"What is the meaning of this paper, Your Majesty?!" Weston loudly demanded before the doors were even shut behind him. He walked up to the King, with a fierce scowl on his face. Nonetheless, he nodded his head in respect.

Lisa noticed how quickly Jennie had flinched. Did raised voices scare her? His eyes narrowed upon her.

"Your Majesty," Weston growled out.

Weston had woken up to an unpleasant surprise. He skipped the chauffeur, and directly drove his car to the palace, skipping all of the red lights. If he didn't have the royal license plates, then he would've earned multiple and lengthy tickets— perhaps even to get his license revoked.

Weston Fitzcharles couldn't fathom the audacity of the King. To marry such a weak and humiliating little human? What was His Majesty thinking?! He obviously wasn't!

"This early in the morning and you're already yelling," Lisa lazily drawled out.

Lisa hadn't seen Weston this riddled up, since the times he would sneak out of the palace instead of completing document work. Now, life has become too busy and he had too many country affairs to deal with.

"Of course I would be yelling when you send this atrocious proposal to my desk!" Weston screeched. He slammed his hand upon the paper.

Weston acted like he had been betrayed by the country and his family was sent to prison.

Lisa's gaze wandered to Jennie again. She was trying her best to not jump again. But her hands were shaking. He narrowed his eyes.

" Jennie," Lisa suddenly said, much to Weston's dismay.

Weston's brows shot up. They were on first name bases?! "Your Majesty—"

"A strange woman is demanding your presence, claiming she will take a bath in my fountain and pluck all the flowers from the bushes if she doesn't see you," Lisa said.

Jennie blinked at her words. A single woman came to mind.

"Easton," he firmly said. "Guide my fiancee," he emphasized the latter just to piss off Weston. "To the parlor room [1] near the Garden of a Thousand Roses."

Easton blanched. That parlor room was reserved for the most esteemed guest of the Queen of Wraith! Did his Majesty truly acknowledge this beautiful, but demure little woman as the Queen?! Did that mean, she truly was the Golden Rose?

"C-come with me, Princess," Easton stumbled out. His smile became strained, but gentle towards her.

Jennie warily glanced at Easton and then Lisa. Lisa slowly nodded his head, letting her know it was alright. With slight hesitation, Jennie followed Easton out of the room. The doors were closed shut by the guards stationed outside.

She noticed they were strapped with guns. Wordlessly, Jennie followed Easton down the hallways. He walked with a skip to his steps.

"So," Easton excitedly spoke up. He turned his head in the Princess's direction and flashed her a thousand-watt smile, in hopes of charming her. This always worked with the ladies, who'd fawn over him.

Jennie didn't. She simply stared at him with a blank expression.

Awkward...

"Tell me a little bit about yourself, Princess!" Easton already knew everything there was to know about her.
