"Haah…"
A tired sigh escaped Raguel's mouth as he burned the letter he was reading.
"So Duke Merula and Duke Vestalis were exchanging letters…
Grandfather, I know you are right, this is a serious problem and I have to come and meet you, however…
I really cannot visit you right now as I…"
The First Prince sighed as he observed the letter turning into ash in front of him.
Once the letter was completely turned into ash, the First Prince waved his hand, a gust of wind was generated and all the ash disappeared.
The Prince then walked in front of a mirror and started fixing his hair and then fixed the coat he was wearing.
Looking at himself for the last time, Raguel nodded to himself, and then, he walked out of his room.
"I have my own share of troubles to deal with…"
After another sigh escaped his mouth, a noble, charming smile appeared on his face and he walked towards the entrance of the Royal Hall where an old member would return after, many many years.
The prince stood amongst the crowd of people who were waiting for his Sister, the Second Princess and he did what others were doing.
Wait.
10 minutes later, an extremely beautiful woman with a gentle face walked in, her green eyes shined in delight, while the black gown she was wearing enhanced her beauty to a ridiculous degree.
The Woman was being followed by 2 butlers and 8 soldiers who stopped the moment the Woman entered the Hall, they were not allowed to go any further.
The woman continued to walk forward and soon, she was standing near the throne, where a black-haired man was seated with a smile on his face.
"Father, the King."
The Woman bowed elegantly.
Placing a silly smile on many men's faces.
She was indeed a beauty.
"I am glad that you finally decided to return to where you belong, Evane."
Ricardus, The King of Skyfall Kingdom spoke with a smile on his face.
"I am glad that I am back as well, Father."
Evane smiled.
The King's smile widened and he then picked up the Glass of wine that was served to him.
Raising that Glass in the air, he announced,
"The Second Princess, Evane Skyfall is finally back.
For the Second Princess's return."
"""For the Second Princess's return."""
The people inside the room raised their wine glasses as well and cheered.
The King then took the first sip, the others followed, and soon, the music started.
A few minutes later, the King left, and then, the real party started.
Evane picked up the Glass of Wine as well, and then, she took a deep breath.
'Everything starts now.'
And as if they read her mind, more and more people started walking towards her.
"Princess Evane, welcome back."
"I am glad to be back."
Evane smiled.
"Princess Evane, I missed your presence."
"Princess Evane, how was your stay in the Royal Academy, did you learn anything?"
"Princess Evane, did anyone bully you while you were there?"
"Yes, Princess Evane, if anyone did, you can tell me, and I will make sure to deal with that person."
Evane could feel it.
These stupid games had already started.
No one here meant what they say, no one here actually cared about her, they only cared about one thing.
Why is the Princess back? Is she planning to participate in the Battle Of Thrones? Is there any way they can benefit from this?
These were the only things they cared about.
Of course, Evane was already prepared for it. She knew this was how things worked here, therefore, she wasn't very affected by it.
She observed these people with a smile on her face and just nodded or answered their questions with one simple sentence.
However, she couldn't do this forever,
"Sister."
A Blonde, attractive man with brown eyes walked towards her and called out.
Seeing this man, a small smile appeared on Evane's face.
"Hello, Little Brother."
Yes, this man was Evane's little brother, the Third Prince, Lovis Skyfall. The renowned Genius of the Royal Family with a High-Level affinity with Earth Element.
"I am glad that you are here, Sister, things were getting rather boring without you here. You know, I wasn't facing any decent challenge."
Lovis glanced at Raguel and chuckled.
Evane's eyes momentarily fell on Raguel and she chuckled.
"You have grown well, Lovis. You seem much more confident than before."
Evane smiled.
"Well, things are going rather well for me. I can't help but be a bit confident."
Lovis smiled.
"I see, I see."
Evane's smile widened as she glanced at Raguel again.
Raguel, who was looking at Lovis and Evane from afar narrowed his eyes.
He had his doubts before, but now, he was sure.
Something was definitely going on between these two.
Duke Vestalis, the man supporting Evane, and Duke Merula, the man supporting Lovis, these two are talking to each other secretly, and now, Evane and Lovis, these two are acting all friendly with each other, he would be a fool to not realize it.
These two were definitely collaborating.
Amaya was right, Duke Vestalis would soon support the Third Prince, and once that happens, the King will be forced to choose the Third Prince and he would be left behind.
However, Raguel still didn't know why Duke Vestalis would do something like this.
Just what does he stand to gain from this?
Money?
Would a Duke do all of this for money?
He wasn't sure.
"Sister."
Suddenly, another man called Evane out.
"Ah, Forth Brother, how are you?"
Evane questioned with a smile on her face.
"I am fine, how about you? How are you?"
The Forth Prince smiled.
The Forth Prince, Lucas Skyfall, had green-colored hairs, and an above-average face, he was only 3 years younger than the Third Prince, however, he was still a Master Stage Cultivator.
In reality, he stood no chance of winning this Battle of Throne, however, since he had a Duke supporting him, he was still fighting this battle.
His Green eyes had a tinge of red on the edges and they looked heavy, it was as if he was tired and would fall asleep any moment.
"I am fin-"
Evane wanted to answer, however, suddenly, she stopped and narrowed her eyes.
