"That's quite enjoyable. Maybe we should do this more often from now on" Blythe suggested which I nodded as an answer of course. I saw how muvh she enjoyed our time today.
Now, we are already at a near restaurant and obviously, we are currently eating for afternoon snack. It's still 3 : 00 in the afternoon so it's quite inapproriate to eat a full meal course so instead, we ordered some desert as a snack and some refreshments juice.
She ordered a cheesecake while I ordered grahams. Since itvs quite sunny today, I figured out that eating some cold desserts will be much better than any other desserts.
We just finished shopping at the jewelry shopped and directly went here. The jewelries that we purchased was already packed and are currently inside our respectives carriages and was being guarded by our escorts. Although Blythe is not riding her carriage, she still have one so she decided to put her jewels in there
"But let's still not include Calix and Rylie
Our hang out ended just a while ago and now, I just arrive at my palace after I rode carriage. On our way back, she dexided to just ride her own because our way is kind of different. After all, the mansion of them are on the opposite rode. She must have felt that it will be hard to go on both way that's why she came up to an idea to just use her own.Truthfully speaking, I am quite tired but at the same time, I am happy and relieved to see her acting that way. At the very least, I managed to cheer her up on our meet today and I also acquired a good news. 'So her parents finally acknowledge her efforts and her passion'I've always wished for her parents to accept the path that she's taking and gladly, they finally did. No wonder her smile felt different today.Her smile felt more sincereI am happy for her progress and I truly best for her best performance for tomorrow's test. I'll definitely support her. Whether she pass or not, I'll still be proud
"Your highness, pardon me but you need to prepare now for the knight's assesment" These words woke me up from peacefully speaking. Obviously, since this is an urgent matter, they must have thought that it's best for them to wake me up than be late on the knight's examination. I opened my eyes immediately and roamed my eyes around to check the time.It is currently 7 : 00 in the morning and the knight's assesment is 9 : 40.'I really am late'Obviously, I have to prepare for hours so I really have to prepare early to have an enough time. It woulld be bad for me and my image to be late on this special day. If I come late, I'm afraid that those nobles would spread some rumors like 'The crown princess is taking the knights easy'. And if they do, my image will be ruined and there's a possibility that knights will view me differently. That will be hard especially I have to recruit some skilled knights and bring them to my side no matter whatI turned my h
Few minutes after putting the gown on, they started putting foundation on my face for my look obviously. Since it didn't take that really long, I was able to get ready on the time of arrival which is 9 : 00 in the morning.The reason why we have to go 9 : 00 is obviously because we still have to travel by using carriage. Well, Dad and I will be riding in the same carriage as what dad ordered. Not like it's an unusual thing though. After all, we are daughter in father in an imperial family. Also, it's not like it's the first time that we go out together."Hi dad! Are we going now?" With a few knights on me, I went to dad's palace ro check on him since it's already the time of arrivalThere, I saw him on his usual royal attire but unlike other days, she is full of badges on his chest side. That are probably his Military awards when he ended a lot of wars when he was still a prince and not yet to succeed the throne. I was told that it's a really valuable awards so
We rode the carriage for a few minutes. The venue where the knight's exam will happen is at the biggest training hall at the empire. It was especially designed for every knights to train at and for ecents regarding knights. It was estableshed at the fourth generation of imperial family and up until now, it is still existing and everyone are using it.As expected, the hall is really big and I can tell that even though I am still inside the carriage. And obviously since this is a big event a lot of people are outside to probably show their support at their family. Well, the only people aside from knights that are allowed inside are viscount and above so they are showing their support by waiting here until their family who is taking a test passes.As soon as we arrived at the entrance, the knights made way for us first before they opened the door of the carriage. Obviously, some of them who haven't seen us are surprised again. Of course, dad escorted me while I
Being able to swing a sword means that they have done that a lot of times or they are just really skilled and probably a genius so I can't still distinguish if they are deserving to be part of my secret nights. I still have to see who will stand out in strength later at the sparring match. So I should wait for a bit.'I need to be patient'By the way, I've been looking around the hall to see where Blythe is but because there's so much crowd that it's hard to find her. While her parents can be seen because they are at the nobles's section unlike Blythe who's at the crowd. Well, later I'll saw her anyway when she start swinging hee sword."They are sloppy" While looking around, I heard my dad say these words"Haha" I laughed awkwardly when the knight's division commander looked at our side. He must have heard what dad said. Not like I expected dad to be amazed by these knights. After all, he's too skilled and he have a really high standard in terms of using
Not to mention, his fit physique. He looks undeniably handsome. If I've seen him on my past life, I am positive that I will die for him just to get his attention. But now, it's different. I am already immune to beautiful looks. After all, I grew up with Calix and Rylie whuch are obviously too handsome to bare. Not to mention, here's my dad. My one and only father who have the God of looks at his side.Who wouldn't be immune right? Still he's handsome. Of course, not enough to dominate Calix, Rylie and dad. I'll watch him for now and if I see that he really have the talent and skill for sword, I'll be scouting him no matter what. I just hope that he have the right attitude for a knight. As you know, nobles at his age are often too boastful and full of themselves and sometimes doesn't even know how to respect someone. Well, we'll see that laterI observe him again but while I am looking at him, he looked up to me causing us to have an unexpected eye contact. Of cou
Few minutes after Calix arrival, the commander once again spoke"For the examinee who wasn't able to swing 1000 times, please leave the hall right away. You failed." he said loudly just like a while ago.I looked at the aspiring knights who passed. There are more who passed than who failed and fortunately, Blythe also failed. I looked at her condition and although she's in sweat, she looks like she still have a lot of energy to spare and I think it's enough for her to continue to the next round which is sparring obviously. I also gave a glance to the guy who is skilled. He's not even in sweat. Rather than tired, he looks like he just finiahed warming up.'He's good'But the only problem is he just keep on looking at me then smiling strangely. I don't know what that means but it kind of feels a little uncomfortable. Maybe that's because I'm used to people looking at me with adoratiom so I'm really bothered. Of course, Calix and dad is an exemption to
Just like everyone else Hyden seems to be so surprised and overwhelmed by the sudden turned out of happenings. Obviously. Unlike Carsilio who specializes everything, Calix has it all. Good agility, techniques and power as well. As for now, he's probably thinking about what to do once they start the fight.'I suddenly felt bad for him'He is indeed extraordinary enough to dominate almost all of the knights except the knights inside dad's order, the royal knights. Yes, I know that he's still new but more practice, he will def8nitely reach the peak of knights and I will make him become like that of course. After all, he is destined to be under me"As per the Finiell's duchy heir, we will have an another spar! Ready, fight!" the commander once again shouted. Obviously, Hyden cautiously positioned himself and looked at Calix with an observant eyesIt's good that he's not forgetting his tactic even though he is in the midst of pressure. After all, he is f
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
