Chapter 61 The story so far (2/2)

'Oh really?' Snow seems uninterested and resumed her curled pose. 'After two years and he just remembers you now?'

I opened the envelope and pulled the letter out. I read the letter carefully.

”It seems that I am summoned back to the palace for Veronica's debut.” I said.

Snow lifted her little head and looked at me.

'And are you going back there?' Snow said sarcastically. 'You know that place is nothing but a snakes lair.'

”I know what you mean Snow. But this is a royal summon. I cannot reject this.” I sighed.

'Then what are you planning?' Snow asked.

”There is only one option but to go back.” I said. ”Do not worry Snow, I am not the weak girl like before. But I have to play the weak princess for a while when I get back.” I smiled intently.

'Oh I'm gonna love this.' Snow got up and stretched her body. She jumped towards the table and looked at the letter I was holding. 'I would like to see how your two step sisters bully you when you get back.'

”Haha.” I giggled. ”Tricia.” I called.

After a moment Tricia came.

”Yes princess?” Tricia bowed.

”Prepare our things. I am being summoned back to the palace for Veronica's debut.” I ordered.

”Yes princess.” Tricia bowed. ”How long will we be there?”

”I am not so sure.” I said. ”Just pack things for about a week I suppose.”

Tricia bowed and was about to walk away when she stopped and looked back at me.

”If I may speak freely princess, are you sure you want to go back?” Tricia asked. ”Well I mean we are living quite comfortably here away from those snakes.

'Told you, snakes.' Snow inserted and I smiled internally.

”Well it is a royal summon, so I cannot do anything but to accept.” I smiled.

”I understand.” She sighed. ”I will pack your things then. Will you take all the maids with you or is it just me and sir Leon that will accompany you back to the capital?”

I thought for a while. ”It's better if it will be only the both of you to accompany me. The journey is long and it will be much faster for a small group to travel and less conspicuous.”

”I understand.” Tricia bowed and left.

”Going back to the palace huh?” I thought. I was rubbing Snow's fur and she was purring.

What will await me after two years away from the capital and the palace?
