A royal tailor is brought to the red moon palace. Measure the body of Annette to make a special dress that will be worn on the night of the party. Quite late considering the party will be held in two days. Inevitably the team of palace tailors put in full time and effort to prepare the dress.
Annette started eating regularly. Sometimes he even comes to the kitchen to control the waiters while cooking. Comment on a few things while teaching them some recipes. At first Annette thought it would be difficult to interact with them. Remembering those who are stiff and do not speak much. But after doing so, he just got used to it.
"So you've been married without my knowledge?" Anthony sat on his throne. Rubbing the arm of the golden chair with his eyes staring inward as if to make it always his own.
Egbert sat on the lower seat, in front of him was already a table that provided a glass of fresh cow blood. The emperor's favorite animal blood temporarily.
"Yes, I did" His eyes had no particular emotion. There's no trace of guilt. Take a glass and sip it a little. Egbert pursed his lips feeling it was a little bit bitter.
Anthony's eyes flashed coldly. His hand that was holding the arm of the chair clenched tightly, suppressing his anger in the heart. He was really sorry why he had not just killed that arrogant boy!
"You know what you're doing is so disrespectful?" Anthony decided to be straightforward and straightforward, "However I am your Uncle, you should have told the elders for such a big thing. You must remember your identity as crown prince, requiring you not to be able to just marry a random woman. But what is this? I don't even know where your wife came from and whether her family is classy enough to be with our imperial family.haa"
Egbert bent the corner of his lips, suppressing the wry smile in his eyes that stared into the deep-red glass in a bored manner, "That's why I didn't tell you. My wife is a woman who lives a single life. You guys will definitely not let me marry her. That's why I married her without your knowledge"
"You already know that" Anthony's eyes narrowed with a cold smile, "Then go divorce your wife. Because me and the elders will never approve of your relationship"
Egbert stared indifferently at the extremely selfless middle-aged man, "No"
"Egbert!" Anthony growled furiously.
Egbert's lips twitched coldly in response.
"Uncle, I know you're old. That's why I have to remind you of this. I'm just the temporary crown prince. As soon as I have a legitimate son, I will take over your place. So if you can say I'm the real emperor. So whatever decision I make, it's up to me— not you"
Anthony was bluffing his teeth suppressing his wrath. Clearly Egbert had just declared subtly. If he's coming to get rid of his position. Anthony did not know whether to regret it or not. All this time he thought Egbert just likes to play around in human land and too lazy to wrestle with the throne. But who would have thought secretly that boy would?
'How stupid am I!'
'That rancid boy has been playing sneaky behind my back'
As if reading the old man's thoughts, Egbert said, "Uncle, I know you're old. That's why I'm secretly doing this behind your back. I'm thinking about you, I think it's time you had enough rest"
Finished saying that Egbert woke up from his seat and without a word— he had left the place with his posture that was running haughty.
After Egbert's departure, Anthony instantly exploded with rage, "Sialll!"
He gathered his men together, and unreservedly commanded them, "I want you to kill the crown prince's wife"
But Egbert had already read through his plan. He knew his uncle was quite good at the scheme, but lately due to the age factor. He became an impatient figure that made him no doubt to be so careless.
Annette was drifting and feeling so calm.
A servant came to bring her a cup of tea and cookies. The waiter put down the cup and filled it with tea. From the aroma that steals along with white smoke that soars into the air. Annette inhaled the thick aroma of tea leaves mixed with jasmine flowers. Annette lifted the cup and took a sip.
Annette furrowed her brows and her lips furrowed, "This is too sweet. Next time use less sugar"
"Well miss, then I'll go replace it with a new one"
"There's no need to replace it" Annette didn't want to trouble the waiter.
"You can go"
"Okay, then excuse me"
Annette picked up one of the cookies that were still warm. Presumably it was just removed from the grill. Biting him a piece, the butter flavor instantly broke on his tongue along with the milk and honey flavors.
"They really work hard"
It has been a few days, but it has been able to prepare food and even bake cakes. Of course it's a great achievement.
Egbert had just walked into the park. There he saw Annette sitting in a garden chair, looking to enjoy a cookie in her mouth. Annette wearing a pink dress with her usual golden brown hair was now bunched up. Completed with small tongs with floral decoration Peony color matching with her dress.
Her appearance was like that, making her look like a noble princess. Egbert had just taken a few steps forward. At first he wanted to walk to where Annette was sitting, casually.
But her pupils dilated, when she saw an arrow coming from the north, it darted quickly ready to land behind Annette right in the heart. Using his inner power, as fast as lightning Egbert came to pick up the arrow. Annette who had just sipped her tea, was shocked.
"Why did you arrive-tib—"
It turned out that there were still other arrows coming from the air. Egbert threw the arrow to the ground and quickly brought Annette's thin body to the ground. Do not forget his hand held the back of the woman's head, so as not to hurt when hitting the grassy ground.
Annette was still recovering from her shock. As his mouth opened it wanted to ask why Egbert suddenly pulled him down to the ground, at that moment his eyes blinked full of surprise and fear seeing thousands of arrows coming from various corners of the— they fell like a bunch of ice chips in a snowstorm .
"Shield under me"
Annette could hear Egbert's heavy, ice-cold voice covered in anxiety mixed with veiled anger. Annette lowered her head and hid under Egbert's hard chest.
Just then Egbert was on top of her, her burly body wrapped in the oversized robe came squeezing the small body of Annette, trying hard to protect her.
