Rosalia still had a lot to pull under her sleeves, and Louie who doesn't have any clue stayed quiet and kept avoiding the gaze of Prince Russel.
"So Princess Lianne, how were you able to meet with his highness? I am quite curious." She began to talk to Louie in a friendly manner."O-Oh that…" he became nervouse because he doesn't know what to answer. He only met the Prince during the engagement ceremony, and the real Lianne doesn't really talk to him about the Prince that much.When the Prince noticed Louie's behavior, he was the one to answer Lady Rosalia. "I guess she was too shy to answer, but I remember the day I first saw her. It was love at first sight. Lady Lianne have such beauty to behold so I knew that I must have her before anyone else can interfere."Lady Rosalia's plan backfired when the Prince answered that way. It's as if his answer stabbed her heart multiple times. "…t-then your highness, what about me?" She asked without thinking.It hasn't been long since the Crown Prince visited the Lilac Palace, and again, he stands infront of Louie again saying it's a fated coincidence to encounter him again. "To keep running to you within this palace, feels like we're quite fated to often see each other.""Greetings, Crown Prince Roderick." Louie quickly greeted. He then again felt the uneasiness with the Crown Prince around. He just came from the dining room to eat lunch and he was unfortunate to suddenly meet the Crown Prince."May I know where you're headed? I'll escort the Princess since I have the time." He offered."T-There's no need for that, your highness. You came here for Prince Russel, right? You should prioritize way more important matters right now.""Hm? I believe that the Princess is more important than anything else." The Crown Prince smiles and holds Louie's hands, "So tell me, where are you going?" He suddenly dropped the formality."E-Erm, I-I was just going
"So, have you come to a real decision now?" Harrold wanted to make sure that Louie agrees to this, it would be much more easier for a plan to be executed with a cooperative person involved."I'm... still not completely sure about it. I'm owned by Prince Russel and to do be a part of this plan can cost me my life, sir Harrold." Louie was too afraid to do something against the third Prince. He may hate him, but all he can ever do is to fear that monstrous man."Then do you insist living a pitiful life under that bastard?" Harrold no longer hold himself back from talking awfully about the Prince, and Louie panicked. "S-Sir Harrold! People might hear and report about you talking like that." He warned."You think people would actually report something like this to that bastard? Everyone here practically hates him. So your worries are insignificant.""Still... what if his highness were to pass and hear you?—""Don't change the subject, sir Loui
The agreement was to celebrate the engagement ceremony at the Ronnenburgh's residence. Many noble from different factions were invited to witness the relationship of the third Prince and the only daughter of the Grand Duke to become official.There are some who are in favor to their relationship that can benefit them, and some are against the relationship because it negatively affect their goals and influences. Lianne Ronnenburgh and the third Prince, Russel Heilsonne's relationship will truly have a big impact on all nobles."…I just don't understand, how will someone's relationship affect a lot of other people? Can't they just mind their own business?" Said Louie Ronnenburgh, the third son of the Grand Duke and twin brother of Lianne Ronnenburgh."You clearly don't understand how politics works, so stick your nose out of it. Just enjoy the food and the ball or something." Said coldly by the first son of the Grand Duke, Leandro Ronnenburgh I. He is too busy to deal
Louie never dreamt of this day to happen."Corset!! Corset, too tight!!" "That's how it is, sir Louie—I mean, Lady Lianne.""This is killing me!" He is endlessly swearing at his brother in the back of his mind. It was such a wild idea to make a man pretend to be a woman, even worse is that he have to deal with another man while pretending to be the other gender.Thus, he conclude that his brother sees him as a man with no dignity. "What a callous brother you are, Leandro." He cried to himself."Now, now Sir Louie—I mean, Lady Lianne! We need to place this wig on top of your head.""Fine, get on with it." And as the maid placed the wig on Louie's head, they were all able to see his identical appearance from his twin sister Lianne. They were all in awe seeing him dressed up beautifully."It's like I'm seeing the real Lady Lianne!" All of the maids began to sing praises and admire Louie's appearance some more until he stopped them."Oh please! We h
Louie has been taken away by Lianne's fiancè when they met. Though instead of being relieved of escaping from the ladies, he was even more intense with the Prince iby his side.'How does Lianne interact with this person? Are they even close? What should I do?!' There was a lot in his mind until the Prince spoke to him. "I sincerely apologize for dragging you away like that, Lady Lianne. I grew worried when I saw you having a hard time dealing with the other noble ladies.""I-It's certainly fine, your highness. I'm very greatful for what you have done.""Lady Lianne…" the Prince suddenly looked taken aback.Louie became nervous with that reaction, did he said something offensive to the Prince? His skin turned paler than it already was. "…usually, you don't talk whenever I speak to you. I guess we're making progress with our relationship." He gave him a little smile.'Such a kind gentleman!' Louie thought, and after learning how his sister treats this great pe
"…my engagement with Duke Ronnenberg's daughter has become official, father." The third Prince told the Emperor."I see. It is a great achievement to finally settle a connection with the Ronnenberg duchy. They have long maintained a neutral relationship with everyone, but it's good that they decided to take our side." Said the Emperor.Russel, the third Prince, expected more praise from the Emperor but that was all that was given to him. He was disappointed. 'Shouldn't establishing a connection with the Ronnenberg Family can help me take the title of crown Prince?!' He was gritting his teeth at the back of his mind."Though it's about time they take the right side. It is only rumored, but I also theorized that it was bound to happen soon." The Emperor suddenly mentioned. "Keeping their selfish neutrality in this generation for long will cost them to lose authority and influence. I was deeply troubled that one of the Empire's great duchy will lose its
It's been three days and there still no signs of Lianne, everyone in the Ronnenburgh family were starting to panic because the Prince is a few days away to discuss the other details of the marriage. "That ungreatful child, she will be the death of me!!" The Duke claimed, he was greatly anxious of the situation."Please remain calm, Father. We still have a few days before the Prince comes back to our residence." Leandro patted the back of his father, but he was just as anxious as he is, but he maintained a very calm appearance."Remain calm?! HOW THE HELL CAN I STAY CALM WITH THAT CHILD MISSING! SHE IS THE KEY FOR THE SUCCESS OF HOUSE RONNENBURGH, AND SHE IS MISSING! WHAT MUST WE DO WHEN THE PRINCE RETURNS?!"Leandro weighed his hands on his father's shoulders as he tried to assure him. "We got Louie, Father. Please don't panic too much. It is just a discussion about the plans for the marriage. It will still take a few months for the grand event to actually
The day that the Prince is expected to arrive at the Ronnenburgh's residence has come.Louie was all dolled up for this, and it impressed Leandro how he was fooled into thinking that it was the actual Lianne. "Is that really you, Lianne? Did you really came back?"His hopes crumbled down like a fragile cookie when Louie had to say it was him. "No, unfortunately. This is Louie, brother.""Ah, right. It's hard to tell the difference between identical twins after all.""Brother, I am a guy. Lianne and I have a very huge difference.""…" Leandro have lost his interest in conversing with his little brother when he had sight of the third Prince. He stands up along with Louie to greet his highness. "Welcome back to our residence, Prince Russel.""Hmm, is the Duke late? Where is he?""The Duke, unfortunately, has caught fever and common cold. So I shall temporarily stand in the place of my father to discuss about the plans for y
