Chapter 96 The Sister’s Scheme 1 (2/2)
”My fiancee said it is okay. You don't need to burdened any further.” Regaleon took a step between me and the noble woman. He was looking at her with coldness.
”T-Then I will taking my leave, your highnesses.” The noble woman looked frightened with Regaleon's stare. She gave a curtsy and hurriedly left.
I looked at my dress and sighed. The red wine left a stain.
”I think I need to change Leon.” I said. ”I have a spare gown in my lounge room.”
”Do you like me to accompany you?” Regaleon asked.
”No need. I will be quick.” I replied. ”And some of the high ranking nobles are walking this way. I am sure they would like to talk to you.”
”Hmph, they just want to curry favor from me and Grandcrest.” Regaleon said sarcastically.
”But you still need to act, being you are the crown prince of Grandcrest.” I smiled teasingly and winked at him. ”Don't worry, I will be back shortly.”
I gave him a peck on his cheek.
”Be quick. It is lonely without you by my side.” Regaleon said teasingly and I giggled.
I turned around and walked towards where the lounge rooms are located.

(Regaleon's POV)
It has been a while since Alicia left to change her gown. I have been talking to high nobles since she left.
”Sorry, I need to excuse my self for a while.” I said.
”Of course your highness.”
”It's was good talking to you, your highness.”
”Please go ahead crown prince.”
I nodded my head and left.
”Dimitri.” I whispered and in no time Dimitri was walking right behind me.
”Yes your highness?” Dimitri said.
”Show me the way to Alicia's lounge room.” I ordered.
”Right this way your highness.” Dimitri led the way.
We walked towards the lounge rooms and arrived in front of a door. Dimitri gestured respectfully that this was Alicia's lounge room.
I knocked twice. ”Alicia.” There was no response.
”Alicia, I am coming in.” I said. I gestured to Dimitri to stay outside and guard the door.
I came inside the room and closed the door. I scanned inside, and at the far corner I see Alicia seating on a chair with her back facing me.
'She is still wearing her stained gown?' I thought it to be curious. I can feel something is wrong.
I walked towards her carefully.
”Lili, are you okay?” I asked.
When I was coming near her I smelled a fragrant scent. The scent was coming from an incense burner in front of Alicia.
”This smell!” I covered my nose with my hand quickly. But it was too late. I have inhaled some of the smoke.
”I have been waiting for you, your highness.” It was not Alicia's voice.
The woman seating in front of me turned around, it was Veronica.
