The other noble ladies nodded at Kana’s words.
They looked at Kana and said, "You have to be careful next. Who knows what the Imperial Family will do."
"Yes, you have to be careful."
"Don’t worry about it." Kana chuckled. She held the fan close to her mouth and thought about her father’s order to her. That was for her to make Adela embarrassed in this party and as long as she did that, he would arrange the marriage she wanted for her.
For Kana, this was the biggest blessings.
As for why her father suddenly wanted her to do this, she guessed it was because her father wanted to make a deal with the Imperial Family. She didn’t know what he had in his hands, but it should be enough to make this arrangent.
Annelie watched Kana’s appearance and guessed that Kana’s action should be under the order of soone else.
It was impossible for Kana to be so impulsive all of the sudden.
At the very least, Annelie knew that these noble ladies knew proportions well and would not do things that they were not sure of. Because if they were to involve their family in unsavory matters, they would be punished heavily by their family.
No one wanted that to happen.
’Is that you, Aurora?’
Annelie had only thought about making so little problems in front of Adela but perhaps Aurora had left behind sothing. But this was also good as it would make it difficult for Adela to blend in the high society.
A queen who didn’t have anyone to support her?
Heh.
"Let’s not talk about this. How about if we enjoy the new tea my mother brought?" Annelie asked with a faint smile.
"It’ll be a good idea."
"Yes, you can also relax for now, Lady Kana."
"Lady Kana, shall we?"
Many noble girls didn’t like Adela but no one dared to offend her upfront because of her status in the Yellow Kingdom. So while they enjoyed watching the show, they had no interest to get involved directly in fear that they would also be dragged down.
So of them who had worse relationships with Kana even looked at Kana with gloating look.
They felt that Kana’s future would be ruined after this.
Kana naturally saw their gazes, but she didn’t care. She knew her affairs well and as long as her father agreed to her request, she didn’t mind offending Adela. And there would be other girls for her to associate with in the future after her marriage.
Instead, she turned to look at Annelie who seed to have so guesses about her action.
She smiled. "Let’s go, Lady Annelie."
"Yes."
...
Adela ran to the balcony.
She slamd the door close and leaned on the wall, feeling exhausted and tired. The mockery from the girls before rang in her ear, making her feel frustrated.
So what if she couldn’t follow the etiquette well?
Is it really that important?
Adela didn’t want her entire life to be controlled under various etiquettes and many other things. What she wanted the most was for her to be free and able to do whatever she wanted!
Can’t she do that?
Adela looked around and felt even more aggrieved when she thought that Crown Prince Edward was not here. Louis was staying with Pri Minister Lat while Benny went back to his family’s territory because of so matters.
No one was here to accompany her.
Adela felt frustrated.
She swore that after she ca back, she would have a talk with her mother and complained to Crown Prince Edward!
...
Imperial Palace
The next day, the Yellow Kingdom King sighed deeply when he received the request from Queen Ella about Crown Prince Edward’s fiancée being mocked. To be honest, the Yellow Kingdom King really wanted to say that Adela’s etiquette did need so improvent.
But for the sake of the Imperial Family’s face, the Yellow Kingdom King only said this matter in front of Queen Ella and then asked for Kana’s father, Marquis Hans to co to the Imperial Palace.
And after the Yellow Kingdom King said his intention, Marquis Hans expressed his own view.
"Your Majesty, my daughter did make a mistake and I plan to send her far away." Marquis Hans sighed deeply. The man whom his daughter fancied was a count’s son in a border and Marquis Hans felt that he was not that bad. So under this arrangent, he would fulfill both sides.
"But Your Majesty, you’re not planning to put my daughter’s bla on , are you? I have been busy gathering the weapons that Your Majesty asked from my brother," Marquis Hans asked with a pitiful look.
At this mont, the Yellow Kingdom King was silent.
The war was imminent and he required a lot of weapons. There were so weapons that were being forged right now and it was under Marquis Hans’s brother, who was also a marquis. The two brothers were really hard to deal with and the Yellow Kingdom King knew that he had to be patient to them.
"I’m not such a narrow minded person, Marquis Hans. You don’t have to worry so much." the Yellow Kingdom King shook his head. "I just want to ask about your work aside from this little matter."
In the Yellow Kingdom King’s mouth, the matter of Adela had beco a small matter.
Marquis Hans smiled and said, "I’ve grown old, Your Majesty. After this plan is finished, I plan to retire."
"Retire?" the Yellow Kingdom King was confused. He looked at the marquis in front of him with confusion. "Are you sure about this?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Marquis Hans smiled brightly.
As long as he did things right, he would get a lot of money and he had fulfilled the secret agreent between him and Aurora.
He could get a lot of money, far above what he could get as a minister.
So why should he stay in this position and possibly incur the Yellow Kingdom King’s wrath in the future?
