Her brothers and father seeing her off. They also said that they will be waiting for her later.

As they are about to go near the Palace, Ellesmeere looks at the view. She's the crown princess, no doubt, because the Crown Prince is her fiancé.

"Lady Ellesmeere de la Schulz arrives, my greetings your grace." She swiftly smiled and greet them back which taken aback the knight.

Sir Steve secretly smiled at the attitude of Ellesmeere.

A figure of women piqued her interest.

She slowly turned her face towards her. She gives off a simple greetings and smile to the unknown lady.

"Oh my, our dear little sun." The Empress warmly embrace her.

"Good Afternoon, your majesties." She slowly bow holding her smooth dress while bending her right foot.

The Empress giggles at her and the Emperor is smiling wodely at her.

"Am I late Father? Mother?"

"Oh, Greetings to the Lady of-" his words are cutted off when he saw how dazzling the lady in his eyes.

She's smiling warmly.

"Lady Ellesmeere." He continued as he kiss the right hand of his Fiancé.

"I greet the Moon  of the Empire, you highness, crown prince."

"Such formalities within the two tied people." The Emperor started to tease Ellesmeere and Crusoei.

"Come on, sit down, you two." The two of them quickly join the dinner arrangement for the 4 of them.

They had a pleasant dinner and talks about their future and stuffs.

"Oh, Lady Requila is still there, right?" The Empress asked the Prince. The Prince shows an awkward expression while sneaking a glance with Ellesmeere.

"Yeah.

"That's great. Our little sun here can meet her." Malaking ngiti nito sa anak.

Well, the thing is- there's an incident before they can meet each other in person. The Lady Requila, Princes of the next empire which is the representative of the Slynthi Empire. She just broke the Communication Magic Tool of the Prince because of her tantrums. Kinda childish 'no?

"Prince Crusoei!" After the Empress and Emperor leave. The atmosphere become cold and suddenly the Princess appears.

"Who's she?" Confirmed. She's a spoiled brat princess. She's raising her brows ignoring their greetings and manners.

"I'm the daughter of the Grand Duke, your highness" Casually answered with her manners. Ellesmeere already know who she is as she heard the name at the Empress.

The Princess is standing all might and prodly in front of her.

"She's Ellesmeere and she's my fiancé." The Prince said clearly and stand to her side.

The Princess looks at him with disbelief. Completely shocked at the sudden announcement of the Prince. Ellesmeere is also shocked because it's the first time they told someone about their status.

"This girl? Seriously?"

"Be careful on your words, Princess. You're also facing a Princess and obviously, the Crown Princess of this Empire." The Prince coldly replied.

Without being the Crown Princess, Ellesmeere is a royalty herself. It's because of her mother's bloodline, the esteemed Princess of Florida Kingdom also known as the Light Kingdom which the Lady Ellesmeere almost forgot.
