Chapter 423: : The Breakfast


    ?


    I was still deep in my sleep when I suddenly heard a loud banging on my door. I was so startled that I end up falling on my bed.


    I re at the door but my re turns into frown when I realize that the door is unfamiliar with me. I immediately look around and I only realize that I didn''t went homest night.


    It was alreadyte when I finished cleaning my office. I originally n to still go home but the coachman who send me here is already sleeping. So, I had no choice but to stay the night here.


    It''s a good thing that the eighth of us have our own room here. So, I don''t have to worry where to stay.


    "Dame Csille! Are you awake? The breakfast is already ready. Please wake up already. The others are on their way to the dining hall now. If you don''t wake up, you will make his highnesses wait." S said. She is the servant assigned to me.


    Aside from room, his majesty also assigned us a servant. Actually it''s more like an assistant than a servant because they are knowledgeable with the work assigned to each of us. Take for example, S, who is my servant, is knowledgeable with forging weapons.


    I frown when I heard what she said.


    His highnesses? Does he mean Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus? But I thought they already left the department when I arrived here yesterday. So howe they are here?


    I look at my time watch. It is six in the morning. Too early for them to be here for her majesty''s visit. Did they return to the departmentst night?


    "Dame Csille, please wake up already."


    I look at the close door and sigh before I open it. I was weed by a very worried S. I smile reassuringly at her. "I am awake S. You don''t have to bang on my door. You can go now, I will just fix myself and follow behind."


    "Do you need some help, Dame Csille?"


    I shake my head. "No, I can handle. Can you just help me check my office and see if it''s already presentable. We need to make sure that everything is okay for the Queen''s visit."


    S nods her head and immediately excuse herself to do what I ask her to do.


    While I prepare myself for the breakfast. I need to make sure I look presentable for her majesty''s visit.


    I decided to wear something formal but simple. It''s a good thing I managed to brought some of my clothes yesterday or else I might end up wearing the clothes I wore yesterday.


    I look at myself in the mirror and nods my head in satisfaction. I pick a pastel yellow dress with puff sleeves. It''s a simple dress but it highlighted my distinct features. My hair and my


    eyes.


    "You look like an angel but too bad your a devil in the inside," I mumble to myself while staring at reflection in the mirror.


    I heaves a sigh and left my room. I was about to walk inside the dining hall when I bumped into Leander.


    He stares at me for a couple of second before he gave me a wide smile. "Good morning, Dame Csille. I hope you sleep well."


    I stare at him with a frown. How can he sound so calm? As if I didn''t reject himst night? If I wasn''t there, I would have assumed that whatever happenedst night is just a dream.


    I just give him a small smile and continue walking to the dining hall.


    Forget it. No matter what his reason is, it doesn''t matter anymore. I already rejected him and he told me that he will respect my decision. So, I don''t think I need to worry about him.


    However, it seems like this guy has a different n than I expect from him. He walk beside me and try to ask me things that doesn''t make sense at all.


    "Dame Csille, I heard you like to take walk after breakfast. Are you nning to have your walk today? Maybe I could join you. The surroundings are full of trees and if you are not familiar with it, you might end up getting lost."


    I nce at him and walk inside the dining hall. My eyes wandered around the dining table. I noticed that Leander and I are the only one they are waiting.


    I was about to apologize and greet them but my words cut short because Leander speak suddenly.


    "Don''t worry Csille, I already walk around yesterday so you can be assured that we will not get lost if. So, I think it''s better if you let me join you. I''m just worried about you."


    I almost want to run away from here when I hear what Leander have said. When will this guy leaves me alone? Can''t he see that I already have a lot of problems right now. Why does he need to add on it?


    I take a nce at Leander who realizes just now that we are already in the dining hall and everybody heard what he said.


    However, instead of seeing him panic, he just smile at them and bows his head. "Apologies for making you all wait. I was tired yesterday that''s why I woke upte. I hope you understand." He then stares at Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus who is sitting far from each other. "Your highnesses, I apologize for making you wait."


    The two Princes nod their heads. While the others smile at him. General Abarral even gestures his hand to the vacant seat beside him. But instead of walking towards General Abarral, Leander turn his head at me.


    I look at him confusedly. What does this guy wants from me? Why is he staring at me like that?


    I avoid my eyes and bows my head at them. "Apologies, for beingte." I didn''t exin myself and walk towards Attorney Kirsa and Advisor Malllory. There is a vacant seat beside Attorney Kirsa. However that seat is two chairs away from Prince Fraser.


    I look at the vacant seat beside Attorney Kirsa and the vacant seat beside Leander.


    If I seat with Leander, I don''t think he would stop bothering me the whole breakfast. If I seat near Prince Fraser, it will be awkward to the two of us.


    I heaves a soft sigh and decided to set beside Attorney Kirsa. Who cares if the Prince Fraser and I will be awkward? I would rather be in the situation than to sit beside Leander. I am sure he would try to talk to me in front of everyone and I don''t want them to misunderstand things between Leander and I.


    I don''t think I can bear to be in another issue again.


    Attorney Kirsa smiles at me when I sit beside her. Even Advisor Mallory nods her head as a sign of acknowledging my presence.


    The table got silent after both Leander and I got settled. We just stares at each other for a whole minute. We couldn''t start eating yet because Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus haven''t


    start to eat yet.


    It is a custom in the Vrawyth Kingdom that if we are eating with the roties. We need to make sure that the first person who eat are the royalties.


    However, it seems like Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus doesn''t have any n to start the breakfast anytime now.


    The rest of us stares at each other. Hoping someone will have the guts to ask the two Princes if they could start the breakfast. However, no one bother saying anything. We just remain


    quiet and wait the two Princes.


    They are probably afraid to remind the two Princes because of their expressions. Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus both have a cold expressions in thier faces. So, I understand why no


    one wants to talk to them.


    What does these two Princes want? Theye here for what? To stop us from eating our


    breakfast?


    I heave a sigh and look at General Abarral and Colonel Randle but the two were busy talking


    to each others with the hand sign they are using in the army.


    If this continues, I am afraid we will end up sitting in the dining hall for hours.


    I heaves a sigh and stand up from my seat. All of them immediately look up at me, even the two Princes are staring at me too.


    I walk to thd push cart where the teapot and teacups can be found. Then I ask one of the maids to help me prepare the teapot because I am nning to brew tea for them.


    If the two Princes wouldn''t do anything to start the breakfast then I will take the matters


    into my hands.


    I takes a deep breath before I ask the maid to push the cart in front of the dining table. I decided to conduct a simple tea ceremony for them. I carefully starts the ceremony and in just a few minutes the tea is already ready.


    I nce at the table. "Does anyone of you want some tea?" The others turn their heads atn/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    the two Princes. So, I have no other choice but to turn my head at them too. "Your highnesses, Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus. Do you want some tea?" I gesture the two maids beside me to offer the empty teacups to the two Princes.


    Prince Fraser and Prince Rufus stares at each other for a couple of seconds before they both ept the teacups. I give them a small smile before I walk towards Prince Fraser and Prince


    Rufus and pour them tea.


    After seeing the two sips their tea, the rest of us heaves a sigh. Now that the two royalties have drink something, it means we can already start eating our breakfast.


    After asking the maids to continue pouring tea to the others, I return to my seat and eat my breakfast in peace.


    I would ce at Prince Fraser and Prince Rufys from time to time. They haven''t eat anything


    at all. They just sip their tea.


    As much as I want to ask them to eat their breakfast, I couldn''t do that. I already distance myself from them and I couldn''t break what I have started. So, I just busy myself eating my


    breakfast.


    It didn''t take time before I finished eating my fill. The silence in the dining hall is killing me and I couldn''t bear to stay there for another minute. So, I decided to excuse myself.


    I only managed to breathe properly after I get out of the dining hall. I was about to check my


    office when I bump into S.


    "Dame Csille? Have you already eaten your breakfast? Aren''t you fast?"


    How can I not? Those two Princes and Leander are already getting into my nerves. That is


    why I eat my breakfast as much as possible.


    I just smile at S. "Have you checked the office? Is there anything we still need to work


    on?"


    S nods her head. "Yes, Dame Csille. The shelves on your office got ruined after someone identally put his things on it. We need to buy a new shelves and furniture in the office."


    I nod my head. Her majesty will arrive an hour or two from now. Where will I find a shop that can sell me furniture at this time?


    It''s just the start of the day but I am already facing problems. Such a great way to start your


    day, Csille.


    "Should we return to the capital and buy some furniture? Do you think we will be able to return in time for hed majesty''s visit?"


    S shakes her head. "Dame Csille, i don''t think we can make it. Also, have you forgotten


    that if we will do something we need to ask permission from his highness, Prince Fraser. What


    if someone saw us while we were buying furniture? Wouldn''t that endanger the whole department?"


    She is right. His majesty told us not to do things on our own. That in our every move Prince


    Fraser should have a say on it.


    But how am I supposed to have a furniture? Should I talk to Prince Fraser?


    I was still contemting things when someone suddenly speak behind us.
