“Raoul, are you okay?”On the dance floor, Raoul regained his senses when Princess Elle rebuked him in a low voice. When the king saw Princess Elle's worried face, the man finally realized that he was dancing in the middle of the dance floor with the princess. Many people step aside to give them more space to dance. The atmosphere was made so solemn, that people might misunderstand the current status of the two.In fact, Raoul was forced to use his first chance to dance with Princess Elle because people kept pushing him to do so. They said Raoul and Princess Elle should be able to show that the two kingdoms have been on good terms at the ball this time. Not to mention, Princess Elle also looked like she wanted to dance with Raoul. The king felt he couldn't let Princess Elle down, especially when many people had been watching their interactions ever since the two of them had been seen talking together.“I'm fine. You don't have to worry, Elle.”Even though Raoul said that, even when Ra

Hearing the woman's screams and the mention of 'Her Grace', General Dion finally realized his mistake and hastily lowered his sword again. From start to finish, the girl who had been threatened just smiled gently while looking at them. The girl stopped as her maid was about to put on her body for her. Furthermore, the girl even introduced herself respectfully to Princess Elle.“Sorry if I startled you, Your Highness. Then, please forgive my maid's disrespect as well. I, Duchess Alison, greet Her Highness, Princess Elle. May health and prosperity always be with you.”Princess Elle was completely shocked when she realized that this beautiful girl in front of her was someone Raoul always talked about in his spare time. Even if Ariana was currently wearing simple clothes, Princess Elle still couldn't stop admiring the girl's beauty and strength. Ariana should have an age that is not much different from Princess Elle. However, both her appearance and demeanor looked very different from Pri

After Princess Elle ran away from Ariana just like that, Duchess Alison spent the rest of the day thinking about what the princess had said to her. Even Marquis Curtis had said the same thing to Ariana before. People wanted Ariana to open her heart to Raoul, so she could see how sincerely the king had loved her all along.Indeed, Ariana needs a partner as soon as possible. But the fear that she'd screw things up by marrying Raoul made Ariana rethink everything. The girl had been daydreaming all day. And even if she sleeps, the girl can't get a good night's sleep.On that day, Ariana dreamed of something she had forgotten even in her previous life. She dreams about her childhood life. In the dream, she returns to being an eleven-year-old Ariana who doesn't know much. At that time, she had just lost both of her parents and was forced to live with her grandfather in the main residence of the Alison family.For Ariana, who was used to being spoiled by her parents, Duke Andrew was too stri

Along the way, Raoul was so nervous like seeing Ariana was a big deal. After they were almost out of touch due to their busy schedules, Raoul was afraid that Ariana would feel awkward if they suddenly met. However, Marquis Curtis had assured him that Ariana would not be angry even if Raoul came without making an appointment beforehand. That point alone proved that Ariana did have a soft spot for the king.“Your Majesty, we have arrived.”Raoul's heart skipped a beat when Captain Allen informed him that they had managed to enter the gates of Alison's residence with ease. Ariana really made it easy for him. Raoul's ears slowly turned red, as he felt ashamed of his thoughts.As soon as Raoul got off his horse carriage, the man saw that Ariana was also ready to go somewhere in her carriage. The king suddenly felt he couldn't say anything. His spirits dropped drastically when Raoul felt that his visit to Ariana was actually disturbing the girl's activities.“Aria, I ….”Raoul was at a loss

When Ariana finally arrived at the garden behind her house, she could see that Princess Elle had been sitting on one of the chairs she prepared, with General Dion standing behind her. When Princess Elle noticed Ariana's arrival, the princess immediately stood up to welcome the future queen of the Sigmund Kingdom.“Greetings, Duchess Alison. I hope I didn't bother you by coming today.”After their awkward parting a few months ago, Ariana was a little relieved when she saw that Princess Elle seemed to have forgotten about the incident. Ariana also gave formal greetings to the princess. The woman bowed gracefully, then returned the greeting from Princess Elle.“Long time no see, Your Highness. It is an honor for me to welcome you into my residence.”Princess Elle smiled after she heard Ariana's greeting. “I hope you're not being too formal with me, Duchess Alison. After all, you'll soon be Queen of the Kingdom of Sigmund,” she said cheerfully. But in the next second, she slightly regrett
