I'm becoming the Princess?
Obviousness

Monday, 2pm. Zeria is in the hallway of his palace along with Eric. The two were about to go to Louise's study and ask about the engagement, which was discussed eight years ago. Ever since the party that Arin died at, Vicent and his family never showed themselves again. They were missing for eight years without any news.

“Why new now?” Ask Eric. Her blond hair that was exposed to the sun looked very dazzling, her green eyes also looked very radiant.

“I was just waiting for news, but I just remembered that they said they would officially introduce Vicent to me on the day of the party. And they never appeared until now” Zeria's eyes stoned, she clasped her dress skirt hard.

They continued to walk until they reached the front of Louise's workroom, although now their bodies were large, but still the door still felt very big. Zeria clenched her hand and knocked on the door, ‘Tok tok’ the knocking sound of the door was not big, but because the surroundings were very quiet, the knocking sound just now could definitely be heard clearly. “Dad? What's dad inside?” Zeria asked because there was no response from inside after she knocked on the door.

Silence momentarily, “Come in” Louise's Law from behind that big door. Immediately Zeria pushed the door and saw the figure of Louise sitting in her work chair with a pen in her hand, and of course William there.

The faces of Louise and William look very tired, “Do you guys not sleep?” Ask Zeria.

“No, I only slept for forty-five minutes” William said as he threw the paper he was holding. While Louise just kept quiet while continuing to write the documents she was working on.

Zeria looked at Eric and asked him to help make four teas, their faces like zombies. Zeria walked over to the sofa in the middle of the room and sat down in front of William. “Already expected, uncle Will always wear glasses when working as a secretary father” Zeria put his index finger between his eyes, as if he was raising a pair of glasses.

“Yes so” replied William listlessly.

Zeria held herself back from asking because it seemed like they were very busy and would ask when the atmosphere was already quite tenuous. A few minutes later Eric came up with a tray of four tea cups, a teapot and a small bowl of sugar blocks.

“Father and uncle Will rest a little while and drink his tea”

William and Louise looked at each other and agreed to take a short break. The four of them sat on the sofa with Louise sitting with Zeria, and Eric with William. Why would a bodyguard take tea with his employer? Because Eric was like a part of them.

“Dad”

“Iya?”

“Is the Lilua royal family no news?”

Louise and William flinched. Their faces suddenly changed and became tense. “Why ask that?”

William returned to drinking his tea while arranging an expression. “I'm curious, why the last eight years they have no news?”

They fell silent again, and in the end they fell with Zeria's gaze and told him everything. According to Louise's investigation, it was likely that Lilua's kingdom would revolt against the empire. However due to the lack of evidence, the imperial party could not directly attack or destroy Lilua kingdom. And during these eight years, all the imperial side could do was wait.

“So, most likely they will attack here?”

The situation that was at the tip of the horn, all they could do was wait while always being vigilant at every possibility. The military strength of Lilua kingdom was indeed arguably weak, but the situation would be dire if they cooperated with other kingdoms. “So, we assume that the engagement proposal eight years ago never happened?”

“Of course not!” Louise kicked the table until the tea glass on the table shook.

Zeria was surprised by Louise's reaction and subconsciously raised her thumb. And Eric laughed after seeing Zeria's behavior. Instantly the atmosphere became more relaxed and relieved. They had a little chat about the matter, and now was the time for Louise and William to get back to work.

“Then, I'm sorry” said Zeria.

Arriving at Zeria's room, Zeria dropped herself into the bed with her arms outstretched. “I've guessed” Mumbled.

Eric approached Zeria and grabbed her face, a white and pretty face, with hair draped past her face. Eric touched Zeria's hair and slightly rubbed it. The touch felt comfortable and warm. “I know that this will be like”

“Why?”

“Because Vicent once muttered that he would sow flowers to the ground before the party, and sure enough when Arin's party attacked”

“Do you think he has anything to do?”

“There is!”

Zeria gets up and sits on the edge of the bed, right in front of Eric. Zeria grabbed both of Eric's hands and looked into his eyes deeply. “I've guessed your eyes are very pretty” Celetus Zeria with her innocent face.

Eric's face flushed red and reflexively moved away from Zeria, “What the hell are you talking about?!” The man covered his face with his arms and stuttered speech.

“Hahaha, that's why I love to prank you. Your reaction was so cute you know?” Zeria rolled over on her bed laughing loudly.

“Imut said? It doesn't seem like a suitable phrase for a twenty-year-old man like me” he replied as he randomized his hair.

“But about your beautiful eyes, it doesn't lie loh”

And again Eric let out an adorable expression. Though his face was handsome and his body was tall, but why was he always embarrassed when Zeria praised him?
