Chapter 200: Meeting A Fiance
Eleanora stared at herself in the mirror one last time as she walked out to wait for the arrival of her so-called ’fiance’- Augustus. What kind of a name was that? Who named their child after a month of the year. She knew that the founder of the Roman empire was named Augustus but could they be any more pretentious?
"Princess Eleanora, you should not make that face. It is unbecoming of you."
Eleanora blinked at the quiet reprimand from the queen’s personal maid and cocked her head with a challenging smirk as she retorted," Unbecoming you say? And it is quite becoming to be forced to marry a human calendar, is it? And just for future reference, I’ll make any face I please."
The maid’s eyes widened, clearly taken aback by Eleanora’s sharp retort. No wonder the queen was always fuming when she returned after meeting this young princess. The girl was too uncouth and blunt. Her poor queen. Unaware of the thoughts going around in the maid’s head, Nora glanced at the large clock in the foyer.
Another minute and it would be 7.05 pm. And then she would definitely walk out of here on the grounds that the calendar man had ditched her.
Unfortunately for her, Lily soon came running out of the kitchen with wide eyes and announced," Prince Augustus is here. He is here."
Eleanora grimaced and stood up to look outside at this paragon of virtue who was probably her husband. The man had already been escorted inside but looking at his flashy sports car, she could not help but be dismayed. She hated people who showed off. Maybe she should surrender and hand over the calendar to Evangeline.
However, she did not leave this chance to mock the maid," It seems you might have to sit on the roof of the car if you want to chaperone us..."
Just then, a man dressed in royal blue entered and announced formally," His Highness Prince Augustus Octavius Thurinus Tiberius is arriving."
