Chapter 86: Show
Aldric was still standing in front of the table, wondering what Princess Charlotte really wanted.
He was beginning to have strange thoughts, but he thought that even if it was like that, the princess would not be so direct like this.
He thought there was another reason that he didn't know.
He looked at the maids who began to clear the table briefly.
After that, he finally stepped into the living room.
The princess was waiting beside the sofa. As he got closer to her, she invited him to sit on the sofa facing each other while she sat on one of them.
He sat down after her, looking at her with an uncertain expression.
Compared to Anna, the pressure of being in front of her was much greater.
Even Ramsey was still one level below her.
In front of her, he found it hard to speak first. He could only wait for her.
However, she didn't speak right away either.
She seemed to be waiting for the maids to leave first.
After they finished clearing the dining table, they came over to her, waiting for her instructions, and she signaled for them to leave.
They naturally had to leave, occasionally glancing back with questioning expressions.
Once they descended the stairs, the princess crossed her legs.
After that, she opened the drawer of the desk separating the sofa, taking something out.
It was an electronic cigarette shaped exactly like a normal cigarette except that it was made of metal.
After taking it out, the princess placed it on her lips.
She smoked it until smoke or rather vapor came out of her mouth, exuding the scent of mango.
Since arriving in London, Aldric was used to seeing women using electronic cigarettes, especially on campus, there were too many of them, especially from the elite no matter if they were bad girls or educated women with good personalities.
Like Jenny didn't use it probably because she needed to take care of her throat so that she wouldn't have any problems when she sang.
It was just that, Princess Charlotte, Aldric's eyes flickered seeing this.
It was one thing that she was using it, but she was actually showing it to an outsider.
After exhaling the vapor of the electronic cigarette from her mouth, she looked more relaxed.
Seeing Aldric's expression, she smiled slightly.
"This was bought by Jenny for me. I was very curious, so I forced her to buy it for me. It's true what they say, it relaxes the mind," said the princess.
"Jenny?"
Aldric no longer cared that she was smoking. He was very surprised to hear her mention Jenny's name.
Which Jenny? Was it the Jenny he knew?
"Isn't this interesting? I invited you to lunch and you turned it down, but tonight, you're having dinner with me instead."
Aldric's eyes fluttered, unable to believe what he was hearing.
"Your Highness, you?" He finally spoke to her.
Who had just invited him to lunch?
Of course, it was Snow_Goose.
"I'm Snow_Goose. It's not really a secret, at least the small circle of elites know that, but because I don't want to be in the spotlight too much, so I choose to hide my identity from the public," the princess said.
She confirmed it instantly, for a moment, Aldric's breathing quickened.
No wonder there was special treatment from her to him and she had been observing him since he arrived.
"Honestly, I don't understand how you suddenly appeared and became a freight worker? Are you short of money? But haven't you received a lot of money from me? Or do you have a problem that you need a lot of money? If it's like that, I might be able to give you an early payment for your help later."
Aldric, "..."
He was not sure how to answer her words.
This was because he appreciated Rose, and since this work was done in the palace, he became very interested.
After a few moments of silence, Aldric finally explained everything to this princess.
She held her chin with one hand at that while her other hand put her electronic cigarette back in her mouth. She took another drag.
"I suppose your life is quite unique," she said with a quiet laugh while Aldric smiled wryly.
Manual labor is often underestimated, but when he does it, this princess calls it unique.
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Your Highness, why are you telling me your identity?" asked Aldric.
He was curious so he couldn't keep quiet.
"In any case, we will be working together and I think we will become partners with each other. If I were to keep my identity a secret from you, it would seem disrespectful. I'm sure we will continue to cooperate in the future. In the Eldorn Region, we may already be ranked at the top, but our real opponents are the people and players from other regions.
For example, the players from England alone are divided into five regions and we will compete with them when the time comes, but this game is accessed by all countries on earth, so our rivals are really too many." The princess explained at length to answer Aldric's curiosity.
At this point, Aldric felt more and more strange about this game.
Even a princess, attached so much importance to a companion in the game that she was so kind and open with him in the real world.
Aldric became very curious about what exactly this game was keeping secret.
When he was thinking, the sound of footsteps suddenly echoed from the stairs and this made the princess roll her eyes with a frown.
She seemed to be upset.
It turned out that a princess could also be annoyed, making people who had only seen her on social media where she always appeared graceful and gentle and thought she had a very mature demeanor feel strange.
"This old man is really annoying," she said in a tone that sounded annoyed while putting her e-cigarette back into the desk drawer.
Aldric rolled his eyes at that.
'Well, I guess as a human, she also has her own personality,' he thought.
