~The String of Fate~ discontinued... Well, continued on another account 😁😁

Chapter 19:

"Luden! Can I do some cherry make-up on you?" I kicked the door to Luden's office open while holding a basket of cherries on my head.

Only to run into Luceus Netarus. He was having a meeting with Luden, who was his advisor or something, and I was intruding.

"Get out, go do it on Avis." Luden dismissed as I simply walked out with a "Okay!" Not in the mood to deal with a tyrant crown prince.

Of course, I didn't close the door.

"... Lord, just take me now." Luden sighed deeply massaging his temple as Pennel patted his head and closed the door for him. "I apologize for her."

"Don't. This is a rather refreshing change to her usual behavior." Luceus replied wearing a rather amused expression on his face while Luden side-eyed him.

"You can't be serious, your highness..." Luden muttered with a rather concerned expression on his face.

"Oh, but I am. It was the same as the last Imperial ball, it's as if she's a completely different person. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't find it amusing." Luceus continued.

"In fact, I think it'd be a good decision to bring her along with you to the hunting festival this year." Luceus suggested as Luden's jaw dropped open.

"You can't be serious, your highness?!" Luden repeated, shooting out of his seat with a very concerned expression on his face.

They had never brought Sovine along to a hunting festival since three years ago when she almost killed Baron Hilorium's daughter for looking at her the wrong way.

Especially since the hunting festival was usually three weeks long at least. It'd be madness to bring her along again!

But if the crown prince himself says to do so, they had no choice but to obey.

"Oh. But I am." The damned crown prince smirked at Luden, clearly enjoying himself while Luden gritted his teeth.

"I... Understand..." Luden reluctantly agreed, this was the main reason why Luden had been able to keep the position of advisor the longest after all.

He was the only one who could humor Luceus's absurd demands with in ways with the least consequences.

"That's great!" Luceus grinned.

"Avis! Cherry- ARGHHH!" I kicked the door to Avis's room open only to screech when a bucket of water was tossed on me.

"BEGONE DEMON! THIS IS HOLY WATER FROM-" "WHAT THE FUCK AVIS?!" I threw the bowl of cherries which now also had water on him.

"KWAJAAAAAA!" Avis screeched and tumbled off his bed frame which he was previously standing on.

"What the hell is "Kwaja"?" Vidoro suddenly entered the room with Ardeat behind him with the most fed up expression ever in her face.

"Oh- Ardeat! Have you-" "BEGONE!" Avis suddenly threw yet another bucket of holy water on me while I tackled him to the ground.

"DEMON!" Avis squealed.

"My lady, young master. Please, you two have to get ready now to meet Grand Duke Romanus." Ardeat informed as Avis and I finally stopped wrestling on the ground.

"Who the fuck is Grand Duke Romanus?" We both asked simultaneously.

"Your fiancé, my lady." Ardeat responded as I immediately jumped back up to my feet remembering the meeting we had planned today.

He had also requested that Avis come this time around too, for some reason. But I had to get ready!

I mean, going there wet would be a pretty good disaster too but Ardeat wouldn't accept that no matter the circumstances.
