"Father, nice meeting you again." The chatting suddenly stopped when they heard a voice behind them. Father Grey looked behind and was fascinated of Felix.
He was shocked that made him speechless for a second, "... I-I... You can lift your head your highness." He bowed to Felix which Felix stopped him to.
Felix movement's was so graceful and decent. That made Father Grey trust Felix more.
Istel lifted a brow. "You said you had something to do. We won't bother you any longer. Let's go dad!" She pushed her dad into the car with carefulness.
Before leaving, her dad open the window shield of this car, "Son-in-law, come and visit us soon ~~!" Then went away. Staring at the disappearing car, he shook his head confusedly.
In the meantime, Father Grey didn't know what to do since William was the one who's driving the car. He looked at Istel happily.
"Daughter... I really can't believe you married the Third Prince. I am so proud to you! Look at him earlier, he's so polite! Look at how he stood behind us, oh... my son-in-law is the best!!" He exclaimed grinning.
Istel giggled, "How about Izara's husband? Hmm??" She asked wanting to tease her dad.
Her dad looked at her, "Of course! Although he is not a royalty, he is a trustworthy person."
All the way to their house, Father Grey didn't do anything beside him saying good things about Felix. She was about to become convince when she pondered that she actually doesn't know him so it's honestly difficult to say what his personality really was.
Of course, she felt regret that she didn't visit them for two weeks already. She wanted to however, she was busy and her schedule was very hectic.
When they arrived, Father Grey opened the door which Isha greeted them. She wasn't informed that her Older sister would be here thus when she saw Istel, she was jumping in bliss.
She gripped to Istel's hand which Istel found it so cute.
"Sister, sister... why didn't you come here?? You said you'll visit us... *sobs*" Isha cried saying she miss her sister.
Istel melted at her cute words. "Aww... don't worry baby, I will try to visit you frequently. We didn't saw each other for two weeks, you don't want a hug??" Isha after hearing her, immediately ran and hug her tightly.
William and JinJin pinched her cute, squishy cheeks. Isha smiled tenderly to them.
Istel carried her all the way inside the house, "Are you studying well?" Like a good older sister, she reminded Isha to study well so that father and mother will be happy.
"Mmhmm." She cutely said. She put Isha down and Isha run to William and JinJin.
"Hi sister JinJin and brother William!!!" She cutely spread her arms to JinJin and hugged her. It was a tight hug that she almost choke.
Mother Grey was so happy seeing them again. "You finally visited us! Your father told me that your husband is busy these days. Don't forget to visit us with him, alright?" Istel just nodded to her.
She was uncertain if he would have any time for her family to visit with her. Looking at the current situation, she's afraid it will take quite a long time before they visit her family.
Observing around, she felt there were something missing.
She turned around to face her mom. "Mom, where's Izara and Iyablue?" She was excited to see them but they seemed not here.
Mother grey sighed heavily somewhat problematic, "Izara decided to live with her husband so as Iyablue decided to rent an apartment where she's near to her work. I am really sad and lonely to see all of you were gone, it seems like yesterday when all of you were just kids, but look at now, all of you were busy." She inhaled heavily.
She went to her mother's side, "Mom, don't worry about us! We are still alive don't think negatively. Otherwise your wrinkles will turn uglier. Besides, we all can visit you!" She said convincing her mom so she won't be lonely anymore.
"Oh and I am planning on eating here until dinner! How about that?" She excitedly asked.
Mom grey pinched her arms and demanded her that she must help.
From that, what they talked about was regarding her life aa a princess. She didn't talk much about it since she wasn't living that long as a princess.
She also informed them about Lianz confessing to her. She whined that she couldn't accept him for the fact that she already had a husband. Father Grey hit her hard that it was red. And Istel just pouted.
They bid farewell after the dinner. Istel feels sad again because she wasn't sure when could see visit them again.
After showering, she felt a sudden uneasiness regarding Lianz. What would happen? It feels... kind of unusual and... uncomfortable especially whenever I felt this, there is something that awaits for her or for them.
•°♣♣°•
Sure enough, when they arrived in the school, there was a rumour that she was cheating and it was plastered on the information table of their school. That's the most annoying thing she had ever seen in her life.
When she saw their picture, she almost vomited blood. Can't they see that they were just talking in the woods?
Also, who was the one who deliberately took a picture of them? It was utterly unread for not knowing the context at all.
The students began on increasing the rumour gossiping to each other while whispering. Hazel An was just leisurely watching her as she was about to explode at anytime now.
She ripped the picture and her phone rang. Looking at the ID of the caller, she almost stumbled on the floor. It was freaking 'Old Man Lee'. Argh!!! She wants to die without blood at this rate.
She unsteadily answered the call, "Yes, hello."
["Greetings, your highness. The king and Queen wished to see your presence here in the palace. Third Prince will accompany you."]
She looked at the ripped picture, "Now?"
["Yes, your highness, now."]
Istel didn't answer instead hang up madly. Doomed! What can she do rather than to obey their demand? Argh!
Hazel approached her, "The King and Queen must've heard the news. I wonder what would your highness will do." Just like a villainess, her tone of voice and the way she talked was enough for her to feel utterly annoying!!!
She reckoned that Nilet and Hazel is doubtless cousins! They were both so annoying.
Istel looked at William and JinJin, "I have to go..." Then leave the place.
She weakly walk and saw Felix waiting for her not until he said this, "Disgusting." It was a word that wasn't loud and wasn't that low either, but for her, it was enough to hear clearly.
Fuming in anger, what she could so is to control her madness at a very bad timing.
Who the heck captured that picture?!!!!
Someone really loathed her for marrying the Prince. If it's not Nilet, then who else could be the perpetrator? But Nilet seems shocked earlier. She even covered her mouth and asked Zina when did Lianz and me talked to each other in the woods.
She seems superficial at the situation, but for now, let's say it's her fault, with uncertainty.
Nilet is sticking to Felix like glue so it's possible that she saw me walking towards the woods and followed ne silently. But that doesn't make sense at all! If she's busy enough to stick to Felix, she wouldn't have time to follow me either.
Add the fact that the picture was taken aesthetically. Argh! They were both smiling on that picture!
Now, the tension in the car was even more suffocating than the first time they ride this car. It's possible that Felix is mad, even though Nilet was always beside him, he didn't done anything bad so it can be a form of respecting her.
Anyways, why would he furious about it? He like Nilet... so he should be happy he'll get a chance to marry Nilet. But his face doesn't look happy instead it was dark and scary.
He was gazing outside while she is biting her lower lip.
Arriving at the gate of the palace, she sighed all the way inside. She was so nervous that she didn't know what to do at all. For her, this id totally nerve wracking than when Felix and her first met.
If the royalties will took her title, she will be a laughingstock of all the royalties. If it's like that, then the news title would be, 'Istel Red Lim, the princess who cheated and was taken off her title which she had just for two weeks.'
It will really be a good and a viral news for all the reporters. The citizens will bombard her and of course, the fake accusing will took place too.
Passing through several maids, doors, and paths... the King and Queen's waiting area is near... like... near.
