"Good night, Sire, what are you doing in this dark garden alone with your handsome bodyguard?" jasson Verano grinned.
"Are you interrogating me now?"
"No, I'm just joking, please don't take it personally, where maybe you're doing something embarrassing with your lowly bodyguard while your fiance is amazing from looks and family status" ferderick's face frowned looking at Jasson.
Rubia stepped closer "Can you keep your tongue? Or should I burn it with this?" Rubia raised her hand and unleashed her magic power on the palm of her hand, as soon as Jasson's face paled, her mentality instantly shriveled.
"I'm sorry I have to go, Sire" he started trying to escape.
"Wait!" he took a step and then stopped.
"What's up, Sire?" his forehead was sweating from the tension staring at Rubia's hand which still looked a bluish dense light that was still burning.
"I apologize to my bodyguard for lowering his pride!"
"But my status is him?"
"What's with your status?"
"No" Jasson immediately walked up to Ferderick, "I'm sorry sir, my jokes are overdone"
"How about Fer, are you gonna forgive him?"
"Have it been Your Majesty you do not need to prolong this matter" said Ferderick indifferently.
"How's Jasson, Ferderick seems so upset with you, what are you going to do to get an apology from him?"
Jasson began to clench his hands, he lowered his head before Ferderick "Please forgive me sir ferderick"
Ferderick immediately avoided "Alright, I've forgiven you"
"Thank you"
Rubia approached Jasson who was still kneeling "Good my sister, that's just a commendable attitude" Rubia stroked her blond hair, then whispered in Jasson's ear "You're the one who spread rumors about my relationship with my bodyguards? Do you think I don't know?" Jasson grew pale, his body trembling in fear, he remained downcast while Rubia and Ferderick left him.
Just a few steps Rubia again stopped because of the clapping of a person who emerged from the darkness in the garden, his face grimaced with pleasure when he looked at Rubia "Amelie, since when are you here?" jasson immediately woke up when he heard Amelie's name, his jaw hardened because the girl he wanted saw someone step on his pride, he went silent from there.
"I just turned around Your Majesty" Amelie replied with a smile.
"You alone? You must be lonely, right, you should come to me"
"Where might I dare to be in the limelight of His Majesty and you already know about my lackluster reputation right?"
"From now on you have to look good in the eyes of high society people to improve your image, hold it if you have to behave like that person, sooner or later you'll benefit from the nobles, do you understand?"
"Yes, I'll think about it first"
"Let's go back to the party hall" Amelie nodded.
Not yet at the party hall, Merge and Maria were looking for him because the emissary from the Vlair Empire wanted to talk about something, Rubia who was unwell left Amelie alone asking Axel to accompany her, despite a slight objection Axel still agreed to Rubia's wishes, after Rubia went Axel took Amelie to his private rest room.
The two of them sat facing each other while enjoying drinks and snacks, Amelie looked at Axel's face fixed while Axel was busy with his own thoughts, his face looked more grim. I don't know why Amelie arrived to feel sorry for the man in front of her.
"By the way, were you around the park?"
"Ahh, because I saw someone who has a posture like you standing a little long in the flower garden, so not you, sorry" he became unwell.
"No need to apologize, is there anything you heard there?"
"I-i-"
"Here you go, please don't tell anyone if there's anything you've heard there"
"Yes, Alright" he glanced at Axel's face with a heart.
"Why look at me with a face like that? Do you pity me?"
"Where possible, who would pity a shitty man like you" he hurriedly replied.
"Yes, you're more suited to behaving like that" he smiled faintly.
"You're not mad I said you're a bitch?"
"No, because only you say bad things to me, others always flatter me with a myriad of compliments in front of me until I get bored, he said, especially today after Her Highness the Princess officially became the Emperor, they thought I was the closest person to Her Majesty so they kept trying to look good in front of me, I was tired of this kind of thing" he smiled wryly.
"Would you like to hear my advice?" he said with a smile, wanting to try to comfort the man who looked glum.
"Say"
"Just do the things that make you happy"
"Your thinking is very simple, do you like your free life?"
Amelie thought for a moment "Okay, there's no pleasure, but I feel comfortable" she smiled cheerfully again.
It feels like today Axel has received positive energy from Amelie, in front of him Axel feels like himself. Every day he had to show a friendly and polite attitude to everyone because of their families who already had such an image, until he did not realize what he wanted and what he liked, until he did not realize, since childhood he was only directed to be worthy of accompanying Rubia who was a future Emperor candidate, so he loved Rubia, therefore, he just tried to follow the flow of his life straight.But now he feels tired and uncomfortable with many things.
"Thank you" Axel said with a gentle look in his eyes. Krauk krauk, Amelie smiled, she was busy enjoying a sweet snack in front of her.

Jasson returned home to the Duke's residence with a very upset face, he entered his father's work room, he saw his father who was sitting in his work chair. He slammed the door and sat in front of the Duke.
"I'm so upset Dad, Rubia is really arrogant and arrogant, do you know what she did to me earlier? he made me kneel before his bodyguard and was forced to apologize, I was made to lose my pride in front of Amelie's father, kill Rubia right now!" he chanted with a stomp of his feet. He glanced at the face of his father who just silently did not pay attention to his complaint "Did you hear me? why do you keep quiet, do you also underestimate me like Rubia!!!" he shouted loudly.
The Duke glanced at his face, then walked up to him, duke's ears heard a whisper that went on continuously "Kill him, kill whoever is blocking and bothering you, kill kill kill!" The Duke drew closer to Jasson with a terrible look, he gripped his own son's neck.
"What did dad do? are you going to kill me?" his neck further choked "Arrgggghhh" he held the Duke's hand, then the Duke threw it towards the door, Jasson was so frightened, he escaped from the room and locked himself in his room.
"Haahh hahhh what was that father possessed?" he murmured while sitting with trembling.
