ALESTERIA WANTED to disappear due to the embarrassment as she stares at Xerxes with a flushed face, her ocean blue eyes staring daggers at her father, the emperor, hoping for him to stop his childish action. Unfortunately, her dagger-like look is the equivalent of a cub gazing at a lion, and Xerxes didn't even notice it as he continued to stare down at the tiny Versormer heir. If his gaze could kill, the poor boy would be dead by now. 'This. Is. Embarrassing!' Alesteria screamed in her mind as she clenches her fists. 'That was totally unnecessary and rude! In my thousand-year experience, I have never been treated like some fragile being by anyone!' She added, her flushed face becoming redder. Although what Alesteria said is reasonable, she is also a person who hasn't been in touch with another person for a millennium, and the only companion she has is a proud dragon, an egotistical pixie, and some sweet dwarf

"BWOTHEW ALSO doesn't know why fathew hates Dwuke Vewsowmew?"Alesteria's round blue eyes stared at the sweating Aldrich as he took a step back, her gaze becoming unbearable by the second as he avoided her gaze.Aimilios stared at the two as he sipped his drink, an open book placed in front of him. He didn't bother picking up his book again because he knows the events that are about to unfold in front of him will be far more interesting.Aldrich had just returned from swordsmanship training and instead of freshening up, he went straight to the gazebo where Aimilios and Alesteria were waiting.When he arrived, Alesteria was silent but the moment her eyes landed on his sweaty figure, she asked him."Bwothew shouwd know since he is oldew."Aldrich wanted to leave but Aimilios is staring down at him.'Don't you dare…' He conveys through his eyes.It has been a week since the rumors about Alesteria a

IN THE capital, the common age for a noble child to be introduced to high society, also known as the noble's debut, is between the ages of 5-8, depending on how well they have developed. This age is reserved for children who can communicate, speak, act, and present themselves well in front of other nobles. At this age, a child's development can be witnessed, and they may still be coached by their parents on where they fall short and how to improve. Furthermore, this is not only the age at which kids will acquire fundamental etiquette and manners. They've been studying since they were able to open their eyes. Essentially, from the time they are born. It is customary to encourage children to be autonomous and accountable for their own activities, such as cleaning up their room or performing a nice deed, among other things. Some people believe that it is the small things in life that define a person. As a result, the children are

'NOTE TO self: do NOT do anything similar to this in the future,' Alesteria thought to herself as she slumped on her bed, the whole ordeal earlier exhausted her to the core. She combed through ffity gowns to select the appropriate dress for her to wear on the day of the tea party after practicing walking, something she had never believed was difficult. Honestly, it was more than fifty, but she lost track at the end due to tiredness. Even the sweets available at the time were forgotten since she was too exhausted to eat. 'I promise, after this whole thing, I'm going to ask everyone to leave me alone.' Alesteria doesn't want to come out as rude or ungrateful, but after the recent events, she just wanted everyone to leave her alone so she could recharge. She misses the solitude of the mountain in this occasion. Not only that, but Alesteria was reminded of the grueling training she had to

"PRINCESS, I think it's time to apologize."Alesteria paused for a while, her once down casted demeanor suddenly becoming melancholy as she heaved heavily, the burden in her heart easing considerably."I know. I'm fwinding a way to say sowwy." She said, her true feelings showing on her face.Tristan wasted no time and pushed right ahead, telling Alesteria that it was time to put an end to their childish dispute and make up.That is what Alesteria intends to do after supper, but Xerxes was whisked away by an issue with the accounting department before she could bring it up.So, she was thinking of other ways to apologize first.She glanced at Tristan, who was smiling kindly at her side, raising an eyebrow as to why Alesteria was just staring at him.'Maybe he could help?' She wondered to herself as she stared at Tristan.Tristan knew exactly what she was thinking, and he started the topic before she cou
