway while I am thinkim gof what had happened last time. It seems like he noticed how I spaced out while walking as he held both of my shoulder and gently shook it. "Hey? Are you alright?" he asked again and looked closely to me. Of course, as soon as I felt the knights eyes, I immediately smiled at him brightly saying that it's fine. It's just then that he cakmed down he must have been so worried that he acted a little rough I think today is the right time to give him the answer that he needs to hear "Calix, should we go and stroll to the garden. I just want to have a breathe of mind" I said as I look outside. Since we're at the second floor of the main palace, we can overlook the garden from here properly Noticing my mood, he wrapp
"It's not like I don't want you to be the next empress and ruler of this empire because I knew very well that you are a competent person so I'd like you to heat me out first before puttinf that kind of expression in your face. It feels like I betrayed you" Dad said'But really.. Why?'Not like I am sad about it because honestly, that job is too burdensome for me as well. Aristocrats fughts and succesions right. Those are just too tiring for me to even do but it's juat too sudden for me so I don't know how am I supposed to react. Hearing his words, I tried to think more but when I saw that he's still staring at my face,I cleared my face and mind while I give my full attention to what he's about to say."You know, since both of you are now grown up and I know sooner or later, you will get married. I figured out that it'll be hard for you ti managed the duchy as the dychess and the whole empire so K decided to delay it for now and wait until.you final
As I was thinking what she meant about it, a knight called me from the outside of my room"Your highness, his majesty is aaking you to come to his office" and so, after hearing the knight speak, I immediately moved to stand. As you know, I have been worrying for a lot of minutes now and I felt like if I don't go now, I'll definiteky die wonderng what is the reason of their so ling talk.There, I bid goodbye to.my lady in waiting whom I didn't has a long talk with and immediately got escorted by a knight towards dad's office. Of course as I was walking I became even more nervous and my heart beated like crazy.Soon, we reached his office. Before finalky entering, I tried to eavesdrop first to hear some talk inaide byt i didn't heard any and the knigts aroynd also looked at me strangely. They are pribabKy wondering qhy I am acting like this so I withdrew my head from the door.and fixed myself. It will be bad if my dignity got ruined here. I even made that for year
Everything went well and now, it has been months already since the ball had happened. We had our first monthsary together and enjoyed being in a relationship but today, strangely enough, both of us were summomed by my father. He said that he has something to talk about Calix and I so i was realky nervous. Actually, I kmew very well that dad is against of our relationship even before and until now so I was really hesitant and was wondering what it is that he has to say for him to summomed both Calix an I in a short noticed. Now, i am still eating my breakfast alome since Calix was already there talking with my alone as well.'I'm really nervous. Why.m did he even saud that we has to meet him separately. Now, I am getting more and more nervous as seconds passed'If I continue eating like this, I don't think I'll be able to digest every foods that are currentlt on my table. In the end, I had to call my.maids and lady in waiting to ask them to get these food sout of this t
I looked at the front where two of my bestfriends ar wstanding at. Lalaine and Calix. I can't help but feel bad as I look at the both of them. I don't know, maybe I just accept the fact that they are auited to each other"Rylie, are you sad?" Blyhe asked as he glanced at the front as well. I didn't answered . This girl have always known that I like Lalaine for a long time now so I don't th8nk I have to act as cheerful as what I usually do. There, I stayed as quiet as I can and bitterly smiled"Why didn't you confessed if you loved her this much? You knew her very well, she won't know it unless you tell it yourself" she said as low as she can fearing that someone may hear us talking"You know it as well too. I am not a someone who deserves her yet thatvs why I did my best to prove myself before confessing but I didnvt know until two weeks ago that they are already in a relationship" I said again and glanced at Calix who's now looking at me as well.I know
"Your majesty? Doena't her highness and the duke suits each other?" I looked at aide full of displeased expression. There's no way that that bastard suits my daughter. That bastard. How dare ge acts cunning tonm get Lalaine's heart."They are far from like that. Stoo blabbering so much and do your work. You'r enot getting paid for your chitchats" Insaid as I handed more papwrs to him for him to work on."But your majesty, why did you apprived of thsir relationship if you're still not satisfied with duke Finiell?" He once again so I threw him some dagger eyes to make him move. I have been too kind to this guy to act like this. I shoukd some times punish this Aide.Come to think of it, the reason why I approved of them. It's not because I found that shitty bastard deserving of Lalaine rather, it's because Lalaine likes him but if now, I would have killed him on the spot right after I knew that he and my daughter are going out. Alao, it's not like I have to w
"Her highness, the crown princess and His excellency, the duke is here!" the knight announced as we reach the hall. As expected, a lit of people are currebtly inside inckuding the knights. Some nobles whispered to each others as usual while the knights juat looked at us in amazement. Well, this must have yhe second time of me.meeting them so I gave them a short smile while Calix juat maintained his indifderent expressions toward them. The surrounding is as expensive as usual. Golds are everywhere and silvers are also distributed well in designs. The chandelier were also replaced. It seems like this Ceremony is juat that important.Again, I looked around the hall. There are also noble ladies tahtbare currently present inside the hall so I gentky nodded at the sight"Let's go over my seat" I said and pointed at the front thrones alimg with dad's. Since Calix is still a duke, he doesn't have a throne but he can stay beside me alk he want just like dad's aide qho alw
