Chapter 373 Garden Party
Chapter 373 Garden Party
The maid was startled, and after chasing after him, she sincerely apologized to the man: "I'm sorry! Your Highness Fast, Miss Seaforth didn't mean it, are you okay?"
The man brushed off the non-existent dust on his clothes, glanced back and asked, "Is she the pearl of General Sifos's family?"
"Yes." The maid replied, lowering her head.
In this palace, besides His Majesty, the most honorable person is the prince in front of us.
Odu II's first wife gave birth to two children for him, the eldest daughter Sovia and the youngest son Fast. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with cancer and died just after her husband ascended the throne.
As a new father and with his wife deceased, Odu II was particularly concerned about his two children. Even after he had a new queen and children, he did not neglect them.
Fast remains the most popular candidate for the next throne.
"Was she also invited by Sophia?" asked Fast.
The maid was afraid of causing misunderstanding, so she quickly explained: "No, Miss Seaforth is your Majesty's guest."
After working in the palace for many years, I gradually understood things that I didn't understand before. Many things are not as simple as they seem. Behind every action of the royal family there is another purpose and meaning.
For example, this gathering, which was ostensibly organized by Princess Sofia, was actually for the prince in front of them.
He is 21 years old and is currently studying at university. He still has two years to graduate. The royal family has already started looking for a candidate for him as a princess.
His father got engaged at his age and married his first wife after graduation.
The wife of the heir to the throne is likely to become the next queen in the future. The choice of the mother of a country must be made with great care.
Family background, appearance, knowledge, and cultivation are all essential. Only when these are met can one be considered qualified to be a princess. The next step is to test one's character and personality.
If a woman with a vicious mind and violent temper is pushed to that position, what good will the empire have? What good can the child she gave birth to learn from following such a woman every day?
The collapse of the empire took only a hundred years.
Therefore, the royal family would let the female members come forward and organize such gatherings from time to time to observe and screen future princesses.
Although everyone can pretend, after a long time, there will always be a time to expose the truth, right? With so many eyes watching in secret, no matter how good she is at pretending, it is difficult for her to be on guard all the time.
The number of people at the party will gradually decrease, and when the time is almost right, the real protagonists will come in and interact with the ladies.
The nobles were well aware of this, but they kept silent. However, they were secretly trying their best to push their daughters to that position.
Today was such a "blind date", and Fast naturally thought that Xu Weiwei was here for him as well.
The maid's words reminded him of two things: first, this was the daughter of the Seaforth family, of a special status. Second, this lady was favored by His Majesty and was to meet him alone.
Both messages told him that no matter what, this person should not be taken lightly.
Fast paused for a moment, and his displeasure instantly disappeared.
He originally thought that the girl had an ulterior motive to create this "chance encounter" in order to get in touch with him, but he didn't expect it to be an accident.
"Since he is a distinguished guest, please take good care of him. Don't be careless." Fast said.
"Yes, Your Highness." The maid bowed her head and admitted the false accusation.
As the man took a step forward, the maid immediately moved aside, leaning against the wall to make way for him. She waited until the sound of footsteps completely disappeared before she slowly stood up.
Another five minutes later, Xu Weiwei came out and said, "I'm fine, let's go."
Seeing that she looked carefree, as if she didn't care who she had just bumped into, the maid swallowed back the reply she had prepared.
I thought to myself: Miss Seaforth is so careless. Didn’t she recognize that that was Prince Fast?
In the Royal Garden, the girls were enjoying lunch. It was hot, so they stayed outside for only a short while before going inside.
Sophia arranged some popular games and entertainment activities for everyone to pass the time.
Some people were here for the first time and were still a little reserved, while others were able to chat with Sophia naturally, revealing intimacy in their words. This was even more evident in the seating arrangements at the table.
Sophia sat at one end of the rectangular dining table. The women on her left and right were chatting and laughing with her, while those who were farther away were silently eating the food in front of them and did not participate much in the conversation.
"Today's pan-fried lamb chops are delicious. Our chef's chef can't make it taste this good." The girl squinted her eyes, looking very cute as she was immersed in the food, and her compliments were very natural.
Sophia smiled and gave her another piece: "Eat more if you like."
The girl opposite sneered in her heart and thought with disdain: He has never seen the world, so what's so special about lamb chops?
"Oh my, I will get fat, what should I do, Your Highness?"
Ugh! You're so fat! Bitch, the prince is not here, who are you showing off to? If her mother hadn't warned her before she left, she would have been unable to bear it.
As if she had guessed her deskmate's displeasure, the girl smiled at her, making her even angrier.
Suddenly, the girl looked over and saw two figures coming towards her through the large glass window.
Aren't they the unruly master and servant at the door? At first she was confused, why didn't she see anyone after she came. But she just came now, could she have lost her way and kept groping until now?
This is so funny. The girl was secretly happy. Suddenly, she had an idea.
"Eh? Didn't that mean he bumped into me at the door?"
The girl's voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it. They looked up and followed her line of sight, quietly waiting for her next words.
"I don't know whose family it was, but maybe it was my first time here and I was too nervous, so I accidentally bumped into me. Luckily, my servant held me up so I didn't fall."
"I wanted to bring her along, but... she doesn't seem to like me very much. It's my fault too. I should have apologized first. There were so many people at the door. It's not all her fault."
"It must have been very hard for her to wander around the palace alone for such a long time in such a hot sun before she finally found her place." The girl frowned, looking worried and guilty.
"why is it like this……"
"That's just so rude."
"You deserve it... You shouldn't have to suffer this."
"How rude! You're running around the palace. You should have asked earlier if you couldn't find it. What if you end up in a place you shouldn't be?"
"Could it be that he did it on purpose..."
Listening to the discussions below, the girl wanted to laugh out loud right away.
"But I don't know this person and I didn't invite her." Sophia said strangely.
The girls were in an uproar.
"Oh my God! What is she doing..."
"How shameless! How did she get in here?"
"Where are the guards? Send someone to kick her out quickly."
Sophia raised her hand and soothed, "Don't worry, everyone." Then she turned to look at the only girl who had contact with Xu Weiwei.
"Biqi, since you saw her at the door, do you know her name?"
"I don't know." The girl shook her head.
"How dare I go up there and make myself hated by others?"
