Sleeping Beauty Wants The Throne
16. He's the Crown Prince

"Blessing over you, Your Majesty." Luz bent her knees and lifted both ends of the dress she was wearing up while looking down respectfully and gracefully.

King Izaikhel laughed in satisfaction. "This is your second daughter, Thompsville?"

Marquis Thompsville nodded without compromising his respect. "Yes, Your Majesty. She's Lady Odyssey de Cera. Sister of Crystal Lady."

Luz glanced cynically. Why must the pink lady be carried around?

"But if you look around they are very different. It may be that Lady Odyssey is better suited to the title of Crystal Lady. His physique is exactly like yours, Marquis," said the queen who sat beside the king staring enthusiastically at Luz.

Oh, I see. The Queen must be on a team with Luz. Hate the pink lily.

Marquis throbs. "I never distinguish one daughter from another. They get fair rights in the manor house every day. So if it's just a physical problem you're concerned about .. Lady Athene's talent can go beyond that."

Just hearing it, Luz's stomach was churning. What talents. The strong woman is actually no better in terms of anything especially when compared to Denise, Luz manager in NY who used to hold a graduate degree from a famous University in the UK. Very responsive and detailed on each cooperation contract and highly appreciate the time even for one minute. Aren't they much different.

Talented athene? Pft, it looks like the world has turned upside down.

"Oh yeah, like what?" ask the queen again. Not in the direction of interest, from his tone alone Luz knew that the queen was trying to challenge his interlocutor. Marquis Thompsville, because he knew very well how Athene's true character was.

"His heart is clean as pure as a diamond. He's so innocent and honest" said Marquis Thompsville proudly. "Physical is not a guarantee, I just put the appropriate title to the proper princess. Isn't a clean heart a reflection of the title of Crystal Lady itself?"

Indirectly the Marquis accused Odyssey, this second daughter has many vices and liars. No better than Athene.

For the implied accusation that his heart was dirty, Luz was unable to rebuff. The Odyssey does have a sacred heart, but after Luz's arrival it may be that a clean heart will slowly change its color.

Somehow later. Will the arrival of Luz have a positive impact or just the opposite.

The queen, Monetta la Empyrean turned to Luz who had not made a sound at all since she finished greeting them.

"Hey, lady. Don't you want to refute your father's words?"

"I want to, but I can't."

"Why?"

"You two are the supreme leaders in Sormenia. How could I dare to speak without orders from you?" sahut sweet Luz.

Point + 1

The queen's love for the Odyssey is growing steadily. That's what Luz wanted. From her gaze alone, Luz could tell that the queen wanted her to be crowned Crystal Lady. Given from every generation no one has ever dared to violate the main provisions of the special title except Athene.

As the name implies, the Crystal Lady should have a white mane as a distinctive feature. And Athene is not included.

King Izaikhel looks a little. He did not expect that the Odyssey was so good at seizing people's hearts. "Why now do you show me the most precious jewel of de Cera, Thompsville. It turns out that in addition to charming, Lady de Cera is also good at ethics. If my future son-in-law has the courtesy of Lady de Cera, I don't have to worry about my son building this country with him in the future" the king said, laughing.

Point ++ 99

The king was very fond of the Odyssey even intending to make him a son-in-law.

Marquis Thompsville only smiled faintly in response.

Before long a young man in dark blue clothes came to them, "Hail, Your Majesty. I heard you calling me?"

"Finally you came too, Vandre." Still with a proud twinkle, the king pointed at the Odyssey using his gaze. "I'd be happy if you guys wanted to meet. Go and dance with her."

"Sure," Luz replied and greeted the helping hand without feeling awkward.

The two of them joined the other nobles in the middle of the hall. Dance like a couple right under a giant chandelier stuck in a palace auction. Seeing Lady de Cera willing to accept the crown prince's invitation to dance, the other nobles also hoped that they would also get the same opportunity to get close to the crystal.

"I'm sorry if my moves are stiff, sir. I'm not used to dancing" Luz said, staring worriedly at her feet in case she accidentally stepped on her opponent's legs.

Evandre chuckled, "No problem. I can teach you."

"Thank you."

Their bodies were both swinging loosely at the melodic line that was chanting shahdu. Slowly Luz began to understand the steps he had to take and after some time the girl was able to dance without hesitation.

"Learn very quickly," Evandre commented and smiled.

"Thanks to your help," Luz replied lightly. "By the way you look close to His Majesty the King."

"of course. He's my father."

Luz glared, watching Evandre's face that was not too similar to the king to the point that Luz did not suspect the possibility of that one. They can be close because they have blood ties!

So Evandre is a prince? Gee.

Seeing Luz's changed expression, Evandre could not help but laugh. "Who do you think I am?"

"I thought you were His Majesty's right-hand man" Luz replied without bothering to remove the shock from his pale white face. Not to forget he also improved his language to be more polite.

Actually lies. Luz had thought that Evandre was a servant who used to pour drinks for the royal family. Because before starting the sweet drama, Luz had seen if the beer in the king's porcelain cup was only a quarter left.

But Luz chose not to say what his head was about. Boro-boro the intention of becoming a Crystal Lady was achieved, Luz may have been slit on the spot because it was considered to have insulted the royal family.

"Where have you been all this time?" ask Evandre. He held Luz's hip affectionately, taking her further and further into the chatter that was beginning to weigh less. Luz.

"Uh?"

"Is not the name Lady de Cera very rarely heard. But tonight you managed to show who you are by surprising people. Especially the king and queen," the man replied without letting go of his gaze from Luz's glowing purple bead beautifully.

"really. And just for information, the king also likes me. If you don't mind, the position of the crown princess candidate I can seize at any time if you allow," teased Luz shamelessly.

Hey, if he just keeps quiet while he waits and wishes Prince Evandre first fell in love with the Odyssey, his plan might not work. There must be many women who want to grab the attention of the prince which means not a few rivals that Luz has to face. He ... should be a little aggressive.

Evandre again smiled a little. "We just met, but it feels like I've fallen too deep for you, Lady."

Luz smiled brightly, "So?"

"You have taken my heart. Whatever you want to get, it's my duty to make it happen." Evandre looked at her warmly, lowered his head then whispered, "Please kill the confidence of the other girls with your perfection. For the first time I'm like this, allowing someone to take that title because someone is quite special."

Luz shames in shame. But behind all that, the plan worked. Luz had thought that the road to the crown princess might take less than a month, but everything went more spectacular than he expected. Overnight, the crown prince had promised that special position for free.

Although Luz does not feel the same feeling, but is not the most important and main power?

After all, Luz was numb to everything that was romantic.
