"I'm afraid that I have to go first as I have another appointment that cannot be replaced. But don't worry, you will be accompanied by the servants to the room that has been provided. So, please enjoy your time at Haddad's Royal Palace, Lady Sasha.” Thebet lowered his gaze for a moment, before giving Fuschia a final friendly smile.
Fuschia also returned Thebet's greeting with a curtsied, then Thebet turned his back on her.
Fuschia was still pensive on the spot as she watched Thebet disappear into a corner of the building.
‘He’s gone.’ Fuschia breathed a sigh of relief as she stood in front of a huge and elegant-looking building.
She was mesmerized by what she witnessed. She remembered that she had entered a large building to escape the rain. But when she entered the building, she was greeted by the presence of another domed building that was no less majestic than the one she had seen when she entered with the carriage. So it can be
Dylan sighed for the umpteenth time in the last hour. His sigh sound was so heavy that it made people around him unable to help but be curious about what made him sigh so heavily. But because so far his performance as Princess Marya's special guard was not very good, as well as his tense relationship with Ashaf -- Princess Marya's other guards, he got reprimanded instead.“Tsk again, you act out in the presence of our princess. You should always be vigilant by putting Her Highness' safety first, instead of being fooled by other thoughts. So, cut that out, or I will sew your mouth." Ashaf scolds threateningly.Ashaf was patient enough with Dylan's behavior which did not reflect the behavior of a special guard for a member of the royal family. If Dylan was a fellow knight he had known for a long time during his service at the Palace, maybe Ashaf could find it easier to discipline him.But Dylan has a quite unique situation because Dylan occupies this positio
Maftah invited Dylan to sit with him and Princess Marya at one table in front of many other servants and guards. Even though he had refused, in the end, Dylan lost his voice and authority, so he sat between the two siblings.“Wow, you look nervous, Dylan. So unlike you. Did my charisma discourage you?” Maftah asked with that smug face of his.Dylan almost smirked and snickered at Maftah's question, but he held it back knowing that Maftah was the king of this place. He didn't want to create enemies just because of his lack of ethics.“Not because of you, but because of the princess.” Dylan chimed in.Both Maftah and Marya immediately turn to look at Dylan curiously."Me? Why me?” Marya was also surprised by Dylan's answer.“That's because...” Dylan trailed off his words, then opened his mouth again after a while.“Well, who wouldn't be nervous about sitting with two of the noblest people
"Hmm, maybe it has something to do with the rumors that are circulating right now, brother," Marya said, making the four men who were there immediately turn to her.Dylan's ears perk up when Marya mentioned something about Drachentia's Crown Prince. Even though he hated Hayden, he still needed to hear any information regarding the man in order to prepare a countermeasure. There's never anything wrong with setting up a plan b, especially against a lunatic like Hayden."What rumors?" asked Maftah.“Haven't you heard the rumors circulating, brother? Geez, I know you're an empirical person and don't believe in rumors, but sometimes you need to hear it if you're in that position.”"Ouch. That's a roundabout way to say that I'm incompetent as a king, huh?”“Brothers, it's not like that. I'm just saying that it's not wrong to hear 'mere' rumors."“Hohoho, of course, I know your good intentions. No need to scowl at me,
“Your Majesty, shouldn't you have an appointment with someone right now?”As Dylan threw the question, a gust of wind picked up enough to mess up everyone's hairdos in the garden. Marya rushed to protect her hair from the mess carried by the wind by pressing her head. Meanwhile, Thebet and Tarek used their bodies to protect Maftah from the next blow of the wind.“Actually, yeah. Haha, I kinda forgot that you knew about it, huh?”"So, why are you still here, Your Majesty?""Hey! Watch your mouth!” Tarek shouted at Dylan, who was acting haughty and defiant in front of a king.Hearing Tarek's shout, Marya immediately turned to Dylan. He didn't quite understand the context of their conversation just now. But he was sensitive enough to understand that right now there was a terrifying vibration emitting from two opposite sides, namely Dylan and Maftah.“Thebet, has that person arrived yet?” Maftah asked Th
I watched the two guards out of the corner of my eye. “Hmm, what if I find myself a maid to deliver my message?”"Sorry lady, but you can't leave this room.""What?"I catch them trying hard to stay friendly to me by suppressing their fake smiles as their eyes twitch in annoyance. I was able to capture it all in a short time because of my experience as a conscious of others' looks.“From the order that I received, you are not allowed to leave this place while waiting for His Majesty's presence. I hope you understand that.”"Even if it's just for a walk in the garden that I passed when I came in here?" I asked again."That's right, lady."“Haa, but why? I've been waiting here for a long time, and I'm bored. After all, Sir Thebet said himself that I could enjoy the views that were presented in this place. I want to get out!” I said firmly. With stomping on the floor, and sharp eyes like Angry Birds, I
Not only did he walk towards me with his arrogant steps. But how he started a conversation without apologizing to me first, made me annoyed."Let's talk business now." He said.'Tch, what business crap are you talking about?! Where's the king? Why are you here instead and talking nonsense now?’ I fired my question to him only internally.I looked at him coldly. I let out all my angry aura in the form of awkwardness by not responding to his words. I wonder what he will do when someone ignores him. Like how he ignored me.I need to show him that I'm not afraid to get my rights as a human being despite my status as a commoner. Now I'm not afraid of the consequences. Even if they were to punish me, I wouldn't just stand by and use all my magic to get out of this place.'I'm a wizard, anyway. I have the power they don't know of.'The look in my eyes didn't turn more welcome for quite a long time. Enough to infuriate him. But he also gave a
"What? You're the one who said that I'm not cultured. So now, can I go home?” I asked nonchalantly. My intonation sounds ridiculous, but I like it.Even if it didn't turn out as I had hoped; Sir Thebet would yell at me once again for my impudence. But instead, he flashes a thin smile.“Yes, you can. After you hear the order from His Majesty the King.”"What is it?" I gritted my teeth. Unknowingly, the word 'order' weakened my resolve to act crazy.“Lady Sasha from the Drachentia Kingdom, it is with His Majesty's kindness that he has given you a house, so he orders that from now onwards, you must severe your relationship with Lord Dylan.”“…What the hell?”It took a few seconds for me to digest the meaning of Sir Thebet's words just now. Even though I've been trying not to show the dynamics of emotion in my expression, that's not the case now. My flat expression melted as he spoke the last word
Knock. Knock. Knock. clack.Suddenly the big door opened sounded rash. Sir Thebet and I looked at the door at the same time. A guard half was running towards Sir Thebet. His expression looked so tense. His shoulders were stiff as if he was carrying a heavyweight."Sir Thebet, there's something..." the guard glanced at me, then he whispered something in Sir Thebet's ear. I think the information he brings is quite long."What?!" Sir Thebet gasped. His eyes narrowed, but the corners of his eyes were still conscious of my presence. That's why he suddenly cleared his throat, then told the guard to leave.Hmm, there must be something going on near His Majesty that he was immediately alerted to. What is it? Will it keep me in this room longer, or will it allow me to go home? Which will be the final decision?This is annoying because our conversation seems to be ending even though we haven't reached a decision yet. Oh well, from the start I didn't have a s
