Chapter 24 - Banquet (2)

When Leo and I looked to the source of the sound we saw a green projectile heading in our direction.

The green projectile AKA Lady Julia was so fast that I couldn't react to it

Luckilly Leo reacted fast and brought us out of its trajectory. When we moved out of the way, she almost fell but with Lukas aid we avoid a troublesome situation of having the Future Queen meeting the ground.

"Why would you move out of the way? I almost fell"

Julia complained with tears in her eyes and I could only blink in amazement.

Excuse me??

Why wouldn't I? Is better for you to fell then for me to be hit. What an unreasonable person!

In the first place why are you running? Is perhaps the Queen training not strict to her? Because is impossible to have this type of conduct otherwise.

Although I was lashing at her in my mind, I still kept the noble smile in my face and apologized to her.

"We didn't saw you Lady Julia, I'm sorry. We just ended our chat with Lukas and were taking our leave. Who would have thought you were so excited to see Lukas that you almost tripped. Is good that he helped. If we had saw you we would surely be in the same place so that you would not fall"

"I know you would not do on purpose, but please pay attention next time"

Julia said with a magnanimous face.

Is this girl stupid? Lord don't give me strength otherwise her face will be disfigured.

"Julia you are here. Don't go around too much or I'll be worried"

"Hey Albert"

"Lukas you're also here"

"Good evening Your Highness"

As he turned his in my way, I saw a trace of surprise flash in his eyes, did you truly didn't see me? I'm such a big human being. And why are you frowning I only greeted you.

"Dear stop staring at Lady Cecile or I will be jealous!"

Julia said pouting.

"You are seeing things Love. For me only you exist in my world"

As they started their cringe show, I held my vomit. Although we don't have nothing to do each other anymore, this scene is still uncomfortable to see, I need to leave this couple fast.

Turning to Lukas-Niisama I bowed slightly

"We will take our leave then"

"No, wait Al just got here, you are all childhood friends so you should talk don't mind me"

'Oh Lord how can you create a being so annoying as this?'

"Yes Julia is right, you didn't even introduce the one beside you"

Albert said looking at Louis with condescending eyes that almost made me poke them out.

Sigh. Since Albert opened his golden moth I can only stay for now.

'Oh Lord how can you put together such an annoying couple together'

"Sorry for the late introduction. My name is Leon Alby, Cecis companion"

Are we playing couple again? Leo sure is bold.

Albert frowned and looked at me with an icy look with a tinge of anger

"Lover?"

I knew it. To this overbearing prince once his woman even as ghost I will still be his woman. But this is only your misconception hon, I am now free from your shackles.

"Again His Highness, my love life doesn't seem to regard you"

"Don't be like that Lady Cecile, Al is just asking because he care as a friend. Right, I loved your dress! Do you think it would suit me Al?"

'Not at all'

I thought looking at the petite girl. Because of her face this dress is too serious for her-

"Everything is beautiful on you my dear"

...or not.

'Royalty sure knows how to lie'

Julia pulled Alberts face and gave him a big kiss in his mouth. W-was that tongue?!

WTF???????

Etiquette for what? Morals for what? People are watching? Nah, who cares!

As the couple in front of me broke all the three views that I had about this world and I blankly stare at them, I turned to see the look on Lukas.

As one of the female lead's harem member such move must not sit well... sure enough.

My poor sexy Niisama, all the color was drained from his face.

I hope that this at least serve as a wake up call and he let go of his affection for her.

"I truly love you Al"

Scum Prince looks like a wolf that will eat the squirrel at any time.

"I love you more"

'Disgusting'

Leo also seemed disgusted as his disgust showed in his face. Although your reaction is right this still our future King and Queen.

-pinch-

"Sorry Cecis. I couldn't control."

"That's alright I understand "

As he made motion me to leave, miraculously Julia remembered where they were

"Not here Al, everyone is looking"

Julia said blushing coquettishly bearing Albert's chest.

No b*tch lead-sama even if you do a shy look now it won't work.

"So Lady Cecile, where did you bought your dress I want to commission one for me too."

Julia looked at me with her body completely leaned on Albert.

For the sake of empty your lover's pocket I'll answer this annoying you and ignore your little disgusting love show.

"This is one of the designs that will be available on IP department store. We will open next week, I hope to see your presence there as I'm sure you will be delighted with our products"

"This is also from your store? You are really a hidden gem Miss Cecile. Every time you surprise us with something new. That only one person could come up with so many thinks you must be 1 in a 1000 genius"

I don't even want to guess anymore if you are sincere or not. I just only hope right now that you shut up this trap you call mouth.

"Maybe I'm really a hidden gem waiting for someone to realize how precious I am. But you are wrong in one thing Miss Julia, the products of IP are the result of teamwork. Because of my amazing staff, I have many amazing products. So I must humbly thank you for your praise on behalf of IP family."

Both her eyes and Albert's changed with my comment but before they could say anything the voice of the announcer sounded.

"His Majesty, The King and Her Highness, The Queen"

"Mother-in-law and Father-in-law are here! Al, let us greet them"

Without even greeting us, the b*tch lead-sama made her way to the King and the Queen.

I looked confused at her back. An super intimate move and no regards to the nobles. Didn't she start the Queen training or is that they are going easier on her because of Albert?

I sighed.

This doesn't matter to me anymore. I took my eyes from their figures and looked at the loss in Lukas eyes. Seeing him like this I couldn't help but say my true thoughts.

"Lukas-Niisan, sometimes I wonder what is wrong with your group's eyes"

Lukas gave me a weak smile

"Haha, even I wonder that sometimes bunny"

At least you are aware of it.

"I hope this serve as wake up call Niisan. If you want I can always be your bride haha"

I know that I laughed but I'm not kidding, I really don't mind be your wife at all!

"Oh bunny, I would surely rob you to myself, but I first must defeat the dragon that guards you"

Lukas said jokingly.

"It seems we are not destined than... Lukas Nissama, me and Leo need to meet our parents so that we can go talk to our sovereigns, if you excuse us."

Lukas smiled and also excused himself to meet his parents and greet the sovereigns.

"Leo, did you see our parents?"

I turned to Leo that was looking at me rather strange.

"En, let me guide you"

Leo guided me to the east side of the hall.

"Would you really be his bride?"

"Impossible"

'After all he only has eyes for Julia'

"Oh"

What a weak response. But before I could ask about it we arrived.

"Cecile here you are, we must greet His And Her Majesty"

"That's why I came, are we going now?"

"Yes"

"Well, see you later Leo"

"I'll be waiting here for you Cecis"
