All day Alice checked the reports related to Marianna City along with some of the amtenars who were her assistants in the Pearl Palace. He matched the results of the report with evidence submitted by other government departments. If you examine it from the Supervisory Hall report alone, there will definitely be no strangeness because all the reports are so neat that they are difficult to suspect.
"Are you tired, Princess?" a middle-aged woman asked subtly as she looked at Alice who blinked her eyes a few times while her hand stopped scratching the pen. Alice is exhausted. However, he was always taught to maintain his dignity. So, he tried hard against his drowsiness.
He looked at the middle-aged woman a moment ago and nodded. The woman suggested that Alice take a rest immediately, "Let us take care of the rest. We won't let you down, Princess."
"Thank you, Madam Selena. I will rest" Alice said with a faint smile on her face. The smile that made the famous people in the Pearl Palace denied the news of the bird that Alice was a cold princess. They knew that Alice had a heart as warm as her mother, the late Duchess Evianna.
"Begging Madam Anna to bring some of the files to the library when she comes later" Alice said before leaving. There are still many documents to check. He doesn't want to delay too long.
"Alright, Princess," Madam Selena saluted, "I'll deliver."
Alice walked alone to her library. Since it reopened two years ago, the Pearl Palace has become crowded. Amtenars who had previously worked for Duchess Evianna and Princess Elianna were recalled.
At first only a few of them were invited to teach Alice. However, with her talent, Alice was able to gain the trust of the king and recover some of the power of the Pearl Palace. Other Amtenars were re-recruited.
A year later, she was given the honoris cousa title by the Royal Academy and a month ago she became the crown princess. His work continues to grow day by day. Fortunately, he had passed the etiquette class that was usually accepted by nobles with the best predicate. So, he did not need to repeat it again while in the Pearl Palace.
"Safety over Crown Princess el Vierum," Anna gave her greeting as she walked into the library. Alice was in one corner of the library. He sat next to a window that led to the twin gardens at the Pearl Palace. His hands crossed on a pillow. His head was laid back on his hands while his eyes were closed.
Alice still looks beautiful when she falls asleep like that. Anna wanted to allow the little princess to rest even longer, but her sensitivity was too high until she woke up just by hearing Anna's approaching steps.
"Sorry for interrupting your rest, Princess," said Anna formally. It's working hours. So, he wouldn't just call his little miss that as usual.
"It's okay, Madam," Alice replied as she confirmed her sitting position, "I've had enough rest."
Anna placed the documents Alice requested on the table. He sighed in astonishment at the sight of Crown Princess el Vierum. He is the same workaholic with his brother or father.
"When you like to nag the prime minister for more rest" Anna commented as Alice began to pick up a document, "Why are you forcing yourself like this?"
"I just want to do my job well" Alice began to read the file in her hand. Anna smiled silently without commenting again. He has talked about that in the past. So, he had no intention of debating it any further.
Time goes by without feeling while working. In the afternoon, before the scholarly girls returned home from the Royal Academy, someone had arrived first to the Pearl Palace. He looked for the crown princess who would be with him. When he arrived at the library, he snuck in without greeting. It made Alice put on an annoyed face towards him.
"Alice, let's take a walk outside. There is a good place I want to show you," said the young man~no! The boy's call was better for that Crown Prince, that's how Alice thought.
"No way, I'm busy!" alice replied to the chairman then chased him away with a little courtesy, "I beg you to play outside."
"At first, why did you come without telling me this?" Alice unconsciously began to nag. The young man who was none other than Antonio was only able to stand still.
"Hi, what do you mean?" cut Antonio won't take it, "Don't I tell you? I don't like boring classes like that."
"If you can apply it properly, I will definitely not ask Her Majesty such a queen. Hence, I hope you understand."
"Alice, I have a name. Call me Antony or An" said Antonio, ignoring the ethics Alice was talking about. The Crown Princess el Vierum also snorted in annoyance.
"Ok-ok, An," said Alice resigned and also removed the formalities, "Please get out or help me work and don't fuss."
Anna observed the debate of the two sons and daughters of the kingdom. Of course he could not focus on the commotion that occurred. He saw Antonio who seemed to be weighing.
The young man then approached Alice until it made the girl's face even more upset. He intended to grab Alice's tiny hand and kiss her as the ethics he learned, but Alice avoided him first and smashed his questioner into Antonio's hand.
"What are you doing?" alice Protest. Antonio looked at her in wonder. He should have protested here. He acted according to ethics.
"Did the queen not tell you that I was following the custom of the Van Ryvat family?" alice asked and answered Antonio's astonished gaze. He began to talk again about ethics, "You may be my fiance, but there are still boundaries between us. Remember that! Don't touch women other than your family."
Alice mentions one by one women who belong to the family according to the teachings of Pure Monotheism Religion. Starting from the mother, daughter, sister, and aunt of the father and mother. Then the nieces and nephews of brothers and sisters, mothers and sisters, as well as in-laws and daughters-in-law.
Next Alice explained also the rules of the widow and stepson against the problem. If the widow has not been treated and divorced, then her daughter is also not a stepson.
"Do you understand?" alice asked, looking at Antonio, who was clearly saturated with short lectures. Alice and Antonio are cousins. So there is no prohibition for them to get engaged and get married. However, they still have a distance until they really say the wedding contract. Recalling the topic, Alice said, "You must not assemble two sisters in one marriage unless one of them has long died or been divorced."
"Enough! I see," Antonio cut off spontaneously, "I'll help you just work."
"really?" Alice looked at Antonio with a very clear doubt. Crown Prince El Vierum convinced Alice. He asked the girl not to underestimate him.
"Ok," Alice gave a thick book to Antonio. Obviously, that's not the document he's working on. However, a history book that discusses the politics of the kingdom in the past.
"What'sthis? You're telling me to study?" Antonio did not accept it. He had been studying at the Royal Academy since this morning and was intending to ask his fiancee out on a date. Now, he was even told by his fiancee to return to study.
Anna looked at Antonio iba. Such was his fate that match with a workaholic girl. What a poor prince.
"That's because you have to be a wise king," Alice instead went back to nagging Antonio, "Learn it quietly so that you understand what you have to do in the future."
Antonio could only sigh. He took a seat in front of Alice and began to read. He hoped that the girl would soon be tired and would accept his travel invitation.
