Sincerely, The Villainess (Dropped)

Chapter 3

It was a blissful morning as I swept down capital. As Prince Sane Wished I was to invite him to tea but unfortunately I cannot invite him to such place where my parents would suspect me. I could only imagine mother slapping me on my cheek.

The golden bell jingled as I push the door forward. The same feeling as always, it was like I could scream as loud as I could in this small store I stayed. To the second floor I straightly went; I sat on a chair with a window view. It would be lovely to have a book paired with tea-

"Malady would you like some tea?"

"P-prince Sane"

To my utter most surprise Prince Sane popped up from the blue. He had a brown vest that tucked into his slender torso he had boots with neatly done laces and a freshly brushed hair, I could not help but blush a little, I sipped on the tea in attempt to brush the thought aside.

"this tea surely is from high quality... I bet you stole this from the palace's kitchen"

"pffft, I'm not sure if you're joking or serious with what you said"

"why? could a 14 years old lady not have such sense of humor"

"My lady is really special huh... I expected for a tea invite you know"

"w-well I was feeling a little suffocated so I needed some fresh air"

"My lady does talk really clumsily"

Clumsily huh, I was trying my really best. Prince Sane could notice a mismatch in the Dukedom that would lead to a much big problem well that is if prince Sane is quite the investigator.

The Palace or should I say the King's real intention is to break down the Duke's power and plans to give it to his offspring's. In total the King has 3 son's and one daughter. The 3rd son and daughter are an illegitimate child. They are probably about 2 years old right now (twins). Even though the Dukedom gives as much support as possible.

The Royal Palace is yet to throw something not necessary anymore.

I looked at the tea that had such a warm feeling. The color was barely brown and as I move a little the tea it made small to big rings through the water I could not help but say...

"but really prince Sane, this tea tastes lovely"

I could not see prince Sane's face but... I felt like he had put on a warm smile for me. He sat down in front of me as he puts his elbow on the table cupping his cheek, his hair moved backwards as he turns his head to the window side. It was not like I felt uncomfortable with Prince Sane that I felt this wrong, it's just I felt too comfortable and defenseless when it comes to Prince Sane.

Moments of peaceful silence filled the place, only sound of people outside the shop and birds chirping filled my ears.

"somethings up huh"

"hm?"

'Somethings up' was what Prince Sane mumbled, how odd of the prince. It was as if like he was talking to air. I sipped on my tea brushing off what he said. The tea was warm to its finest, I could taste the filtered water and it wasn't that sweet. I wonder if Prince Sane could read minds.

As I was occupied thinking of trivial things, I noticed slightly a shining like dove landing on the table. How elegant... wait.

"what- why is there a dove on the table??"

"calm down my lady, someone just wanted to send a letter"

"send?"

"yes, my lady"

The dove stood on the table; as soon as Prince Sane grabbed the letter, the dove slowly disappeared into small particles. So, this was magic. I glanced back at Prince Sane and tried to read his facial expression who had eye brows furrowed.

"Prince Sane did something happen?"

"My Lady I think it would be best to head back"

"and why is that?"

"well unfortunately I am closing the store for today"

Prince Sane said with a smile, it was surely very humiliating to be thrown out a shop especially when you're a noble, but knowing he is a Prince and a relative his words must mean something and plus he could've left the shop to a trusted personnel.

I must go home this instant...

Royal Palace Officials Meeting

The meeting was as chaotic as ever if people would say. As his Majesty's representative I feel like bursting.

"please settle down everyone"

"and why would we you're not even noble"

"hah, well then... I may not be noble but I am the King's representative"

I said as I gritted my teeth uncomfortably. Everything was such a mess, I couldn't even start with the meeting because of these scums.

"now, now... everyone I think it would be best to at least listen to the meeting holder. This is a Kingdom matter"

The silver hair that shined in the sun, just like his majesty's. Nice one! Duke Christian really is the best.

"I'm afraid I haven't introduced myself yet, as you all may know from rumors, I am the new representative of his Majesty the King. My name is Hen, originally the first prince consort, due to some circumstances I will now be his Majesty's representative" ...
