Chapter 204: A Gift For You
"Princess, Your fiancé has sent a gift for you!" Lily came into the dining room almost jumping on her feet. Seeing her exuberant stride, no one would have believed that she could sneak into her room in the middle of the night.
Eleanor looked up from eating her cereal and raised her eyebrows in amusement. Lily was more excited than she was. "What is it?"
"I don’t know! It was the Prince’s assistant who brought this. He said the prince wants to take you out for another date and would like to thank you for last night. This is his token of gratitude."
Eleanora looked at the small, elongated box in Lily’s hand and almost dropped her spoon. The box in front of her was golden but when she looked up, she felt a sense of deja vu. In that, the box had been dark... a bookmark. There was a bookmark inside the box.
Lily quickly placed the box in front of Eleanor and then continued to stand there looking at her eagerly," Princess, please open it and see! I’ve never seen anyone receive a gift from a Prince. Please open it."

Eleanora picked up the diamonds and studied them carelessly agreeing with Lily," You are right. I am indeed lucky to have the Prince trying to woo me with such originality. He knows how to spend his family’s fortune."
Eleanora’s fortune slipped over Lily’s head as the girl agreed happily," I knew it! I knew when you went out with him, you would definitely change your opinion and forgive him! See, tell me princess, you do like Prince Augustus, don’t you? He is so dreamy..."
