Two Faced Princess
Chapter 21's
“Are you very worried about that? You think he can be a threat to my power? That damn kid never even fought a real war. Let me win dozens of wars in my life.” Upset Gaius while punching the table.
Petra tried to convince Gaius once again.”But humans are simple and stupid. They want to believe in miracles more than in reality. They think of strange coincidences as miracles without checking the truth.”
The king further furrowed his brows.
“I don't doubt your eyesight, Petra”
But Gaius was the one who could distinguish mere emotions and reason. He realized Petra's arguments and opinions were rational.
“Even if a wound that should heal for a week heals within 3 days, Who will realize that he has healing abilities?”
“Although only for a moment, I could see that the wound had even disappeared for less than three days. In the eyes of others of course it is considered a pursuit.”
Gaius looked at the cold woman before him and raised his eyebrows.Petra was a tough woman. Gaius knows Petra won't give up. But how many times has Petra's stubbornness and opinion saved her?How many times has Petra made him handsome and wealthy?How many times has Petra reversed her destiny?
Gaius knew that Petra should be convinced, not punished. Gaius.
“Well, let's see if Apollonia will really be a big threat”
Petra raised her head. Gaius pretended not to see and pressed the bell to call the maid.
“Call Mr Putri”
After the servant turned around Gaius looked at Petra annoyed.
“This is your last chance Petra. If it turns out that the child is not a threat then you should stop.If you decide to ignore me I will not protect you from the consequences.”
The golden eyes of both of them shone. Petra nodded slowly.
“If you decide that he is not an ancama, I will obey your orders.”
Library doors open. Apollonia walked in with a pale face while wriggling on Sid's arm.
Apollonia looked pale and trembling. He seems to be shocked by what happened yesterday.
“You look pale” Gaius greets him back. “I called you to tell me about last night's incident. Did you see his face?”
Petra moved her body to hear Apollonia answer.
“Itu.i-tu”Apollonia stammered and cried sobbing.
“I didn't see it. I don't see anything Dad. I'm so scared….. What if he comes back? If something happens to me who will accept me?”
Apollonia's beautiful eyes were very similar to her grandfather's. But compared to his grandfather's sharp gaze Apollonia's gaze looked full of sadness and fear. As a beautiful 16-year-old girl surely Apollonia dreams of herself marrying a prince and living happily ever after. Apollonia must have been afraid that her dreams would be shattered because a man had infiltrated her room.
“I'll take care of it so you only need to arrange the servants at Star Palace.”
“Huaauuu..”.
Gaius heeded Apollonia's sobbing and looked at Petra. Petra was staring coldly at Apollonia. But Gaius knew very well his sister's gaze was more than just a gaze. Gaius could see Petra's discomfort and disgust for Apollonia.
It was indeed Petra's reaction to people she considered stupid and awkward who couldn't even read the situation. Moreover, Petra was forced to see this unfortunate scene.
“How about the wound on your arm?”
“Tanku…. The wound wasn't too deep, so I'm fine. Dad don't have to worry.” Apollonia's voice trembled while hiding her hand behind her body.
“Let me see” Gaius's voice may sound good but there is a firmness in his voice that indicates that it is an order.
“But... The wound is terrible, Daddy”.
“Didn't you hear His Majesty's orders?”Petra who was fed up with this situation snapped at Apollonia. Apollonia was forced to roll up her sleeves and show her the wound.
“Sorry, I don't want to show it so you don't worry Your Majesty
