Cursed Daughter Looking for a Mate
Chapter 38 Ingkar's Promise

Ian Constain

I'm doing fine.

Julliane Yuvinere^^^^^^

Ian had been staring at the letter for an hour, his head leaning against the table. He tried to heat the paper, hoping Julliane would write the follow-up in invisible ink. However, it was still only one sentence written on the letter. "I'm fine."

Ian had originally sent a letter with enthusiasm. Over time the feeling of worry continued to rain on him, making him continue to ask the waiter about the arrival of a letter from Julliane. Today the letter came, but Julliane's answer was not as expected. Ian's wait was futile. He wants to give up.

"Do you get a reply, Your Majesty?" ask Mikael who comes every morning looking forward to the development of his master's relationship.

Ian did not answer just thrusting the letter in his hand. Mikael grabbed it and read it. He also nodded with a smile.

"It's a great start."

"What's so good? He hasn't forgiven me. The answer was very short when I had to wait for days."

"That's better than Princess Julliane saying a swear and hate on you. And it's better than Princess Julliane not to reply to His Majesty's letter."

Ian was silent to Mikael's words. His subordinate's words had a point as well. Head lifted. His determination is back again. He also wrote a letter. 

The letter was given to Mikael and another piece of paper. "Mikael observes Julliane again, this time do not go home if there is nothing important. When you get there, do my command on this paper."

Mikael glanced at the small paper, smiling knots. With this his master can gain the heart of Princess Julliane.

"For the nose to look sharp, first apply the base first. Face correction with a brighter color is applied to the middle of the nose. Next draw a line from the eyebrows to the tip of the nose with a darker contour. Flatten it first to look natural. Finally, put a highlighter on the tip of the nose. The result is like this."

Julliane asks Violet to open her eyes. As soon as he saw his face in the mirror, his eyes twinkled. His finger touching his pug nose looks to be sharp.

"You're so great, Princess Julliane."

"Thank you, Violet. Now practice what I did before the servant," the commandment of Julliane turned to the dumb waiter to see the shrewdness of the first princess of the kingdom.

Servants approached their employers holding beauty equipment. Julliane removes Violet's makeup. The waiter began to do his job. They were guided by Julliane while decorating Violet. When things go wrong, Julliane justifies it. Violet's makeup made by the waiter was done. Julliane asks them to repeat the makeup without her help. 

"Good, for the color of the lips do not be too red. Violet's thin eyebrows need to be thickened with eyebrow pencils. Everything's been good."

Julliane took a long breath. Today's work is done. Today it was Violet's servant's turn to get guidance from her. Of course, Violet was one of Ellaine's friends who came to the palace, the red-haired girl. 

Thanks to the rumors spread by Claire, many noble girls were interested in seeing Julliane's abilities. They asked Julliane to teach the servants. The result is not perfect but close to the makeup made Julliane. The noble girls were also satisfied so it was no problem.

"Thank you, Princess Julliane." Violet gave Julliane some money.

"No, I'm the one who should thank you." Julliane received the pouch with a smile.

"What do you need money for, Princess? Wouldn't the King give you anything you asked for?" violet asked curiously.

As usual the curiosity of noble girls about the lives of others is very high. Rumors that spread quickly from mouth to mouth must be because their mouths are light and want to know the secrets of others.

"I just want to buy something out of my own money" replied Julliane curiously.

Violet clapped her hands once while smiling. "Well, that's great."

Compliments for compliments by Violet. Somehow the compliment felt insincere, just trying to uphold Julliane. Feeling bored, Julliane said goodbye.

One of Ellaine's friends again. It's a good opportunity.

"It looks like I'm coming" replied Julliane.

"Rebecca would love to hear this. She was worried that the party would be messed up because her face was not too pretty, but Princess Julliane could definitely calm herself down well."

Julliane nodded slowly, continuing her steps. The next target has been determined. Surely he will decorate it with a larger fee than when teaching the waiter.

***

Julliane arrived at the concubine's palace. One of the servants brought a bouquet of white tulips to Julliane.

"From who?" ask Julliane to be confused.

"I don't know, Princess. The delivery of flowers delivered this and a letter to Princess Julliane" the maid said, issuing a letter.

From Ian.

"All right, thank you." Julliane took everything to her room.

The bouquet was placed on the table while Julliane read the letter. An apology from Ian again.

Like I said, I won't forgive you before I bow before me, Ian. But...

Julliane's eyes were fixed on the flower. Feeling sorry if the flower was thrown away, he took a vase and filled it with water. The white lily is now in a vase placed on an empty table. Julliane kept looking at him.

Mikael who was peering out of the trees, chuckled softly.

Elsewhere

Ellaine spends time with her friends, other than Violet. He felt like he was getting out of their conversation. I don't know when it started like this. Maybe since her brother taught their servants, or when they met her brother at the palace, or even long before that.

From the beginning Ellaine did not match them, only she forced herself to mingle with noble girls in high-class society. Finding a connection to his Kingdom was one of his father's upbringing since childhood despite having to foment even once. He was used to doing this so continuing was not a problem.

"Lord Princess, you are called King." Carlos broke Ellaine's daydream.

Ellaine immediately said goodbye to meet her father. His friends only realized the existence of Ellaine after a call from the King. Feeling no need anymore, they rushed home. Ellaine was relieved this feeling of tightness did not need to be felt anymore. 

Ellaine has arrived at her father's study. In that room there was not only him and his father. Beckett sat in the guest chair.

"Sit down first, Ellaine," said Leroy to see his son from earlier sculpting.

Ellaine sat down immediately. He looked at Beckett with questions. Ever since her brother threatened the three men who approached her, they never came. Ellaine also guessed why Beckett came here.

"From now on you get engaged to Prince Beckett, Ellaine."

Ellaine just nodded slowly. He also held back the crying.

"Never say this to Julliane, Edgar or your bodyguards. You and Prince Beckett get to know each other by meeting at night. Don't get caught" pressed Leroy.

"Okay, Dad," replied Ellaine.

In the end, Leroy breaks his promise to Julliane. The welfare of the kingdom is more important than the heart of his own daughter.
