70 A prospect bride

"You have grown to be a proper lady." Grandpa complimented me and smiled.

"Thank you grandpa." I smiled.

"Looks like my mother and sisters are not happy with your performance." Richard whispered. I just gave him a knowing smile as a reply.

"This is just the beginning." I said with a smile.

"I have gathered you all here today because of a matter regarding the crown prince of Grandcrest, prince Regaleon." Father said.

My step sisters all have a confused expression. I am also curious of what father is about to say.

"A letter has come from Grandcrest about a proposal of marriage from the crown prince for one of the princesses of Alvannia." Father continued. "The letter states that he would come here to visit for a week in Veronica's debut ball, so I also invited him to attend."

"King father, did he say who he would take as his bride?" Veronica asked with twinkling eyes.
