: The Price of Being a Royalty

 "Your highness, may I know the reason why we are here? Are you meeting some nobles? Should I order dishes for—"

 My eyes widen when I recognize the owner of the voice. It's Princess Paislee! And she is with Prince Fraser.

 Although the rooms have enough distance from each other, we can still hear their conversation because their voices are quite loud. Not the shout kind of voice. It was just that these two were used to speaking loudly, and they probably didn't control their voices because they thought there was no one around.

 I look at Rufus and see him listening intently to the conversation between Prince Fraser and Princess Paislee. 

 So, the reason why Rufus invited me for dinner is because of this? And here I thought something terrible had happened. 

 I heave a sigh. I want to be mad at him for involving me in this, but I know Rufus only needs someone who can support him. So, how can I be mad?
