"Greetings Your Highness the Princess."

I immediately turned my head towards the direction where the voice came from. I also clucked in my heart, why is that woman everywhere?!

Anastasia pulled the corner of her skirt while bowing respectfully to Veronica, and Veronica looked unhappy with the woman's presence, just like me.

"On what basis did Duchess Floniouse come here?" ask Veronica who might sound a little .. ketus?

Anastasia reviewed the sweet smile. "I'm sorry if my arrival interfered with your event, Your Honor. I'm here to talk to Cassandra in person."

"Don't you see that Duchess Floniouse is having some business with me? It's rude of you to suddenly come interrupt and interfere with our affairs," said Veronica with great dignity making me a little surprised.

It turned out like this if a royal princess did not like the person she hated, I could see the face of Anastasia who was trying to hold back her anger with her sweet smile.

I like your style, Veronica! Continue on!

"Even I don't know who the real Duchess Floniouse is here. Because there's only one Duchess Floniouse I've known all along," Veronica muttered with a murmur while folding her hands together.

"Uhuk! Uhuk!" I accidentally choked on my own saliva. Come on, those words are so piercing and insinuating! I could barely hold my laughter!

"Cassandra, are you okay?" veronica asked as soon as she saw me choking and coughing.

The handkerchief I brought to cover my mouth. I mean, let it look polite and authoritative, muehehe.

Although Veronica said it sounded like a murmur, but I'm sure Anastasia must have heard it very clearly.

Seen on the face of Anastasia who was a little surprised, and both of her palms that she tightly clenched.

"I'm sorry if my presence bothers you, Your Majesty. Then I'll resign. May the Goddess of Heaven bless you."

After saying that, Anastasia left which made me a little happy. At least I won't see his face in my time with you.

I glanced at Veronica then carefully asked her. "Hm ... Veronica, may I ask you something?"

"Of course, what's not for my best friend?" The answer made my heart warm a little. If only I had a good and sincere friend like him in my old world.

"Why do you look so hateful to Anastasia?"

Veronica looked grunting. "Because he was the one who made Duke Floniouse hate you, he even took your husband."

His words surprised me a little. I need to find out more about this, so I can figure out why Duke hates Cassandra.

I do know that Anastasia was the one who made Arlen hate Cassandra, but it was her cause that I didn't know about.

"What do you mean, Veronica?" my many.

"Actually, Anastasia used to be our best friend. But somehow, one day he suddenly changes and starts betraying our friendship."

Anastasia was once Cassandra and Veronica's best friend? I really didn't expect this!

"Then what happened after that, Veronica?" manya curious. It's possible that by finding out the cause of the strained relationship between Cassandra and Arlen, maybe I can fix it.

"I don't really know about it either, because you used to just cry and tell me that Duke Floniouse hated you. And not long after that, Duke Floniouse married Anastasia." It definitely disappointed me a little.

It seems, it is not that easy to solve this misunderstanding.

So lucky Cassandra La Devoline to have a friend like Veronica. I feel envious of him.

"You take it easy, Veronica. I promise I won't do anything like that again" I said, carving out the genuine smile I gave her.

We throw each other smiles.

"Oh yeah, it's starting late afternoon! Do you want to go home soon, Cassandra? Your house is also located far from the palace, isn't it?" veronica asked, which made me realize that the sky had turned into a beautiful reddish orange.

I nodded, and Veronica led me to the palace gate. But when I reached the entrance of the palace, I foolishly stepped on my own skirt until I almost fell.

Fortunately, someone was holding me back. Otherwise, maybe my lips will become jontor for kissing the hard floor.

"Are you okay?" After I heard that, I unceasingly straightened myself properly and immediately bowed respectfully while saying an apology from my lips.

"I'm sorry, I didn't walk properly" I said with my head bowed.

"It's okay."

"Are you okay, Cassandra?" veronica asked and I nodded. "Sister? What are you doing here?" veronica.

Wait up? The sister?

"It's good to see you're okay, Duchess Floniouse. I heard that yesterday you fell from the ravine, are you okay now?" Her question made me throw my eyeballs.

Did a prince just talk to me? If so, anyone please pinch me!

With strange and clumsy movements, I answered her question. "U-uhm. Thank you so much for worrying about me" I said a little.

Come on, you weak Cassandra! Although you never expected to meet the prince before, but at least be a little authoritative!

I am upset with myself. I glanced at him as the prince let out a twinkle from his lips. "It turns out you're a funny guy, Duchess."

He said, and I slipped my hair behind my ears awkwardly.

"Sister, stop talking to Cassandra. I'll drive her home now," scowled Veronica.

"Okay, my dear sister. Then, Duchess. May we meet again."

In response, I just nodded. After that, Veronica called a train to take me home.

She insisted on waiting with me here, but it felt impolite to make a princess wait for a horse carriage while standing in front of the entrance of the palace.

So I persuaded him to enter the palace quickly, he finally resigned and fulfilled my request.

I patiently began to wait for the train to pick me up, but before that I heard the voice of a man I knew very well.

I turned my head, and the man stood leaning against the wall with both of his arms folded in front of his chest and said to me.

"You're enjoying your time with the Prince?"
