The Chronicle of Aurelia Aurelius

Chapter 21

I was quietly surprised by what the girl just said.

Lady Octavi, who was behind me, started to walk beside me and said.

"*Ehem* May this young lady introduce herself before speaking like that towards my lady?"

"Hmmm? How do I need to introduce myself to you, servant? Surely, you need to apologize to me with that attitude, servant.."

"I think you need the one for apologizing, young lady..."

"HA? My lady Aurelia, perhaps you do not train your servant well. This disgraceful servant dared to emit a single word in this great meeting."

"About th—"

Immediately, Lady Octavi stuck out her hand in front of my face and said, "No, my lady, you don't need to speak a single word toward them before this young one apologizes."

"Is this how the Aurelius Family, a gold family that makes all the nobles envy it, serves the guests? Why does my Lady Aurelia just keep quiet about this behavior?"

"If you know well about the Aurelius Family, surely you know well whether the servants are or not."

"Aurelia!" Finally, the Prince spoke the words, "Control your servant, Immediately!! If you let this continue, she will stain my honor."

"I don't mean to stain your honor or your renown, Crown Prince... I know you are a man of honor and a man of valor in the academy...You are my underclassman; surely I know you... But this is a disgrace for my lady and for me."

"I am your underclassman???" The Prince seemed to take a closer look at Lady Octavi "Don't tell me, you are the Hawk?"

The Hawk? Was that how Lady Octavi was called in the academy?

"I don't quite like that nickname, but yes, like your highness thinks, I am Octavi Claudi, and I am a daughter of VISCOUNT from the Claudi Family; maybe your highness knows me well in the academy..."

"I don't know if you are from the Claudi family...You had great sword movement back in the academy, and you achieved a perfect score on your graduation..."

I looked at Lady Octavi, I didn't know that she was that amazing.

"Your words are an honor to me, but the one who sits beside you, needs to apologize first for her words towards my lady and me... How dare she show that disgraceful attitude toward my lady and me, who have a higher peerage rank than her...And I am lost for words to know she could sit beside you; even I couldn't sit beside my lady like that."

"I apologize for my disgraceful behavior toward my lady Aurelia and Lady Octavi, where I didn't acknowledge and was mistaken as a servant. May this apology be pleasing to both of your hearts." Lady Anna apologized.

"I accept your apology." Lady Octavi said.

But, again, Lady Anna said something surprisingly "How about, Lady Octavi apologize on behalf of my lady Aurelia, who brought a servant behind her with daggers in her thighs.."

At once, all three guards in the room took a stance of guard...

I was shocked beyond words that she knew it, and even though I just knew about the maid's guard recently, I believed even the little two didn't know about it. How an outsider from the family knew about it

"Is that true, Aurelia?" the Prince asked.

"It's true... Adel, you may take out your daggers and remove them. I answered

Adel removed the ties from her daggers, and at once, I could hear all of her daggers fall. She picked them up and brought them to the guard. After that, she came back behind me.
