Chapter 464 - Princess (1/2)
*UNEDITED*
Mist Kingdom- Month J- Manor Ball
To change the Kingdom, to change the empire as Lyn was a naive thought. She knew that from the very start. But ever since her brother took her to the battle field, Lyn has thought this way. If there is something she can do for the people. Her mother is not a bad ruler, even now Lyn thought that way. Neither was the previous King. The only reason why so many people hate her mother is due to her defending the previous King.
What traits does a good leader have? It differs per person. But one of the key characteristics is charisma. A charismatic person
She thinks she may have taken this Princess role a bit lightly.
Lyn thought she understood the meaning of revealing her identity. But it turns out that is not the case after all. Back-to-back meetings, greeting people, inspections and an entire load of paperwork. She never thought she would be this busy.
”This is my favourite song, let's dance.”
Allen reached over and grabbed hold of her arm. ”Are you done messing around? Your favourite song, what happened to the last one?”
Lyn sighed. ”But when you get all silent and broody I get bored.”
”Didn't you say I could act how I please when we are together?”
”We are still in public.”
'But I did say that to him.' Lyn sat back down on her chair. She does not understand the meaning of such gatherings. No matter how many times she attend these events, Lyn found it pointless. To think the life of an elite is like this. A deep sigh crossed her lips as her gaze fell on the sight before her. She felt a particular dark gaze on her and glanced over at the source.
It was one of the women who she was speaking with earlier.
”A friend?” Allen asked.
Lyn laughed. ”I'm still new to this circle, do you think I would have any friends here?”
”I'm aware.”
”It makes me wonder what she is looking at. This expensive dress that is too heavy and restricts my freedom to move. These jewels that do match the outfit, and only serve the purpose of showing of my wealth. Or,” she turned to him. ”Perhaps it is due to the person beside me.”
Allen sighed. ”You do not have to pay any attention to them. But just so I would know, who is that?”
”Anne Accius.”
”...”
Lyn saw a strange look on his face and chuckled. ”Did you hear her name before?”
”I have. I didn't know she was a real person.”
”Aha,” she laughed. ”I understand. Aren't you lucky? Your future wife is so pretty and wise. She can deal with jealous girls despite living isolated for so long.”
”That is true, you are cute.”
At that comment her eyes widened. She didn't think he would say something like that. 'I underestimated being a Princess, but it seems I underestimated Allen's feelings for her too.'
A part of her understood it a long time ago too. Allen probably likes her. All the time she spent convincing herself that he didn't like her was a sham. It was all a lie.
”Anyway what's with this party? Isn't it more boring than usual.”
”I understand that you don't like to judge people by rank. But this is expected from a family with a third rate family.”
”Hmm, but the other parties aren't any better.”
”You won't find a single party that you would like.” Allen trailed off. ” I hate to inform you that these parties are every bit boring.”
