Greisy's steps stopped when she was asked to sit on a four-legged chair right in front of the Crown Prince who had sat down first.
Without anything in the middle, the two of them were facing each other, Greisy and Cyrill Edzhar Haeland– the Crown Prince.
Greisy lowered her head. She felt, it was very inappropriate to return the Crown Prince's gentle gaze. Actually she also felt inappropriate when she had to sit while the military nobles were seen just standing behind and beside the Crown Prince and then another military noble in a black uniform was seen standing beside her.
"Be Useless!" The look in Crown prince's gentle eyes quickly turned into violent. Greisy's body began to shiver with fear seeing those eyes.
Once!
She had seen those violent eyeballs once in her life. On that day, she was still unable to return a gaze like that, or even only to answer the sentence of the owner of the gaze. But now,
"Why should I be useless when I've mastered more than 4 tribal skills?" She was able to answer those words and even dared to return the glare even though Greisy's heart still felt fear.
Everyone there were shocked,
Not a single noble of the room believed that Greisy was able to resist the order from the Crown Prince whom they recognized as a two-faced man.
He hid his cruelty and only showed his good side in front of many people. But when his ruthlessness was shown even with just a glance, it should be impossible for a foolish person to dare say a word or even breathe.
"Hmm!" The Crown Prince smiled wryly at Greisy who had averted her eyes, "Then Well, just pretend to be!" command him for second time.
"But.."
"Do you think you're able refusing this order just like that?" said the man in the red military uniform that standing behind the Crown Prince. He was the main Classa–A pure noble from the Haeland family, Leon Awhell Haeland. He had a high position as the Crown Prince's Trust – Right-Hand Classa was his title.
"That's not what I mean." Greisy started to lower her head again. She just didn't want to cause trouble while she had been hated by a lot humans.
"It seems that everyone really hates you, right? What if they find out that you have disobeyed the Crown Prince's order? I'm sure they will hate you even more and more." A man in black uniform who standing to the right of the Crown Prince seemed to give a subtle warning. He was the Main Classa– A pure noble who came from the Arsihean family, Loir Xyle Arsihean– who held a high position as Counselor of the Crown Prince– Advisor Classa was his title.
"Why? Why do you need me, Your Majesty?" asked Greisy quietly, in a weak tone she seemed resigned. How come? Wasn't she only a neglected woman? How could the woman like her had any other choice but to just carry out the order, "I think there are so many people whom being able taking your order. Why..."
"I just don't want to be your king and to be the king of all the humans in this country. Then be useless's very suit for your position. I order you, just make me fail to be the king of this country, and you'll be fine!"
"But I will die if I do that," interrupted Greisy quickly with sad eyes, "Every one in this country will hate me for the rest of my lives bacause of being a useless wife to the Crown Prince. What's my mistake? Why should I be chosen, Your Majesty?" Greisy continued to express her heart.
Really, everyone now believed what they saw in front of their eyes.
Greisy was not a fool who was easily deceived, a fool who would take the title of Crown Princess for granted and a fool who would indulge in luxury and marry the future king of her country easily.
"You have no other choice but only to survive and wait for your death!" said the man in black uniform who was standing beside Greisy. He was the Main Classa– A pure noble who came from the Alley family– Zion Dean Alley, who had the important position of protecting the Crown Prince – Protector Classa was his title.
"That's right." Right-Hand Classa spoke again. Confirming his friend's answer and putting pressure on Greisy to immediately accept the order, "If you refuse, surely, you will suffer because of the hatred of the people in this Exile Area. If you take, you will also suffer because you will receive the hatred of the entire population of our country. But you must remember one thing, if you accept this order, you will not suffer alone anymore, you will come out of the Exile and you have a Crown Prince who will love you even if he's just pretending."
"Choose wisely or you will regret it!" The Protector Classa that stood beside Greisy also put pressure on Greisy.
"Hm," Greisy smiled wryly, as if the woman was no longer afraid of the death. Her eyes were red with anger. She no longer hesitated to look into the eyes of the Crown Prince in front of her and the Crown Prince also did not expect that Greisy would dare to look at him with such an annoyed gaze "Could it be that I still have other options?" Greisy growled, she asked the question for the Crown Prince who had stopped talking.
"Hmm, what do you mean?" The Crown Prince smiled faintly at the annoyance in Greisy's eyes but he seemed to like her courage.
"If you want me, no matter what my choice is, you will definitely force me, won't you? Moreover I already know the reason why the Crown Prince wants me to be useless, for sure, if I don't carry out this order then today I will die at your hands or be thrown into the prison," Greisy replied with tears starting to fall down her cheeks.
She thought that her efforts all this time would bring a good opportunity, she thought that one day she would be recognized after waiting for quite a long time, she thought that a luck would come to her way, but the last was, all in vain as her life would soon become useless.
"If you understand then get ready! You will be the Crown Princess soon and if you refuse, dying is not a good thing for you, but living with insults and curses I think is more fun to watch you from a distance," threatened the Crown Prince while developing a mischievous smile which was so wide and clear.
He smiled cheerfully mocking Greisy, belittling the woman's cries and even looking at Greisy with contempt.
"Are– are you satisfied now, Your Majesty?" replied Greisy as she gritted her teeth in anger at being forced to take the order.
"Well, it's more than happiness. Hm!" The Crown Prince started to stand up then stepped out of the way, "Zion, take care of her for me!" while giving order to the Protector Classa to guard Greisy and to make sure she did not leave.
"All right, Cyr!"
"Why me? Why should be me? Tell me where do I got wrong! " asked Greisy to the man beside her.
"Your wrong is living in this world and being discovered by Cyrill. If you manage to marry Ewald Alley, you probably won't suffer more than now. So blame yourself for breathing in this world, Lady!" The Protector Classa answered so casually and without the slightest feeling of guilt.
Useless!
All her efforts were in vain. Why did she have to try so hard in the past if she would end up being useless?
"Ahhh!" moaned she so emotionally, still sitting on the chair because of strict guard for her that day.
