Chapter 116 - Dance in Victory (1/2)
[Well done, you win the first mission.]
The message in red was fascinating. So fascinating that the Princess couldn't help but post it in the forum of the school.
”This is too much, don't you think, Princess?”
Anne sipped her cup of tea. ”No… my dear Billie, to gloat on one's victories never gets enough.”
Billie was dumbfounded, but then he thought it back and nodded. It was true. If it were him, he will paint a mural the size of the entire hall wall.
”Then… what are you going to do now, Billie?”
Anne was waiting for the boy to kneel and plead for mercy, maybe even swore his loyalty to her but… one minute, another cup of tea, another fruit tart, and more minutes, with many other cups of tea and cookies involved.
However, the young man didn't say a word.
”What?”
Billie laughed, ”I won't bow to you, yet, Princess.”
Anne raised a brow and nodded.
”When?”
”There are a lot of missions there, don't get too ċȯċky.”
”I won't dare,” she said with a sigh, ”I just wanted to spare you the pain and pointless effort.”
John was also waiting by the side. He didn't want any cookie, nor to be at the same table as the Princess for a long time. The fear of playing chess with her was still inside his bones.
”Let's go,” Billie stood up and took John's hand. However, before he left the garden, he stopped and without turning his head he said, ”I will win the next mission. Beware, Princess.”
”I will wait for you.”
Anne sipped her cup of tea and continued her peaceful morning. Elton was by her side feeding Gandalf cookies, Tia was reading a book and Moira was practicing her sword skills with James.
”Sigh…” Anne looked up to the sky. Some petals from the spring flowers were dancing in the breeze. She was missing a person with emerald eyes, and also, a tiny demon with red eyes.

[Beth…
The news about the young lady of the Hesse Family traveled the world. They all knew that the Master had postponed the date to introduce the rumored heiress to the world of business.
However, it was time. It was said that she was a genius that had already finished several degrees in College with top grades.
She was even leading an investment company that she started on her own, and was now one of the most influential women below thirty years old.
The world could not be more proud to have someone like her in their ranks of humans. She was a figure that will change the course of history and the path of humanity.
The talks about her were surrounding the world.
”Do you see her?”
”I can't… there are bodyguards in the front.”
Many people were waiting to have a glimpse of her walking into the red carpet to the event. They knew she was beautiful, enchanting and a dream come true.
The reporters were fighting to get a photo of her to post on the cover. The paparazzi were waiting to see who will come to escort her. And the crowd only want to see her smile.
Then the moment they all waited for, the long limousine arrived just in time. One car was escorting it in the front and another in the back.
Then a bodyguard walked to the door of the limousine and two others were preparing themselves to stop the rush of people trying to come forward.
After the bodyguard was sure it was safe, and the crowd was silent, he opened the door.
A man in a white suit came down from the back seat. He was gorgeous. The blonde hair and the bright blue eyes were beautiful.
”On my, is that… is that?”
”Yes, it is the CEO of RED corp.”
”I can't believe it… are the rumors true? Is he her fiancé?”
”I don't know, … look!”
”I am fainting…”
The man in a white suit turned around and extended his hand to the beautiful woman in a red dress inside the limo.
She took out one leg with a high heel and then the other while she graciously moved out. Her hand was on the elegant man in a white suit helping her stand up.
The moment the crowd captured the face of the young woman. The silence was invaded and obliterated by cheers, a loud shout of love, proposals of marriage, some 'Look here, Miss Hesse', and reporters trying to capture a word from those beautiful lips.
Beth moved her hand to salute the audience, and the man in the white suit gave her his arm to escort her through the path of glamour.
”What a beautiful couple.”
”A King and a Queen…”
The words reached the ears of Adam, and he smiled. He looked at Beth for a sign too, but she was engrossed in her act of heroine of the masses.
