“Please tell me what have I done, your highness.” When Princess Darya opened her eyes, Sir Theobarlt was already on his knees and begging for forgiveness. After she forgave him, he is now asking what he had done. “You have no need to be concerned, Captain Theo. I asked the owner to help me.” That was her reason and until now, he could not meet her eyes. Maybe because of embarrassment that he is a light drinker. Captain Theobarlt was just following her all day while they walked around Summeria. He would only speak when the Princess would talk to him and that he needs to respond. The Princess would just pick up random fruit, buy it, and eat it. Until then, Princess Darya comes inside a fancy restaurant. It was a bit surprising to see a fancy restaurant in a faraway town. He just followed where the Princess went and did as he was told. When the Princess sat in a spot, she asked him to sit across from her. So then they were asked what they were going to eat and it was ser
It was a meeting with the nobles again. And again, her grandfather, the Emperor, asked her to present in the meeting. It was about the upcoming hunting competition that will be held in the Dukedom’s estate, as usual. As they talked about it and assigned everyone’s task, Princess Darya suddenly raised her hand to speak. “Excuse my bold request but may I join the hunting competition?” There was a long silence there until then everybody reacted one at a time, making the meeting noisy. “How could a princess join…” “Your highness, you are too young…” “We should make a rule for this…” So then the Emperor cleared his throat, silencing everyone. He then turned his gaze to Princess Darya. Since he is close to her, he reached his hand to tap her head. “My grandchild, do you know that you are fourteen years old?” Her jaw dropped as she remembered that she is actually a teen-ager. She also realized that she was actually seventeen years old when she joined the hunt
Because of what happened during the recent meeting of the nobles, Princess Darya had become the talk of the social circle of the noblewomen. She got many invites to tea parties and many letters from noblewomen the same age as her. However, as she read all the letters with the same purposes, she did reply to every letter but she had rejected them all. She might have debuted in the social circle but it was six years ago. Except for the high ranking nobles, no one could remember exactly what she looks like. It is because she is focusing on discussing her plan to Captain Billion’s team. She was assigned to organize the hunting competition with the assistance of the knights and Marquis Hainey. For a whole week, she discussed and assigned all tasks as she inspected all the materials and tools to be used. She also selected people who are going to work with her with thorough research and investigation. After that week, it did not end there as she has other projects to build. Ho
Esteban asked Princess Darya if he could offer help to her task for the upcoming hunting competition, but she respectfully declined him. Esteban is now thinking deeply, inside his room, he is intently looking at the newspaper where Princess Darya’s portrait was printed. The news was about the Princess’ plan on building two orphanages in the city as well as a school and public hospitals. He was mesmerized by how Princess Darya works as a Princess, like she is meant to do things for the Empire. It is just like what he perceived from his dream that Princess Darya will become the next Emperor.Now, his problem has arisen and it is that man who would always lower his head in front of Princess Darya but would always look at her when she is not in front of him. It started when he had the glimpse of the future. He is very sure that Princess Darya will love him and will be infatuated and attracted to him but… who the hell was that man? He was never seen in his dream and Princess Darya never de
An hour has passed and Captain Theobarlt is still standing in front of the door of the First Princess’ room. He was in doubt whether to knock now or later as the Princess did not specify a specific time he would make his report. What is even troubling him is that the First Princess maids and even Alluka were sent to the Princess’ palace grounds so he could come alone to the next floor where her room is located.He admits that he is nervous of meeting the First Princess in such a private way for the first time. And how should the people react if they heard that the Princess called him in her chambers at night? Wouldn’t he anger the heir of the Garrett family, the Princess’ lover?He raised his hand to knock but it seems like his hands could not make it. However, the door suddenly opens and his eyes widened upon meeting the Princess’ morganite eyes. “You have been there for an hour.”He was lost in thought for a second because her beauty is not enough for the word ‘beautiful’ as it is
The banquet to be held in Marquis’ Hainey was grand and well-prepared. It is because this is the first hunting competition that was organized by the First Princess and luckily, there were no casualties that had happened. It was the Marquis’ first time to spend a lot of money to not disappoint the First Princess.The banquet began with the musician’s performance. As the nobles started getting inside, enjoying the performance and dancing with their music, the attendants started distributing the drinks as the maids started serving luxurious foods that are new to the noble’s eyes. The curious nobles inquired about the foods and Marchioness Hainey excitedly discussed it with them. It was thanks to the idea of Princess Darya that the Marchioness had the courage to present the dishes she had created herself. Now she can enjoy her hobby of creating new dishes and nobles have recognized her delicious foods. Meanwhile, Esteban was too early to the party and he is getting irritated that Princes
As Esteban put his hand to her slender waist, he pulled her closer to his chest as he started leading the dance. His heart was melting by just thinking about dancing with the Princess in front of Captain Theobarlt. It felt so good that he does not want to stop dancing with her while they are being watched by everybody as they are seen to be perfect for each other.When he started turning and moving to another place, Esteban’s eyes met Captain Theobarlt who’s standing beside the Princess’ seat. He could not hide the triumph on his face while seeing the sourness in Captain Theobarlt’s face. He pulled Princess Darya closer as he smelled her beautiful fragrant hair. He cannot get enough. He wants to cage her in his arms and keep her by himself. He was about to lean closer to her to kiss her lips but she looked away, making him kiss her cheek instead. “How does it feel to become a Duke, Esteban?” Princess Darya started to ask, to divert Esteban’s attention and stop clinging unto her.“I a
Duke Esteban could not sleep the whole night while thinking about the sudden rejection of Princess Darya. He is certain that he got her on his side but she suddenly changed when ‘that’ man appeared nowhere! He dropped himself on his bed after messing up his room due to his rage. If it was not because of the First Princess earlier, he might have done something awful in front of the nobles. Since when did he start losing his temper?The dream, it started because of that dream! He thought that it was real but maybe the gods are deceiving him!“We are not deceiving you, human.”Esteban was alerted upon hearing a strange voice nowhere. He got up from lying as he looked around his dark room. “Who are you?” He made sure that no one is around his room. He even sent his butler away.“You should be thankful that I have shown you a glimpse of the supposed future.”“Who are you?! Show up!” He exclaimed.“No. I am just somewhere in your room. You will never see me.”He flinched and stopped lookin
