Suddenly Nobles

Return to Visit

"Lately you've been outside the palace too often."

"Hm."

"Without good care, you could be stuck in danger."

"Hm."

"I'm old, can't keep up with your activities that often suddenly disappear. My waist aches about it, Your Highness."

"Yes." Yeah."

Hector berdehem. This master really....

"Is there anything I can do?" connect the sixty-year-old while observing Lucas' work piling up. "This full day you don't move at all from the desk even skipping breakfast with other members of the royal family. Are you planning something?" he suspects.

"Ah, right. I need a little help from you, Hector."

"What help?" He allowed his glasses to be placed. Hector quickly forgot his suspicions just now and tried to focus on what Lucas was about to command.

"I heard the Lumiere Family added a new family member to their castle. Please find out who and where the new Lumiere family members came from." It pauses. "No, find out everything about that guy and tell me."

"You mean Lady Luvena?"

Lucas raised his eyebrows, "You know him?"

Hector, the old man nodded. "A few days ago while you were outside, the Lumiere Family and Lady Luvena came here to meet His Majesty the King's invitation." The man chuckled, "She's a pretty girl. It's a pity that you missed the opportunity yesterday to get to know him face to face."

Lucas smiled in anguish. Luvena is an attractive girl but Hector is wrong to say that Lucas missed the opportunity to get acquainted with the lady. They're close, it's just that the blonde girl doesn't know who Lucas really is.

"Good news, you can meet that Lady Luvena today, Your Highness."

"He's here?"

Hector nodded happily. "The Queen's Majesty specifically took her around the palace. In addition, His Majesty the King also seemed to be very fond of Lady Luvena. He's planning to invite a new lady to a chess match."

Lucas frowned, "Chess match?" mumbling wonder. Chess is not something women need to do. And usually, the game is only played by men in their spare time. With the position of a King, his father could never have free time. His father played chess with the lady from Lumiere. Both of those facts really left Lucas flabbergasted.

"His Majesty the King if you already like something, it will be difficult to divide the time." Lucas stood up after tidying his reading parchment to the corner of the table. "I'll be there to watch over them. Familiarity with foreigners is not at all the custom of the royal family," his alibi smoothly.

Hector, as someone more senior only the mangosteen agreed while stalling a wide smile. "Then you too. Do not get familiar with the stranger," he said jahil. "Especially if you put feelings. Because the royal family has to be careful in getting along, right."

Lucas looked at him sharply and was met with amused laughter by the old man.

"I know you wouldn't do that" Hector continued, wiping the corner of his eye that was dripping with water. "Lady Luvena will marry Prince Julius of Brodsway. Do you remember that deal? It's not funny if our kingdom is back in a fight with Brodsway just because you snatched up Prince Julius' bride-to-be."

Hector laughed again. The old man .. did not know at all that the contents of Lucas' heart now felt slapped by his words.

In reply before exiting his study, Lucas smiled faintly. "I know my limits, Hector."

"Good," the grizzled man replied before Lucas closed the door from the outside. Stepping past one pillar to another with a defiant gaze.

"I know my limits. And now, I'm going to go beyond it. Just look at."

...----------------...

Eve was now awkward in her seat. How not, the figure of Her Majesty the Queen was completely far from her expectations. The bright face looked at Eve enthusiastically, clearly visible from both of her green eyes like fresh grass. Eve was only twenty years old, adrift of a very distant age with her husband who even had his first son aged forty.

"My name is Ashley Roosevelt, you can call me Ashley!" revealed spirit.

"I'm Lady Luvena, Your Majesty. From the Lumiere family," said Eve trying to be friendly. Oh, come on, it's pretty hard to get along with someone who has the title of queen even though they're more suitable age to be peers. "Living in the palace makes me think you certainly never lack anything. As a friendship gift, I brought this."

Eve thrust a basket of dried biscuits covered in napkins at the top. Ashley stared at the basket with sparkling eyes, then immediately grabbed and tasted one of the cakes.

"Gosh, this is so good. Where did you buy it, lady?" said Ashley, getting excited.

"I-it .. I didn't buy it."

"Oh yeah?" He nodded in understanding. "Then, give my regards to the chef who made it. The creamy flavor in this cake ... is really amazing!"

Eve scratched her non-itchy nape. He muttered, "Actually the biscuits are my creations."

"What?!"

Eve lowered. Of course he'll be scolded. Lady should take care of herself, not cooking. As the number one woman in Sasania, Ashley had the right to scold her for violating one of the nobility's rules.

But the estimate was wrong,

"Looky! Then I want to learn from you too!"

"Eh?" Eve gawking. If the queen's attitude towards her was like this, it felt like Eve did not want to be too disinclined with her.

"Come, we have to borrow the palace kitchen and make something" he said passionately. In a hurry even her own dress has not been tidied up, Ashley grabs Eve's palm to realize her crazy desire, which is cooking in the kitchen.

But the queen's will must be swallowed up round and round when the figure who invited Eve to the palace appeared at the door with the servant carrying a set of chess games standing behind him.

"Queen, don't take her away." With a hand gesture, Hudson told his men to prepare for the chess game he was going to play with Eve. "I'm the one with the interest of my nephew. Give up a little."

"Just play chess, what's the importance?" replied Ashley fiercely.

"Cooking too. What's important? The waiter can do it for you, too" Hudson said.

"Your Majesty...,"

"What?!" Both of them were loud to the point that Eve swallowed her sentence again. My God, this couple why even argue!

Eve worried. What should he do, how to get these two important people back together, and most importantly ... is there any way that Eve can be free from this complicated situation?!

For the first time, Eve who usually often makes people have headaches, now feels it too.
