The Neglected Princess

35. Invitation for Dinner

Olivia arrived at her house almost noon and took a shower. Because before that there were many things done on the way back to the castle. Emma helps to bathe Olivia and they talk. Olivia told me what happened to Emma. Makes Emma surprised and at the same time happy.

"Are you okay, Miss? You look moody," asked Emma.

"Yes? Oh, it's okay, Emma. I was just thinking about something else. Did you leave immediately?" asked Olivia to look up at the ceiling of her bathroom.

"Yes, Master Duke, Master Young Duke and Second Young Master went to the palace to face His Majesty," Emma replied. Massaging Olivia's feet.

"Hm, so. So, are you doing what I tell you to? tell me what you see and know" asked Olivia, closing her eyes.

Olivia so enjoyed soaking in warm water with rose petals and massaged Emma. His fatigue instantly disappeared.

"I came to the construction site and met Mr. Deon. He left a letter to you. I saw the building was almost finished. I'm very impressed, Miss. Oh, yes .. "said Emma was surprised and stopped the conversation.

Emma stops briefly massaging Olivia's legs, then moves to Olivia's shoulder.

"I also met someone" whispered Emma in Olivia's ear.

"Oh, who?" olivia asked, still closing her eyes.

"Mr Ron. That, the man who often left a letter to my friend for you," replied Emma.

Olivia opened her eyes and looked at Emma, "Huh? You met her? so, did he say anything?" ask Olivia to know.

Emma rolled the eyeballs, "No serious talk. It's just that the Young Master said he couldn't wait to meet Miss, he said. I said nothing because I knew nothing. Did Miss really plan to meet that handsome Young Master?" ask Emma curious.

Olivia frowned, "You were the only one who met. Listen yes, Emma. I reiterate once again, do not mess around and talk carelessly. Especially about youth. I've said it clearly over and over again. If I wasn't going to get married or have a serious relationship with any man. Understood?" olivia reminded Emma firmly.

Emma nodded her head, "Yes, Miss. I understand" replied Emma.

"What's with that young man named Ron? Her words to Emma were suspicious. Expecting meeting? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Who is waiting for your meeting? Handsome face and abundant money do not guarantee anything, it could be Ron just like the annoying Crown Prince. I remember the novel I read. The Crown Prince's arrogant attitude that blocked Olivia one eye. Cih, the most evil man. Let him be quiet when he finds out Beatrix sent Issac to kill Olivia. Pretending not to know about it. Shitty, very annoying," Olivia's inner gritted her teeth.

"It's weird, why is Miss avoiding the opposite sex? Like a girl who suffered a heartbreak and deep pain. Isn't Miss also good friends with Mr Issac and Mr Deon? Uhh, I don't understand Miss Ivy's mind and heart, "the inner Emma.

After finishing the bath, Emma immediately prepared a dress for Olivia to wear. Emma combed Olivia's long hair slowly and gave her the decoration.

Not long after, the door of the room was knocked and from the outside came the voice of the maid calling out to Olivia.

"Miss, Excuse me. Can I come in?" ask waiter.

"Yes, just go in" replied Olivia.

The waiter opened the door and entered, then walked over to Olivia.

"Miss, there's a guest coming," said the waiter.

"Guests, who?" olivua replied staring at the servant of his residence.

Olivia immediately stood up and stared fixedly at her servant, "Pull your breath first, then puff slowly. Describe it calmly, what do you mean the messenger from the palace came to this castle?" said Olivia.

The tense waiter followed Olivia's words. Take a deep breath, then exhale slowly and finally begin to calm down.

"Look, while I was cleaning the living room floor, there was a guard who came and escorted the two palace envoys," said the maid.

"so, apparently. Yeah, already. I'm going to meet them" Olivia said.

Olivia immediately left followed by Emma and the waiter behind her, leaving the bedroom.

***

In the living room. It was seen a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman sitting down enjoying the tea that the castle maid had served.

"I'm sorry, long wait" said Olivia, who had just arrived.

The two people put down the cup and immediately stood up, bowed a little and lowered their heads in greeting.

"Hallo, Miss. I am Marie, the Queen's lady-in-waiting," said a middle-aged woman.

"And I am Jeremy, the Adjutant to the Emperor," said a middle-aged man.

"I'm Olivia Hubbert. It's nice to meet you both. If I may know, is there any interest in Lord Adjutant and Lady Maid coming to the castle? isn't Master Duke in the palace?" olivia asked.

"Sorry, if our arrival worries you, Miss. We have come to take you to the palace, on the matter of His Majesty the Emperor and Lord Duke Hubbert." Marie said.

Olivia was shocked, "W-what does that mean?" ask Olivia confused.

Jeremy approached and gave Victor a letter and a plaque. Olivia received and immediately read the letter from her father. It turned out that His Majesty wanted to invite the Hubbert family to dinner together as a thank you. All family members are required to come. Since there were Victor, Octavius and Owen in the palace, Olivia was picked up on the Emperor's own orders by sending his personal aides and maids.

"If dinner together, what does the Hubbert family mean with the Emperor's family? then, is there a chance that I will meet the Crown Prince? Ahh, my head is dizzy. How'this? if I refuse, what will the Emperor say. I also asked why I refused. Did I just tell you I was sick, huh? Nope, no. Later Father and the two brothers were worried. Hmm .. I think I should go there. Yeah, nevermind. If you meet, let's just say I see garbage and I don't have to look anymore. I can't tarnish the reputation of the Hubbert family and offend His Majesty" Olivia said.

Olivia folded back the letter from her father, "Alright. I'll get ready. Is it okay to wait?" olivia looked at Jeremy and Marie.

"Please, Miss." Answer Marie. Jeremy nodded his head slowly.

Olivia looked at Emma and gestured to go with her immediately.

On the way to her room, Olivia thought of something. He wanted to change his appearance and impact from before.

"If in the novel, Olivia would dress up cute to make Arron captivated and keep looking at him. Beatrix is also a beautiful woman. But this time I will show you. Another appearance. I no longer want to be judged as a soft-hearted Olivia who dresses tacky. The time changed, hohoho .. "inner Olivia smiled happily.

She held Emma's hand and whispered to Emma. Want Emma to dress him with makeup according to his beliefs. He also asked Emma to prepare a frilly plain dress without a dark-colored motif. Olivia said, if she wanted to appear different, she would have to eat with the Emperor's family.
