Two Faced Princess
Chapter 31
Apollonia had attended many banquets in her life but this was her first time hosting. Even his birthday banquet was only a reason for the nobles to gather so no one cared too much about him.
But at the banquet this time, at his birthday celebration ceremony, Apollonia attracted everyone's attention for the first time. The King had sent a talented servant and Apollonia had spent the whole day dressed up by the servant's experienced hand. The makeup he gave Apollonia's face became a beautiful girl with glowing skin and blushing cheeks.
“You'd better put your weight up.” The waiter said frankly. It didn't have much of an effect because the waiter had made Apollonia look amazing. Apollonia wears a snow-white dress that symbolizes sincerity decorated with sparkling diamonds in the dark of the night. His head was crowned with a flower tiara made from finely forged gold. All this further brings out the beauty of Apollonia.
When He entered the banquet hall, He was surrounded by young men who invited him to dance. Women her age also praised her beauty and calmness.
“Greetings to the sun kingdom.”When Apollonia greeted the King, who was sitting on a throne at the end of the room, the King was visibly enchanted. Next to him Petra sat staring at him stiffly, as usual.
Apollonia hasn't seen them since. But after He returned to the Star Palace when He showed them his wounds, one of the servants said that Petra often met the King. They must be planning something.
Apollonia did not know what their plans were, but he doubted Petra was trying to kill him a second time. News of yesterday's incident has spread across the kingdom like a fire.
“You have grown up.” Said the King with a loving look while the queens behind him smiled cheerfully.
“This is all because of the kindness of His Majesty,” Apollonia replied. Apparently Gaius was unaware of the sarcasm that Apollonia was throwing out.
“I have good news. This news is perfect to deliver at today's banquet.”Said the King with a smile.
“If Dad says this is good news then this is indeed good news.” reply Apollonia excited. As if they were fighting in will, Apollonia was sure that he would not lose.
But hearing Gaius' words afterwards, Apollonia could only glare in disbelief.
“The cover letter has come for you.” Gaius grinned at Apollonia. “In the meantime you should get ready for your engagement.”
Petra who was sitting next to him smiled in satisfaction. Both ends of his lips lifted.
“Lamaran... from whom?”.Apollonia could not hide the vibrations in her voice. Fortunately Gaius and Petra thought it was a happy reaction from the shy girl.
“So, Dad has decided?”
“Yes. Petra will help your preparation so do your best.”
What kind of personality would fit him?The Kingdom of Bjorn was a prosperous Kingdom whose main export was weapons, besides they also had a thriving business district. Apollonia took a deep breath. Although he was confused, he tried to figure out why this engagement was decided so quickly.
“Congratulations, Your Grace.”
When Petra congratulated him with a forced smile, Apollonia understood.
His early marriage was a plan that Petra and Gaius had made.
Petra considered Apollonia a threat, and the cover letter came at the right time.
“Ya, Congratulations Your Excellency,”
The queens behind Gaius tried to flatter Apollonia. The King looked at Apollonia haughtily, as if expecting thanks and hoping that Apollonia would soon flee from her pandagan.
“Dad”
Apollonia thought for a moment then smiled calmly. “I heard the Prince of Bjorn has an authoritative kararkter and a great martial artist.”
Of course Apollonia had never heard of anything. ‘Character’ is a compliment that is used when there is nothing to praise and a nobleman and martial arts is just a story that He corroded in relation to Bjorn having a distinctive feature of his weapons.
Apollonia is not interested in marriage. But the advantage of this situation is obvious.
