Chapter 27 - Paradise

Yesterday my social image just hitted the rock bottom. Violet suddenly charged at me for some misunderstanding, the angelic female lead can also be scary.

But still I don't understand why would she feel so provoked at the name of slaves.

*SIGH*

"Sister what's wrong? Are you still thinking about yesterday event." Ash asked.

"Yes I am...." I said without any energy in my voice.

"It wasn't your mistake so don't think much about it, beside that Lady carot was the one who should have apologized to you for her rude behavior!" Ash said angrily.

"Ash it was all just a misunderstanding beside I should have taken more care about my words. So don't be angry at lady carot.okay." I said as I smiled towards me.

"Sister you are too Naive." Ash said as he sighed.

What! Are my ears working properly!

That little kid of yesterday is calling me Naive.

"Excuse me!" I said as I looked at him. But he didn't look at me or reply to my question.

This boy!!

"Welcome lady winter and Young Master Winter." The palace maid said.

"Lady Winter and Young Master Winter!!" The second prince said as he came jumping towards us. Followed by the crown prince.

"We greet the rising sun of the empire his highnesses the crown prince and second prince." Both Ash and I Said as we bowed towards them.

"I am thankful to lady winter for accepting my request." Crown Prince said as he bowed towards me.

"Then please follow us!" Second prince said happily.

They look in good mood I guess the preparation are going well.

We walked for 15 minutes until we reached the banquet hall, the palace is too big even thou I keep coming here. I am still not used to this much of walking.

"Here we are!!" Second prince said.

"Then Lady Winter after you." Crown Prince said.

I pushed opened the door and went inside, and the decoration were even better then my imagination.

It wasn't just a simple winter theme hall but it was more like a paradise.

"So Beautiful." I said as I looked around the hall.

"Do you like it?" Second prince asked as he stood infront of me and looked directly at my face.

"Yes I do!!" I said as I smiled happily, "Great!" Second prince said.

"We are glad to know that you like it, I am sure if lady winter likes it mother will like it too!" Crown Prince said as he smiled.

"I am sure she will! This is far more then perfect anyone's heart will melt after seeing this type of preparation." I said as I smiled towards the princes.

"We hope so." Both the princes said.

After watching all those Decorations we had some tea,

"Lady Winter I heard both you were attacked the day before yesterday?" Second prince asked.

"Yes we were. And thanks to that she got into another fight." Ash said as he ate one of the cookies.

"Ash it wasn't a fight!!! It was just a misunderstanding!" I said as I was flustered by his sudden words that too in front of the princes.

"Yeah Yeah sure whatever my naive sister." He said as he shrugged.

"Ashton Maven Winter talk to me like that one more time and I will show you what hell feels like!" I said as I glared towards him.

He didn't reply back but I can say he won't open his mouth again, hah sometimes he acts like a cute puppy and sometimes like a wild bull....this boy and his mood swings.

"Watching both of you fight like this the matter must be pretty big I guess." Second prince said as he looked at us.

"Huh that..." I didn't know what to say it's true Ash And I rarely have a disagreement and today we are fighting like kids. I wonder what made him this angry.

"I don't know if it will crossing the line or not but can lady winter tell us more about the accident and the misunderstanding." Crown prince said.

That's somehow unexpected but he is the crown prince, I can't disobey him.

"Lady Winter please don't be wary of us, actually the western side of our solar empire is facing problems beacuse of the black magicians and after hearing about the attack we wondered if it was from the black magicians." Second prince explained.

"Black magicians you say but as far as we know she was a slave." Ash said.

"A slave.....slaves are taught magic too...so it's quite complicated." Crown Prince said.

"Anyway please tell us in detail." The second prince said.

"Sure." I said as I explained them everything from the start of the incident and the misunderstanding between me and violet.

"Hmm, looks like things are really complicated." Crown Prince said.

"So she used an illusion to attack both of you, and beside the fact that she was a slave and her name Lucy. Nothing else is known." Second prince said.

"Yes it is so I tried to find more about her from the info I got, which is why I talked with lady Smith about it at the tea party but she herself wasn't quite sure this and furthermore I kind of provoked Lady carot." I said as I sighed.

"Seems like you are having hard time nowadays." Crown prince said as he patted my head.

He has done it so many times that I have got quite used to it now but I am still not used to this heart beat of mine. Why is so fast again.

"Yes I guess so." I said as I put my head down on the table. "Don't be sad everything shall pass." Second prince said as he tried to cheer me up.

I just smiled at them, Honestly I am afraid of the cristism I must face if things get more worse so I must do something to stop this mess.

"Finally I am back to my room!" I said as I lied down on my soft cozy bed. "Tomorrow it's her majesty birthday. I will have a busy day again but before that I must write a letter to Violet to clear her misunderstanding." I talked to myself.

All though I am still not quite sure as to why she acted like that but I am sure I must have hurted her somehow.

Maybe because she is the kind female lead, she empathize even with the slave who tried to hurt someone. Yeah it must be because she is kind hearted and naive.

It is the only logical explanation I could give myself since there is no way she would related to a slave...Right....

"Ugh!! What am I even thinking!! Just sleep tomorrow is going to be a long day.." I said to myself and went to sleep.
