Changing destiny ' White Rose '
CHAPTER 11
After my father approved the addition of military learning for me, I also reworked my daily learning schedule with 3 days of economic and political learning with Mr. Louis and Albert, 2 Days of learning the strategy and tactics of the royal military with Captain Felix or King Damien himself if he is not busy, then 1 day to learn riding or archery in the morning and in the afternoon to practice dance classes with Lady Marie Antoinette and on weekends is my day off to rest in bed all day .
I began writing letters to Albert, Mr. Louis, and Lady Marie Antoinette about changes to my study schedule . Soon in a matter of hours news emerged of His Majesty King Damien preparing Princess Clea to become his successor spreading widely out of control . ' Father may not want to cover this news at all . He used himself as a shield to protect me ' I thought . I'll treat him better from now on .
This afternoon I did nothing, so I went to the greenhouse in the palace garden to pick some flowers I liked and put them together to give to the King and Queen . The flower arrangement looks messy because I've never arranged flowers before, ' I'll ask Lady Marie to teach me flower arranging too ' my mind while giving the messy flower to Alice and Chacha to hand over to the King and Queen . While King Damien who received a flower arrangement from his daughter did not mind how the shape just smiled while putting the flower in his vase workspace while muttering " The naughty girl knew behaving sweetly as well to her father "his murmur . On the other hand Queen Carissa who saw the messy flower arrangement smiled amusedly while ordering the maid to put her flowers in the bedside vase .
I who did nothing today was bored doing nothing so rolled around in bed all afternoon to fall asleep without realizing it . Deenna built me up to get ready in the afternoon for dinner together at the main palace . I woke up rubbing my eyes to help Alice and Chacha take a warm bath with beautiful rose petals . Then wearing a dress with Deenna and Blance, I turned my head and said to dress me up beautifully . Finally Blance and Deenna put on a white gown with a few jewels on her waist and curled the ends of my hair with a special scented gel plus a small diamond crown hairpin over my head and lastly a cape silver feather to dispel cold air . I looked in the mirror thinking 'This little girl is getting more beautiful every day '
I walked towards the main palace with my four personal servants, we arrived inside the dining hall with the King and Queen waiting for me . I ran up to them with a sweet smile, we were the graves of the night with a warm atmosphere . Finished dinner we chatted a few words and then returned to take care of each other's affairs, I walked along the hallway of the main palace . When passing through the large window facing the palace gate I stopped staring into the distance through the glass window, the servants who accompanied me also turned to look at my view .
" Daughter, is there something ?? " tanyanya was curious
" Have you never heard any news outside the palace ?? " you are ambiguous
" News ?? What does the Princess mean about the rumor ?? " ask Alice carefully
" What rumor do you mean ?? " much confused
Alice looks nervous about answering what . Blance and Chacha looked down, while Deenna and I were confused by their attitude .
" That...that rumor about the Princess as heir to the throne "his great-grandson is slow.
" Subjectly, the Princess do not listen to the fake news.it is just a rumor "said Deenna excited.
" Hahahaha, it's not really the news that I want to know, but forget it "I said with a laugh, then looked once again to the outside of the palace gate .
" After all it's not a nonsense rumor "my fleeting reply while passing left my astonished servants behind .
Deenna was wide-eyed while covering her mouth, Blance and Chacha froze in surprise, while Alice was shocked to the point of being stupid
" Mommy.no rumors. ja. so. so. "stutter and cover his mouth in surprise.

Outside the palace a few days ago .....
The commoners were busy gossiping about a beautiful noble girl dancing in the middle of the town square last night . The girl was clearly from among the rich nobles but somehow everyone who saw her would feel if the girl was different from the other nobles, the girl carried an aura of hospitality that no noble should have always been arrogant, haughty, and arbitrary . The beautiful girl danced freely like a fairy and attracted everyone's attention .
.
.
.
The Benedicte Imperial Academy ...
" Hey, did you hear that hot rumor ?? " says one of the students
" Of course ... she said there was a very beautiful noble girl dancing in the middle of the town square last night " replied someone who was in front of her
" Really ?? are you sure that's not the crap of a lowly folk ?? " ask one of the other students
" It's real !!! reportedly the beauty defeated Miss Cassiopeia .. " whispered the student who answered earlier.
" Oh !! miss Cassiopeia has proven her beauty among the nobility so how could anyone surpass her" said a girl who heard her
The male students who were gossiping earlier were silent when they heard the reasonable remark of the girl earlier .
" No, that's true . I saw it myself last night while walking through the square, the girl ... really very pretty " said softly a girl by the side.
The students who were gossiping with each other earlier immediately surrounded the last talking girl to find more complete information . The girl also told me everything she saw, from her luxurious appearance, black hair and beautiful face . After telling a long and wide story the girl suddenly sighed harshly .
" It's a pity that the girl was together with the poor noble "the girl's lips
" So it's true that the Colombain family knew him ?? " ask a curious student, the girl nods confirming .
" I saw her in the handcuff by Young Master Colombain" replied the girl
" Then we just ask the poor Young Master, who exactly is that mysterious girl ?? " said the girl who denied it
" Hah ... free of charge, there have been many other students who tried to ask but failed . The poor Young Master was really annoying, he always put on an indifferent face as if he did not care about any "nobble of one of the disciples
They finally started to talk again . Curtis walked through the corridor next to the class of students who were gossiping earlier, he heard it clearly . Since this morning there have been many people who suddenly approached him, at first he wondered why they invited him to speak first when usually Curtis was considered a poor noble who was always ridiculed and avoided . And when Curtis heard their intent to find out about Clea, Curtis immediately put on a cold look and passed away without saying a word .
On the other hand, the haughty miss of the Cassiopeia noble family upon hearing the rumors immediately her expression distorted to ugly . He was furious inwardly but still pretended to maintain his graceful demeanor in front, while behind him he tried to figure out who exactly the mysterious girl was . Albert who heard the rumors frowned in wonder, as soon as only a girl was worthy of the title ' like a fairy who captivated all who saw her ', the prettiest girl in the entire Benedicte Empire was Princess Clea . But it is very unlikely that the Princess appeared in the city square, Albert was a little curious to make her .
But soon the rumor was covered by a new rumor about the Crown Princess that quickly spread, attracted attention, and was talked about by all people . Soon everyone forgets the mysterious beautiful girl who is no longer heard the news .
The next day, I woke up early in the morning preparing to study daily with Mr. Louis . I used a simple comfortable dress, my hair was combed back to avoid the cuts on my temples . I used Albert's hairpin to catch his attention and then went downstairs for breakfast after I put on a blue cloth coat and hand warmed stove and went to my study . It's still too early, but it looks like Albert has come first like waiting for me . I sneered in my heart expecting 'surely he wanted to confirm the news straight from me 'my inner Albert saw my coming immediately stood up from his desk to greet me . I ran into her arms, hugged her tightly while burrowing my face . My servants immediately kept quiet and closed the door to let us, they were used to seeing my closeness to Albert .
" Do you miss me, so come early "question me while smiling .
" Why can the Princess be careless and injured like this ?? " tanyanya was worried
" I ran down the stairs and tripped on my own feet and then fell down, fortunately it wasn't high" I said explaining "Why are you mad at me ?? " my words are cramming
Albert seemed to smile at my behavior, then led me to sit in a chair while he leaned against my desk . Albert bowed then stroked my head while saying "How could I be angry at Princess ?? " his tanya teases me
" Kiss me then if you're not angry" I said with a sweet smile .
I had to seduce him so that he was sure that if I was interested in him, I wanted him to help me secure my successor position . Albert looked surprised to hear my words, then immediately smiled happily poke the tip of my nose while whispering "very naughty "
Albert lowered his head while holding my cheek and brought his face closer to kiss my forehead lightly avoiding the place where the blisters were . I looked up after he had distanced his face,
" Already ?? " many
Albert was a little confused but nodded his head to answer me .
" But not that kind of kiss I want, I want to be here "I said plainly pointing at my lips
Albert choked on his red face hearing my words .
" I. this.. cannot, da.. where did the Princess learn this from ?? " ask Albert nervously mixed with shame .
' Hah... You innocent teenager in a moment you will also want him stupid !! ' my mind is looking at Albert's behavior
" I saw the waiter do it yesterday in the kitchen" I said curiously
" Daughter should not discuss this to anyone" she advised me carefully
" Why ?? can't we do it ?? " i ask you the more it teases her
" This is only done by the Princess couple, later you will understand yourself "he said quickly and then change the topic "I heard from a reply letter from you Princess asked to study military ?? " ask Albert
' Look he's very good at changing topics that benefit him ' I thought . I immediately put on a sullen expression, then started complaining about the father telling me to study military and so on . Albert only listened attentively, he noticed every word that came out of my mouth but did not forget to calm down while stroking my hair .
" So, did you take the orders of His Majesty the King ?? " the question is getting more thorough
" I can't refuse instead "answer me while pouting looking annoyed
" Then do you know the meaning of studying the military of the Benedicte empire ?? " the tan is soft but has a double meaning .
I smiled in my heart and would answer his question when the door of the study room was knocked at a glance to the point where Albert was not happy that anyone was interrupting him but he immediately neutralized his expression back in a smile, then came Mr. Louis from behind the door . Mr. Louis looked towards our very close position but still looked flat as if he had seen nothing, he was a clever man and therefore he chose not to interfere in the affairs of the nobles .
Albert passed away towards his desk which was beside me, mr. Louis may also have been aware of the widespread news or he was ordered by King Damienso that he was increasingly keen to teach me politics in the palace . I heard as seriously as ever, Albert occasionally glanced at me noticing what he was thinking .
Since my study with Mr. Louis was reduced by 2 days then we had to add hours so that my learning was not left behind . Indeed, I am already included in the category of the smartest if placed in the royal academy, on average they would graduate at the age of 18 and the ones with good results would enter the government in the empire and the ones with good martial arts if they wanted to become knights they would undergo training hard for another 1 year and then get their positions according to his skills . Unlike me, I have to master everything before my debut in society if I want to be recognized as the Crown Princess, therefore I only have 2 more years to prepare myself to the maximum .
Now I, Albert, and Mr. Louis are enjoying our lunch break at my palace after this we will return to study in the study hall again . The dish this time as usual, pumpkin soup and meat steak with some grilled vegetables, I missed the greasy pork in the restaurant so I ate very little .
" Is the menu not to your taste ?? " ask Albert who saw me eating a little
" I'm just full, it's okay "I said with a smile "I'll tidy up my dress a little bit" I said excuse me and went to my bedroom .
Chacha and Blance were ready in the room to help me change dresses, I chose a dress that was light in wear because of the dry air in the study room because the fireplace kept burning . Blance also changed my hairdo into a small loop in the back to make me comfortable while studying during the day . After changing, I came down to join Mr. Louis and Albert who were conversing about the nobles while drinking milk tea . I came and sat down to join them in tea while listening to what was going on in social circles occasionally asking me things that interested me a lot, Albert has entered the socialite circle of nobility since a few months ago and he is becoming more and more famous also attracting attention in every presence .
After a cup of tea we returned to the study room to continue the study this morning . We continued to study until the afternoon Mr. Louis said enough, then he gave a farewell greeting to go back to the imperial academy . Albert stood up from his seat and walked towards me with a smile, I smiled back and hugged him around his waist .
" What's tired ?? " he asked gently while rubbing my hair
" Eemmm" I muttered nodding in her arms
" When did your training start ?? " ask slowly
" A weekend in the morning, why ?? " question while looking at it
" Can I accompany you ?? " tanya asked while smiling seductively
" Hehehe of course, I'd be very happy if you had "me said with a chuckle
After that Albert said goodbye back to his residence, I went back to my palace to clean up and soak in the hot water that Chacha and Blance had prepared . The hot water was so comfortable that I almost fell asleep, Chacha and Blance massaged my shoulders and hands a little while I was soaking . I smiled thanking them and then went to change clothes . After getting dressed I chose his sleep while waiting for dinner . I fell asleep without realizing it until Deenna built me up for dinner . I got up while yawning my way towards the dresser, Deenna and Alice came to help tidy up my appearance .
" Daughter, I heard from the palace soldiers that the great nobles made things a little difficult for His Majesty the King at the morning meeting" Deenna said softly
Now my personal servants already knew that it wasn't a false rumor, so they were also looking for news about the public's response and the nobles regarding the Crown Princess .
" Did they refuse ?? " let me slow down
" They have not refused directly because of the firm decision of His Majesty the King but they have not received it either" Deenna explained softly
" It's okay anyway it's just the beginning "I said calmly
Finish getting ready at I go to dinner with the King and Queen as always . We spoke with great pleasure, no one discussed the matter of meeting this morning .
The day of learning with Mr. Louis was held like yesterday . Albert also came early, now his attitude is getting softer and more attentive to me he also responds with intense physical contact that we do such as holding hands, hugging, hugging, or kiss the forehead and cheeks now he does not shy or shy . Albert seemed to be trying to lure me in as well, it seemed that after yesterday's morning meeting they had decided to take me to the noble side of Albelart so that the noble family of Cassiopeia would not become more powerful .
