Chapter 15 Disclosure and mystery What's to be done? What to do if he is not a baby? I forgot how to talk out of fear. And Villian had already raised my pendant and spun it in his hands. - What a subtle spell," he said, either approving or judgmental. - Even I couldn't figure out what was going on here. That was cleverly done, Your Highness. - Look, Lord Willian... - Shh, shh, shh, shh. Villian grabbed my elbow, easily opened my secret closet, as if he always knew about it, and pushed me inside...

Chapter 14 (continued) There are no face masks to see Finally, the hour has come. At least I thought so, and I came out of the closet. I corrected the mask that was hiding my face well and hurried to the sounds of music. The masquerade had already begun. Couples were spinning in the bewitching sounds of music. I wonder if Lord Laherney's lunch was poisoned? Judging by the fact that there were many dancers, most survived. I looked for Ari's eyes, and I couldn't find them. I wish I could recognize one of the lords! I decided to look for the proudest posture and a lot of ladies around...

Chapter 14 There are no face masks to see Elisa Did this crazy day come to an end? I couldn't feel my legs. I wanted to fall on the bed and fall asleep, except I couldn't afford it. Over and over again, I scrolled through the morning's events. If it weren't for Reniard, I wouldn't have done it. Alas, it turned out that I wasn't ready for the preparation of something big at all! But Wren was ready and coping so that it was only surprising. Wren... Why am I thinking about him again? Whatever I was distracted by, my thoughts returned to Reniard over and over again...

Chapter 13 (continued) In a whirlwind of masks - Good morning, sir. Good morning, sir. What happened? - I asked. - What happened?! - A lady of immense size screamed - the head of the first family, apparently. - Nothing special. We're just not on your stupid lists. - Do you know who we are?" her husband repeated, dry as a mushroom. - I am Lord Lucius Brutus. His Majesty's father and I were still fighting under the same sword. - And what is your name? - I asked the other couple how much younger they were and how much quieter they were...

Chapter 13 In a whirlwind of masks Reniard I shouldn't have come here. This thought has been on my mind for a couple of days now. I shouldn't have - and that's it. Fool! To whom and what did I want to prove? Lord? They don't care about any evidence. To yourself? Too stupid, because I myself was confused by my own desires. I wanted to leave, go to Ayordan immediately, and stay. The only thing that saved me from the shameful escape was pride. I told myself over and over again that I wouldn't give the lords such happiness to see me down...

Chapter 12 (continued) Is it easy being a manager And the job was boiling up. Well, I had one idea. I chose golden tones to decorate the rooms. They are very sunny, warm. The guests will love it. So the flowers, the big floor vases, my father had them somewhere, the curtains... I was so carried away that I wrote four sheets of paper that Ren suggested. He also wrote something, biting the tip of the pen. We were lucky to be friends with him! I couldn't have done it myself. - It was done. - I held out my notes to Rena...

Chapter 12 Is it easy being a manager I looked into Yarden's back and realized that Arietta would have to deal with herself today. On the one hand, it was a shame - there was another blow in the head to the lords' marriage plans. On the other hand, I still have time to show myself in all my glory, if they remain in the selection. But the task my father set is not easy. For example, I had no idea how to prepare rooms for guests. And I doubt that the knowledge of any of the lords was deeper than mine...

Chapter 11 (continued) The mission is not for the proud I slipped out of the library and rushed to my room. I guess my absence from lunch raised a lot of questions for the lords. But I don't care about the lords! But at the room Reniard stopped for a while, and then, surprised herself, knocked. - Come in," the answer was given. - Good evening. - I crossed the threshold, even though everything inside was stuck in embarrassment. Wren was sitting at the table and writing something, but when he saw me, he put down the pen...

Chapter 11 The mission is not for the proud Should I mention that I was waiting for Listias in a disgusting mood? Yes, the walk was a success, but the feeling of general injustice of the selection only intensified. Why do all these Laernie, Daniars and others believe they have the right to control the fate of Aldon? Not to mention my own. It became so dreary that even the initial plan, prepared for Listias, has changed. By my order, the Lord was escorted into the musical living room. Every princess has to be able to play musical instruments...

Chapter 10 (continued) Without going over the personalities I was talking nonsense for another quarter of an hour. Kerian was blushing and pale, and I was proud of myself. Let him think again about whether he needs a marriage with a princess. And then I will really send berries to collect. But Lanie is still half the battle. Dinner with Lord Liverani seemed much scarier. This no mushrooms will not scare, and even a vow of eternal fidelity will not hesitate, and then bury his wife, cry - and forget that such was...

Chapter 10 Without going over the personalities My heart was beating desperately, my hands were wet with excitement, but I still went to the library right after breakfast. Nothing, the library is not the most popular place in the castle. There they more often date than taking books. No, they do, of course, but the likelihood of encountering someone, especially on selection days, is minimal. She pushed the door and found herself in the unshakable realm of books. Time has stood still here. I...

Chapter 9 (continued) Where do the searches lead I wish I knew which part of the maze to look in! We've been going over the plot by plot, and not a hint of plants! It was beginning to seem like a stupid idea. Maybe that's not what Ari meant when she sent me my ancestor's notes. Or did I misunderstand? So what do I do? I turned around the corner and recoiled. - Wren," I called quietly. - What? Airedan was just behind me. - What a curse! Yeah, I had a lot to shout about. There was a huge dog lying peacefully in front of us...
