Two Faced Princess
Chapter 8's
Catherine said goodbye awkwardly and purposely stepped on a little piece of the Apollonia dress. Catherine wanted to see Apollonia lose her repulsive mask and fall into staggering straits. As much as she wanted the Apollonia dress tore a little at the bottom but without her noticing a bigger problem arose.
Prangs!Prangs!
Catherine is desperate for her little revenge and accidentally nudges a teapot that then falls to the floor.
The teapot broke just below Apollonia's body so that Apollonia slipped and fell right over the broken teapot.
“Ah.”
But Apollonia chose not to shout too loudly.
“Yes pardon Your Majesty are you okay?”
“Let Me see your wound Your Majesty, Geez You are bleeding!”
“Someone call the doctor!”
The crowd in astonishment saw that the commotion made Catherine even more backward in confusion.Maya who was next to her immediately pulled out a handkerchief and covered the torn wound from the shards on Apollonia's left arm
“It's okay I'll be treated in my room. Everyone please return to banquet”. Apollonia doesn't feel well at all. That night was the first night his face turned pale. He needed time to forget about Catherine's events and of course the pain in her stairwell.
How can I hide a wound like this?
Apollonia hurriedly rubbed the hot tea water onto her blood which was still flowing with her other hand while watching her surroundings. He hasn't seen it yet, I have to get out of here Apollonia thought.
Apollonia withdrew Maya's hand and hurriedly headed for the banquet hall's door. But he's too late. Shortly before He came to the door of his banquet hall a shadow appeared before him.
“Yeah Your Highness your hand why?”
The voice sounded stiff and emotionless compared to the worried voices he had heard earlier. Because the one standing before him was the real ruler in the royal family.
“Aibi.. ”
Petra Liefer
Behind the perfectly black hair his eyebrows shot up and a pair of golden eyes of Petra Liefer stared at Apollonia as if staring at her prey. But the look on his face was not reflected in the slightest worry.
Apollonia bit her lips hard.
From the beginning Apollonia did not seriously want to avenge Catherine. The reason was not that he wanted to prioritize the rules of the royal palace or the insignificant disputes between women.
Because from the beginning Catherine Loenheim would not be able to take over the power of the royal palace. But the only ones who did not know about this were Catherine and some of her allies who had recently entered the palace.
“I heard there was a commotion, it was indeed true ”
‘The house'(ruler) is actually the royal palace is the cold Petra Liefer, the younger sister of His Majesty the King and a Duchess Liefer.
King Gaius trusted his sister Petra. Petra was as brave and clever as Gaius but more ruthless and meticulous.
With his good business skills, he opened a small shop where he bought and sold silk and jewelry from decades ago. It only took less than 5 years before his shop ‘Rowan’ became a royal famous brand.
Petra raised the surname Leifer which was originally only a provincial government by investing lavishly from its own business money. It is also said that Petra was the first to bring Gaius and Ellenia together.
And now he's an influential politician and ‘the real’ governs the royal family after Ellenia's death.
“What is this because the servants do not serve you properly in front of the guests?”
His words left the servants speechless, showing how powerful Petra was. Without Apollonia realizing her body was sweating even if only stared at by Petra.
7 Years ago at the funeral of Princess Ellenia and King Pascal III Petra whispered in Apollonia's ear.
“Life like you're dead. If you want to live then don't have the power”
After whispering like that with a loving look He kept his face away from the trembling body of Apollonia.Since then Apollonia followed Petra's advice with all her ability.
“Show your arm”
“It's not so sick”
Apollonia hides her arm but Petra takes Apollonia by the wrist.
“Although it continues to bleed but the wound is not in”
