"He's just gonna apologize after I get busy?" Alice frowned. A faint smile was painted on her beautiful face. The girl was still relieved.
He sits gracefully in his soft chair. The sleeping dress she wore was pink and floral. His long arms covered the entire body except the face, hands, and feet. I prefer a model like that.
"Are you going to accept it, Alice," Aristia who likes romantic things asked curiously. He has read many novels in Alice's library.
Most of the novels convey the customs of the Van Ryvat family in an implied manner. There are also some classic novels. However, Aristia has preferred the typical romance novels of the Van Ryvat Family since arriving at the Pearl Palace.
"Of course, I will leave the arrangement of her meeting schedule to Aunt Clara," Alice replied with a calm face. She's engaged, but there's no special feeling in her chest. It may not have been or just started to be embedded. For her, the engagement was a regular political engagement as was her obligation as a noble daughter.
"Do you always have Aunt Clara with you when you see that boy?" this time Rosemary asked. He prefers classic romance novels in the library, but the typical romance of the Van Ryvat family also catches his eye, "Isn't that a hassle? You have to be with your guardian if you want to meet your fiancee."
"I once had tea with him without aunt. Just twice. When it comes to guardians, it doesn't matter to me" Alice replied while still reading the letter she received. The writing on the letter was very bad. Alice was convinced that her fiance's writing wasn't that bad. Curly and somewhat difficult to read. Probably because it was written in a hurry. "I think that way more respect for women. Men will not be able to mess with him as it was in ancient times. A time when women are nothing more than things."
"Yes, I know the story," Aristia replied. The 14-year-old girl was referring to one of the novels she had read. The novel in which the female protagonist is very oppressed and contested by many men. In the end, the protagonist dies if the story does not end happily. "What a shameless man."
"You read stories like that?" Akilla looked at her friend strangely and in disbelief. I am not used to such a novel.
"My brother read it" said Aristia lightly. In fact, he did not really understand the meaning of the stories. "I didn't say anything after reading it."
"What message?" Mainne was curious because Aristia hung up her words. She began to be able to adapt among the elite after more than a month of living in the Pearl Palace like a noble princess.
"Don't be easily fooled by a handsome man with a sweet mouth," Aristia conveyed her sister's message in her own language style, "The men who only make promises and race are cowards. Better to find a firm and brave immediately come to propose to your wall, they are real men. If you don't like the look, just push it."
Silent silence was created after Aristia spoke a message at length. The scholarly girls looked into the sparkling eyes of the romance novel lover's girl. Alice even noticed him and left behind a letter that she had read a little more.
A moment later, Aristia's rant returned to the silence, "The engagement in the custom of the Van Ryvat family usually does not last long. In just a few months, they will get married. That's why, I'm surprised. Alice, is your engagement not too early? You haven't set a wedding date yet, have you?"
All eyes were staring at Alice this time. The dark blue-haired girl with reddish tipped was silent for a moment. He put down the letter he had finished reading and allowed the hair child to interfere with his comfort. Her half-woven hair was very charming and delicate to the eye.
"You insist on being queen?" The oldest Rosemary asked solemnly. The princesses in the Pearl Palace were indeed entitled to take the throne. However, if the graceful brunette girl became a princess, she would rather hand it over to the princes. The usurpation of the throne was very complicated~according to what he read from the history books.
"I hope that our relationship will not be cut off," On Alice's calm face, there was a trace of sadness and fear. "But if something bad happens and I have to compete with An, then I will never give up unless the boy deserves to be king."
"The bottom line is, you wouldn't be too ambitious if the prince deserved to be the heir to the throne" Akilla summed up, "All your efforts are for the sake of the Kingdom of el Vierum, right? How can you be that strong living being a princess. Ye know? Your attitude is not like a child your age."
"Do you hate him?" alice's question made Akilla speechless. He did not mean to offend his cousin. In his heart, guilt arose. He soon explains that there is no way he can hate Alice.
"Alice, I will support your every decision," Aria spoke for the first time. The silvery-haired quiet girl had a gentle and kind face. Although she looks weak, she is actually a strong girl and is good at riding and archery.
"Me too" Rosemary with a warm smile followed Aria. Akilla and Aristia both expressed their support. Lastly was Mainne who was anxious about his abilities. "I'll definitely follow you, Princess."
"Truly God is pleased," said Alice, ending the talk of the wise virgins. Anna and the Florentine scholar and several ladies-in-waiting went into their places and called to sleep.
As usual every night, Alice closed her eyes. While waiting for his soul to be brought to the subconscious, he gave thanks to God as much. Tonight, he has gained great loyalty from his friends. How could he possibly lie to her? Only kufr people don't know they're lucky.

"So, my dear An has decided to apologize," Queen Clara commented smilingly as she read the sheets of the letter she read. Alice sent her decision as well as a letter from Antonio to her aunt.
The paper that Antonio used was the paper that Mainne developed before going to the Pearl Palace. Meanwhile, Alice used more quality paper directly produced by the Pearl Palace-sponsored factory. Today, paper as good as it is is still a rare and luxurious item weighing how difficult it is to process the papermaking. Only the high and internal nobles of the Pearl Palace used it.
Queen Clara was happy to read it. Nah! In fact, he only liked Alice's neat writing. While the writing of the son is just like a dying worm. It's hard to read. Though he believes the quality of his son's writing is not that bad. Maybe he was nervous when he wrote it.
"Geez, but why is the girl still on her schedule," Queen Clara frowned as she read the documents of the little princess's schedule. "I had trouble adjusting. She's a really stubborn girl. Just like Elianna and Evianna."
Queen Clara was determined to advise her beloved niece at the next meeting. The case that befell the twin daughters should not befall him. Queen Clara would never allow that.
