Chapter 52: Gratitude and Sincerity
The announcement was done in a few minutes so Arabella headed to the hall where her newly picked assistants were guided to.
Alwin was still with her along with Rendell since they were wary of possible attackers.
Alwin was serious about protecting her this time since he didn’t want to be sent back to Estrella again.
He was still wearing his cloak though and hiding his face. She surmised it was because he was too beautiful. If he showed his face, everyone in the palace would be charmed. It might cause a lot of other problems.
Arabella wasn’t eager to make problems for herself so she just let Alwin hide his face.
It would be a problem if rumors spread about Alwin’s beauty all over Riva and noble ladies visit the palace or magic tower every single day just to see him. It would cause quite the commotion.
She might have to entertain some of the ladies as well if they were from the more powerful families. They might make visiting her a reason to see Alwin. It would delay much of her work if she had to have tea with ladies every single day.
Her socializing work was scheduled for later. She doesn’t have time for it right now.
For now, she had to focus on her assistants. Her cute assistants. They instantly rose upon hearing the announcement of her arrival. They became stiff and nervous.
Ronald was the only one who managed to frown when he saw his older brother Raymond enter with her.
[Why is elder brother here too? Does he enjoy looking down on me so much? How many times does he want me to bow to him today?]
