Chapter 121 - Be patient

" Where is the Duke?" Evelyn wasn't willing to go anywhere with Akris, her eyes has been long set on the position of the crown princess. She long knew that her father was waiting for the Crown prince to take a look at them before sucking up to him, ever since the Emperor had gotten sick last summer the officials have slowly started to stick closer to the Crown prince. Her father, Viscount Nighthorse was also one of those officials but the thing was that her father's position was a bit low and he couldn't get close to the crown prince like the Dukes and rich merchants. Their family was declining in wealth and they had no other assets with which they could curry favour with the Crown prince.
