Chapter 142 We are Family 1 (2/2)

”Well last night, I was so worried that you haven't gotten back when it was late. But then Theon informed me that you would be spending the night in prince Regaleon's residence.” Tricia said. ”So, did you get to the last base with the prince.” She giggled teasingly.

I felt a blush crept on my cheeks. ”T-That...we didn't go all the way.” I said with a low voice that only Tricia would hear.

”Oh my, so you really did some naughty things with the prince. I have to applaud prince Regaleon with his strong will power to not go all the way.” Tricia giggled. ”So, is the prince good? Did you enjoy his naughty actions?”

”Tricia, don't tease me.” I pouted at her. Tricia giggled even more with my action.

”Prince Gladiolus of Jennova has arrived.” Theon announced.

I look their way and a young man with platinum blonde hair was walking towards me. He was wearing a light gray suit and pants. Like Regaleon, their was a regal aura enveloping his whole being.

I stood up from my seat to greet him. ”Good afternoon prince Gladiolus.”

”Good afternoon princess Alicia.” Prince Gladiolus greeted back.

”Please, have a seat.” I gestured the seat across me.

”Thank you.” Prince Gladiolus smiled in response and took a sit. I too take my seat after.

”I don't know what tea you prefer so I let them prepare black tea.” I said with a smile. ”I hope this is to your liking.”

As for me I like jasmine tea because of it's aroma. But as prince Gladiolus is a man, I thought he would like something much stronger.

”Black tea is good. Thank you.” Prince Gladiolus replied.

Theon was the one to serve us tea. With precision and elegance, he poured the tea to our cups. After that, Theon took his place by the side to wait on us.

”Your butler looks like a capable person.” Prince Gladiolus said.

I looked confused, why would prince Gladiolus compliment my butler. I look at Theon who was standing by the side, he was wearing a serious expression and his eyes were focused on us.

Regaleon was the one to assign Theon to me, so I know how capable he is.

”Theon is a really capable and dependable butler.” I told the prince and he nodded as a reply.

Prince Gladiolus took a sip from his cup before looking at me once again.

”Princess Alicia, I have something I want to talk to you about.” Prince Gladiolus said.

I looked at him confused. ”You can speak freely, prince Gladiolus.” I replied.

”Before that, you can call me by my name. In return, can I call you by yours?” Prince Gladiolus said with a smile.

I was a little surprised by his words. We haven't been acquainted for long and was not close. But he wants us to call each other by name.

”I guess it's fine.” I answered. I don't feel any hostility ir bad intentiond around him, so I agreed.

”Then Alicia, have you ever thought why the both of us has the same shade of hair and color of eyes?” The prince asked.

I had a curious look. I have already

suspected something and have been thinking about it the first time I saw him. But after the incidents that happend these past few days, this was pushed back on my mind.

The prince smiled at my reaction. ”I know that you have knowledge of your lineage, princess. You don't need to be wary of me because we are family.” He took a sip of his tea casually.

My eyes went wide in surprise.
