Vampire'S Secret Baby
|131|. You Love Your Majesty very much

"Why do you think that?" Madam Belinda knitted her pair of eyebrows.

Annette squeezed out her heavy red dress, "She said it herself"

Belinda breathed a heavy sigh. He could feel the deep disappointment of Annette's body gesture which seemed very helpless and resigned.

"I think, your majesty has been mistakenly aware of her feelings. I know and I'm very sure that your majesty loves you very much"

Annette raised her head, her black eyeballs trembling faintly meeting Belinda's old eyes.

"The noble one has a tragic experience in a relationship. So I thought, that's the cause"

"..." - ".Annette stared in silence. Of course he already knew the tragic story of what the old woman meant.

"The noble one refuses to acknowledge his true feelings for you. I think it happened because the noble was too afraid to realize the existence of the feeling or maybe he tried to deny it. Noble trust in love and relationships, however, has been damaged once with very shapeless damage. It will be difficult to repair the damage"

Annette understands. How broken that severity is. Someone much loved Egbert, one night came strangling him— carrying the ambition to kill him.

What an unhelpful damage!

Belinda took Annette's hand and held it gently, "Loving someone takes trust. It's as simple as we can be with him from night to morning without having to worry that his whereabouts will hurt us. Maybe, like that in the noble case"

"..."

"This old woman has taken care of the noble for a long time, from childhood to adulthood, I have seen all the processes of its development. So I have to say, the child's trust in love is like a pottery. If it fell and shattered, he would not return to his original form. But that doesn't mean it can't be fixed"

Madam Belinda stared at Annette inside.

"You have repaired the broken pottery"

That was why Egbert no longer hesitated to spend the night with Annette until dawn.

"Even if it cannot return to its initial form and there are quite obvious cracks marks"

That's why Egbert can no longer declare his love as good as before. Even consider it as no longer exist.

"But the aesthetics provided can add value so as to coat the rift with beauty. Like broken pottery glued back with precious metals such as gold and liquid silver, by itself broken pottery would be a beautiful improvement. So I want you to be that precious metal, which will repair the damage to a noble trust in love. Which not only improves, but also adds to its value, so that the noble can come back brave to love.."

With values related to the purity and sincerity of the love Annette brought to Egbert, Belinda is very confident it will happen.

"Can you do it?"

Annette's eyeballs involuntarily clashed.

"I-i'm.." Annette felt an extremely heavy burden come pressing down on both of her shoulders.

Belinda tightened her grip and gave Annette a meaningful look, "I know you can do it"

"Why are you so sure?"

"That's because I can see, you love your majesty so much"

No woman can stand the fact that her love is clapping one hand. He'll be gone soon, except for two things..

If it wasn't for the woman being too stupid the last one would have been because she was too in love.

And those two things, they're very subtle differences.

One of the servants came to shake off the silence between Annette and Madam Belinda.

"En, you can go"

Afterwards Madam Belinda took Annette to the dining room and politely invited him to taste the dishes.

"There's still something I have to take care of, this old lady please step down.."

Madam Belinda is more polite than ever. Clearly the old woman had recognized Annette's position in her heart as the crown princess and wife of the crown prince.

Annette politely nodded and saw the old woman leave the dining room.

In the party room, Egbert had grown tired of serving the nobles in every one of those fawning conversations. He decides to go and find Annette. But his steps were suddenly blocked by a woman in a pink dress. She is much younger than Annette.

"Your highness the crown prince.." The girl bowed politely to him, "Include me Lady Clare Winston, daughter of Viscount Winston"

Egbert stared straight, his face expressionless and his mouth saying nothing at all.

It made the girl bite her lower lip with a complicated feeling, "Every member of the imperial family, is required to dance at least three times at the official royal feast. Therefore, can I have that honor to be your second noble dance partner?"

The first dance was done with his legal wife. The second and third dances, the imperial family can do it with a concubine if they have one or choose one of the ladies who catch their attention.

But it's just a tradition, not a necessity. It was already common knowledge among the nobles.

"You are the daughter of Viscount Winston?"

The young girl named Clare nodded her head gracefully, "True noble"

Egbert actually wanted to reject it straight away. But think of being more polite. However soon he would become emperor, he had to learn more decisively and authoritatively in controlling his emotions and actions.

"Please learn more about your general knowledge of the official royal party rules. Which one is tradition and which one is a must, you have to memorize it well"

The young girl's face turned red. As if I knew his mistake.

"I'm sorry, I can't give that honor to Lady. Because I had no intention of enjoying a tradition that would hurt my wife. You are a woman, may the lady understand the meaning of my words"

Finished saying that, Egbert took a step away from leaving the young girl. For a moment he sighed, it was his polite demeanor that he had worked the most.

From a distance it appeared that Viscount Winston was coming at the princess with a flushed face holding back the embarrassment, "Foolish girl! Why would you make such a small mistake?"

The young girl looked down at the floor. His pair of eyes were hot red and his heart was very sick. The noble refusal of the crown prince did hurt his feelings a little, but his father who came immediately obeyed him in public. That makes it even more sad.

In the back there ran a viscountess who instantly came holding his daughter's shoulder and defended her, "Please hold yourself. The party that the crown prince held was still not over.."

The viscountess was very disappointed in her husband. Scolding his daughter in public like that, is the man willing to make his daughter lose face and which noble man will come to propose?

Viscount Winston was aware of his mistake. He just shut up and left.

Lady Clare no longer had the face to continue being at the party. Before leaving the party hall, he said to his mother, "Dad who wants me to do it. Now that I've let her down, I definitely don't want me to stay here any longer.."

Viscountess looked extremely helpless for her daughter. Patriarchy in this country, making it can only resign and can not do anything.

"Mom, I'm leaving"
