Chapter 21: Titled Princess
Food was served after those needless formalities and Felixa was glad she finally got to have her fill. Although she can eat only a little, she needs to train her stomach to handle food other than raw carrots.
"Have some more bread," Maximus passed her another slice of bread and she accepted it with a smile.
She didn’t fail to notice that out of everyone sitting at the table, only her father was lacking a plate and food. And she did not feel sorry for him. She still has the memories of Wispy getting kicked off the table even if she begged for food.
Her father did nothing to stop his wife! And now, why should she?
Lord Brayon who was another guest at the table, grumbled in his heart seeing the way Lady Felixa is treated as opposed to Princess Matilda. That beautiful woman faced death at the hands of this warlord while this one...
He wondered what was so special about this woman that makes the Brute pamper her. She looked pale and sickly. Her hands and fingers looked so scrawny and she had covered everywhere else. Her only redeeming quality was... nothing! He could see nothing, unlike Princess Matilda.
He was asked to be an ambassador of His Majesty, no, he is not the King of Deberia anymore. How should he be addressed now?
Lord Horatio? Lord of where? So, is he just Horatio?
Before he knew it, Lord Brayon has stared at Lady Felixa for a long. For some reason Duke Zemfir kept her away from the eyes of everyone. No one has seen her and she could capture the Brute’s heart easily.
What secret does she hold?
Maybe she felt his stare, she met eyes with him. Looking at her eyes, he felt a strong emotion rising in the pit of his stomach that slowed down the flow of his blood.
Those blue eyes... They are prepossessing.
