Third Life
Attending a Party
" Candidate huh.." Inner Annelise grimaced as she did not expect to get married at all now.
" It doesn't seem like Anne just wants to focus on doing something" said Anne, who rejected the Countess' idea.
The Countess who heard him put on a sullen face remembering it seemed like her daughter did not want to get married and the Count instead put on her happy face hearing that her little Princess did not want to marry another man. Remembering she would be very sad when her little Anne left the castle.
" Dear you don't have to force her to let Anne to find her love like Annete. We don't need a man who sees only the beauty of our Princess but he must love her sincerely without looking at the physical." said the Count who gave wise advice.
Annelise who heard it felt moved to remember her father's ascetic love her very much and disappointed because it once made her sad. Annelise hugged the Count.
" Thank you father you were the first man I ever cared about and I will never let you down again" Anne said.
The Count returned Annelise's embrace with a feeling of pleasure because her daughter was an adult and began to dispel her childish attitude.
" Dad loves you so much let's go now lest the emperor be disappointed that we don't come" said the Count who helped the Countess and Annelise into the carriage.
During the trip Annelise just kept quiet and occasionally heard the conversation of her parents because now her mind was fixed on the Emperor and the woman.
With great expectation Annelise did not want to meet the woman and did not make the Emperor even more interested in her again like last time.
Arriving at the gate of the palace were many horse carriages lining up to enter inside. Only invited persons may enter the palace because Emperor Abraxas did not trust anyone after the death of their late Queen Mary. Emperor Abraxas loved his mother who died of illness when she was 8 years old and gave her mother's name to her first daughter.
Annelise knew that because every year Emperor Abraxas always took her and Sophia to visit the tomb of the late Queen Mary. Suddenly, a question popped into his head.

On the other hand, Emperor Abraxas walked to the party with his only daughter Maria. He remembered what the council had to say about the new Queen and it seemed that Emperor Abraxas would think about it considering that he had no male heir.
But his thoughts were on a woman who took care of him while in the castle of Count Von de Ramos. Women who are curious because his heart often beats when near him.
Arriving in front of the party entrance the guards immediately shouted out calling for his arrival.
" EMPEROR ABRAXAS FRANCISCO ENDIBURGH AND PRINCESS MARIA AMBER ENDIBURGH."
Everyone immediately lowered their heads when they saw the Emperor and the Princess enter the party wearing a red suit. Especially the women who looked at Emperor Abraxas with adoring gazes and hoped to marry him to get the position of Queen vacant for a month.
Emperor Abraxas walked in holding the hand of Princess Maria to sit on her throne. Not long after they sat down suddenly a voice called for someone's arrival.
" COUNTY REYES VON DE RAMOS AND COUNTESS INGRID VON DE RAMOS AND LADY ANNALISE ELIZABETH VON DE RAMOS."
Instantly....
The countine...
