Chapter 5

Margaery had the habit of getting up early to take a bath. When Arthur came into the bedroom to serve her, she had already gone to the bathroom to take a shower.

Looking at the tulle dress casually thrown beside the bed, Arthur's eyes wandered guiltily.

Last night, in this very place, he kissed Her Highness' calf and committed suicide.

The sprayed semen dripped onto the ground. Although it had been cleaned up, if you look carefully, you can still see some dried white turbidity on the long cashmere hair.

But the clothes Her Highness had taken off were just there. Somehow, the man picked up the long skirt that still smelled like the girl's body. He should have put it in the basket and waited for the maid to pick it up, but instead he secretly took it to his room.

After doing this, Arthur seemed restless all day.

It was the time of the autumn harvest, and the tax money collected at each level was transported to the royal capital. The nobles also left the territory with the convoy to participate in the annual autumn hunt.

Margaery has been handling state affairs since she was fourteen years old, and she knew that these days would be the most lively in the palace and the most likely to cause accidents.

As the captain of the guard responsible for the security of the palace, Arthur has extremely important responsibilities.

But when she and Anthony were discussing the defense of the palace before the autumn hunt, she found that the man was distracted.

「Arthur,」 the girl's cold voice woke the man up. He raised his head subconsciously and dropped a bone china tea cup with a bang, 「Don't you know how to be a captain of the guard? Then get out of here!」

「Your Highness...」 Arthur muttered. The panic and shame that flashed across his face at that moment made Anthony, the bystander, feel unbearable. He immediately lowered his head and replied in a low voice and respectfully, 「Yes, I humbly excuse myself.」

Why would Her Highness be so hurtful? Just as Anthony was about to comfort him, the girl sitting at the table added coldly: 「Let Allen come in.」

Allen is the deputy captain of the guard team. Hearing these words, Arthur suddenly shrank, and the sadness in his eyes became heavier, but he still retreated quietly, and a moment later, Allen pushed the door open and entered.

「I wonder why Your Highness summons me?」 Compared to Arthur, who was always submissive in front of Margaery, Allen's posture seemed more comfortable.

「I'll leave the palace's defense work to you,」 the girl said in an understatement, and in one sentence she wiped away all the power from Arthur, 「Report directly to Anthony, no need to go through Arthur.」

Allen was obviously surprised: 「I dare to ask, did Captain Arthur make any mistake?」

「I'm afraid his ability is not enough.」

Her Highness the Princess obviously did not want to talk about this matter any more, so Allen had no choice but to retreat. After that, Anthony hesitated to speak several times and also remained silent under the girl's cold gaze.

After Anthony withdrew and she was the only one left in the room, she leaned back on the chair and let out a heavy breath.

She lost her temper with him again. Ever since she was a child, whenever Margaery had something unpleasant, her outlet was to find any excuse to lose her temper at Arthur.
