Chereads / After I Took Off My Tiara / Chapter 10 - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 - Chapter 10

Feeling the stare of the two majesties, she bit her lips helplessly.

"Greetings, King and Queen." The two od them bowed.

"Sit. You must know why we called you here, right?" The queen dowager said. I felt sweat flowed down from my back. I am innocent!! I don't know anything!! I am a victim!!!

The both of them sat on the chair, "We know..." Felix said as he sough.

The king looked at Felix, "Third Prince, what do you think about the news?" Felix looked to his dad. He shrugged his shoulders though he was really mad at her indecent actions. Don't she think about the royalties at all?!

"Third Prince wait outside first, we wish to talk with Istel privately." Felix nodded then left them.

The queen looked at her not mad at all, "Tell me child, What happened?"

She looked at her father and mother then began her explanation.

When she finished her explanation, the two majesties didn't also know why the two of the got captured. It was an unexpected occurring that's hard to tell.

"Your majesties, please call Lianz here to clarify everything and hear what can he say about this." She said almost wanted to cry. She knew she might get misunderstood by someone but not like this.

The king sighed, "We'll call him right away. You wait outside with the Third Prince."

She bowed to them before leaving the room. When se went out, she was shocked at the scene in front of her.

Felix was chatting with her brother; the First Prince. His smile was so dazzling that it captivated her for a minute. It's not her first time seeing him smile, but that smile was completely different than the one she saw.

It was full of energy and lifted other's mood. The smile that made others smile too.

She stood outside the door silently. She's afraid that if she greet the first prince the talk between him and Felix would break so she stood still.

After the marriage ceremony, it's her first time seeing the first prince with his casual attire. It wasn't extravagant but still good and appealing to him. Maybe because he was a royalty.

What a harmonious relationship Felix had with the First Prince.

Not long after, footsteps near them could be heard. She looked at the noise and it was Lianz. She felt she's saves and smiled to him.

"Your majesties, Lianz have arrived." One of the maids said as she bowed.

"Let Istel, Fix and Lianz in." Hearing the royalties, Lianz was nervous. The gaze of Felix earlier was so dark that he could only swallow his saliva and avert his eyes from him. It feels Felix was roasting him alive!

"Sit." The queen said when they are finished greeting them again. Lianz wiles his sweat from his forehead by his handkerchief.

He looked at them, "I have the recording of what the Third Prince and I talked about." He said taking something out from his pocket. Thankfully, he recorded that meeting or else, Istel will really be roasted.

When Istel heard him, she recalled what she told him, 'I love and respect mg husband', she almost puke.

Felix was confuse how Lianz manages to record that without Istel's consent.

"I prepared this because I am afraid some people might misinterpreted my intentions... so, here's the recorder." He started the recording.

"I am Lianz, I invited you here... to give... my... I-I mean... to confess... Istel Red Lim."

"Ahh... Lianz, right? Nice meeting you. How do you know my name?"

"Ahh... you're the Third Princess. Naturally, everyone know who you are."

Istel almost slapped herself to suggest calling Lianz.

"Yes... I am the Third Princess.. you know what I mean right?"

All the royalties held their breath, what was the two talking about?

"I really like you..." Lianz bit his lips when he heard himself.

"Liking and loving is in different categories. I know that you confessed to me so that you won't need to peek or do any secrets move to see me. However, I have a husband. I loved and respect him with all my might. Also, as a Third Princess, I advice you to not like me because I don't like you."

The King and Queen was shocked! Istel love Felix?!

"But---"Lianz stopped the recording. Felix looked at him.

"The recording isn't finish yet." Felix said Without emotion. Lianz hesitated because he spoke ill about Nilet.

The recording continued, "the Second Princess always stick to him like glue! You should've been the one whose beside him!"

Because of his sudden shout, Felix stared at him darkly. Lianz was scares and looked around like he didn't do anything bad.

"*sigh*. Mr. Lianz, don't accuse people of how you see them. Sometimes, what we see things was completely different from the actual thing that had happened. And one last thing, don't involve yourself regarding the royalties things."

The voice stopped.

"Then I shall take my leave."

The queen looked at Felix which he was staring at the recording. The king is staring at the bowing Lianz while Istel is covering her face from embarrassment.

Lianz stood up and bowed, "I am so sorry for my informal and bad words about the Second Princess. Sorry, I really am." Then he bowed continuously.

The king and queen was the first one to recover their sense. They sign Lianz to take his leave with the recorder.

"I am really sorry your majesties, your Highnesses—" Istel cut him off as she said.

"King and Queen, Felix and Nilet was the representative of the school. It's natural that they are both sticking to each other. I hope, you won't blame Lianz about that." She bowed and said politely.

Felix was stunned because she stood for Lianz but he still smirk. Her telling his parent's about Nilet and him was so thoughtful. Wasn't it?

"You two go ahead now. You still have school. I will tell Mr. Lee to take care of it." The majesties said as they shooed them away.

Istel was still awkward as they went the school. It's so regretful that she had to say that thing. It was so embarrassing.

Argh! I am going crazy! Why did I told Lianz that I love Felix?? That is actually very... a decision she totally regretted now.

If she didn't said that, what can she say to make Lianz out of her sight? Also that is a good start since Felix and her wasn't even have the slightest mood to have a harmonious relationship as husband and wife.
