"will you wear the Anklet my lady?"
I heard Ellie as I slowly opened my eyes to see me all dolled up.... Since today will be Sister's tea party and I'm obligated as a Silverton to attend
And lots of pretty pink ladies will be there attending while low-key badmouthing me
It's quite bad luck how people always talk about the 2 handsome guys that is the love of the most ladies gave me, a total underrated girl some love gifts
Luckily that those rumours will be died down when I'm not around, they only talked about those stuffs when I'm insight
"Yes please"I told her as she place the 'Dé Amuleté' in my Anklet, the necklace that I had won at the auction last week and as expected I won the bid by 1 jewel which shook everyone
I forged it into an anklet so that noone can see it, because if I wore it in my neck lots of nobles will recognize this antique necklace
And besides,I didn't use this amulet as an accessory to be shown off, I've used this to defend myself in unavoidable circumstances
"All finish up my lady, good luck on survivang a hellhound for a few hours"hearing Ellie's words I scoff and looked at her with a smug look
"Can I even survive the nasty looks sent by some nobles? Their so-called threatening words?"I sarcastically said as Ellie smiled lightly
"You can do it,my lady...after all,your more just the Black sheep"she told me as she patted my head
Ellie,filled the void of my loneliness.... She filled the void where my family neglected me
She's like a mother to me ....
I took a huge deep breath before I went out of my room and went to the greenhouse, where siser held her teaparty
The Greenhouse that filled with beautiful plants and garden trees...
And I'll survive this hell..... Even for a few hours....
•~*~*~*~*~•
"That's absurd!!"
As I drank my tea,I could hear the words of my fellow ladies, shock about the sudden rumours or so
Luckily that noone talked about me since I've arrived a while, because there has been rumours that some Count had affair with his slave or so
And I hated it...uggh...
Especially that the Princess has been glaring me since a while ago,
Probably because that I've rejected her invitation a week ago?
Or the fact that her prince charming is flirting with me,
It is actually well known that the Marquis is trying to have my hand in marriage and the Princess didn't like it even a single bit
I mean, who likes it when their love of their life likes someone else?
Marry Someone else in that matter?
Anyone will be mad....
Well, even if I'm dead ,the two won't even be together in the end of the story, since the Princess was banished and the Marquis have never found love...still inlove with the heroine, you know what I mean?
"But it seems that I rather had heard of rumours that will flip the kingdom"Lady Chroptin from the Chroptin Earldom stated as every lady looked in her direction
"Do tell us of the rumour you heard,Lady Chroptin?"
"I heard from my father that The King of the Northern Kingdom shall visit in early fall"she stated with a smile as every lady then gasp in surprise
The King, his highness Frederick Stirlingshire the youngest appointed King in the history of the Northern Kingdom
In the story...he visited in the kingdom and his first appearance is my older siblings' birthday, you could say that he attracted most of the Ladies' present making my sister pleased
Because noone is hovering over her precious Prince, but one thing I can say.....in the original story, Alyssa died in the spot, specifically in the arms of the King
Well, he is just an extra....like me
Just had a little of screentime in the story...
"Will he attend your birthday Lady Amelia?"A lady asked as I turn to look at sister with a smile plastered in her face
"Probably, since I heard from Father that his highness will be staying in our Duchy, when he stays in the kingdom" she simply replied as every lady is squealing so hard
And sister didn't mind one bit at the king, because you know how obsess she is with the Prince
"I heard that He is Quite a looker!"
"First His Highness,then the Marquis and here comes the King!!!"
"Will he choose me as his Queen?"
I sigh as I heard the neverending squeals of the ladies, who is very excited upon the news of the King visiting the kingdom
"Are you also excited Lady Alyssa?" Someone asked me as my attention diverted back to the Ladies in the party
"Pardon?"
"About the King's visit of course ..are you also excited what the mysterious king of the Northern Kingdom looked like?" The Princess told me with a smile that had an obvious meaning in it
I'm sure it means that I should be interested so back off from her own Prince Charming
But I've read in the story that the King is quite a handsome lad, and he's always dazzling.... Such a shame that the author didn't made him one of the Male leads
"I guess,but I'm not really excited on meeting such Royal since I almost become one...am I right?Imperial Princess?"I stated with a smile as then gave me a fake smile
Rolling her eyes at me,I turned to looked at sister Amelia who's obviously glaring at me for stating the truth that I almost become one of the Imperial Family
I'm just the Former Crown Princess, not a permanent since there is bound to be one in the future, for example the Heroine
I could care less since I'm just an imperfect extra...
"But Alyssa, aren't you gonna accept the Marquis' intentions for your hand? It's been weeks since he's courting you"sister suddenly said with a smile as every lady looked at my direction, with their jaws drop
"Wait...so the rumours are true that the Marquis is asking for Lady Alyssa in hand of marriage?"
"Are you gonna accept lady Alyssa?"
"It's not quite a shock news since the Marquis is one of your father's students "
The ladies rambled as I smiled lightly, and took a glimpse of the Princess who's eyes are twitching, holding her anger, but mostly because of her jealousy
Before I can utter a word-
*Clack*
And speak of the devil ....the princess strongly place her teacup in the table,grabbing everyone's attention
"It seems that Lady Alyssa had moved on from her break up with my brother, who is clearly not over for you yet"she said while gritting her teeth
I blink my eyes in her words ... "princess, it's been months from our break up and besides I have no intentions of accepting the Marquis"I stated with a small smile, relieving the princess who is actually doubting my words
"And besides, my relationship with the His Highness,is merely just political and I don't have the slightest feelings for him"I added as I turn to look at sister who is pleased by my words
"Well errm....have you heard of the new song composed by Sir Felix? It's so dreamy!" A lady then changed our topic
Probably seeing the murderous aura that sent by the Princess and Sister in my direction
And the whole time ...noone ever talk about the Crown Prince's and the Marquis' intentions for me
Probably because that those two strong ladies will be put in a bad mood which is quite dangerous
4 months from now, will be my sister's birthday....and 3 months from now will be Mother's arrival from her business overseas
While brother will arrive in the next two weeks....the final Male lead....that the Heroine will capture
It seems that there still a lot of things going on in this year for me..
And I better be ready for it...
