Everyone was going back to their room. Fennel called Penelope, the Duke and Derrick went to their respective office, and Reynold went to his room to bring his letter and hand it over to fennel to get it delivered in the Imperial Palace.

On his way, he saw Penelope and fennel standing with a bunch of boxes. As he reached there he saw a golden seal.

"Is...this from the crown prince?"

"Yes." Fennel answered.

"....."

Reynold looked at the boxes then Penelope and mumbled,

"You and the crown prince... Oh never mind..."

Penelope heard that and snarled,

"You and her highness... Oh never mind!"

"Wait wait wait!" Reynold flustered.
"Complete your sentence! What do you mean?!"

"What are you yelling for?! you did the same thing?!"

"I doubted you guys from the hunting competition anyway!" He huffed and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Oh yeah?! Why are you so concerned about her highness so much nowadays?!"

"Huh?!"

(PS: these guys completely forgot that fennel exists.)

Camille's POV

(In her office)

Scribble scribble scribble--

Knock knock--

"May I come in?" Kyra asked for permission.

"Yes come in."

"Your Highness there is a letter from the Eckarts mansion..."

'Huh...? What happened? Is it from Penelope...?'

"Yes..."

Kyra kept the letter on my table and left the room. I turned the envelope and saw an unexpected name on it.

"Reynold..."

I read the letter quietly and chuckled.

'This character is really something... The way he is trying to formal with me... It's funny...'

I had an unknown smile hooked on my lips.

"Tomorrow..."

***************

Crown Prince's birthday

Camille's POV

"Princess get up! hurry!" Lucy yelled.

"Uh..huh..."

I was forced to get up early in the morning and instead of a morning greeting, I got yelled at by an old lady (Lucy: I'm not that old!).

The maids were all over me, I was hungry but my wishes were ignored.

'This is truly tiring...' I sighed.

After a while, I felt that slowly hands were going away from me, giving me some space to breathe.

I turned around and glanced at myself in the mirror.

'I look gorgeous... So pretty...'

"Beautiful..." I mumbled under my breathe.

"Your highness do you like it?"

"Yes, I do..."

Lucy looked as if she has won a noble prize.

I chuckled and started looking for the gift.
