Lover While The Duke
#10 Zagc (Guests Uninvited)
In the middle of the event an announcement shocked everyone.
"His Highness Crown Prince Verdian Zagc, and Princess Gwinia Zagc entered the room."
Everyone froze and looked at each other. No exception Lionel. His eyes vibrate. The confusion is clearly visible there. Yanneta was busy observing the situation while focusing on the door.
He will finally meet the OgFL in the Red Rose Tragedy. If it was Verdian, he'd already seen her at her birthday party.
Gwinia Abraha Zagc, the emperor's most beloved daughter. Although not the son of Princess Gwinia was echoed by her father, Emperor Zagc. Because of this he became a spoiled child and always got what he wanted.
No exception to people. An example is Lionel Soveil. It's common knowledge that Princess Gwinia likes Duke Lionel Soveil.
Despite not being aggressive, Princess Gwinia openly showed her interest in Lionel. Unfortunately, Lionel ignored him. The imperial family from the beginning was an enemy of Soveil. So they are nothing more than disgusting insects and should be avoided.
"How did they get here?" Lionel asked Fabian who was standing behind him.
"We did not invite the family of the emperor His Majesty. So I can't explain."
"They've been getting bolder lately." Lionel's voice was rising.
As soon as the two highly anticipated people appeared, everyone stood up and lowered their heads.
"Greet His Majesty Crown Prince Verdian and Princess Gwinia."
Too blatant pleasantries. They say hello to him and then re-establish the compartment.
Lionel who stood at the very end approached the two sons of Emperor Zagc.
"It seems like there was an error in sending the invitation. May His Majesty understand the faults of my subordinates." The blatant provocation.
Anyone knows they don't get along. Between Zagc and Soveil. So the words of the circus are no stranger to their ears.
"No Duke, we have business nearby so there's no harm in stopping by. We even found out when we arrived at the gate that today was Golden Saturday." Verdian's response was very calm. The smile did not come off his lips.
It is not wrong if Yanneta labels greenflag on Verdian Zagc. It means he's like a kind brother.
Look at Lionel's side. His face was as cold as it was ready to spew cold flames towards the two people in front of him. He is redflag according to Yanneta, unfortunately Lionel remains his favorite. The badboy category man does have sweetness.
"ah! Do you need a place to rest? I'll get it ready soon."
In other words Lionel said "Go away from here!"
Yanneta's eyes were fixed on Gwinia Zagc, she did not say much but her emotions were excessive. His lips could smile but his eyes could pierce through Lionel.
Rouse suspiction.
"Are we bothering Duke?" Her voice is soft and graceful. Suitable as the role of the emperor's daughter.
"Of course." Lionel's answer was very honest.
Yanneta almost choked on hearing Lionel's reply. This is no longer hostility but an open nonphysical war.
Many eyes were watching this fierce dispute.
"Looks like we're not expected here, we'll just go." Gwinia Timpal.
Well this. This is what Yanneta feared. Who would dare to refuse the imperial family's presence. This can be considered betrayal. Yanneta's breath is grazed she's worried.
"Fabees." Call Lionel.
"Yes Your Majesty."
"Preparate a place for the Crown Prince and Princess." Declared.
Fabian nodded then escorted them to a nearby chair. The seating arrangement changed except for Lionel and Yanneta's.
Most of the guests were couples. Not many young. It can be counted on the fingers. They are average pairs. Guests who come alone are not many. Guests are more domineering.
Yanneta's presence looks striking as she is a young woman without a partner. Its existence is easily visible.
Gwinia's gaze met directly with Yanneta. Like locking on to a target. For some reason, according to Yanneta, his gaze was unusual. He was hated from a distance.
Thought Yanneta, Princess Gwinia must have misunderstood him. Like the others. But Yanenta had no intention of explaining. He's too tired. He just wants to get home soon.
The event went well despite two uninvited guests. Lionel himself could not do much because of their position.
Lionel treated them like they were invisible throughout the event. Lionel can be there indifferent but Yanneta is not.
Throughout the show Gwinia noticed Yanneta's movements. Can-biaa his forehead perforated at Gwinia's gaze. He tries to focus but it is hard. We know what it's like to be watched by someone. It's uncomfortable.
Fortunately Lionel's face slightly treated Yanneta's discomfort. I am not tired of seeing that handsome face. Wearing official attire with the Soveil symbol on the chest, Lionel's features were not defined. The word beautiful, handsome, perfect, extraordinary is not enough. He is not a human being but an angel.
"It seems like today is enough. Thank you for your presence." Lionel's speech ended well.
Without warning everyone stood up and approached Lionel. They took turns bowing and one by one left the room.
"It's nice to be on a show like this Duke." Verdian shook Lionel's hand.
"Thank you for your exorbitant praise, Your Majesty. This is just a regular discussion. Your presence might weigh them down." Lionel directed his gaze at the door. It means guests are coming.
Yannet agreed with Verdian. This event is not an ordinary discussion but a very useful meeting. They talk about people's problems. Poverty, hunger, and even children do not escape their attention.
Funds collected from the Golden Saturday are highly regarded for their use. Whether it's on target or not. Is there a problem or not.
The other people present definitely agreed with Verdian's praise. They will certainly be amazed and proud of Soveil.
This concept is what no other region has. Especially Zagc himself. They had once copied the concept of the Golden Saturday of Soveil, but before long the show was disbanded due to the selfishness of its members. Unlike the solid Soveil.
"We also want to be like Duke's incredible Soveil." Gwinia's timpal suddenly. His voice is smooth and spoiled.
Yanneta who was secretly watching from the side and laughed inwardly. Gwinia looks like the pick me girl. How to tease her is funny.
"How Soveil can compare to Princess Zagc, you're so overrated."
In the face of anticipation, instead of responding shyly to being pelted with a wink-wink from Gwinia, Lionel instead put on a flat face.
Gwinia's face immediately surly.
Yanneta's laughter almost exploded. He turned his face so unstoppable. If he were Gwinia he would have been looking for a hole to hide in. Lionel's flat face was no less funny either. How could he as a normal man not be moved at all by the deadly attack of Gwinia.
Princess Gwinia was also beautiful according to Yanneta. Sweetheart at the first meeting he got a lot of minus value from him. Although her face was beautiful and her smile was also sweet, Gwinia looked like a fox. Beautiful yet crafty.
"Then we withdraw Duke." Verdian shook Lionel's hand again and then left and was followed by Gwinia who put on a disappointed face.
The hall became quiet. There remained a man Janet who had not left the place as a guest. He immediately set his position and walked over to Lionel.
"Your Majesty also resigned."
"Wait for Lady."
"Is there anything you would like to say again, Your Majesty? I have attended enough of this event. Please don't bother me anymore."
Lionel's forehead is wrinkled.
"Will you take your time to have a little tea with me?" Lionel pulled Yanneta's hand and kissed her.
"Yes?" Yanneta's response was spontaneous.
"I invite you to tea and have a nice snack. Soveil has the best tea collection in Zagc, don't you want to try it?"
A very tempting offer. Especially people who offer no less tempting. Her smile was very bewitching. Yanneta almost nodded before she fully realized.
"No thanks for your exorbitant kindness, Your Majesty." Yanneta pulled her hand back.
The lacy gloves became tangled due to the grip of his own hands. Yanenta did not want to get involved too far with the character in the Red Rose Tragedy.
He hurriedly escaped from Lionel, but his gaze glimpsed to see that there were eyes watching him. When Yanneta searches for who it is she does not find it. The hall left only him and Lionel.
Yanneta made her way to the door. When he was about to reach the doorknob his hand was pulled by a great force.
Yanneta's body flipped over and her back immediately stared at the door.
"Lady wait a minute. Huh.. Huh.." Lionel's voice is heavy.
"Your Majesty let me go." Yanneta tries to get away from Lionel but is unable to. His hand was locked by Lionel.
"Well.. Huh.." Lionel's breathing sounded irregular.
Yanneta who was aware of the situation forcibly released her hand and Lionel's body immediately collapsed into her embrace.
Feels hot. Lionel's body was like it was burning and wet with sweat.
A second ago this guy was okay. What the hell is going on. How can it be like this. Yanneta panic. The memories of that night immediately flashed in his head.
Lionel's got a curse attack.
"Your Majesty are you okay?"
He tried to shake Lionel's body. Due to the unbalanced force both of them fell to the floor.
"Is there anyone outside? Help me!" Yanneta shouted with all her might.
Seriate...
FYI
Pick me girl is like a girl who says "choose me choose me!".
Wink-wink or ngewing means blinking. It can also mean flirting with the blink of an eye.
