Aileen looked glued at the 15-year-old who was sitting opposite Mr Ryder, thinking he would be back when he was 17. Turns out the forecast was wrong, William returned sooner than planned.
“Greetings Mr. Felix Vanzo Ryder and greetings Mr. William Dementian Ryder. I Aileen came here for fulfilling Mr. Felix's call,” Aileen said explaining her arrival when they forgot to call her.
“Sit, Aileen.” Mr. Felix opened his voice and asked him to sit down.
Aileen followed Mr. Felix obediently. He sat down opposite William and to the right of Mr. Felix.
The atmosphere became silent as no one opened the slightest sound.
“How about your noble class, Aileen?” asked Mr. Felix to break the silence.
“Everything went smoothly as usual, Sir,” Aileen replied gracefully. He himself did not want to be informal to everyone who was there.
“I heard Miss. Laura continues to praise you in her lessons, it seems like she really likes you,” said William attracted the attention of Aileen.
“It seems so,” reply Aileen casually.
“Can you directly convey why you called me here?” said Aileen does not want to mince words with humans that she does not like.
“You're in too much of a hurry, Ai. Shouldn't we chat any longer as a family?” reply William.
“Maybe you forgot, none of you think of me as family,” Aileen said with a smile on her face.
The atmosphere became awkward after Aileen said the word innuendo.
“Ehem! Okay, Aileen. I'll tell you something ...” Mr. Felix turned Aileen's attention back to her.
Aileen herself waited without wanting to ask further.
“Emperor sent you a proposal and I can't turn it down neither can you. Because if you reject it, it is tantamount to insulting the imperial family,” explained Mr. Felix with a speech that did not want to be denied.
“Aren't I 10 years old? It still takes another 6 years to debut my manhood, Mr.” Aileen looked at Mr. Felix with a cold look, she should have followed her heart so as not to come here. Really bad thing for him.
“This is just a proposal that I do not receive advice from anyone while waiting for your age and the first prince to reach adulthood,” explains Mr. Felix with a happy twinkle that he cannot hide from the eagle's eyes belonging to Aileen.
‘This man is really sickening, look at the twinkle of greed in his eyes that. Disgusting,’ batian Aileen could not bear his insults.
“Alright, I'll accept it, but with three conditions.” Aileen did not want to be taken for granted, she was not a stupid human like the person before her.
“Alright, whatever your conditions I will fulfill as long as you accept the proposal and marry the Crown Prince.”
Aileen nodded on condition of Mr. Felix, she took a slow breath and began to convey the terms from him.
“First, I want my monthly money added according to my needs every month. Because the 50 pieces of gold you gave it was not even enough to buy a proper dress,”, Aileen said on her first condition.
“50 gold pieces? I always give you 1,000 gold pieces every month, Aileen.” Mr. Felix seemed to be in disbelief at what Aileen had said.
“True, I even receive your excessive financial statements every month. How could you say you only got 50 gold pieces?” sahut William, it seems he is also as good as Mr. Felix.
Both of them were silent at Aileen's words, subconsciously they noticed Aileen's appearance which was far from fancy. Although the dress she was wearing looked good, but could not throw away the fact that it was just a cheap dress that could be found in the middle to lower people's market.
“William, go and drag the finance chief here. I had to teach him a valuable lesson for daring to polish at my residence,”, Mr. Felix told William.
William quickly got up from his seat and went to obey his father's orders.
Mr. Felix himself was inexhaustible, how could the princess he did not want to meet turned out to live so badly? 50 Pieces of gold is not even enough to buy a top quality scarf.
He was furious with the head of his family's finances, what if his family became the subject of public ridicule because Aileen was not dressed like royalty?
“Wah, I think all this time you have given me such a small ration,” said Aileen broke the silence since William left the room.
“Alright, I'll ask him to return the money that should have been yours all along. Say the second condition,” said Mr. Felix as he looked at Aileen.
“Secondly, don't ever set or force me to do something I don't want and I can do anything I want in this mansion,” Aileen said with a serious face.
Mr. Felix seemed to digest Aileen's words for a moment, before he finally nodded his head in agreement.
“Don't forget to make a valid agreement letter in the eyes of the law, I don't want anything detrimental to me.” Aileen continued.
“Alright, I'll have Vincent make his agreement tomorrow. Then what's the third condition?”
“Three, I want ...”
Mr. Felix seemed to object to the last thing Aileen asked for, but after thinking for a few minutes with all the calculations he agreed.
“Alright, I'll be back now. Sir can have Vincent deliver his agreement letter and also all my money during this time,” said Aileen while getting up from her seat.
He bowed respectfully to Mr. Felix and went out of the room with a satisfied smile on his face that looked sinister to Via who had been waiting for him since.
“Why are you smiling like that, Miss?” tanya Via was horrified to see that sinister expression.
“We will celebrate the victory, Via. Let's go back to the room and party!” aileen said with a happy twinkle on her face.
Various plans began to be devised in his brain, it seemed like fate had actually asked him to avenge himself. Look at the open path to make it easier for her to take revenge.
Although confused by the behavior of the lady, Via still followed Aileen's steps faithfully. At least the lady could smile happily after all this time.
While in a room, a middle-aged man was now lying helplessly as William beat him mercilessly.
“How dare you do such a disgusting thing in my residence!” william said coldly, anger evident in his eyes.
“Am-puni me, Mr. William,” quietly beg forgiveness.
“Warrior! Quickly bring him, my father is waiting,” William said ignoring the request of the man who works as chief financial officer at the Ryder residence.
