Mysteries of the Ultimate War God

Sister-in-law

Selena murmured their names and nodded at them. She then said with a smile, "Hope to establish a rapport with you two."

When Violet saw her turning around to climb the stairs, she bowed as she said, "Your Highness, Master has asked us to get you familiar with the Palace and the others, if you would like to?"

As Selena heard that, she frowned and turned to look at her. When she was about to reply to her, she saw the princesses and the Sixth Prince walking down the stairs. She bowed at them when they came down.

The three princesses and the Sixth Prince just nodded at her but didn't say a word. After all, this was a marriage decreed by their father and they all have no good impression of noblewomen. All noblewomen have been taught how to seduce the Princes and gain favour for their parents.

However, the youngest princess, Ariana, had walked up to Selena and said, "Greetings, beautiful lady!"

When Princess Alaina, Princess Yana, Princess Liana and the Sixth Prince Nairon heard Princess Ariana speaking in such a respectful tone and utmost manners, they were astounded.

Princess Ariana has never once spoken in such a respectful tone towards them and had only displayed her courteousness on official occasions, so when they saw her being so respectful and courteous, they were dumbstruck in awe.

Selena was astounded to see the youngest princess walking up to her and addressing her as a beautiful lady. She quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Princess!"

Princess Ariana smiled and said, "How shall I address you, beautiful lady?"

Selena was dumbstruck by the question. When she opened her mouth to answer, she heard a voice from the stairs.

Rydon was walking down the stairs when he saw Ariana walking towards Selena. When he heard Selena addressing Ariana as a princess, a small smile grew on his lips. When Ariana asked her the question, he said in a clear voice, "You all shall address her as sister-in-law!"

All of them; the princesses, the Sixth Prince, the concubines and Selena; turned towards the stairs to look at him when he said that.

His siblings were about to address Selena as the Third Princess, after all, that's what all the noblewomen in the kingdom coveted the most. Violet and Hazel thought that the siblings would be addressing Her Highness as Princess Selena, while Selena was expecting them to call her by her name.

When they all heard him telling them to address her for what she is, their sister-in-law, they were astounded.

Princess Ariana was the only one who was happy when she heard that she can call her as sister-in-law. She turned to Selena and said, "Sister-in-law, shall we play together?"

Everyone, including Rydon, was astounded when they heard Ariana asking for her permission when she has always been froward with them.

Selena lowered her head and said slowly, "Princess, forgive me for I do not know how to play."

Everyone had a look of disbelief. Every noblewoman has been well-groomed and pampered from a young age. It was implausible that a noblewoman does not know how to play.

Princess Ariana took a step towards Selena. She took Selena's left hand in both of her hands and said, "It's alright, I shall guide you."

Rydon looked at Ariana and said, "First, we shall have breakfast, then the rest. Go and have breakfast." The Sixth Prince and the four princesses obliged and walked towards the dining table.

Rydon watched his siblings walk away and saw Selena standing in the same place from the corner of his eyes, so he turned towards her and said softly, "Why are you still here? Take a seat with everyone."
