4 months later....

Winter is gone, spring is greeting. The expanse of land that was originally white and pale, is now back fresh and green overgrown by grass that sparkles when exposed to sunlight.

The flowers are back competing to show their beauty and beauty.

The world seems happy and happy to welcome a cheerful spring.

Actually, spring has entered the last month, so it is not the next summer turn that greets you.

Yet another with this one brown unraveling woman, her mood was grim. With her sour face, the woman was twitching her lips.

"It's been four months but there's no progress at all!" his grunts sat on the edge of a beautiful pool of water.

"Do I have to change my plans? But how?! If I act rashly and blatantly, I might lose by a landslide!"

For four months, he launched his first plan, which was to observe all the movements of Anastasia.

Two of his men even like to complain when they find Anastasia making out with her lover, Prince Darren.

"Good, Boss! You sent us out to be a scene watcher romantic couple?!"

"Boss, I can't stand it. I could vomit with all their romance!"

"I also want to have a beautiful girlfriend!"

"And cute of course!"

Cassandra massaged the middle of both of her eyebrows in light of the whole babble.

The woman was very frustrated, thinking about how the story of this novel ended. A happy ending or a sad ending, the woman was completely ignorant and confused.

"I have to meet Prince Darren and talk about Anastasia's pregnancy indirectly" she said.

Yes, because as far as the observations of two of his men, Prince Darren did not know Anastasia's pregnancy at all.

Anastasia has rarely met Prince Darren lately, possibly wanting to hide her pregnancy.

The reason for what? Did Anastasia know that her child was not Arlen's?

However, if it was like that, Anastasia turned out to be very reckless and acted rashly.

It did not reflect the blonde woman at all. That's not the cause.

"But how? There's no way I'm meeting Prince Darren in person and suddenly talking about Anastasia's pregnancy. He must be suspicious, "he thought with an index finger on his chin.

"Mrs!"

"All!"

Byurs!

The pool of water behind her became where the brown-shelled woman was anchored and supine.

The figure of the perpetrator who had caused the incident was silent. Not silence for fear of being scolded, but silence restrains laughter.

With her entire body splashed with water, Cassandra stood up again and came out of the pool.

He gave a sharp look, with his hands folded in front of his chest.

"How do you explain all this?" snarl.

Elise, could no longer hold back her forced laughter from her lips.

Until laughter is heard. "Pardon me, ma'am. I-I really didn't accidentally, haha!"

Cassandra only snorted harshly towards her servant this one.

"Hehe, forgive me, Madam. I really didn't know that you would fall back like that" said Elise still faithfully accompanied by a small oddity.

Cassandra was like a sulking teenager, the woman was flinging her lips with furrowed eyebrows.

"This, Madam. I brought you an orange," haggard Elise.

Suddenly, the woman immediately flashed a smile and snatched the orange. "You're the best waitress, Elise!" his praise.

Elise produced a bland laugh. This one employer always praised him when he got something that pleased him.

"Mrs, you should shower first and change your clothes. Or you'll catch a cold" advised Elise but ignored by the woman.

Cassandra was still busy picking up the orange meat one by one and was busy putting it in her mouth.

"Mrs!" peekik Elise was anxious and grabbed the orange.

"Ah, orange!!" cassandra shouted dramatically. It was as if he had just lost a valuable item. It was just an orange.

"This orange I confiscate, if you don't shower immediately and change your clothes!" nagel Elise.

Then, the brown woman grumbled. "Why do you really look like my mother" he grumbled.

"Come, Madam. I help you," Elise's grin makes Cassandra snort.

"All right."

...🥀...

The evening has come, which will gradually be a cold yet beautiful night.

Cassandra, the woman was staring out the window facing right at the sunlight that began to be orange keorenan.

His life in this world was very complicated, different from his home world.

If in her home world, she would just eat, shower, play games, sleep. And it will continue like that.

Because the savings of her career in the field of film at that time was still very much left, so the woman became unemployed and financed her life with that savings.

The woman was very lazy to come out, facing a cruel and dirty world.

Even her beautiful face that she was very caring for at that time was not taken care of anymore, because all the woman thought about was her eating and gaming.

He came to think of it, was there a chance for him to return to that calm and relaxed life?

Even the words of the grandmother he had met a few months ago in the village of Privillage he still remembered.

The grandmother spoke of fate, and then said of the creator and the poor woman.

Sometimes a woman is like a woman who has lost her way, not knowing what to do the next day.

The danger that surrounded him was unknown, like a blind man who knew nothing of the circumstances surrounding him.

A hug surrounded the slender body of the woman, making the empress turn towards the perpetrator.

"What are you doing?" ask someone behind the woman.

"Nothing, just observing the sun that was about to set" he replied. "Does Anastasia still want to have cravings?" cassandra asked as if she had gotten used to it.

"Can we not talk about him first?" Instead of answering, the man asked back.

Cassandra nodded. Then refocus and just stay in the close embrace of the man.

"Hey, can you tell me why you prefer me over Anastasia?" ask the woman suddenly. "Isn't Anastasia prettier? Isn't Anastasia's status higher than mine? Then why you-"

"I don't know either."

Cassandra turned her head back and turned her body to face the man.

"When I first met you on top of those mountains, my heart suddenly skipped a beat. And my heart says, that woman is mine" said Arlen.

"Just because of that? That easy?"

Arlen nodded. Then the man asked. "What about you? What made you fall in love with me?"

Cassandra's speechless. Confused what to answer. He also does not know why he could fall for Arlen.

Whether from when, suddenly he loved Arlen, to feel afraid if the man was in danger.

Feeling sick when the man spent the night with a woman other than himself.

"Maybe because you're a man of great courage?" cassandra hesitated.

"High courage?" arlen parrots.

"Yes. When you were fighting the Neophorine army. You continue forward without the slightest fear when dozens of enemies are ready to hurt and kill you. "

"And you were also very worried about me when I wanted to go sneak into Nephorine's base back then, it made me very happy."

The woman displayed a sweet heartfelt smile on her beautiful face which she adored. "Thank you for worrying about me. I really appreciate it with all my heart."

A caress landed on Cassandra's cheek, making herself a little surprised.

"So your tone is weak, is something bothering you?" ask Arlen.

Cassandra was silent, staring into the clear blue sky. Just like the spring sky today.

"Smile," Arlen pinta as she pulled the two corners of the woman's lips together to form a big smile.

"It hurts!" cassandra rowed because the man's power could not be controlled.

"Tomorrow night, there will be the next coronation of the King."

"King's coronation?"

Arlen nodded. "All the people will be invited, including us."

"I think Prince Yari. Considering he was the one who defeated Nephorine's army back then."

"Aren't you suspicious of Prince Yari? About your opinion saying that he became a traitor to be King?"

"If I were suspicious or not, if he had been chosen by the people to be King, I wouldn't have been able to stop him."

Cassandra's down. The woman was agitated, for some reason something was awkward. But he doesn't know what it is.

Remembering Prince Darren who turned out to be in cahoots with Anastasia, making her even more confused and frustrated with all these circumstances.

It is as if you can't trust anyone in this world. A world full of dirty and dirty plans.

A world filled with drama and falsehood.

"Here you go, don't think about it too much" Arlen said, rubbing the woman's shoots.

Cassandra nodded.

"I'm going back to my office. You go back to rest."

"You still have a job?" ask Cassandra.

"Why? Do you miss me, my love?"

The woman harrumphed. "N-not really," he looked away.

"Not really, that means there's still a little, right?" arlen Goda.

"Basic teaser!" the woman's strangulation caused a brief ruckus from the man.

The sound of the closed door became the end of their conversation and meeting that day.

Because Cassandra fell asleep before Arlen could talk back to the woman.

...🥀...

Cassandra Pov's

This is what I've been waiting for! That way I can get close to Prince Darren naturally and provoke him with a conversation about Anastasia's pregnancy

However, hearing the coronation of the next King was about to be carried out, I somehow felt a little uneasy in my heart.

Actually from yesterday I why the hell?! Always feeling worried and paranoid yourself.

I try to eliminate and ignore that feeling so I don't think.

Elise was busy pulling the rope that hooked the corset I was wearing, and I just kept waiting for her to finish.

Soon after, I was finished with a simple but elegant long blue dress.

The little gems that glowed adorned my old brown hair that was bunned, so that it looked beautiful and neat.

"You ready?"

A sudden voice just appeared distracting me and Elise, making us instantly turn our heads at the same time.

"Greetings, Lord Duke," greeted Elise respectfully.

Unlike me, I went straight to him. "Yes" I replied.

"Come," he asked.

I nodded and smiled too. We walked together on the train until we finally reached our destination.

.

.

.

.

"It's a lot" I said unconsciously as we reached the main door of the palace.

Luxurious decorations, became the basis of the party held in this palace.

Suddenly my hand was pulled by him and he put my hand on his arm.

I looked up at him, he just said.

"You can get lost."

I couldn't help but smile at the knot, I was always happy when she gave this little attention.

"Oh yeah, Anastasia's not coming?" I did not find the presence of this woman.

"He said he wasn't feeling well, so he didn't come" she explained and I nodded in understanding.

We both stepped inside. Many nobles greeted, and I smiled occasionally to return their greetings.

I just realized, it turns out the clothes you wear look like a couple.

She's in her dark blue long vest and her leg pants that reach her black ankles, and I'm in a dark blue dress.

Not long after that, now I have not found the figure of Prince Darren, so I intend to look for him.

"I want to find Princess Veronica for a moment, can you wait for me here?" I lied and he just nodded in trust.

I also stepped up, looking for the figure of Prince Darren. After a few minutes, I still could not find his whereabouts.

Where is the Prince actually?

If I linger, Arlen must be suspicious. I'd better get back first.

But before that -

"The Duchess?"

Bingo! Finally you showed up too, I've been looking for you daritadi. With a neutral face, I turned to face him.

"Greetings, Your Grace. May you always be blessed by the Goddess," my dear as honorably as possible.

"You too, Duchess," she replied. "What are you doing here, Duchess? Isn't Master Duke there?" pointing at the prince made me a little confused.

"Ah, I just want to take a few banquets," I lied.

We were silent for a moment. The prince finally spoke again.

"Oh yes, Duchess. Are you here with the Duke alone?"

Indirectly he inquired about the presence of Anastasia. But good, it will look smoother when I'm going to talk about that woman.

"Yes. Because Anastasia is currently in a fairly bad condition, Anastasia did not come and rest at home."

I can see a little movement of expression on his face. Looks like he's starting to get hooked.

"Bad condition?"

"That's right, Your Majesty. Anastasia is currently pregnant, so her health has been a bit of a decline lately" I said with a grim, contrived face.

"containing?"

His eyes slightly widened, but not for a second his face returned to how it was.

"Yes, his age has reached three more months, Your Majesty."

I could see her gaze starting to stare, but quickly piled up with a sweet smile.

"Then I congratulate Duke Floniouse. Then, may Duchess Floniouse also be fine" he explained.

"Sorry, Duchess. I still have business, I have to go. Have a nice night," he said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. You too," replied me and he passed.

He's lured!

Since my job is done, I'd better get back to him. I don't want to make him wait too long either.

.

.

.

.

"For a long time," he said.

I just grinned. "I'm sorry, Princess Veronica and I have been chatting away."

"Indeed, you ladies always forget time when you gossip."

"We're not gossiping!" he and I just smiled.

"Stay with me here. His coronation will begin soon."

All right, let's see who's gonna be the next king.
