Cordelia was surprised. "Dad, what prince and princess?"Rowan did not look too good as he cracked a wry smile."Pass Zuko to the nanny and ask Zephyr to come. I'll take you both to meet them!"They came to the hall shortly after.Cordelia saw a man and woman sitting on the couch upon entering.The Irwins' reception hall was glittery and luxurious. The two people who sat there were dressed in traditional Southeast Aciatic clothing and decked out in jewelry, looking affluent and noble.Charlie introduced Cordelia and Zephyr to meet them according to royal etiquette.Charlie said in a lowered voice, "Ms. Cordelia, Mr. Zephyr, this one on the left is Princess Victoria Charles, and on the right is Prince Alexander Charles. You should bow to them."Cordelia nodded and bowed politely before looking up at them.Victoria smiled and greeted her. It was said that she was the only princess in the royal family, so her status was extraordinary.Cordelia thought that it was not just her st
The royal family would be so embarrassed if the princess showed how much she desired a man!Therefore, Rowan slowly placed the teacup down, and a sly glint flashed in his smiling eyes."Your Highness, you're asking about Neil?"Victoria had been tinkering with her accessories, and her fingers curled up when she heard Neil's name. However, she looked unfazed.Rowan said smilingly, "Neil did come back with them.""Then I…" Victoria hesitated."Your Highness, how could you speak up in initiative, given your high status?" Rowan said calmly, "According to the royal family rules, Your Highness can't ask to meet a man personally. It'd have to be Neil who makes an official invitation with gifts!"There was a change in Victoria's expression.Waiting for Neil to ask to meet her? What difference would it make from asking the sun to rise from the west?Despite that, she could not retort since Rowan brought up the royal family rules. She could only bite her lips and tug on her bracelet.A
Cordelia nodded.There were many factions in the Southeast Aciatic royal family that were complicated and intertwined. The degree of collusions and intrigues was no lesser than the four major families of Centrolis—might even be worse.After all, they were not just fighting for wealth and assets. The throne was even more crucial. Whoever had military rights would have higher chances of winning.This was why the Harrises turned out to be the hotcake.Noah was not in any urgency to decide on Neil's marriage. He might also be waiting and considering which faction had the potential."Victoria and Alexander are the most hopeful," Rowan told them. "You can't avoid interacting with the royals. Remember to keep a low profile and treat everyone fairly. Don't ever show that you've taken a side, understand?""Mm, don't worry!"Rowan held their hands. "Cordelia, Zephyr, Irwin Pharmaceuticals will need you in the future…""What?" Cordelia was alarmed. Zephyr also found it unbelievable. He
There were plenty of tailor shops like this and excellently skilled embroidery artists in Southeast Aciatic.When Aurelia went for her trial, the owner showered her with praises, so it was only a matter of course that Aurelia got to stay.It was just that her payment was lower than others because she only had a temporary residence permit and did not have an official status.Aurelia did not mind. She had never lived this openly in broad daylight. Back in Melorian, she had often said self-deprecatingly that she was a sewer rat. At that time, she would not even dare imagine that she could work a proper job under broad daylight one day—that she could make a living for herself by working and earning a salary.She appreciated this opportunity that was hard to come by and worked harder than everyone else. Her plan was to save enough money and return Cordelia the rent that she had paid for her, then continue to save up for university.Once they got familiar, the owner liked the pretty gir
Aurelia's heart jolted, and her back stiffened. There were several times that she wanted to turn around, but it seemed that a resistance pinned her on the spot, and she could only listen to the heavy footsteps approach slowly.The small tailor shop felt as if a low pressure had engulfed it.The owner had seen plenty of people. The moment she saw Neil with his oversized sunglasses, she knew that he was not one to offend, so she quickly went up and asked with a smile, "Sir, here for tailored clothes?"She regretted it a little as soon as she spoke.The man was dressed so elegantly. It was obvious he came from a rich family. There would be people who went to his doorstep particularly to measure him and customize his clothes, so how could he possibly be visiting her shop for business?In addition, the man seemed to be after Aurelia since he stepped inside… even though Aurelia's back was against him.The owner pursed her lips. Did the girl already have a boyfriend, and was her boyfrie
Aurelia looked at him dazedly like a frightened bunny. A moment later, she suddenly said, "Uncle, I think you're wrong…""Hmm?"The bunny spoke with coherence."First, you said that you're close to the Southeast Aciatic royals, so it's not hard to get me an immigration status… How did it become getting me here 'through so much effort'?"Next, how do you know I'm scraping by? I'm enrolling in a famous university, so I'm working to save up and studying. They're not contradictory!"And…" Aurelia's voice went softer. "You're the one who said you wouldn't be bothered with me after we arrived in Southeast Aciatic."Neil stared at her for over ten seconds."Hah! Haha!"You brat!" he suddenly shouted. "Your Acian's improved so much that you're arguing with me!?"Aurelia shrank timidly, no longer having space to move back, when she was forced to the side of the table by the corner of the wall.Neil took several deep breaths to bury that active volcano in his heart. After thinking abou
Neil froze, and his expression changed almost swiftly.Measuring the crotch length of the pants?Right, the brand designers would measure him everywhere for the most accurate measurements when they came to take his measurements for customized clothing in the past too.Those designers were men, though! Now that it was Aurelia doing it…Neil's heart dropped, and he glared at her suddenly. There was faint anger in his deep voice."Do you measure the other customers like this too?""…”"You measure the crotch length for other men!?"Neil's shout nearly flipped the roof off.Aurelia closed her eyes before opening them slowly. It took everything in her to force the corners of her lips into a smile."No…"Neil paused."Uncle, I didn't," Aurelia explained softly. "I-I'm only in charge of embroidery and tailoring now. I don't measure customers…"Y-You're the first one."Neil seemed to feel better upon hearing what she said. He was her first man."Cough." He cleared his throat and
At that moment, Neil and Aurelia had put on the traditional wedding attire from Southeast Aciatic. They stood before the mirror.The man was tall and handsome, while the lady was petite and beautiful.The clothes felt as if they were tailor-made for them. They fitted them perfectly.It was Aurelia's first time wearing this, and her smile was extraordinarily bright.In reality, as long as she was standing next to Neil, she would be happy.Meanwhile, Neil was secretly checking her out from the mirror. His stare did not move for even a second.Aurelia was excited, "Uncle, am I pretty?"He showed a sincere smile that came from the bottom of his heart and said, "Yes.""Prettier than my nomadic attire?""Yes."That was the truth. He realized that the clothes from Southeast Aciatic fit her.She was petite, similar to the size of the local girls.If not for her fair face and chestnut hair, one would really think that she was from Southeast Aciatic if they looked from her back.Nei
