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
"hah this is really hard" I said while frowning. Now, it's already afternoln and up until this moment, I stull haven't anything yet. Not to mention, I haven't even thought of a single strategy that can help them as well. Aside from being hungry, I am becoming more and more frustrated as minutes passes by. I don't know byt this is the first time that I have ever felt thiz much frustration. After all, I always had a solution on my problems.'I din't think U'll be able to think clearly this way' Again, I sighed and put down the pen that I am currently holding. I have been taking notes of the key parts and characteristics of the dragon that a knight must watch out so even my finger us starting to get numb due to too much exhaustion and repeatedly using it to write more. Since letters here are quiet complicated, it is harder to write it. Maybe that's the reason why my finger is now starting to get numb. On my past life, I usually write more than this everyday to pass very ex
After eating, I took my time looking around my veranda where i can see the servants going around like crazy. Knights are also busy outside talking to each other. I don't know why they are talking while currently in touch of the sun heat while sweating like crazy. Looking at them, they must have just finished their training. Although the knights quarter are a luttke fa4 from my palace, their training quarter is near so I often see and hear them train. Of course, they are being diligent as always which made me look at them in a favorable impression. After all, the more they work hard, the safer this country is. Of course, the reason why they are currently training thus hard is partly because of their commander whuch is really strict. Yes, although he is not as struct as the past commander, he is still strict enough to get them rolling all they if they came to the training grounds late.In result, no knights have been late lately and they are all working diligently. Sometimes, i
I had more thoughts than usual these days so finishing this one as early as possible is the right choice of course. I read through the pages until it's already past time for dinner. All day, I did nothing but read and read and read while using my mental knowledge. It was quite exhausting in the morning but now that the sun has finally went down, it's even more tiring. I don't know why but it's maybe because I have this mentality that says, it's now time to rest since the day is finally over. Actually, I know very well that almost all people are depending on the su while working. They have this mentality that says, once the sun is down, the work and the day is finally over. Now, it's finally time to rest. Of course, that doesn't apply to my dad who almost work every minutes and seconds. He doesn't know the word rest unlike normal people. Not like it's strange though, after all, he is not a normal person. Anyway, as soon as I finished reading the second book, I looked at the rou
Knights, mana sword knights, magicians from the tower. That's the ones that are supposed to participate in the subjugation.I thought for mor eminutes before coming into a good plan.Mana sword knights are the one who was supposed to slice the dragon wings while the magicians will set up a barrier around the surrounding of the drago so once it turns into berserk mode, it won't cause too much damage around the mountain. In short, we are basically jailing it. With the barrier around it, it won't be ablw to go oAround and kill some ordinary knights. While it's still on it's berserk mode, no one will make a move and will instead stay in a place where they can be safe. It will stay on that mode for weeks but ut's fine that way. They can fight longer as long as the win is a sure one. If it calmed down a bit, the magicians who can use fire arrow, ice arrow, wind arrow or even spears, that's the moment that they will attack it's eyes. Again, the soldiers will move into a safer p
Opening the door of dad, I entered his office. It's still eight in the morning but right after bathing, I went on my way to look for dad to duscuss something with him"You're quite early today.." Dad said while busily moving around his desk. Another pile of work. Now that I think about it, I am glad to have a two talented managers who can do the work for me. Fortunately, because if I donvt have them, I don't think I will be able to do things this calmly. I feel like if I have to do things that way, I won't be able to finish things up and just rather die out of tiredness of my mental."Yeah, I am indeed early" I sighed and sat at his comforting couch. As usual, it felt so good to sit in here. I just woke up but again, I felt sleepy. Maybe the partly reason is because I was too exhausted last night for thinking too much. His office smells good too so how can I stop from myself from sleeping at this kind of atmostphere. Not to mention, the sound of the pen on
"Yeah, but rest ther first. There wilñ be a national.meeting which will be held later at 11 in the morning. Attend with me" He said. I knew it. Seeing his grin, I knew that he is planning something annoying.Not like I am shock though. After all, that's just how things are. That's how he is. He likes making fun of his daughter. No, actually, I already expected something like that. Since I already heard the news that daddy is holding a national meeting for nobles and knights to have some talks regarding this matter. Although I know that, I kind of thought that since I wasn't told by dad to come, he wouldn't ask me to join but then, I thought of this one thing. If I gave the strategy informations to dad, he will most likely ask me to join this so called national meeting. Regardless of anything, I won't do something foolish later. Rather, I will actually use this opportunity to raise my reputation more and make a sturdy place on the empire. Of course, it is not my first time atte
A few moments after working, dad went up and tapped my shoulder. He has been working all this time so what does this guy wants now. I looked up to him only to see him putting his outer robe where his achievement pins are currently placed at. How stunning. I wonder, jow can a father be this handsome? How come the author came up with this kind of father? Really. He is one of the most handsome someone that i have ever envountered. He is almost the same as the male lead. And eceb after working with so much pile of works, he stilñ have the charm to make people i. Awe of his facial features. Now that I am seeing this with my own eyes, I can't helo buy feel a little envious of his face. Yes, that's what I was about to feel until I realized that his genes is currebtly flowing into pri cess lalaine's body where I currently possesed. In short, it is thabks to him that I have this beauty today. Although it is not mine, it is still helping me with my life. I bet princess Lalaine won't ls
"Is it?" I asked curiously. I never thought that he had such thoughts with him. Now, I feel like crap which I donvt know why obviously. There, I looked at him with a curious gaze which he immediately disregarded. 'What a guy, how can he just brush off my cute curious gaze so naturally?' "haa.." i sighed He didn't even bothered entertaining my gaze and went ahead of me. "Won't you go? I don't think we have a lot of time to have some simple chat with each other" "Wait, can't you atleast warn me?" There, we walked together outside. Since the main hall where meetings are being held is just near his office, we didn't walked in a long distance which is really fortunate because if ut's far and we won't use a single carriage, I don't think I'll be able to walk so comfortably in heels. Anyway, it's not like I am comfortable at this moment as well because I am now currently shivering in coldness. Maybe because I got used to the w
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
