Let Me serve you, Prince!
Prince | Chapter 16
The prince came to see the King according to the instructions he got. The man sat in front of the father with a calm face and seemed to know nothing.
“Your Highness, what's calling me?” asked Prince Erland as soon as he sat down before his father.
“Prince Erland. Why was Anne replaced with another servant? Wasn't she the most loyal servant the late Queen trusted so much?”
The King's question made the Prince tense up, then slightly lowered his head accompanied by a heavy sigh. Although he had prepared the most appropriate answer, but still he had to pretend to be shocked so that the King did not know that he already knew secretly his father was investigating his palace.
“Dad,” says Prince limply. “Anne doesn't respect me anymore, Dad. He felt he could manage me because he was the trusted servant of his late mother. Anne's got a big head. So, I can't use it anymore!” obviously the prince meant it.
Prince Erland was smart enough to fool his father. He had already prepared answers and excuses strong enough to defend himself.
“Didn't my own father say that I should surround myself with people I can trust to support my position? Then, why would I let Anne manage me so well?”
The king was shocked to hear the reply of Prince Erland. For some reason, the King felt bad in his heart.
The smile on the Prince's face instantly looked sinister. However, the next second, the dark aura disappeared like it had never existed at all.
Because Prince Erland's alibi was strong enough, in the end the King could only trust Prince Erland and free him to return to the Prince's palace.
“Alright, you can come back!” the King's Word.
The prince returned to his palace. Then, it was not long before the King called back the butler to meet him.
Very swiftly, Butler went to the King to get his next order.
“Find out Anne's whereabouts! And find out also why Anne was fired by the Prince!” the king was still not satisfied with Prince Erland's reply.
“Good, Sire! I myself will come to the parents' house Chief Maid Anne,” Butler replied obediently.
The King's feelings and thoughts still could not calm down, even though Prince Erland had already explained a reasonable reason.
After getting an order from the King, the Chief Servant immediately went to Anne's residence. Anne was not at home.
“Anne has indeed been sacked by Her Royal Highness the Prince, because we are afraid to bear the shame in front of other nobles, we propose that Anne take a vacation to our hometown until Anne calms down,” was obviously Anne's parents as soon as Butler asked about their daughter's whereabouts.
Butler let out a rough breath and closed his eyes. He had to get a more detailed answer before returning to the palace.
The faces of Anne's parents were immediately bowed. Butler thought they were embarrassed or afraid of something.
“Anne ... Anne had already dared to set-up the Prince of Erland. Anne felt she was a confidant of the late Queen who became the successor of the late Queen herself. She counsels the Prince like a mother, and His Highness the Prince doesn't like that.”
Butler understood the answer given by Anne's parents. He bids her return to the palace after being satisfied with Anne's parents' answers.
As soon as the King's butler left Anne's parents' house, a shadow guard leader wearing a mask and all-black clothes appeared. Before the butler came, the bodyguard was already inside the Anne family residence, without the butler noticing.
The head of the shadow guard had already threatened them with the illegal business they had done. In the end, Anne's parents could only lie about her daughter as the shadow bodyguards had doctored her.
The king also received a report from his butler who said that Anne was indeed fired and is currently on vacation in her hometown to hide from embarrassment. The butler also explained to the King the reason for Prince Erland to the heart of firing Anne.
Apparently, the answer the butler gave was exactly the same as the Prince's answer. The king ended his suspicions and tried to dispel his thoughts that might have been too excessive about Prince Erland.

Prince Erland called Alice to meet in the garden some distance from the servants and palace guards. Together with his other aides, the Prince invited his lover to pick roses that flourished there.
The rose was once the beloved plant of the late Queen, and the Prince occasionally visited her while longing for her mother.
“Alice, try you hold this!” said Prince Erland while handing over a red rose that looked very beautiful.
Alice frowned, but did not dare to refute at all. Then, obediently he held the rose.
Prince Erland photographed Alice holding a rose with her camera phone. Then, he showed the camera shots to Alice.
“Look! This is a picture of two of the most beautiful things in the world. You, and this rose!”
