"You should have worn something much more comfortable. Should I just carry you?" he said as he noticed that I had a really hard time walking a while ago. Not only my breathing is heavy, I am also feeling a little bit stiff on my feet part. Although, I am not really sweating, I still felt haggard.
'It's good that he is being a littke considerate but it's kind of bothersome if he say that he'll carry me if I said so'
Anyway, as I hear him said these words, I almost wanted to pluck his pretty eyes off. Seriously, I am getting more and more jealous at his deep, blue sparkling eyes. But yeah, a while ago I tried to refuse wearing this overly dramatic sandals but I didn't won from them.
Actually, as soon as I wore these, I already knew that I will have a hard time walking while wearing this.
No, actually even before trying it on, I immediately thought of doing whatever it takes to not to wear this one but no, my maids are too clever and smart to be ou
"Welcome back your highness" one of the ladies approached me and Calix right after entering the hall. Of course, they also greeted him with respect. After all, he's no longer just a successor. He ia now the duke, the one that leads a couple of knights. They just probably decided to greet me first according to the ettiquette. "Welcome back duke Finiell" there, a girl in a grand gowm plastered a smile. I am not that familiar with her but I know that she came from a viscount family. Seeing how she bloomed a smile toward Calix who seemed indifferent to her, she must have planning to seduce him. 'I can see her intention very well' 'But unfortunately, that will never work on a male lead like Calix. He's not seeking some random beauty, you need to have a something that the heroine has to make him fall for you' I silently thought She's a pleasant girl but with that attitude, I bet she's a sly person. Not like I am annoyed by her but i might as
"uh so suddenly?" I uttered unconciously. Since I wasn't paying that much attention to him and was onky focus at the next move of this girl. Bu I suddenky regretted for not thinking before speaking. As you can see it is indeed an infotmal speech that can only be used by close people. Yes, informal speeaches are only for families, in a relationship couples and close friends. So I bet these noble ladies around us already misunderstood me and Calix. They are now probably thinking what category does me and Calix falls. 'haaa' I sighed inwardly Well, not like this kind of thing is new or anything. After all, this already happened a couple of times and the rumors didn't last long either so I shouldn't just mind it because it might even ruin my night if I keep getting too spaced out and may make an even bigger mistake. Yes, that will be worse of course It's actually good that this is the only mistake I had done bec
'Dad is already here' This girl is quite fortunate for having dad to interrupt her action because if not, I'm afraid that ahe may be humiliated more. Anyway, dad is as handsome as always. He walked like as if he owned the hall and stand at the very front of us. As usual, he have a really dazzling handsome face that even I, his daughter can't believe that those genes are running through mine. 'These unrealistic beauty of them are just too much for an average person like me' Despite living in this place for a lot of years already, I juat can't get used to it. Despite of dad's age, he is still handsome enough to compete with other young noble. Even celebrities and high class supermodels on my oast life cannot be compare with my father and Calix. Even the highest paid make model can't surpass dad's beauty "Let's start the party and enjoy it well. For my daughter who had just returned, welcome back! The empire
Also, how come it is lady Rizeane who's harassing her? Well, it wasn't really a problem since a lot of it will change because I did changed myself. Of course, the whoule course of the plot will be the same and I expected just this much at the very least. It's just that I am confused why this is happening now? Yes, why now? It was supposed to happen months from now byt what's with the early happenings?Wait--it is also possible it is not her. Maybe just a similar situation byt it's not her. I don't really know. After all, I didn't saw her face because the noble ladies are curcling around her. Yes, that is why I am not certain whether this girl is the protagonist of this novel or not. Unconciously, I looked at Calix's face to observe his reaction because based on the novel, he was supposed to react to this scene and will become their first encounter.Their first meeting was supposed to happen in a more grandious ball than this but it's perfecrly fine. It took
Also, I need to think through things. I need to know why is Calix not reacting the same way as the novel. With that thoughts of mine, I walked away from them with the usual posture along with Calix but halfway, I stopped and looked at Calix. Of course, I hesitated for a bit but it won't hurt to ask him a single thing. Not like it will affect the future. I just want to know the truth for now to have more idea about why this is happening.This kind of change is seriously not good. It can worsen the situation. Yes, if the flow of the story gets interrupted, I will no longer no what the future holds so as much as possible, I want to stay on the plot until it ends. Actually, it would have been fine if it's jus5 a major scene but no, the first meeting of the both of them are the key of the story because there, the male lead had a really good impression of her and would think about her everyday until he fell inlove with her.That's how the plot works in this novel so this one
Anyway, regardless of that, I just stayed my head on his chest to hide my face until we reached the main palace where daddy's office is at. As soin as we reached that place, I immediately asked him to put me down. Of course, I am really worried that as soon as he put me down, he will see how red my face is so I calmed myself a few tumes before finally facing him. This time, I gained some calmness and sat at dad's couch.'Ha.. So comfy'This is what I love in dadd's office. His couches are just too amazing. Maybe because it was imbued by magic that it turned out this comfy but yeah, sitting here feels like heaven. My couches on my palace room has the same materials as this but since there was no magic in it, it's not as comfortable as this. I think it's a good thing too actually. After all, if I owned a couch like this, I don't think I will be able to stand and work because I will feel so sleepy.Anyway, before I sit at the couch, I gave a glance to Calix t
We talked more about few things until it's already late 10 at night. Honestly, we had a great time talk8ng about my mother. He mentioned how kind hearted is she and what she usually do in her free time. Since not all of this informations are at the novel since the author just made a limited point of view to daddy, the knowledge of me regarding their love story is also limited. So through this conversation, I have learned a lot. He mentioned how he often went out of tje castle just to meet with her as often as possible but what's more interesting for me is when uncle used to peek on them always whenever mom and him are together and having a date.I enjoyed my time together with him talking about his happy pasts of course but both of us can't help but smile bitterly beacuse the spurce of these happy memories is now long gone and won't come back anymore. I never met her so I never had a feeling if attachment to her but still, as a someone who considered her as my mother, I
The next morning, just like what i had expected, the news about the appearance of a dragon spread like wild fire. So as soon as I woke up from sleeping, the people in the palace including the servants and my lady in waiting became busy chatting with each other. Actually, that's what woke me up. Yes, their whispering voices are what made me awake. Of course, those are not intentional. After all, waking up a royal family member from their slumber without an important reason is prohibited.It's not like I will punish them for a petty reason like this. Maybe if the princess that they are serving is the original one, they could be punished or worse be killed. The soldiers or those what we call knights are also making a fuss early in the morning. Aside from their training became even more enthusiastic, now they are also shouting some encouraging words while training. That's seriously annoying but it's quite fine because after all, it is for this country anyway.Also, n
