83 Chapter 81: The Official Return (2/2)
”I love you so much...” Luther touched Ivery's soft cheek and smiled with overflooding warmth in his heart
”I...love...you..” Ivery mumbled in her sleep
Luther was slightly taken by surprise and gently smiled at her unconscious response.
...
When Ivery woke up she was shocked to see that she had woken up with Luther in bed right next to her. She didn't think he would stay with her overnight, not that she was going to complain about it.
A few hours after Ivery woke up she found out from two maids that Julian had already announced at a royal and noble gathering event that she was once again crown princess Inanna, and revealed that her status demotion was a ploy in order to trick their enemies into thinking that their countries strongest royal and the second infinite attribute holder was now powerless.
Everyone had taken the news in well and they all praised Julian for his smart ways of thinking.
The announcement quickly spread to other countries and they thought it all made sense. There was no way a person favored by a god would suddenly lose their magic under that god's watch. Then several people reported to have seen princess Inanna and prince Luther together during her faked banishment, everyone concluded that everything had been faked after all.
Ivery didn't think that she would've overslept, the maids would normally wake her up and have her outfit fully prepared in the morning, but it was already noon and no one had come inside the room.
But now that she thought about it, the maids probably didn't even bother since her status wasn't reinstated at the time and they thought it wouldn't be necessary to wake up a useless princess.
She glared at the two maids she was speaking to.
”Who is normally in charge of waking me up?” Ivery asked
”The..head maid.” One of the maids responded
”Take me to her.” Ivery said
”Yes, your highness.” The maids slightly bowed and proceeded to lead the way to the head maid
Ivery followed behind them.
...
They opened the doors to the maids quarters and all of the maids gasped and bowed to Ivery once they saw her.
”Where is your head maid?” Ivery asked them
They all looked at a middle-aged woman who had her jet blue hair in a bun and her orange-colored eyes looked at Ivery.
”I am the head maid.” She kept herself bowed in front of Ivery
”Why wasn't I woken up for the event my father held?” Ivery crossed her arms and the aura she gave off was suppressing
”We...had assumed that the emperor wouldn't have wanted you there...” The head maid said as her heart raced, feeling anxious within Ivery's presence
”You assumed? Who gave you the right to make your own decisions?” Ivery stepped closer to the head maid
”Forgive me! I have wronged you!” The head maid quickly got down on her knees and kneeled down at Ivery's feet
Ivery looked down at the head maid with a scoff.
”Stand up.” Ivery ordered
The head maid sweated and shakily stood up.
Just as the head maid stood up, she was instantly slapped.
”That's a warning, don't let it happen again.” Ivery narrowed her eyes at the head maid who held her red cheek
Ivery knew this maid was cursing at her in her head. The one thing maids hate most is royalty. Ivery decided that she needed to assert her dominance over them, or they'll think that they could get away with anything they wanted to because she was too affable.
Ivery walked out of the maids quarters and as soon as the doors closed all of the maids sighed with relief and chattered about what had just happened.
