Chapter 133 Change (1/2)
The angel's wings were fluttering and slowly landed in the beautiful garden. She hurriedly lifted up her head and looked at the surroundings, before helplessly sighing, then stomped her feet on the ground.
”Celt, are you here?”
”What's up, Grandia?”
A white-robed girl walked out of the garden. She was holding a white wand in her hand while curiously looking at the messenger who was hovering above the ground.
”Has Her Highness Lydia come here? I'm looking for her. The Country of Light has sent their messenger here, hoping to negotiate the matter about the increasing trade flows. I wanted to report this to Her Highness first, but in the end I couldn't find her. She only left a message 'don't look for me' in the study room… but this kind of thing doesn't count, right!”
”Ah, so it's like that…”
After hearing it, the girl frowned and thought for a while, before exposing a gentle smile.
”But I think you shouldn't have to worry about it. I heard that yesterday evening, Her Highness and Grand Mage Amund left the Golden City… I think her habit of collecting has broken out once again”
”Again?”
Hearing until here, the angel maiden pressed her forehead and wryly smiled.
People who were close to Lydia knew about this habit of her. Her Highness like to collect beautiful things. Not only flowers, artwork, or animals, humans were also included. However, the way she ”judged” beauty was different compared to other people. Her Highness didn't just like beautiful appearances. She was more fascinated by those with a dazzling craft, clever mind, or bright soul and strong will. Once she found this kind of prey, she would definitely use any means to bring that person beside her to become her subordinates. It was her way of saying ”since I'm the ruler of this Kingdom, every beautiful thing in here should belong to me.”
In fact, two-thirds of Lydia's closest subordinates were all ”captured” by her because of this reason.
”Her Highness always does whatever she wants; that's why people like us are suffering.”
She took a deep breath. Then, the angel spread her wings and once again flew into the sky.
”There are still two more years; Her Highness's coming-of-age ceremony has almost come. I hope she can find a man and get married, then maybe she would even be a little more restrained… I really do not get it; there are a lot of outstanding men around her, but how come there isn't a single one who confessed to her?”
Hearing the angel girl complain, the woman only laughed and used her finger to point at her.
”Isn't it because you kept scaring them away?”
”I never did such a thing!”
Hearing until here, the beautiful angel flushed red, then quickly frowned and refuted her words.
”We're only guarding her Highness. If they were really serious about Her Highness, then they should be able to pass this kind of challenge easily! If they don't even have this kind of courage, how can they make Her Highness happy? We won't allow the incident that happened with the predecessor to happen once again!”
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but the angel girl quickly noticed that she had made a slip of the tongue, then closed her mouth and bitterly smiled.
”Since Her Highness isn't here, then I won't waste more time… Her Highness also knows about this matter and doesn't seem to forget about it, rather wanting to avoid it deliberately… In that case, we also won't look for trouble. I'll report this matter to Miss Milla and ask her to deal with this. After all, this is not the first time she's done that.”
After saying that in a hurry, as if she was hiding something, the angel girl spread out her wings. She turned into bright light and disappeared in the blue sky.
The white-robed girl looked at the angel figure that quickly disappeared. After awhile, she turned back and went inside the garden, looking at the girl who was hiding behind the bushes.
Rhode wiped his hands and looked at the room before him.
