"Ellise, do you know about your status?" ask Queen Olivia.
"Mom, of course I know. I am the current crown princess."
"Do you know the role of a crown princess? "
" As crown princess, as First Lady, I must help the prosperity of this kingdom, where the task I carry is to help you take care of the norms, customs and everything in this kingdom from within, from within, I also support my father and husband. "
"That means you understand, that I am the one you are going to help" Queen Olivia said trying to remind Ellise of their position.
"Mother, legally I have to help you, but it is also written that what you do is the truth. "
" Sassy! Do you want to say that all this time I've been doing wrong on my duty? " said Queen Olivia angry.
" Mom, there is nothing in my sentence that you make mistakes in your duties. I'm just saying that I'll help you if I feel it's true. "
"Who are you that dares to judge what I will do is right or not?!" this time the hostility of Queen Olivia was increasingly visible.
"Mother, I am the crown princess. That's my job. If you object, then you can talk to your father to change the law. I just don't want to be known as the Bad Crown Princess."
Geck! Geck! Geck!
Before Princess Olivia spoke, a knock on the door began to sound.
The maid helps open the door at the direction of queen Olivia, and Ava and Val appear.
" Who are you guys? " ask Queen Olivia.
" They are my protective knights."
Ava and Val began to introduce themselves and salute, they took a standing position beside Ellise's left and right.
" Get out, you're not needed here" orders Queen Olivia.
Ava and Val stood unmoved from the spot.
" Her Majesty the Queen, we were sent by Prince Addrich to be by Miss Ellise's side" Val said calmly.
" Protective knight should be by Ellise's side when she visits me? It's bullshit! Did Prince Addrich accuse me of doing something to his wife and now he wants to fight me blatantly?! " said Queen Olivia raising a few octaves of her voice out of anger.
"Mother, please don't take it personally. Actually it was my request to the prince to keep them by my side wherever I was except when I was in the room. They will stay at my door " replied Ellise calmly, not looking scared in her eyes.
" Ellise, do you doubt the safety of the kingdom?! Do you know this action of yours is an insult to the royal knight?!"
Queen Olivia finally gave up on finding a loophole to blame Ellise. He improved his sitting manner to be more graceful. Queen Olivia felt that Ellise was a woman who could not be bullied easily, if she could not get rid of it, of course making Ellise her ally was the most appropriate way.
"Ellise.." call Queen Olivia kindly.
Ellise becomes more wary of Queen Olivia's hospitality.
"Yes mother. "
"It seems that you are very understanding of your status and how great your power is."
"I just learned to understand her mother."
"If so, you must know, your family, duke Labird is the highest-ranking noble in this world after the royal family. His influence was very important, as most of the other high-level nobles were very obedient to the late duke. The duke is also very respected by the people, they love your father with all their heart because when the duke was alive, he jumped directly to help the people even though he almost never showed his face. That is, you have the power to take sympathy either from the nobility or from the people. They'll all bow down to your parking lot. Moreover, now you are the crown princess of this kingdom, who has another great power. In other words, the influence of your own power, is almost the same as the King in the implied sense when you are in the position of empress. "
Ava and Val are shocked by what they just heard. Except for Ellise, she began to associate this with what Prince Addrich said last night. Apparently, this is what Prince Addrich wants to use. From last night, he kept asking, what is the specialty of his status? Why would Prince Addrich want to use it?
"Mom, what do you mean by your words?"
"It is not too late for you to determine which side you will stand on. You must know, me and Prince Addrich have different camps. My son, Sean, is also the king's son. Although he was not the eldest son, he still had the right to be the heir to the throne. I want to prove Federich wrong in his step this time. The Bar-bar Prince was not worthy of being the king of the Allaine continent."
Ellise smiled, finally she managed to get Queen Olivia to take her cover off.
"Mother, aren't you afraid to speak to me? I have the status of Prince Addrich's wife. "
Queen Olivia smiled back at Ellise,
" Ellise, last night you didn't do a husband and wife ritual because you were exhausted. Don't we? You quarreled, because of the report that reached me, in the morning your eyes were asphyxiated as night. "
"Are you watching me?"
"Half of the servants and knights of this kingdom are my men."
"Your answer is enough to tell me that I cannot do as I please. "
" right. Therefore, think back to which you decided to stand on which side. Choose the strong side of Ellise, the one who benefits you the most in the future. Obviously, it's not Prince Addrich's side. With your power, as well as mine, with our cooperation, we can get rid of Prince Addrich and make Sean the next king. After that, nothing else can threaten our power."
"I'll think about it, Mom. "
" good! Now come back, we'll meet again. I hope that by then, I will get a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, Ellise, you will be my enemy. There is no point in fighting me, because Prince Addrich will not be able to protect you. "
