Dora was overjoyed that she had achieved her goal.
She had been one of the competitors back then. If not for these two, she would have been Lovell's guardian.
At that time, she and her husband needed a sum of money to tide them over, but someone else had stolen it. They had no choice but to sell their assets and start all over again.
However, the hatred in her heart didn't lessen at all. She had wanted to teach them a lesson for a long time now.
"What? That's not Lovell?"
"Then who is she?"
"They're so bold. They actually dared to go against us."
"Ha … Could it be that they've gone crazy from wanting to become a phoenix?"
"I think so too. They're not real nobles after all. They don't know the rules at all."
Everyone's mocking words drifted into their ears. Leon and Rui 'er's expressions changed drastically, but they still managed to keep their composure.
However, Silo, who had never seen such a scene, couldn't help but tremble. Her palms were covered in cold sweat.
How could this be? Didn't they like her a lot?
Why didn't they help her?
And those people, damn it. She wouldn't let them off when she became the crown princess.
"Everyone, you've misunderstood. This … this … this is Lovell's idea. She feels that her previous actions hurt Silo and wants to make it up to her."
Rui Er was quick-witted and hurriedly spoke, trying his best to suppress the panic in his eyes.
"We can't reject her request, so …"
"What a joke. As the daughter of an earl, she doesn't know the rules of the palace. How did you teach her as her guardian?"
"Every noble family's children have to start learning the palace etiquette and noble social skills when they reach the age of thirteen. Now you're saying that Lovell asked for it?"
Dora's voice rose sharply, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.
The others present also looked at Leon and Rui with dissatisfaction. How could they teach the earl's child like this? It was a crime.
Leon's heart sank. He thought that they were in trouble today.
Unless, unless his daughter could gain the crown prince's favor when he arrived, the consequences …
Rui 'er's forehead was covered in cold sweat. The exquisite and luxurious gown didn't make her feel proud. Instead, it felt very heavy.
How would they know what royal etiquette they had to learn? No one had told them.
"I don't think you're trying to harm Lofer on purpose, are you? Are you trying to steal her property?"
"After all, you were the ones who tricked Lovell when she was very young and made her give you the Earl's Mansion personally bestowed by the King."
"How bold. I wonder what qualifications do you have to live in the Earl's mansion since you don't have any title?"
Dora didn't know how to let people off easily. She only knew that after so many years, she finally had a chance to vent her resentment. How could she let it go so easily?
Both Leon and Rael flushed with embarrassment at Dora's questioning.
Why were there so many things that they didn't know about? What should they do now?
Just as the atmosphere was tense, the chief steward of the palace announced loudly, "The King has arrived."
Then, the closed door slowly opened.
The moment Joss, who was dressed in a golden king's robe, appeared, he attracted a lot of attention.
"Wang Yean."
"Good night," Joss replied as he searched the crowd for the brat's sweetheart.
However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find the brat.
Could it be that she was shy because he wasn't here yet?
Then how would he know who his daughter-in-law was?
The chief steward walked forward quietly and pointed at Silo.
"My King, the person beside her is the guardian that Earl Lovell chose for Little Lovell. I think she should be Miss Lovell."
Joss looked over and nodded in satisfaction.
Her appearance was passable. Her temperament … was okay too. However, he couldn't see her eyes. He didn't know what kind of child she was.
However, since the brat liked her, she should be a good one. He immediately walked over.
The crowd, who had been paying attention to the King, had a complicated expression when they saw him walking towards the Leon couple.
They didn't know if the King was going to punish them directly or …
"You must be Little Lovell. You're already so big. Not bad, not bad."
Joss only realized when he walked closer that this girl was a little introverted. Not bad.
She complemented that brat of his.
The Leon couple was indescribably excited when the King walked straight to them.
However, before they could speak, the King's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over them, chilling them to the core.
Lovell, Lovell, Lovell again. Why were all these people talking about Lovell? Wasn't her reputation ruined?
Didn't they all hate her? They even went around spreading rumors about her.
But why were they acting like they liked her so much at this moment?
They didn't understand. They didn't understand at all.
Seeing that they didn't speak, the King was confused. Did he scare them?
"King, she …"
"King, thank you for your compliment. However, this child is unlucky. She's not Miss Lovell. Because of what happened before, Miss Lovell felt embarrassed, so she asked her to attend on her behalf."
Ray knew that he was in trouble the moment Dora spoke, so he quickly interrupted.
The words came out of his mouth without thinking at all.
Because in her opinion, the King was clearly satisfied with Silo. He had never seen Lovell before.
Therefore, even if he knew that Silo wasn't Lovell, he would still like her.
Instead of letting others say that their relationship was over, it was better to take the initiative to explain.
Presumably, the wise and kind King wouldn't blame them.
Silo took the opportunity to bow to the King and greeted him shyly, "King, good night. I'm Silo, Lovell's adopted sister."
Her hands, which were hanging by her side, clutched her skirt tightly. She was very uneasy.
She couldn't let the opportunity slip away just like that. The King obviously thought highly of her. Lovell was nothing.
Both of them, who were full of confidence, quietly waited for the King's next words.
But after waiting for a long time, both of them were confused. They looked up carefully and their hearts tightened.
Joss' face darkened. What did these two just say? It wasn't Lovell?!
He had written the invitation himself. He remembered clearly that the invitee was Mi Lovell.
These two were really bold. They actually dared to …
"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." Joss was about to fly into a rage when he saw his son.
He looked away guiltily. If his son knew that the person he had specially asked to invite didn't come, would he ruin the banquet?
Qiao Shuya changed a few sets of clothes and finally chose the one he was most satisfied with.
He hurried out to meet that stupid human. He was worried that she would cry if she didn't see his handsome face.
But … where was she? Why wasn't she here yet?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I'm Silo. I've admired you for a long time."
When Qiao Shuya walked in, Silo's face was red and her eyes were filled with lust.
This was the perfect partner in her heart. He was so handsome and stylish.
She didn't care about the occasion and went up to him to confess shyly.
Silo, who was immersed in the fantasy that she would definitely charm the Crown Prince, didn't notice the looks of the people around her.
Strange, sneering, and gloating.
