His expression turned blank and stiff, I know he's mad at something but I know I didn't say anything to offend him. And he always use this expression whenever he gets mad or frustrated. And as a childhood friend of him, I've seen that a lot of times."Why? Did I say something wrong?" He didn't say anything and instead,  he just stared at me. It's uncomfortable but what can I do? I don't want to lessen my survival rate and smack him And I also felt like he doesn't want to answer my question so I didn't ask anymore. I just focused mysef at the knights training at the center. They are swinging their swords repeatedly.I can tell how good they are even though I'm an amateur when it comes to handling swords. By just watching, it's obvious how much work they spend just to be able to do that easily. Naturally, swords are heavy so just by swinging it can injure someone if they aren't physically strong. That's why kids who wants to be

I woke up earlier than usual so that I can prepare myself. I took a bath with my lady in waiting's assistance and wore an appropriate clothes for my my training. I actually didn't had a lot of sleeps because I was too excited about it. Naturally, I studied some basics about how to control a spirit until late at night but unfortunately, I still can't do it but I think having a knowledge about it is good.I looked at the books on my table and an idea pop from my mind. 'I can read it there incase my dad is late'So I ordered my lady in waiting to pack it because I'll bring it with me to the training hall. After I sorted out everything, I went to the royal training hall. It is a training hall especially made for the emperor and everyone are forbidden to go there including me even though I'm a royal because it is the emperor's hall and no one can try to train there and if you do, it'll be considered as treason

"Greetings your highness, greetings sir Calix" As soon as we entered the waiting room, Madam Cecilia greeted usI also greeted her and smiled gracefully for formality.  I know I already mentioned this a lot of times but people here are really strict when it comes to empire's etiquette so I really have to be mindful of my action as a crown princess.That's why eversince I was a kid, I've been mastering every etiquettes inside the empire"Should we start by getting your highness's measure or will you choose a design for your gown first?" Madam Cecilia asked me respectfully after I sat comfortably at the couch"I'll choose a design for my gown first"He handed me a thick 'designer's book'. It is a compilation of work and designs of the owner. And I am very familiar with this because in modern days, it is called brochure. The only difference is the designer's book was made purely with designer's effort and skill in drawing every pages while brochu

Even after that, Calix's mood didn't get any better. He's still on his 'mad' phase and probably not on the mood to talk with us. His forehead was wrinkled and the aura that he's emitting is cold so I know he's on the verge of shouting againBut of course, I prioritized talking to Riley and Blythe. We need a lot of time to catch up with each other and I don't plan on wasting my time on appeasing Calix.They are my friends after allYes. They are really my friend."So how's your experience there?"  I sipped a tea and asked them how well they trained, how much they learned and how comfortable their life was at that place.that's the border of the empire so I know it's not that easy, I'm glad they endure it well"It was hard at first but I got used to it" Blythe said while smiling. She definitely enjoyed staying there which surprised me because she really despised staying at that place and she just went there for necessity and she's a lady

One Month Ago "Young Lord, the spy on the princess's palace is here to report something" I nodded at Jared who informed me of the servant's arrival."Let her in" He then bowed and went to the door of my office to inform the knight who are guarding from the outsideNot taking that much time, Jared came back with the servant.This servant is Lalaine's second lady in waiting. Aside from shes good at her work, it's also easier to get an important information from her. Her family is not poor in fact, she came from a count noble family so I suspected that she's working for me so that she could seduce me to get a proposal from me.Too bad, I don't plan on doing that and she's not even half of Lalaine's beauty"Report" without glancing at her, I spoke coldly"Yes, Young Lord,""A while ago, the princess had a conversation with three young knights to distinguish who are the one suitable to be her highness's partner at the
