The Second Life Of The Mercenary
Chapter 78 The Supper

"Ishabella. It must be you, right?" hardik Elena, he was annoyed to see his daughter suffering as well as annoyed at not being able to go to the banquet.

"Geez mother, it is not good to accuse people carelessly. I came with the intention of visiting my sisters, please don't blame me just because mom wants to cover up her own mistakes.  Mom bought those dresses, didn't she?" isabella asked playing her eyebrows up and down.

"really. It's mom's fault, there must be one of Liliana's acquaintances working at the boutique. She reported to Liliana if mom ordered a dress there then she sprinkled itchy powder on her dress, because she didn't know which Charlotte's dress so she put the itchy powder on both of the dresses I ordered. Your mistake got me the sap, too" Carolina said.

"Liliana had no connections anywhere, her family was destroyed and their royal titles were withdrawn. Who will help him when he is no longer useful, who?" snapped Charlotte.

"Geez look at you guys this time is so sad. One snake accuses the other snake, if this continues then you brothers can bite each other. Just as I was passing by about to go to the 3rd floor, I heard you two wanted to ruin Vanessa's dress. Aren't we?"

"You hear that? so ... don't tell me if this itchy powder is you."

"Even if it's me without proof what you can do, Charlotte?"

"How dare you ... What is your problem with us? we never had any evil plans for you" Elena said.

"I don't have a problem with you guys. But you will have problems with me, if you dare to touch the limits of my patience which is none other than Vanessa. I know that the kidnapping incident committed by your uncle was aided by you. It's just that I didn't take it into account because Vanessa didn't want to, but I wasn't as good as her. I really just want to keep quiet until you commit another crime, and I'm right you're mean to her again. Therefore I have made my determination to repay your actions, do not suffer too much because this was just the beginning when we still have a lot so let's play slowly," answer Isabella grinned.

"You've messed up our plans. And tonight I will draw the crown prince's heart. But you're ruining everything, you stone-hearted woman," Carolina upset.

Isabella smiled as she said, "Carolina if you want to be empress and Charlotte will also be empress then it will be difficult for your mother. His two daughters will be the empresses of two hostile princes fighting for the throne, do you think if you become empress then your mother will support which son-in-law to ascend the throne?"

"Damn! Isabella's intent is to play Carolina's heart, this can't be allowed, '" Elena said.

"Isabella you …."

"Be quiet, mother," Carolina interrupted Elena's words, "Who do you think I'm going to support?"

"I think of course the most beautiful, intelligent, and dignified princess like Charlotte. She could not have supported a daughter who had earned the mother's nickname from the folly of the upper class" replied Isabella.

"Well, although it's impossible for Albert to be interested in you," Isabella laughed.

"Don't listen to her Carolina, she's poisoning your mind. Just ignore her words, because mom will always support both of us" Charlotte said.

"Think about Carolina. See you soon." Isabella waved her hand until she finally left the twin room.

When the banquet time arrived, Isabella boarded the train with Cedric while Vanessa boarded the train that Albert had sent specifically for her.

"Duke Cedric Abraham and Miss Isabella Abraham entered the hall." Shouted the guests along with the entry of Cedric joined hands with Isabella.

Moments after entering Cedric was crowded by high-class men to discuss business, Isabella was forced to remove her arms from Cedric and go to the corner of the room. The corner of the room was Isabella's favorite place.

"The crown prince Albert van Irsyad and the crown princess Vanessa Abraham entered the hall." Shouted the knight guards.

Everyone in the hall immediately turned their eyes over to see Albert standing with Vanessa, they were a perfect match.

"Thank you all for taking your time to come to the supper of the return of our beloved crown princess, far from the bottom of my heart, I'm so happy that you all came with us to celebrate this joy" Albert said in a standing ovation.

"I am also very grateful that you care so much about me and come to this banquet, just as my crown prince is also very happy with your arrival. It's hard to express this joy in words. But I hope you can feel that kebahagain, from this banquet as proof. Enjoy this feast, toast!" Vanessa raised a glass filled with her wine followed by all the nobles.

"Return!" shouted all the nobles then gulped down the wine in their glasses.

After that Vanessa took her hand off Albert and ran down the stairs to the dance floor, she circulated her gaze looking for the whereabouts of Isabella and Charlize. 

"Meet!" Vanessa ran up to Charlize and then she pulled the man's hand, after a few moments of looking around her she found Isabella and took her sister to the middle of the dance floor right next to Charlize.

"Seeze everything!" Vanessa claps her hand making everyone's attention center on her.

"These two men are my brothers, they have risked their lives to save me from the kidnapping. I don't know how I should thank them, but if you will. Can I have these two dance to open the dance tonight?" vanessa asked to get the approval of them all.

"Vanessa this …." Isabella refused. But, Charlize undid her intentions.

"It's your sister's wish not to refuse, after all we just dance it," said Charlize who inevitably Isabella must agree.

"Vanessa, what are you doing? we haven't talked about this before, I haven't even agreed on this" Albert whispered. She did not want the first dance performed by Charlize with Isabella.

It is said that the first dance performed in pairs at a party, believed to bind the couple to be together forever. And Albert didn't want that until it happened to both of them.

"Before you didn't talk to me about inviting Charlotte to that tea party, and I haven't even agreed. So please just this time don't stop me, I want to see the two of them together" Vanessa replied, making Albert uneasy.

"Why you just shut up Albert, do something. If this dance happens then I will make Vanessa pay for it, how dare she snatch my partner and make him dance with another woman," Samantha squeezed the wine glass in her hand.
