Throne For Princes In Novels

Ep. 24 Victory Party

Leonard hugged me tightly until his warm breath felt in the open recess of my neck, this miss is it for me? Ah... This is really Leonard's hug and I miss him too.

"I'm sorry, because I didn't attend your welcome parade." I said with great regret. I'm sure he must be disappointed.

"No need to think about it." He said without letting go of his embrace. Turns out he wasn't angry, maybe for four years we were apart he's grown up.

"Emmm.... Leonard, can you let go of your embrace?" My love for this long feels sultry.

Leonard finally let go of me and instantly flipped my body to face him. He watched me for a moment then held my cheeks with both hands and moved them left and right no matter what he meant.

"I fought so hard I almost died, but why did you get sick?" He said by frowning his forehead.

"Hm... Your face is already better than before even though it's still a little pale." And it made me suspicious.

"Wait first! What do you mean by before?" My toot.

"That's anu..." Leonard looked confused and misbehaved. Ah, no more wrong!

"So who was you then? Why are you holding my face while I'm sleeping?!" Accuse me directly without further ado.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand." Leonard immediately dodged with stuttering and agitation like a person who was lying. He thinks I don't know that? We've been living together for a long time, of course I know very well how excited he is if he is lying. He's really not good at lying in front of me.

"Don't pretend not to know, when I'm sick you secretly come to my room at night out of worry right?" Without any more ba bi bu I lanhsung attacked to the point and to his surprise he immediately dodged.

"No, really!!" He dodged it and did not admit it out of embarrassment. Look at his ears turning red with a wrong face. Hohoho... It has been this big he just wanted to be embarrassed even though if I was not sick we would have shared the same bed. Although until now we have never done 'nothing' anyway...

"But Louisse, are you really healed? Then why are you wearing makeup that doesn't suit you? It's so thick it sticks to my palm." Tanyanta looked at his palm. Is that how thick Anne put powder on my face until it can stick in Leonard's hand? Just make me ashamed.

"This opens your pale face but your powder is too thick." He told me that embarrassed me again.

"I used that thick powder to cover my pale! What do you know about women's makeup?!" I cried with shame and shame.

"God... Don't get angry first, you should fix your makeup again because it's gone." Leonard said that made me instantly speechless. Come to think of it I've been crying, it must have faded because of that.

"It's best to wear natural makeup." Added again.

"I told you this to cover my pale face!" Leonard still makes me annoyed but still teases me!

"It's better without makeup." The murmuring I can still hear. And..do you mean my face is prettier without makeup? I'm sorry, but that's bullshit.

Moments after I fixed my makeup, we both finally entered the party building. There were already many guests who came and their views on me when we entered it was very disturbing to me. Their scornful looks made me uncomfortable. As if to say 'Ah that Prince who came home carrying achievements after the war and the woman who will soon be divorced', isn't this an interesting rumor for them?

"Leonard..."

"Yes..."

"Don't you not be my partner at the party like you are today?" I said as I continued walking around clutching his arm.

"Yes, too..." Answer Leonard.

Just for information, as long as Leonard has not been at the palace for the past four years if there is an official Oscar ceremony that replaces him for my partner. It was Leonard who asked Oscar to take care of me as long as he wasn't around. And luckily Oscar doesn't have a fiancee yet.

Then suddenly a voice called out to Leonard.

"Prince..."

And we turned around. There I saw four men in knight attire smiling at Leonard and one of them had a familiar face to me. Julian de Aswan, one of Leonard's confidants and three others must have been a knight close to Leonard as well.

"Ah, you're all here when you say you're not coming." Leonard said when he saw them.

Julian who saw me immediately looked down respectfully, while the others looked confused.

"Bah... You really look like a Prince if you look neat like this hehe..." Red-haired man chuckling.

"Do you not know Red? If that remark just now could be considered an insult to the members of the Empire." Said Leonard, who I thought was just joking.

"But Your Majesty, who is the woman who came with you?" Asked one of the men who looked more mature among the four of them.

"Oh, you must have never seen it. She's Louisse de Eliador, my wife." Leonard introduced me.

"Ah so this... It's an honor to meet you in person." Solicited respectfully but with a dislike expression, there wasn't even a pleasant smile she showed. Fix it!! This guy doesn't like me.

"It's nice to meet you too." Reply with the fake smile I used to use in front of people who were acting fake to me as well.

"He's a Princess? I don't think he's coming because at the welcome parade he's not coming." Ask the man named Red to one of his friends who looks quite young among them.

"Looks like he'd feel bad if he didn't come at the victory party either." Answer the young knight.

Gee whiz... Is that guy named Red and that little knight stupid? They say it like I can't hear it. I was really impressed in their eyes.

"Ah I suddenly so remembered the incident nine years ago. That time His Highness the Prince cancelled the appointment with us and just left in a hurry." The most grown man's words while smiling smirk teased Leonard.

"Ah, I just remembered! So the Princess was the daughter His Majesty had taken with her at that time!" Red suddenly.

What they meant was when Leonard and I went quietly outside the palace when we were kids? It was the time when we were just getting married.

"So you all saw him? Why don't you guys ever tell a story and pretend you don't know?!" Leonard who seemed embarrassed because of being mocked by his knight friends.

"Sorry Prince, because at that time you look adorable haha..." Said the big man.

"You're Rodrigo!!"

Ohhh... The name of the most grown man was Rodrigo. Hm... I'll remember.

"Yes, yeah okay... I won't talk about that story anymore." Said Rodrigo with a smile.

Seeing Leonard who can behave as they are in front of them, it is not wrong if their relationship is close enough. Yep... They've known each other since Leonard was a kid.

"Oh yes, there is something important that we must discuss with you Your Majesty, can you take the time?" Rodrego.

"Ah, wait a minute... Louisse, is it okay if I stay a while?" Ask Leonard.

"You think I'm still a kid? Don't worry, go... I'll wait here." My answer.

"Well, wait here a minute, I'll be right back." Pamit Leonard to me.

"Yes, yeah..." My heart while waving my hand.

Even though I told you not to worry I actually felt uncomfortable being alone, it was because of the people's gazes at me and the whispers of those talking about me. But I can't hold off Leonard who's having important business. So for a while I have to be able to hold on until Leonard comes back.

"I'd better just eat, I happen to be hungry."

I also took some cookies and desserts for me to eat. But as I was chewing my first meal a familiar voice greeted me.

"So why are you here alone? People will consider brother pathetic..."

"Oscar?!"
