Chapter 48: Alicia The Unfinished (2)
Rachel hadn't met the Fiancée Prince of hers for at least three months, which was fine with her but somewhat odd. After being lifted from punishment she was immediately sent to the infamous Queen's Training. Although ultimately in the end her teachers had nothing to teach her since she already excelled the standard.
When she finally did see him again, she was in the garden making her own tea without any maids around.
"Good Afternoon, Lady Mavis" said the young boy.
"…." Rachel glanced at him before ignoring him and siting down in her own chair drinking her tea.
"…." Prince Alexander felt wronged, why was his fiancée so uncouth towards him. It was like she viewed him as a commoner and not a prince. When he thought about their first meeting, he shuttered his father had made him accompany him on meetings. He was forced to endure meeting the wrenched and ugly nobles and then even having to smile polite even though they where full of greedy intensions.
His father took his fiancés word to heart, that his has the title of genius but no merit. After the three months of suffering he was forced to visit this woman who is now ignoring him.
He smiled the same way he did the other young girls that faltered him, in order to catch her attention. "Good Afternoon, Lady Mavis" he tried again but still got no response. He got annoyed and his smile started to crack.
"You-"
"Your attitude towards me, was written all over your face the moment you approached." Rachel finally said something while gazing into the garden but in actuality she was looking at her stats on the system screen and using her thoughts to move about. She sighed and pulled her hair back "Your still so incompetent" She berated him, waved the system screen away and picked up a book from the stool on her side.
Rachel sat back and leisurely began to read
"Incompetent, You-"
"You still didn't do anything after I insulted you the last time we met. No Merit at all, since all you did was follow his majesty around. No wonder he sent you to me, he probably thinks I can get you to achieved something."
"…." The young Prince frowned in confusion.
"Ugh" Rachel rolled her eyes annoyed "That fact that you still don't understand, really, it's hard to believe you are to be the ruler in the future." She gave him a disgusted look.
When you think about it the Crown Prince is around Ten years old, it's too much to expect a ten-year-old to understand the situation clearly. The King himself was basing his actions early on Rachel's own merit. A child genius that improved a whole province on her own. His Son cannot be shown to be lacking in talent compared to his fiancée, this is a matter of pride and not anything else. Or perhaps the King is afraid of how dangourus she'll be in the future.
Rachel stared off into space in wonder, she found it sad but her 'family' is going to have to be taken care of somehow. The prime minister family is already betraying the country by selling secrets, although there is no physical evidence of that yet. She had never killed anyone before and is uncomfortable with causing deaths. Even though everyone in the Prime minister's family are scums.
Her mind has been plagued with questions of How, what, why, where, when, and if. Looping around with no progress. She wanted to avoid death but that seem impossible without her fall in the end. She cannot be a commoner when Wendy arrives in this world. She has some forces in the Fair Province, they are even willing to sacrifice their lives for her if she even gave the word.
"Hey!" the young Prince yelled in her ear, bringing her attention back to him. 'What is with this girl?' the young prince thought. 'Why does she keep doing this?'
Reading his facial expression Rachel rolled her eyes and turned back to her book. Prince Alexander's face was already red with anger, he felt like doing a seriously childish things like snatching her book and ripping it to pieces. Just so she would listen to him.
"Childish" Rachel muttered
"Fine then" Prince Alexander huffed before turning around and leaving. From their she will not see this idiot for a year.
Rachel began to become more and more relaxed within this year, the Prime Ministers family has in some trouble lately. Much to the curtesy of Rachel herself, her father and brother are in much of a panic at trying to address the situation. Her mother who doesn't really understand the situation can only keep quiet.
The trouble, well, evidence of someone selling country secrets was brought up to the King. And now he suspects the family. Her father, the prime minister was panicking, his secret letter had ended up in the King's hand. He must have counted his luck because it didn't implicate him. But now he has been trying to find the spy who gave the letter to the King and try to dodge the King's suspicion.
It doesn't seem like her brother knows that his father is the spy. It looks like he just frightened that the family is being implicated like this. No doubt, he doesn't want to lose his status as a noble.
In her room Rachel was sewing together with her some cloth, she was making a dress the design sits on a table close to her.
As she pears out the window and smiles, her mother's a lover and it was the young handsome gardener not too far away, they head into a storage room not far from the estate by at the edge of the garden where it is just barely visible. She has been watching closely of the times they would meet for a romantic setting.
