"Welcome, Your Royal Highness," Albert greeted me brightly. "His Majesty is waiting for you in his office." "Okay. Thanks, Sir Albert," I said cheerfully, matching the man's energy. Then, I turned to Osiris behind me. There were also several maids and knights. "Just wait here. I want to talk alone with His Majesty." All the servants bowed to me. It seemed like I earned a new respect from the palace worker after my successful debut in society.  "As you wish, Your Royal Highness." I just smiled at them before I entered the emperor's office. Emperor Frederick's office was as bland and as boring as his personality. Of course, it still looked luxurious. But

"It's the first princess. Open the gate," one of the guard knights instructed.  It was the same with the last gate. The iron gate to the royal cemetery that never budges under the name of the emperor was opened.  I stepped into the cemetery with Osiris and Elle who were following close behind me. Osiris was holding three bouquets of lilac flowers in both hands. According to Elle, it was Empress Meredith's favorite flower. Come to think of it, after coming here, I've never visited Bella's mother's grave even once.  But after witnessing the last vision from Bella's diary, I just had this sudden urge to come here. Well, I should've paid my respect sooner. I didn't know why it took me this long to come he

"Can you say that again? I think I misheard something," I asked in surprise. "You wanted to give me your own personal guard just to escort me to the battlefield? Are you sure you're not sick, Your Majesty?" "You're an imperial princess," Emperor Frederick said. "Since your life is at risk while assisting the war, you should at least bring that much escort." Osiris, who was sitting beside me, almost scowled upon hearing that. Recently he became more blunt and he expressed his feelings more freely. I guess I'm really rubbing off on him. The good thing was, he also started opening up and getting along with others too. "It's not because you're not adequate as a knight, Osiris," Sir Albert said to Osiris kindly.  Ah

It was only in the evening that I could finally take a rest. It was such an exhausting day. But honestly, it wasn't that bad since I was used to living with a more hectic schedule than this and with only a minimum amount of sleeping and eating anyway.  Alistair brought me to his barracks to rest. The barracks where Alistair stayed were located in the middle of the barracks. Although I thought his barrack would stand out for housing the crown prince, it was no different in size or shape from other barracks. The barracks were constructed with wooden pillars in all directions and poles in the middle to surround the tent. Standing close to the barrack, a soldier guarding the front lifted the tent to make it easier for two people to enter. It was warm in the barracks. The ir

Just as planned, Alistair and I would go to the local lord's territory today. I was dressed in the equestrian uniform that May and I picked yesterday, which consists of light cream pants, horseback boots, white shirt, and a blue vest. I also decided to put my hair up in a ponytail. May did a finishing touch by putting a black scarf adorned with amethyst gem that resembles the color of my eyes around my neck. "You're good to go, my lady." May grinned at me. "As expected, everything looks good on you, my lady." I looked at my appearance in the mirror and nodded with a satisfied face. It wasn't only Bella's face that was God-tier, but her body was also to die for. It was unfair.
