Victoria sneered and said strangely, “Alexander… you swing that way?"Alexander balled up his fists. His gaze scared Victoria. As his elder sister, she had never seen a cutting gaze like this from her usual mild-mannered brother. She could not help stepping back, but she kept up the authority of a princess.“You… What are you going to do?”“Sister, why are you so nervous?” Alexander smirked. “You were the one being aggressive just now. I haven’t said anything!”Victoria pursed her lips and stayed silent.“I have to remind you, though.” Alexander looked at her. “You let Allegra bully Cordelia.”“Nonsense!”“Never mind, you won’t admit it.” Alexander shrugged nonchalantly. “You’ve got to know that there’s no fool in this world. Allegra’s willing to be used not because she’s close to you but because she wants something more from you!“And Cordelia…" He sighed. "Don’t think she’s a pushover. Her first 20 years were really spent in Jangasas, and her life was horrible, but she’s no

Cordelia was rendered speechless. "I said us!"Not just to me and you. He's also nice to Neil and even Aurelia!"Before I got to know him, I thought that all the royals were high and mighty. Alexander changed my view. He's down to earth."Darling, why do you think that's the case?"Why? His love for a person extended to people around that person!Alexander was only looking out for the group around Cordelia because of her! Hah, an unexpected romantic!Zephyr took a deep breath. His fingers on the cutlery clenched, his knuckles turning white. There was no change in his expression, though, only rolling currents underneath his calm eyes."Maybe he wants to get the Irwins on his side." He smiled. "The Irwins are significant in Southeast Aciatic and are relatives to the Harrises. Getting you on his side gives him a higher chance of inheriting the throne.""Then why does Victoria—""This is where Alexander's brilliant!" Zephyr looked aloof. "Victoria's arrogant and domineering, but h

"That's impossible!" Neil said without any hesitation.He looked at Victoria coldly as if his gaze could cut.Victoria's smile was unfazed. This was the effect she wanted. The angrier Neil was, it proved that the more he would not trust Aurelia. This way, she would be able to come in between them."Neil, our uncle has taught us that we can't judge a book by its cover since we were kids!" Victoria said softly, "You haven't spent much time with Ms. Chilton, and you got to know each other in Chaiseland. How could you be so sure?"Besides, even if she does end up together with the owner's son, it's her private life. You have no right to stop her."Neil turned away, looking annoyed.Victoria continued. "Neil, we aren't promised to each other, but my uncle has repeatedly mentioned it to General Harris. He didn't agree to it but didn't reject it either!""What are you trying to say, Your Highness?""Don't worry." Victoria consoled, "If you don't want to be with me, I won't pester you

Aurelia's heart thumped wildly.She was going to have a nosebleed from how tantalizing everything was! She was probably not the only woman who could not handle it, right? If it were any other woman in this world, she was sure they would not be able to handle this either!What should she do now, though?The chest muscles, abs, and Adonis belt looked really good. Maybe she should give them a feel? She was already so close to them anyway. It would be a real waste not to take the advantage presented to her…Aurelia cast her eyes down and tried to calm her breathing. Her breaths only grew more urgent the more she wanted to calm them down, and her cheeks flushed redder the more she tried to compose herself…She could only screw her eyes shut.It was like two little monsters were fighting in her heart.Neil looked at the girl's mental struggle in amusement but suddenly felt a rush of heat in himself. He licked his lips and waited for her next move like a hunter waiting for his prey.J

'Shorten it?' Aurelia was at a loss.Neil went closer to her, his tone probing. "Didn't I tell you that the queen likes the clothes you made? If you get the chance to become an embroidery artist in the palace, you'll get citizenship very soon, and you can make more money."Would you want a chance like that?"Aurelia felt like this was a stroke of luck hitting her right in the face.However, in her 18 years of life that was neither too long nor too short, according to her experience gained from her hard days, the better something sounded, the more dangerous a trap it was.The queen must have met so many talented people. Why would she insist that an unknown person like her go into the palace as an embroidery artist? Moreover, the palace was not a fun place to be. She did not have to be there to know it. Even when she did not know what the royal family was like, she had watched dramas. Those were people who looked calm and unfazed, but the struggle for power was overwhelming.Aure
