Cursed Daughter Looking for a Mate
Chapter 39 The Excommunicated Sister

A few days earlier

There was nothing in Leroy's study, just the clanging sound of a clock. Leroy's head was propped up with one of his hands. Another hand held onto a piece of paper. Written on that paper the government's expenditure exceeds its revenue. He gritted his teeth and threw away the paper.

"Aragh!" his moaning while breaking the table.

'The kingdom is already mounting. We can't live luxuriously anymore. I have to save but if there are nobles who suspect the state of the kingdom's finances are sad, there could be a rebellion. My family will be affected, ' Inner Leroy.

Leroy kept turning his brain. Marrying her son is the only way out. Do not rush to get married, first get engaged first to look natural. Julliane had agreed to get married and began to want to meet again with men, but she was busy befriending other noble girls. Plus the unruly nature of her first daughter will make it difficult to get engaged to other royals in the near future.

The more docile Ellaine became Leroy's choice. He will marry his second daughter to Beckett. They will be mutually beneficial. The Kingdom of Yuvinere will cooperate with the Kingdom of Lortamort, while Beckett will gain strength in the struggle for a seat of the throne in his kingdom. 

If Beckett becomes King, Ellaine will become Queen. The cooperation of the two kingdoms will be even closer. The financial problems of the Yuvinere Kingdom could be resolved sooner or later. Beckett's cheating attitude at the hunting party wasn't a big deal. Beckett was the best choice among the three people who approached Ellaine. 

Marrying Edgar would be disastrous. Leroy could not believe the noble girl could keep her mouth. Plus marrying the prince will even make them more fun-foya. Not even to fix the finances, the destruction that will befall the Yuvinere Kingdom. Edgar did not want to marry a princess from another kingdom because he had been humiliated. Because of heartache, his son only wanted to marry a noble girl in the country to maintain self-esteem.

Leroy grabbed a paper writing to Beckett. He will ask her to meet secretly without the knowledge of Julliane, Edgar and Ellaine's bodyguards. They can foil Leroy's plans.

"See you tomorrow night, Princess Ellaine," said Beckett.

Ellaine left the King's study room with a long sigh. His head kept thinking about the engagement. Plus the wedding will be lived out sometime. He is not ready but he must be ready.

"What's up, Princess?" suddenly asked Carlos.

"Not a big deal, Carlos," Elak Ellaine.

"Does the Princess want to run away again?"

"Aren't you afraid of being scolded by my father again, Carlos?"

Actually Carlos was afraid, but he wanted his master to let go of fatigue. Being in the palace constantly made his master moody. Being scolded or beaten even once does not matter if the master is happy.

"No, Princess."

Ellaine smiled knot. "Thank you, Carlos. But I don't want to see you being scolded again for my sake. We'd better be at the palace."

Ellaine moved her feet towards her room. His hand felt pulled, he stopped, then turned to look at Carlos.

"Why, Carlos?"

"I know a comfortable place in the palace, maybe the Princess will like it," Carlos said hesitantly.

"May we go there." 

Carlos stepped in front of Ellaine. This was the opposite of their daily activities, it felt like Ellaine was escorting Carlos. Ellaine chuckled softly observing Carlos' back. Perhaps this is the view that Carlos often saw. 

They arrived at a tree of the concubine palace area. Carlos chose this place because the weather was cool and very quiet. Ellaine would love to be anywhere near Julliane anyway. 

Carlos used to watch Ellaine add her things in Julliane's box when she suffered a curse. Observing his master's affection for the older brother secretly made Carlos' heart full. 

Carlos was determined to become stronger in order to become the personal bodyguard of Ellaine. He wants to be near her. His waiting paid off after Ellaine's abduction. Had Carlos been Ellaine's personal bodyguard sooner, he would not have let the kidnapping happen.

"So this is the place?" Ellaine spread her gaze around.

"True Princess. Sit down." Carlos put down the pedestal, not wanting his master's dress to get dirty.

Ellaine was leaning against the tree staring at the garden. The wind gently hit his face. It felt peaceful, he closed his eyes to feel this peace.

Ellaine nodded. "I like it, it's very calming" he replied quietly.

"I often rest under a tree after a workout. I felt calm as well, so I guess Tu-" Carlos words came to a halt.

Ellaine's head rested on his shoulder. His body was stiff, afraid of waking his master. He glanced at his master's face. It's very close. Ellaine's eyelashes turned out to be very pliable. His hands wanted to touch that smooth, white skin. However, he did not want to be presumptuous. His index finger was connected to Ellaine's little finger. 

'This is enough, ' Carlos inner.

***

The waiter was pacing back and forth at the residence that Julliane was visiting. Julliane got out of the way so as not to get hit by the servants. The noble girl paced around in the middle room of her residence. As soon as he saw Julliane he immediately approached her.

"I've been waiting for you, Princess. You said that you'd intervene by yourself this time, " Rebecca said quickly. The thoughts of the party's chaos continued to fill his head.

"Right, I'm afraid the waiter can't perfectly imitate the makeup I do. I came here directly to make you beautiful and enjoy your party. Rebecca, happy birthday." Julliane's lips were curved.

Rebecca thanked him as she asked to hurry up. She was not calm before seeing her face become beautiful. 

They arrived at Rebecca's room. Julliane looked at Rebecca's face. The problem is that the eyes are narrow, besides that his face is quite beautiful. 

As usual, Julliane applied the base first in an entire manner. It affixes a brightly colored eye shadow. Dark color even makes the eyes look slender. Then he daubed the inner corner of the eye with a highlighter.

His hands take eyeliner and then put it on the upper lashes. It inserts a line beyond the outer corners of the eye. The end of the line is made tapered so that the eyelashes look longer and the eyes look wider. The hardest part was equalizing this line to the left and right eyes, but it was not a problem for Julliane as she was used to it. 

Rebecca's eyelashes were pinched and the last step of mascara was wearing her eyelashes. He repeated all these steps in the other eye.

The problem is over. Julliane made sure the makeup in both of Rebecca's eyes looked the same. After that he decorated Rebecca with blush, lip dye and powder sprinkles. Done it. 

Rebecca observed the makeup on her face. Amazing results. She looks like a different person, very beautiful. Smile on his lips.

"Thank you, Princess Julliane," those words continued to spew from her lips.

Julliane handed over her hair and other accessories to the waiter. He wants to rest for a while. 

After I get this money, I'll meet my father. The money I've collected can certainly help the kingdom's finances.

***

Everyone applauded at Rebecca's arrival. They were amazed to see the beauty of this noble girl. After greeting her guests, Rebecca came to Julliane and her friends sitting around a table.

"Well, you're beautiful" praised Violet who was to the left of Julliane. 

Claire who was sitting to the left of Violet chimed in, "After this must be a lot of men approaching you."

"Thank you, this is thanks to Princess Julliane's help," Rebecca smiled as she sat on the empty seat to Julliane's right. 

Julliane didn't notice them. His head turned towards the crowd of guests, looking for someone.

"I also want to treat Princess Julliane like this at my birthday party as well. I'll pay more than Rebecca" Claire said.

"I'll pay more than you two" added Violet who did not want to lose.

These three noble girls laughed softly. Julliane looked at them cynically.

"Where's Ellaine?" julliane said coldly.

The trunk of his sister's nose was not visible from earlier. Ellaine was not invited to this party. Not invited to a party of a person called a friend.
