CHAPTER 107

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":66,"w":677,"h":120,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":326}">Gabby was sitting in front of the dressing table in her room, her eyes never leaving the figure reflected in the mirror. She saw a change in herself that was so significant than before. The figure of herself that was not ideal to be called a noble girl now really has the appearance of an angel.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":204,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":464}">During four years living in the palace of the dead, Gabby has learned a lot. Starting from taking care of herself as a girl to being able to get the broad insight she got from the books available in the palace of the forest of death.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":312,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":572}">Gabby continued to look at her face reflected in the mirror, and she didn't feel that tears were currently streaming down her cheeks.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":390,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":650}">"Miss, what happened? Why are you crying?" Shushu, who had been combing Gabby's hair, became sad to see Gabby crying silently. She didn't know why her lord was crying.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":498,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":758}">"Ah, it's okay, Shushu. I miss my mother." Gabby wiped the tears that rolled down her cheeks. She missed her mother very much when she saw her face, which was so similar to her mother if she looked closely.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":606,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":866}">Even though Gabby has absolute power, she can summon other beings from different dimensions, can resurrect Essences that have died, and can move to a place called the Goddess realm. But she couldn't meet her dead mother at all.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":714,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":974}">If only she were selfish, she wanted to revive her dead mother, but Liliana forbade that because there would be side effects if Gabby did that.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":792,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1052}">"You mustn't get too wrapped up in grief, Miss. I believe that your mother is at peace in that realm."

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":870,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1130}">Gabby chuckled at Shushu's words; it was true what she said that her mother must have calmed down there. It's just that Gabby found it funny if it had to come from a Demon Goddess who came from another realm.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":978,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1238}">"Alright my sweet miss, we are ready to go to the strange King's wedding." Shushu said excitedly.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1056,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1316}">"Shushu, it can't be like that." Gabby interrupted Shushu softly. She knew Shushu was the person who disliked Gustav the most because of Gabby's past. Shushu pursed her lips at Gabby's warning.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1164,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1424}">"Miss, there is someone who wants to meet." Scarla entered the room. She stood next to Gabby.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1242,"w":677,"h":30,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1502}">"Who?" Gabby asked turning to Scarla.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1290,"w":677,"h":30,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1550}">Scarla shook her head. "I don't know, Miss. But…" Scarla turned to Shushu.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1338,"w":677,"h":30,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1598}">"Why?" Shushu asked.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1386,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1646}">"He's very familiar. But I don't know where I met him," Scarla recalled the man who wanted to meet Gabby. "If you see him you will probably feel familiar with him too." Connect Scarla.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1494,"w":677,"h":30,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1754}">"We'd better meet up first." Gabby said. Shushu and Scarla nodded in agreement.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1542,"w":677,"h":30,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1802}">The three of them headed to the living room, where a man was waiting for them.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1590,"w":677,"h":30,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1850}">"Sincerely, Your Majesty." The man bowed in front of Gabby.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1638,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1898}">"Reinhard!" Gabby was surprised to see Reinhard waiting for her. Reinhard looked very charming in Gabby's eyes right now.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1716,"w":677,"h":30,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":1976}">"Reinhard?" Parrot Scarla and Shushu together. They looked at each other.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1764,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":2024}">"Good evening Grand Duchess Shushu, Grand Duchess Scarla." Greet Reinhard friendly. Scarla returned Reinhard's greeting by nodding and smiling. It was different with Shushu, who scrutinized Reinhard from head to toe.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":1872,"w":677,"h":120,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":2132}">Shushu narrowed her eyes, and she watched Reinhard closely. It was true what Scarla said, and the man was very familiar to her. She knew Reinhard had been to Gabby's birthday party, but what she meant by Familiar was that Reinhard's aura was very familiar to Shushu, but she didn't know who this man was.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":2010,"w":677,"h":120,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":2270}">"Shushu, Scarla. Reinhardt came to pick me up, and we will attend King Gustav's wedding together." Gabby said, reassuring her two ladies. Shushu was silent for a moment. Indeed she did not feel any malicious intent from the man. It's just that she still doesn't accept Gabby if she has to be side by side with random men.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":2148,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":2408}">"Okay, Miss. But I will also accompany you." Shushu showed her firm attitude as a lady-in-waiting who wanted to protect her lord. Gabby was in a dilemma with Shushu's request. On the other hand, she wanted to get to know Reinhard better.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":2256,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":2516}">"Of course, the Grand Duchess, a lady-in-waiting, must be beside her lord." Reinhard showed his friendly smile. In Reinhardt's mind, he smiled when he saw Shushu's vigilance. At least it proves that his idol girl will always be safe beside the two ladies.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":2364,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":2624}">"Okay." Gabby understood Shushu's intentions side by side with her. She was grateful in her heart that Shushu protected her from any threat.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":2442,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":2702}">"Where's Lily?" Gabby asked Scarla. Before Scarla had time to answer, the person in question appeared.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":2520,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":2780}">"I'm here, miss." Lily is ready. She approached Gabby, who was in the living room with a man who had come to Gabby's birthday party. Lili also felt wary of Reinhard, even though the man was handsome, but that didn't take away from her vigilance.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":2628,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":2888}">"Alright, let's go." concluded Reinhard being very polite in front of Gabby's ladies-in-waiting. Reinhard remembered Ril's suggestion that he should also be able to take the trust of those who were by Gabby's side if he wanted to get to know her better.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":2736,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":2996}">When they were in front of the Palace, the palace maids had already lined up to await the departure of their highest lord. Alicia and Lucia also marched along with Baba.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":2814,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":3074}">"Baba, I will be with Master Reinhard, shall I?" Gabby asked because Baba was like an older brother to Gabby.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":2892,"w":677,"h":120,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":3152}">Baba glanced at Reinhard briefly. With just one glance, Baba already knew what Reinhard meant. Reinhard only concluded with a faint smile. This man in front of him is not random; he must not do things that can damage his relationship with his idol girl if he disagrees with this man.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":3030,"w":677,"h":30,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":3290}">"Sure, miss." Baba replied.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":3078,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":3338}">A horse carriage with the coat of arms of the Queenby Empire came not long after. A man who was none other than Emilio.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":3156,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":3416}">"Master Reinhard!" Emilio exclaimed. He seemed excited to see Reinhardt in the palace.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":3234,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":3494}">"Good evening Mr. Emilio." Reinhard greeted warmly. Emilio was surprised that Reinhardt was so warm tonight, even though Emilio saw that Reinhard was very stern and cold at that time.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":3342,"w":677,"h":30,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":3602}">"You two know each other?" Gabby asked, looking at Emilio and Reinhard in turn.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":3390,"w":677,"h":90,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":3650}">"That's right, Your Majesty. Lord Reinhard helped me while on the Khaaslyvia continent." Emilio didn't realize that his current tone was praising Reinhard in front of Gabby. Reinhard smiled faintly at Emilio, who had almost the same nature as Ril.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":3498,"w":677,"h":120,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":3758}">Gabby turned to Reinhard. She stared intently at Reinhard, her hand on her neck adorned with the Reinhardt Gift necklace. Is it possible that she obtained this necklace while Reinhard was on the continent of Khaaslyvia? Just the thought of it made Gabby blush.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":3636,"w":677,"h":60,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":3896}">"You're not coming?" Shushu asked Alicia and Lucia. They shook their heads together. "Let us guard the Palace." Alicia replied politely.

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":3714,"w":677,"h":30,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":3974}">"Okay."

<p bis_size="{"x":68,"y":3762,"w":677,"h":150,"abs_x":476,"abs_y":4022}">They finally set off in their respective horse-drawn carriages. Gabby and her three maids boarded Reinhard's luxury carriage, while Emilio and Baba boarded the Royal carriage. Despite being in the same carriage, Gabby and Reinhard just kept silent. They didn't know what topic to talk about during the trip, plus three ladies-in-waiting Gabby made the atmosphere even more awkward to speak between them.
