ELIZABETH SWAN'S
Chapter 14 - The Princess
In the imperial halfway house of Alexandria in the western region.
Geck! Geck!
"Lake in!" sahut Sebastian who sits behind his desk while continuing to collide with his ink and pen.
Just as the secretary stepped foot into the room, she was immediately showered with questions from Sebastian.
"Today I just need to finish this report right, Anthony? After that I am free to go anywhere, right? Don't let you suddenly add new activities to my schedule today. Immediately prepare my chariot in 10 minutes, I will leave in a moment." Sebastian said as he continued to focus on the report he had to deposit with the Emperor when he returned to the eastern region tomorrow.
"Where are you going, Your Majesty?" ask Anthony.
"Romagne."
Anthony immediately knew what Sebastian was up to, "You want to go see Lady yesterday?"
"Elizabeth, her name is Elizabeth."
Anthony rolled both his eyes lazily, "Yes, I mean Lady Elizabeth. You want to see him, right?" ask Anthony again.
Sebastian who was still struggling with his pen was smiling, making Anthony goosebumps instantly. The man who never even smiled at the Emperor once, could have arched his lips just because of a Lady's name.
"It's good that you're sensitive as well." Sebastian replied with a smile still on his lips.
"Did you know if Lady Elizabeth is still in her Romag to this day? Like he hasn't, has he? Is it possible that he is still there and it has been almost a week since he arrived in his Romagnya?" anthony was at length.
Sebastian put down his pen, then looked at Anthony coldly.
"Why is that your business? Today you talk too much, Anthony."
Anthony shuddered in horror, his head automatically lowered. It's really scary if it's like that.
"What if I want to go home sooner? Meet or not, at least I've been trying to finish my job to get back there and see him. Quickly prepare the horse carriage!" let's Sebastian.
Anthony still lowered his head, "Sorry, Your Majesty. Can't, the Princess has been waiting for you in front since. That's why I came here, I'd like to tell you about his arrival."
Crack it!
The ink container that was near his hand was spilled, as it was accidentally nudged.
Anthony immediately scatter clean up the record of the report that was done by Sebastian with great difficulty so as not to be spilled ink.
Sebastian's countenance instantly turned sour, "What's the need, Princess came here again today?"
"He said he had prepared a tea with you in the royal garden. Because today is your last day here he wants to entertain you personally." said Anthony while covering the ink spilled on the table with paper so as not to dirty Sebastian's clothes.
He then rang a small bell to call the waiter in charge of cleaning this workspace.
Sebastian pulled both of his thick, caterpillar-like eyebrows together to almost become one, "Didn't he even follow me around the west for a week? Doesn't he get tired of sticking with me like this?" Sebastian sighed harshly, "Say that I am still completing the report notes for His Majesty." he said later.
"Then what's the response?"
"She said she'd wait until you finished recording her report."
Sebastian massaged his suddenly dizzy forehead as he exhaled violently, "If he wasn't a princess, I would have kicked him out right now. It was really troublesome, sticking to a man like this, using his position as the princess to get close to me. Doesn't he have that name of his pride? That woman should be the one pursued by men, not the other way around." Sebastian's cerocos relentlessly.
Anthony could only listen to the grievance that was strung into a rant while occasionally nodding, he did not dare to interrupt Sebastian who was upset.
...****************...
With a heavy heart Sebastian attended the invitation to drink tea of the princess from the kingdom in the western region.
Women like the princess are very disliked by Sebastian, his intentions and goals are easily read by Sebastian.
The princess asked all the servants who were there to leave, leaving only the two of them there.
The Princess poured the tea into Sebastian's cup, "This is my favorite tea, I really hope Your Majesty the Grand Duke likes her too." he said with a soft, sweet voice that seemed contrived.
Right now I really hope that if I was born a witch in order to eliminate this woman before me and replace her with Elizabeth.
"at.. Grand Duke's.. Why suddenly daydream? Don't you like the smell of the tea? I'll ask the waiter to serve another tea. What kind of tea do you like?" asked the Princess who kept looking at Sebastian with her sparkling eyes.
Sebastian is trying to stay as polite as possible, "No need, Princess. I just felt a little tired from going around the west." he said, then sipped his tea once.
"Tired? Why am I just the opposite? I actually feel very excited and happy because for these six days I can accompany His Royal Highness the Grand Duke around." concluded the Princess with a sweet smile that burst from her shiny lips due to makeup, "Isn't that like a date, Your Majesty?" coined.
Sebastian tightened his jaw, holding back the emotions that were about to rise to his crown.
A date? He said a date?
If there's a woman I'm dating, it must be Elizabeth, not a woman like you.
The man raised his lips in a forced manner, his stiff smile looking more like a grin than a smile.
"I'm on an errand from His Majesty, how could it be a date?" her elak.
The Princess chuckled, "Your Majesty, you are indeed as strong as the rumors suggest. But it's okay, I'm sure I'll make you a nice guy."
Fun you think is as annoying to me!
The naive Princess suddenly thought of an idea, "What if you stay here for a while longer? Let my father send a letter to His Majesty explaining that your business is constrained one thing or another and requires you to stay longer."
Sebastian was stunned for a moment, "Lying to His Majesty is a crime. I can't do that, so excuse me. It seems like I have to rest, my head is really light now" he said, standing up from his seat.
Without waiting for permission from the Princess, Sebastian left the place because he could not stand the childish behavior of the Princess.
