Elena; Queen of Ardorarias

Part 22; Princess Arrietta's Family

A full day of work following the King, it could finally be perfectly closed by Elena at exactly five in the afternoon. The king who had already returned to his residence to the palace before lunch also sent a message to Elena. Elena was asked to return to the palace before dinner because she had to join the dinner with the royal family.

"Suddenly?" elena asked Farel who was sitting next to the driver.

"Yes, Princess Elena."

"Why always give impromptu information? And it's not like today I'm free to eat alone."

"Princess Arrietta asks to be reunited with you, Princess Elena."

"Daughter of Arrietta,"

Elena who had read the agricultural report given by the Governor immediately closed the map. He also stared at the car glass, watching the road that looks smooth even though people are working.

Princess Arrietta Leithova, she is a descendant of the previous King, the older sister of King Jeremy. Princess Arrietta is famous for being very kind and thoughtful. He even humbly accepted the fact that his younger brother was chosen to be the next King, and he still gave his blessing to his younger brother.

"Princess Arrietta is not your rival in the palace, maybe she will be one of the people who defend and help you when in the palace. But what you have to look out for is your husband and children. Moreover, his son was obsessed with getting the title of being the successor to the kingdom. Elena, stay alert to your surroundings."

Elena leaned her back on the sofa of the car. Close his eyes for a short break. Tonight will be a long night back, just like the previous nights, he will be late to rest. So, as long as he has time to rest, he will immediately use it.

The car carrying Elena and Farel arrived in front of the royal family residence. Elena went down and walked in, followed by Farel behind her. Arriving at her residence, Elena's servants immediately helped Elena to clean up.

It didn't take long for Elena to clean up, because she had been waiting in the dining room by the royal family. The light green dress she chose to accompany him to dinner together tonight. He will only eat together with the royal family, so he does not need to look excessive. After all, all he will meet is the family of his father's brother. If her mother is angry with her appearance, blame herself for not helping Elena in finding a dress.

After finishing tidying up, the door of the room in Elena's residence was opened. Elena took her foot to the room where the dinner was held. As always, Farel will always be ready to be behind Elena. Always on standby, knowing Elena needs something on her.

"Daughter Elena came into the room," one of the aides shouted.

All the servants and aides who were in the room immediately saluted as Elena stepped into the dinner room. The King, Queen and four others were on the dining table. Seeing Elena's arrival, everyone who was there except the King and Queen stood up and saluted.

Elena could see a fairly old woman with jet-black colored hair walking closer towards Elena. Even though she is old enough, she looks very beautiful and healthy. He paid tribute to Elena with the three people behind her.

"Greetings from me and my family, Princess Elena. I'm happy to finally meet you at my age."

Elena immediately returned the respect of the woman she knew was Princess Arrietta. His face is really like a betel in two, really similar to the King, only the King version male while he is the female version.

"Greetings to you, Princess Arrietta. It is an honor to see you soon. I'm sorry if I'm late tonight."

"No need to hesitate, Princess Elena. I understand that you have a lot of tasks to complete. I'm the one who should apologize for wanting to see you soon." Princess Arrietta took two steps before Elena, reaching for her nephew's palm, "May I hold you, Princess Elena?"

After getting permission from Elena, Princess Arrietta moves in to hug Elena. Elena could feel the sincere embrace of her aunt.

"I'm so happy for your life, Elena. I'm sorry if I can't help you get through this, and you have to separate yourself from your parents."

The words that came out of Princess Arrietta's mouth sounded very sincere. But wait, what does he mean. Why does Princess Arrietta seem to know about her life all along? Doesn't anyone else know that Elena is the daughter of King Ardorarias?

"Princess Arrietta we'd better have a chat over dinner" said the King, who broke the silence.

The King's invitation just made Princess Arrietta immediately release her embrace. She walked over and led Elena to her seat, after which she sat on the King's right side, followed by her husband and children beside her.

"Let's serve her dinner," muttered the King gesturing to the servants to serve dinner immediately.

Dinner was going well, no heavy chatter was thrown when they were having dinner together. Elena will only speak if she is spoken to, the rest are only her parents and aunt who talk to each other.

"Ohya Princess Elena, sorry for not formally introducing me, but let me introduce my family. Of course you already know me from the King and Queen, I am Arietta Leithova, the older brother of King Jeremy. Next to me is a husband I have great respect for after the King, Arnold Rusgavosa. And my two sons and daughters, James Rusgavosa and Barbara Rusgavosa. I hope to be able to get along and help each other what you need later, Princess Elena."

Elena gave her best smile to all of them present there. Deep down, Elena wished that they would all be kind to Elena. They were sisters to Elena, blood brothers. It would be great if they helped each other and were not troublesome.

"Daughter Elena, I heard that you used to work in a cement manufacturing company. Is that really so?" princess Arrietta asked on the sidelines for dinner.

"Yes, since I graduated from college I've been eyeing working at that company."

"really great. If only we had known each other before, maybe you would have met my husband often," said Princess Arrietta as she touched the palm of her husband, "It's true, baby?"

Elena's eyebrows slightly raised, she put down her spoon and fork and turned to look at Arnold. Arnold Rusgavosa looked a little nervous and tried to answer his wife's words.

"Yes, even though I no longer work there but I still often help employees under the Minister of Development. I helped them with the project and the cooperation with the top cement companies in our country." Arnold said as if he was proud of himself.

"Well, that's very interesting. Next time if there's time, I'd like to come visit my old office with you.Couldn't you, uncle?"

"Of course you can,"

The answer Elena wanted to hear so badly, and somehow it sounded so forced to say. I don't know what exactly Princess Arrietta meant to tell me about her husband's work. Whether just want to tell or want to tell explicitly. Elena will find out by herself later.
