Chapter 241: The Princess Who Cannot Be Named
Talia knew Lambert’s invitation is not an invitation since he said he received a call from their great grandmother. He is not someone who’d come visit her early in the morning for no reason and would want a company for his engagements.
Her assistant stood in front of her with his bright eyes as she got out of her room after getting ready.
"If you think this is the place for you, I’ll serve you here," he said in a pretty emotional way. His eyes were glistening with adoration and he couldn’t stop grinning. Talia just nodded and agreed.
What a cute and weird boy!
Talia wearing a red coat dress, got to the hall where the meeting was arranged. Lambert arrived just then too.
Entering the big hall, Talia was surprised the ’lads’ Lambert talked about were all around her grandpa’s age. They were all the veterans served in the war around her mother’s birth and most of them were very old.
Sir Ronaldino Russo was one particular grandpa who caught Talia’s eyes. He was more than eighty years old and had served the country for decades before retiring. His grandson who was with him, explained to Talia how he was suffering from Alzheimer and he doesn’t have longer to live. It was his last wish to attend this reunion before he passed away and so they brought him there. He was one of the very well respected generals of Rosandale, who was Knighted by King George himself and he was of higher status than other Knights because of his very prominent military career.
Although his grandson said he was lucid till then, the moment Talia greeted him, he got emotional and started addressing Talia as Princess Lillian. He thought he was in his twenties and that he was meeting the Princess in one of the official meetings.
Talia couldn’t help but blush as that old grandpa started to flirt with her. This old Knight had a very good skill of courting women.
He might have been very famous with women in his prime, Talia thought.
His grandson looked very troubled as his grandfather mentioned the taboo name in the Palace and also addressing Princess Talia by the wrong name and flirting with her brazenly.
