Today has finally arrived. Reina peeked at the incoming trains behind the window. I can't wait for the man's presence. The birthday party will be held in four days. Unexpectedly the time quickly passed, Reina had already learned a lot about the palace.
Reina will wait for Varya to come down to greet the guests. Varya says she'll bring herself later. Reina was very impatient to see the handsome face of the man again.
"Hey! Aren't you Varya's new servant?" Reina turned her back to see a blond girl was talking to her arrogantly.
Reina had heard about the girl from Varya. She bowed respectfully as she was the daughter of the Duke of Lawrence.
"Greetings to Lady Lawrance" Reina said politely.
"Ah, you are very well educated. Now hurry and get me to meet Varya" Grace said without a word of respect for Varya. Hearing that, of course, Reina did not remain silent.
"I'm sorry Lady. Isn't it rude to call Her Highness the Princess that way? I know your family is a royal patron but you'd better stay submissive to the royal family" Grace was visibly upset to hear that.
"What! How dare a lowly servant like you advise me. Anyway she's not here for what I'm showing her my respect for" Grace folded her arms around her chest as if there was no guilt.
"But you are in the palace. I hope that you keep your decency or you will be punished according to the rules of the government" Reina insisted, upsetting Grace.
"You're a brash!"
"Who's the insolent Lady Lawrance?" Grace turned her head and saw Varya approaching them.
"Ah, Princess. You must teach your servants not to be rude to nobles. You must punish her for her actions. It was a shame for a princess maid who dared to be rude to the Lawrence family" Varya saw the bowed Reina.
"You're like he's wrong to see Lady. What I noticed earlier is that you were the one who was being rude to me. Do you want clearer evidence? You just clearly didn't show me your regards. How many more times should I teach how to behave to the royal family! Now you're even slandering my people? I don't want to see yourself in the palace before Lady's party. Don't make me punish you even more for your insolent actions" Varya squinted her eyes.
Grace couldn't believe what she heard. He left there immediately in shame. Reina who saw him just chuckled, it was true that Grace was wrong not him.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I shouldn't have behaved like that" Reina regretted, Varya patted her on the shoulder.
"No Reina. That's a good job. Don't let anyone step on you with the strength they have, I told you I was with you. There's nothing to be afraid of" Varya smiled sweetly, Reina was calm with the girl.

"Welcome King Ferlya. Hope you are comfortable while in Astra" Welcome Varya to Leon who just got off the horse carriage.
"of course. Thank you for welcoming me Princess." Leon smiled amiably then glanced at a red-haired girl behind Varya.
"After a long journey. How good it is to rest first. My waiter will take you to the room, sorry I have to greet the other guests first" Varya resigned. Leon approached Reina and smiled sweetly.
"It's been a while, Reina" Reina blushed at the sweet voice.
The sensitive Leon simply smiled and followed Reina who led him. He looked at the posture of the girl who had changed more gracefully. Leon can't wait to bring the girl home with him to Ferlya.

Varya approached someone she had never seen. A blond man, he had never seen her in his previous life. Varya tried to ask the waiter. His eyes were round when he found out he was the new King of the kingdom of Estria and he had only been sworn in a week because the King before his death.
"Greetings to the new King Estria. Sorry I was late to say hello to you" said Varya, the blue-eyed man smiling.
"It's okay princess. There are also many people who do not know me." Friendly to the man. If Varya wasn't mistaken the man's name was Andro de Estria.
The only son of King Estria. He is known for his genius at creating technology. If Varya manages to establish relations with the kingdom, it is certain that Astra's progress will be further enhanced in the future.
Varya then invited Andro to talk while heading to his resting place. They occasionally laughed, in contrast to Leon who forced himself to be friendly. Andro does have the nature of making people who are with him comfortable and able to follow the flow of conversation with him.
"It seems like our conversation can only get here Your Majesty" They have reached their destination.
"Thank you Princess for accompanying me. It's my first time to Astra so many places I don't know about" Varya smiled kindly.
"Don't hesitate to ask me Your Majesty. I say goodbye to myself, I still have a lot to prepare. Hope you're comfortable here" Varya then leaves Andro who is still staring at his departure.
'She's a great girl beyond her rumors.'
Varya met Finix in the hall, he seemed to be watching the event room. They are so busy that the break is short. Finix does not seem to feel the presence of Varya from behind because he is busy arranging preparations, Varya wants to surprise him. But someone suddenly nudged Varya's arm violently making her lose balance.
GREB!
It was fortunate that Finix was on time to capture Varya. Their eyes were now meeting, the hearts of each other as if rhythmically beating with his speed. In a second later Varya quickly stood up properly. Likewise with Finix, it is not good to be too long in the position that was.
"I beg your mercy, Your Majesty! I was not on purpose" said a male servant who nudged Varya earlier. The man now knelt before Varya. A lot of people there saw that.
Varya looked at the man, there was fear in him. If it's just an accident it shouldn't be hard. Could this be someone's plan?
"Wake up, it's okay. I'm fine, but if my bodyguard hadn't caught me I might have been hurt. I'm not an angel so I can forgive all your mistakes. But since it's NOT ACCIDENTAL, you can get out of the palace with your life still on your body." The servant was really scared, Varya told the bodyguards to drag her out.
If he had forgiven the servant, he would have been too humble. And what will happen next, he will be used by others.
