Fenix who was behind them was at lost what was that voice it was familiar yet unclear ever since coming to this world he only remember little something here and there but other then that he can't recall much he touched his head would it call upon him again? It seemed extremely worried about him. Rosemary couldn't tell with the crown prince expression on his face.
Fenix took a step forward he wore a light blue dress he bowed his head.
"Greeting Your Majesty the Empress, I am the youngest daughter of Winchester Household it's pressure to meet you my name is..." Fenix clenched his jaw tightly.
"Millie Sally Winchester," Fenix said in a kind and respectful manner. Happy mother made your stupid daughter proud.
"Pleasure, it seem like you wish to marry off Millie not Evette," The Queen Penelope said.
"Yes your majesty because Evette will succeed as the duchy," Rosemary said kindly and touched Fenix shoulder who flinched but didn't move away.
"The duchy will face big problems in the future I have her majesty will understand."
It won't matter that much since the engagement was made in a hurry of our childhood none of us had a choice in this matter. Actually what the Imperial Family desire is the bond of our houses together. But speaking of which the aura surrounded Rohan is much different from when he was a child it's much more dense full of killing instinct. For him to understand this he must have killed thousands up thousands of people. He knows this much better then anyone about this fact but not only that his spiritual energy is also powerful even when it's suppressed to the the lowest level.
"Pleasure to meet your highness my name is Millie Sally Winchester," Fenix said with a sweet and bright smile on his face.
Rohan glared at Fenix he then smirked and he touched his chin.
"Right."
What is with that smile?
He didn't know if he threw that smile because he knows who he is or because he is mocking him.
Ugh who wants to marry any arrogant bastard Sally wish you good luck with this husband of yours. But was it simply a greeting toward Sally as kindness from him either way he must get this over with he feeling like spacing out at this moment.
He really can't read this person mind.
"Do you wish to tell something Lady Millie?" Rohan asked Fenix.
"Pardon me? Sorry your highness for my rudeness we just meant how can I dare wish for anything," Fenix said.
You are the one who told him not to forget but you are the one who forgot what kind of idiot and jerk ass are you?
"Rohan Dear, your thoughts are the most important. Not to lady Evette as promised, so what do you to the marriage with Lady Millie instead?" Queen Penelope asked her dear son who looked at Rohan who was staring at him but also looking away.
His curly indigo ble disheveled has grown to cover all his forehead, there is a firm beauty mark blew his cold turquoise eyes. Rohan is known to be the most handsomest man throughout the empire. With bearing close resembles to the empress is mother and also has father handsome figure. Having reached a high level swordsmanship at the age of fifteen, he accomplished and brilliantly swordsmanship that triumphed over many battlefield. That's right unlike him he is born to be a rule unlike him who is fake he is born to be a real person.
"I don't mind as long as she is the lady of Winchester Household."
Maybe that's why he put on that smile as long as it's someone who has the last name Winchester it doesn't matter who he marries.
You also need the Winchester Family huh?
Fenix looked at Rohan you can have it it's not like you even know his real gender or real name what he likes or dislike it doesn't matter allow the Winchester and the royal family be happy.
"The Crown Prince content and prove of this, his majesty will also most likely agree to this as well."
"Thank you Majesty."
"Since they have encounter each other it's best for them to get to know each other for sometime."
"Shell excuse myself first, come along my lady."
Fenix just wanted to die and shoot this guy.
He clapped his hands together with a bright smile.
"Yes Your Highness."
They walked down the hallway together Fenix was quiet as mouse he didn't say anything he was in deep thought.
Fenix was clenching and unclenching his fits but he also bit his nail time to time.
"Is it habit of yours to clench your fists and bit your nails."
Piss off.
Fenix hide his hands behind his back.
"Sorry it must be because I am nervous."
Rohan held out his hand they were scars.
"This is how my hand looks after picking up a sword."
Is he trying to scary him off?
"I thought I had nothing to worry about if it were you," Rohan said his eyes looked at Fenix gently.
"Me? But your highness this is the first time we are meeting your highness."
"The first time? So be it then," Rohan said angrily,
What's up with him it's as if he is angry at him like he cheated on him.
"Are you certain that today is our first meeting?" Rohan asked Fenix.
Is he trying to figure him out? If he was able to keep a secret the fact he is a boy for fifteen years of his life does this asshole think he can figure him out just by few words? But he didn't ask out of certainty so no need to be truthful.
"If not now then where have I ever meant your highness before I grew up in the countryside so it would be impossible for me to meet the crown prince," Fenix said he had all the lies lined for him.
Rohan chuckled.
"Interesting."
"I will show you around the imperial palace follow me."
His meeting with Rohan was more memorable than what he thought it would. He was actually patient with him when he looked at things and didn't rush him at all. He felt a peace of mind in the palace not like the mansion where he feel like the life out of him is about to rush out. It only be perfect if he didn't threw him that mysterious smile every so often.
Memory
"Lies, you are lying again. I see you aren't alright when you say you are alright but you aren't right Evy?"
Fenix looked at Rogan it was the first time of them meeting but Fenix clenched his teeth together and he clenched his fists before he released them and bit his nail.
"Can tell by just looking at your scarlet yes Evy, I can tell how you are feeling at the moment."
End of Memory
As a child he used to fear that every smile of Rohan could expose what he was truly seeing it felt like he could understand the chaos that was running in his mind. He hasn't changed his smile is much more cunning and you never know if it's kindness of just cruelness that he has within his heart. His a heart of a true villain.
What should he do he can't allow something so difficult ruin his plans. Rohan if you dare ruin his plan he worked so hard don't blame him for being rude. Rohan the Evy you remember the kind and sweet Evy has long died along side her butler nanny, so he is sorry to say this but the path we walk on won't lead us together plus with the truth being uncovered one day you won't even look at him.
Even if Rohan recognize him or tries to interfere with him disappearing it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter he has the power to protect to protect himself now.
The obsession that the four house want and many people in the world have is magic. for him he has great amount of magic that he had to create spell after spell to control his own power it seems like there was another ancient seal on his body as well. He is a powerful mage magic he now has nine cycle as a nine cycle mage at age fifteen he would be known as a rare genius in the empire but he wouldn't dare expose that that witch of mother would find away to suck the magic out of him.
What kind of expression would they have when they find out that a genius like him is the one that they have been seeking for?

"What did the crown prince say?"
"Nothing important."
"That's good. Her majesty wishes to hasten the marriage. We will officially announce your annulment of Evette engagement tomorrow. The news of the engagement to Millie will be in a month, the in the another month will be the marriage."
"Having a wedding in two months is quicker then I thought," Fenix said to his mother he looked at her.
"You can be Evette until the engagement. But also this will be depending on the situation they will be times when we need you to act as Sally. The two of you will completely switch place in a month time on the engagement day."
"I thought you wanted us to switch places right away why wait?" Fenix asked her.
"I can't have my daughter show up as Millie right away they are much she must learn. She grew up in a poor house hold. Since she will be receiving the same education that you had when you were a child everything will be fine. I will hide her face as much as I can until my daughter can mimic you to the book. It's just until my daughter is ready I will allow you to have the tale as Evette for right now but remember the First Lady of the house goes to my real child."
She will grasp everything much quicker than that fake thing since she is my real daughter.
You better teach her everything mother because he won't be the one joining the imperial palace it will be your fucking daughter not her him. So mother you want to play chessboard let's see who can make this play out the way they want.
