Royal Secret : I'm a Princess!

WELCOME TO MY BOOK READING CLUB

Chapter 35

"MY SON, how was your first day of class?" Neoma asked Lewis excitedly. "Did you have fun? Did you learn a lot? Did someone dare to bully you?"

"Class okay," Lewis said in his usual monotone voice. "No bully."

She waited for her butler to talk more but he didn't.

[Oh, well. Lewis is Lewis.]

Right now, they were on their way to the "Prince Nero's Royal Library." Sir Glenn and Lewis were walking half a step behind her. Stephanie, Alphen, and three other maids were walking behind the two.

She spent half of the day apart from Lewis while she was on her daily classes. On the other hand, her butler went to the study hall of House Marquis to have classes with Byron and Harry.

Lewis went back to the palace after that.

And now, she would spend her afternoon with the three boys for her Book Reading Club.

[According to Alphen, it's Nero's original idea.]

Of course, her father wouldn't build a library for her. She wasn't disappointed to know that the library was built for Nero because in the first place, she was never interested to have one anyway. Plus, this was just work for her.

[I'm a professional.]

Anyway, she wasn't that impressed when she arrived at the Sapphire Palace. Of course, the palace was elegant and luxurious. But it paled in comparison with Blanco Palace– which was understandable because her palace was built for every crown prince born in the royal family.

When they entered the royal library, she was quite surprised.

The bookshelves were really huge and each shelf was filled with different books. Gosh, just looking at those already made her feel sleepy.

She remembered that during her first like as a weak princess, she did nothing but study so that she wouldn't feel irrelevant. When she was reborn in the modern world, she didn't devote herself to studies alone. She learned the importance of balance thanks to her loving parents in that world.

[Mom and Dad taught me to study hard and play harder.]

This time, she just wanted to be a woman of leisure.

[I can't wait to be a capitalist that will exploit the overly wealthy noble families in this f*cking empire.]

"Greetings to the First Star of the Great Moonasterion Empire," Byron and Harry greeted her when she arrived at the second floor of the library.

The butlers behind the young noble children also bowed to greet her.

"Good afternoon, Brother Byron and Brother Harry," Neoma greeted the boys brightly. She decided to greet them casually because she needed to get close to them. All for the sake of her mission, of course. "Shall we begin our first book discussion?"

***

NEOMA raised a brow when she saw the thick books in front of Byron and Harry.

Right now, they were in the study hall in the second floor of the royal library. They occupied the table in the middle of the hall. She sat in the center while Lewis sat in her right side. Harry was in her left side and Byron sat beside Harry.

She asked their servants to wait in the first floor because she didn't want them to hear the story that she chose to "read" to the children for today.

"So, what books do you suggest that we read today?" Neoma asked with a big smile while looking at Byron and Harry. Of course, she already decided the "book" that they were going to discuss. But of course, it was only right to ask for the noble children's opinion first. You know, for the sake of formality. "Let's hear you out, gentlemen."
