Chapter 111: Delayed Travel
"Mr Princess, Duke Frost would like to meet."
"Say I'm sick."
"B-well, Princess." Poor Lily, the innocent maid was sandwiched between two big parties who were equally frightening. Because when whales fight, the shrimp become the victim. Rose and Daisy also shook their sympathies, on the other hand they were grateful that today was not their turn to receive guests.
Already three days Ava avoid Ellijah, the girl was not willing to meet the brash man, seeing his face alone made Ava go up black, he said, the fact that Duke Frost's face was very similar to Alex this time was unable to ease his anger.
Maybe that's the problem, Ava keeps seeing the figure of Alex in Ellijah, which is why she can immediately get along very naturally after her disguise contract. Because being close in this case is even inversely proportional to the characteristics of Eve he heard. Their engagement was purely political, with Ellijah taking her role as a fiance seriously, while Eve was completely unaffected by Duke Frost's advances over the years. It would be best if Ava kept her distance and drew a polite line, instead of being as intimate as she had been before.
Ava chewed the biscuits in silence, a chammomile tea that had a calming effect was upheld as well. The window that was accidentally opened caused a gentle breeze to enter the room, Ava's sleepy dress fluttering finely. Rose shouted inwardly, her master looks very beautiful. The pure white skin contrasts with the princess's dark hair like the night of the new moon, a tiny nose sharpened with thin pink lips and black beads of eyes that can make a person hypnotized just by looking at each other, forming the impression of a graceful woman who is also cool in the eyes of those who look. Of course if they ignored the various terrible rumors that included the princess, Princess Eve was a person worthy of idolatry. Already beautiful, smart, rich, high status, have an equal partner. Unfortunately, the princess couple is the biggest source of bad mood lately.
They clearly had a fight.
Well, whatever the case, hopefully quickly resolved, that way the servants do not get involved in the dispute of the people over.
Ava sighed, her gaze far past the white clouds within the window frame. Getting permission to get out of the palace was quite easy to get from King Dion. Citing "for the sake of innovation to be made", the king happily gave his seal of approval to his proposal, he even supplied it with dozens of mages and royal warriors if Ava wanted to. "If only it was necessary to smooth your experiment," he said. The implication of the sentence was a bit awkward from what Ava caught, so the girl impulsively refused. After all Ava's real goal is to go to the secret lab in the journal, follow Eve's advice when they were in the domain yesterday, so fewer people are coming along better, so there are fewer people, it would be the maximum if Ava went alone instead.
Unfortunately, there is a barrier. First Marvin, the prince kept telling him to keep quiet without doing anything, promising that the case of this explosion he would immediately handle so that Ava did not need to interfere. The second is of course Ellijah, although the two do not talk to each other Ava has confirmed the Duke's reaction. That yandere man would go crazy if he left, just like Eve who went missing four months ago.
