Planet Royal in the Royal Region.
Inside Princess Astridâs room. Astrid had just finished her call with David, and she jumped up in excitement. David had told her that he would be arriving on Planet Royal soon. After learning that David was about to arrive, Astrid was elated. She had waited so long for this day. She had been looking forward to David coming to Planet Royal. Now, the day was finally here. âLalalaâ¦â
Astrid started humming and dancing happily in her room.
Outside the room, Astridâs maids, one old and one young; started discussing among themselves after hearing the princess humming. âOh no! Oh no! Her Royal Highness is sick again,â the younger maid said. âWhat nonsense are you saying? Arenât you scared that Her Royal Highness will hear you and not let you eat for three days?â The older maid quickly stopped her.
âAm I wrong? Ever since Her Royal Highness returned, she will either space out or giggle for no reason. Now, sheâs humming and dancing for no reason. I think Her Royal Highness must have been possessed while she was out there. So what if Her Royal Highness hears me? I donât mind not eating for three days! Iâm on a diet anyway.â
âOh, you! Youâre lucky Her Royal Highness has a good temper and is gentle. You only dare to say this because she treats her subordinates like sisters. If you got assigned to someone cruel, you would be thrown to the beasts if you dared to say that.â
â⦠Iâm just worried about Her Royal Highness. Sheâs so good to us, so I hope sheâll be happy and healthy forever,â the younger maid retorted, feeling guilty. Clearly, she knew it was not right to talk about the princess behind her back. If she were assigned to someone else, she would have it easy if her only punishment was to be thrown to the beasts. âAlright, stop making guesses. I know why Her Royal Highness is like this,â the older maid whispered. âWhy?â âItâs because Her Royal Highness is in love!â âHuh? In love?â
âOf course! If not, why is she like this? Her Royal Highness must be in love. Sheâd only act like this if she has someone she likes.â
âHâHâHow is this possible?â
âWhy not? Her Royal Highness is in her prime, and sheâs at the age when sheâll fall for someone the easiest. Iâm sure Her Royal Highness has met someone she likes out there.â âBâBut what kind of man will be suitable for such a flawless woman like Her Royal Highness? Sheâs so beautiful, so kind, and sheâs so gentle. Plus, sheâs the empireâs most loved princess,â the younger man asked curiously.
âYou donât have to worry about this. The most important thing is that Her Royal Highness likes him. Not many men are worthy of Her Royal Highness in the Milky Way.â
âIâm just curious. I want to meet this man. I want to see what magic power he has to make Her Royal Princess fall for him.â
When the maids were happily discussing among themselves, they heard a voice next to them. âHmph!â
The two shuddered from fright and quickly turned around to look. âYour Majesty!â The two maids quickly knelt and greeted with trembling voices.
Oh no! Oh no!
âWeâre doomed if Her Majesty hears us talking about the princess.â
The maids were petrified.
The empress was not as nice as the princess.
The princess would not punish them if she heard them.
Although the empress was not cruel, as the empress of the Milky Way Empire, she would not go easy on anyone who made a mistake. However, Gamora did not say anything before entering Astridâs room directly. The two maids left out sighs of relief.
When she entered the room, Gamora saw Astrid dancing and humming happily.
âLalalaâ¦â Astrid did not notice Gamora entering her room. Hence, Gamora pretended to cough.
âCough cough!â Astrid finally noticed her mother in her room. She quickly stopped dancing and cried out with a blush, âMother!â âYouâre the princess of the empire, but look at you. How scandalous! Do you think this is how a princess should behave?â Gamora said with an unpleasant look on her face. She was not mad, but she could tell Astrid was already madly in love.
