Seeing everyone look like they were supposedly having fun at this gathering, I sorta felt like I was the odd one out. Did they really think this was 'fun'? Or where they just acting?

I didn't want to act...But I also didn't want to bring any attention to myself. It was like a double-edged sword of being killed with boredom or acting...A lose lose situation!

Sighing, I went back into being the 'Princess' that I was supposed to be and tried to think of something else.

Anything, anything is better than looking at people who can just sit there like statues or give fake smiles and interest.

Yet, this was why I was able to handle the next half hour...Because I was holding myself back from laughing about one of the people down to one side from where I was.

The Crowned Prince and I were seated closer to the King then this person, and this person, I had heard something about him a week ago.

He was just a normal official and apparently, he had lost something valuable while working. If my information was correct, this person was trying to keep a low profile right now because he hadn't found what he had lost yet!

The maids had giggled after I heard them speak of this, as it seemed they knew the answer to this poor man's mistake.

I had tried to stick around to find out, but I had been told to move on from there and work elsewhere, before I found out!

But still, that person must be looking high and low for what he had lost, and I just know that someone knows where it is but isn't telling him...

"Try this, Your Highness, it is divine!" Still, that voice nearly makes me cringe every time.

Straight away, I lose my interest in the official and his business and automatically become bored once again.

Ah, she pokes her head in aye...

I call this second wife of the Crowned Prince, the weasel. She even looked like a weasel!

She was tall and had big ears...I really tried to wonder how she continues to think that she's pretty!

I hate it that she stands before me and I have to look up to her, it's really annoying!

Apparently, I'm the Princess Consort, yet, I don't feel like it whenever I'm around the weasel...

"Thank you." I heard the Warmonger say, as he takes whatever she gave to him.

I wouldn't take it Warmonger, it could hold some disease that makes you get big ears...

Taking my eyes away from them, I nearly slumped in my chair again, to my annoyance and being bored.

At the moment...I feel utterly surrounded by enemies...

The Warmonger might say he's protecting me, but he rarely sees me, and apparently that is seen by many and is still a way of bullying.

The weasel has used her height, status and power against me a few times, which only makes me feel even more lonely in the end.

How was I supposed to know that I needed an aunt or uncle that could help me achieve anything!?

My dad and I had no other family, no power, so...All I had...Was myself.

Sadly, a couple of times now, Diane had even copped some of the troublesome things that have happened...Both being my maid and becoming the 'Princess Consort' for a day...
