Chapter 62 - A Day To Rest

"Emelia? Hey," Called Elliot, but Emelia was busy thinking something else. He snapped his fingers in front of Emelia, finally moving to his call. "What's wrong?" Emelia asked, looking at him.

"I was inviting you for breakfast. Do you wish not to?" Elliot asked Emelia, removing the coat, and gave it back to him. She answered, "I didn't reject it." A thin line formed a smile on Elliot as he wore his coat, looking presentable.​​

Once reached the dining hall, and Elliot thought they were going to be alone. When the servant opened the doors, they saw Lady Malith and Chief Malzan eating, who then stopped to greet Elliot. Lady Malith specifically looked pleased to see Elliot, but when she saw Emelia behind him, she shot a glare at her.

"Greetings to The Imperial Majesty, are you here to eat breakfast?" Lady Malith bowed as she waited for an answer from Elliot.

"I'm not the only one here. Aren't you supposed to greet a guest?" His low tone scared her, trembling as she slightly raised her head to see his displeased face. She lowered her head back down as she greeted Emelia in an unfriendly tone,

"I greet the Princess," She muttered the last word. However, Elliot didn't feel satisfied because of another person. He tilted his head as he watches Chief Malzan leisurely eating his breakfast. When Lady Malith came to realize her father's rude action, she was too late.

"I see a pig eating on my table," Elliot called as he crossed his arms together. "How about we cook the pig first and eat it for dinner?" Emelia smiled, turning his head as he looks at Emelia to play along.

"Your Imperial Majesty, wouldn't it better if we keep feeding the pig. As they say, it would taste more delicious?" Emelia smiled as she looked at Lady Malith, who kept her head low.

It was clear Elliot and Emelia didn't like the father and daughter. They were too similar to the point Elliot wanted to get rid of them. But because he had greater plans for Chief Malzan, he held himself back.

Elliot slapped his hand, "As expected of Princess Emelia. I never thought of that." The other servants who heard their conversation held their laughter in. If they would take a closer look at Chief Malzan, he looked like a pig. While the daughter, Lady Malith, raised her head, glaring at them.

"Oh? Who said you can raise your head? I never allowed you," Said Elliot to Lady Malith, who bowed her head first before lowering her body. To add oil into the fire, Emelia added, "If I'm not mistaken. You should lower your body before lowering your head. Even a commoner knows much."

Lady Malith bit her lip as she clenches onto her dress tightly. To add more, Emelia said, "Do you usually hold onto your dress that tight? Your dress might crease."

"Thank you for being worried about me. But It's alright. I like it that way," Lady Malith trembled, feeling a burning sensation on her back. "Raise your head and tell your father he's banned from eating in the dining hall. He doesn't even care that we're here. I didn't acknowledge his presence," Elliot turned his back, and Emelia followed to receive another glare from Lady Malith.

Elliot stretched his arms in front of him, feeling refreshed after mocking the two. To be honest, they were starting to become an eyesore. Just because they formed an alliance and the daughter was given to him didn't mean he would marry her. But soon, that alliance will be broken because Chief Malzan had betrayed him.

"Bring our meal to my room," Elliot ordered a servant who nodded his head who excused himself first to inform the others. Emelia stopped walking and asked, "Should I take my meal in my room?" Elliot grabbed her arm and walked to his chambers, saying, "No, eat with me. I don't want to waste my time eating alone."

Once they've arrived in his chambers, the food was prepared. They took their seats, and in unison, they both sighed out loud. They looked at each other then laughed. "It feels so refreshing. Releasing the anger out," Elliot said as he signaled Emelia to start eating.

"The past two days were quite hectic after all," Emelia agreed as she uses her hands to rip the bread into smaller pieces for her to eat. After swallowing the bread, she continued, "I'm sure Lady Malith won't let go of me."

"That woman won't touch you. I'll make sure of it," Elliot assured Emelia as she continues eating her food. Though usually, anyone would feel embarrassed, hearing his words.

"Rest as long as you want. We're going to have a tiring day starting tomorrow," Elliot reminded Emelia, who stopped moving her hands. She had almost forgotten about it.

Since they found the exact location of the original crown, they needed to retrieve it as soon as possible. Things will turn wrong if Henry finds it first though they think he won't be able to find it.

Not a single clue was told about the original crown. It will be a crime if a royal family member tells others about it.

Emelia decides to take on this challenge as she didn't want the war to keep going on. The earlier she obtains the crown, the earlier things would settle down, and she hopes luck is by their side.
