Over the next week, it was quite peaceful.
Now that we had settled our engagents, there was nothing left for us to do other than to flirt with each other and learn more about each other.
I learned quite a few things about the girls that I didn't know before, so I was quite happy since I felt much closer to them now that I learned these things.
This morning, we had been enjoying a nice breakfast together when all of a sudden, there was soone that ca in to interrupt it.
"Count, Countess, there's a guest here to see you!"
This person rushed in as they said this in a very loud voice.
It seed that they were very agitated, so the identity of this guest was most likely not very normal.
Not to ntion, we were able to see who it was that suddenly ca in.
It was Nicole, the one who worked for previously that Rose had taken under her wings.
She was one of Rose's trusted subordinates, so that ant that she was soone that wasn't shaken that easily.
If soone like her was even shaken, then this must be a very important guest.
But the strange thing that I noticed was that after coming in, she looked at the princess with a very strange look.
I couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Nicole didn't answer this directly and just said, "I think that the princess will be able to recognize this guest right away."
When the princess heard this, she couldn't help revealing a confused look before asking, "What do you an by that?"
Nicole didn't answer the question and just said, "The guest is currently waiting for you at the town hall. They are there since they said that this is an official visit."
Rose gave a nod before looking at .
I nodded back at her and stood up to follow her and Nicole over.
But before we could go, the princess suddenly stood up and said, "I want to go as well."
I looked at her and slowly gave a nod.
Since Nicole said that the princess would recognize the guest right away, then it was most likely a good idea for the princess to co with us. After all, Nicole wouldn't say this for no reason.
The only reason that she didn't directly ask the princess to co was because of the difference in status.
So she could only use this indirect thod in the end.
With the three of us following Nicole, we quickly made our way to the town hall.
When we arrived, we noticed that there was a carriage that we didn't recognize parked outside.
This carriage seed like so kind of incognito carriage used by an important person when they were traveling.
So it seed like this person was very important…
But when the princess saw this, she couldn't help knitting her brows.
This ti, I asked the princess, "Is sothing wrong?"
The princess slowly turned to look at before slowly shaking her head and saying, "It's not that sothing's wrong. It's just that if it's who I think it is…"
She didn't finish her sentence, but it was clear that she seed to have so idea of who this carriage belonged to like Nicole said.
Still, I wasn't in a rush to find out who it was, so I didn't pressure her for the answer.
We followed Nicole in and we found the person that we were looking for right away.
The mont that we saw him, I also recognized him.
This was a face that I definitely wouldn't be able to forget because of all the things that he had forced onto .
But I wasn't the one that spoke first when we ca into the room.
"Old fourth, I knew that it was you."
When the fourth prince heard this, he couldn't help jolting before turning to look at the princess with an awkward smile on his face, "Big sister, what are you doing here?"
The princess narrowed her eyes to look at him before saying, "You know exactly what I'm doing here. The question is, what are you doing here?"
The fourth prince revealed an awkward look as he said, "Well, I had no choice but to co."
The princess narrowed her eyes even more before saying, "I knew that you and royal father would regret this decision. I've already told you that I'll be marrying him, you can't convince otherwise."
The fourth prince shook his head and hands as he said, "No, no, that isn't what this is about at all."
The princess looked at him with a doubtful look as she said, "Really?"
It was just a single word, but it was filled with all the doubt that the princess could muster.
The awkward smile on the fourth prince's face beca even more awkward as he said, "Really, it isn't about that at all."
The princess still looked at him with doubt, but she didn't say anything else.
Instead, she just sat down and helped herself to so of the tea that had been prepared for the fourth prince.
The fourth prince shook his head with a faint smile when he saw this.
Seeing that they were finished with their thing, I gave a cough and said, "Your highness, you must be here for a reason, right?"
The fourth prince looked at with a displeased look and said, "You're already marrying my sister and you're still calling your highness? Aren't we already family?"
This ti, it was my turn to reveal an awkward smile, but I still said, "Then brother, is there a reason that you're here?"
The fourth prince gave a nod before suddenly revealing a serious look and saying, "There's actually a very important reason why I'm here today. There's sothing that I have to tell you."
I couldn't help revealing a surprised look before asking, "What is it?"
The fourth prince took a deep breath and said, "We're officially at war."
