Khalid flinched at her statement
'shot to death'?
He asked the lapiz who was yawning
'thats right, in the end the work I have been doing got too serious and the contracter broke the contract and killed me including the people's who worked on this operation'
She shrugged with brushing of the fact however her eyes looked angry yet sad
'i see then I shall take my leave', I hope you are able to properly use your body soon as an important event is coming'
Khalid bowed and left the room with Sebastian, lily stayed behind and washed lapiz's leg

[Ah ri I think we should not do this one]
A blurry image of yuna appeared in her mind, it was a memory she had in her past
[Why yuna? This one gives us 50 million as a reward, we will be a millionaire with it]
[Its way too dangerous and that man, he is too suspicious]
[We can try this you know, if it seems dangerous we can withdraw]
[Alright but make sure to withdraw if it is dangerous]

'your up'?
Lapiz could see lily standing in front of her, the room was bright like sun, lapiz woke from her bed while lily started washing her body with a cloth
'my lady, why don't you hold a tea party'?
Lily asked lapiz who tilted her head
'you mean that event where lady's gather to gossip'?
She asked back, lily chuckled a bit at her statement and stood up
'thats right, this way you can have friends before entering the sociality'
'don't worry I don't have any intention of joining the battleground of woman's '
She said while shrugging
'hah'
'well that's quite impossible, it would have been possible if my lady was a counts or barons daughter however my lady is the daughter of the highest ranking marquis who was the duke of south'
Lapiz toke a deep sigh and started eating her food
'should I do it'
She mumbled, soon a knock from the door could be heard
'my lady this is Sebastian'
Lapiz looked at the huge door
'come in'
Sebastian entered the room with a letter in his hand
'what's wrong'?
She asked him with a curious face
'a letter from her highness the princess'
He said as he bowed
'oh you mean Charlotte de alvoa decodia'?
She asked him while tilting
'yes'
Lapiz started eating her steak while lily stood beside her
'whats in it'
She asked him while stuffing her mouth with steak
[Lady lapiz lazuli, I am happy that you are finally awake from your long slumber, my name is Charlotte de alvoa decodia, I wished to befriend you before anyone else, so apologize for my rudeness for sending a letter when you are recovering, however I would like you to come to the tea party of the princess which is hosted by me the only princess of decodia, of course you are allowed to deny this letter without any second thought, your sincerely Charlotte de alvoa decodia]
.

Sebastian stopped
'she is awfully respectful to me, why is that'
She asked Sebastian after eating the last steak piece
'as you know the lazuli is a great asset to the imperial family so they are careful with their words and action towards us'
Lapiz stood up and walked towards the closet
'i see, send her a letter about me accepting her tea party'
She said while picking a dress
'yes my lady'
Sebastian walked towards the door but stopped after hearing lapiz call him
'when is the tea party'?
She asked him
'3 days from now at 2 pm in the rose garden located in the palace'
Lapiz nodded
.
.
.
.
'i wonder if she will accept the invitation'
A small girl with curly pink hair and soft red lips, her eyes were green as an emerald, she was standing on a garden filled with various types of rose while holding a concerned expression
'don't worry your highness, lady lapiz may be older than your highness however the princess has a much higher position than that lady'
A maid with red hair tied up like a bun, she had freckles on her cheek, her eyes were brown, she had a proudful face who was in her 40s
'even though, she is still someone father told me to respect'
.
.
.
.
'i see'
Khalid said while sitting on his chair
'the imperial family has started their move, well done Leo make sure to protect her from afar like this and make sure not to get caught'
Leo nodded and left the room, Khalid sighed and looked at the reports
'i saw you yesterday, yet I want to see you again, I wonder when we will meet again my dear fiance'
[From what lapiz told me yesterday her world seemed to be more advanced than us no it's like she lived in a word which was 1000 years apart from us]
[I have to protect her, of someone were to know all these information she told us, then nothing can be fixed]
.

3 days later

'Welp I guess this would do'
Lapiz said to herself while standing in front of a mirror, she was wearing a white gown which was covered by a pink transparent cloth embroidered by rose, her beautiful hair was tied up with rose's as decorations, a long pearl lace covered her neck, she was wearing a veil similar to her dress
'this dress looks like something Egypt people wear'
She said to lily who was decorating her hair more
'i don't know what Egypt is but what I do know is that the dress my lady is wearing is the traditional dress of my lady's mother'
Lily said while shrugging she was finished with decorating lapiz a born goddess
'my lady you look so beautiful, I am sure no one will be able to insult my lady's amazing beauty'
Lily smiled brightly, while lapiz sighed
'welp here we go, to the battlefield of womans'
They both chuckled and left the room
