The Queen was only momentarily surprised before realizing Kingâs thoughts.
After all, she was Noraâs aunt. Besides, the Queenâs attitude towards Nora was completely as if she was her daughter. She had already said that the future of the company belonged to Nora. She treated Nora as if she were her biological daughter.
Therefore, King was more polite to her because he knew this.
At the thought of this, the Queen felt a little sour. Did she really like Nora that way? At the thought of that arrogant woman, the Queen felt instantly angry. Why were all the outstanding men in the world so blind as to have taken a liking to her?
The Queen looked behind Queenie and asked, âWhereâs Miss Smith?â
Queenie smiled. âSheâs not up yet. You know my Nora is a sleeping god.â
Nora, who was following Justin and had just yawned: â?â
The Queen pursed her lips again.
See, she had to sleep at such an important time, didnât King care? But maybe she knew Kingâs identity. The Queen secretly cursed that she would definitely ignore her today. She wasnât begging Queenie anymore, so she could show her nobility. She couldnât act like she was in a hurry to build a relationship with them. As soon as Queenie thought of this, the little girl behind her rushed up like an arrow.
Before she could stop her, she heard Princess Lucy say to Cherry, who was trailing behind Queenie, âCherry, Iâve come to see you again! Will you welcome me?â
Cherry: âMucâ¦â
Before the word âmuchâ could come out of her mouth, Xander pursed his lips. âTsk, why are you here again, how long are you planning to stay at our house this time?â.
The last time Lucy had gone to New York, sheâd stayed at the Huntsâ house for a whole week. In the end, it was the nanny who loaded her up and took her away despite the Little Princessâ screams. Xander felt she was too noisy.
The Queen: â!â
Her expression darkened. Her daughter was a noble Princess wherever she went, but this brat was belittling her? Lucy must have been very patient.
The next moment, however, she saw her daughter approach Xander. âXander, I brought Cherry her favorite present! Can I stay here for five days?â
Xander held out a finger. âA day at most.â
His daughter shook Xander. âFour days then!â
âNo, one day.â
âBut I want to stay at your place. If you wonât let me, Iâllâ¦â
The Queen thought her daughter had finally snapped.
Yes, she had.
Bring out your dignity as a Royal Princess! Say that if they donât let you stay, youâll send troops and arrest them!
Anyway, as Queen, she couldnât say such things. She should leave the rebellious and personal things to her daughter! Then, she would come forward and make the situation calm down?
Just as the Queen was thinking about this, she heard her daughter cry out, âIâm going to cry!â.
Little princess, couldnât you be a little more ambitious!
Xander was clearly stunned by her words. âDonât cry. I hate it when girls cry.â
âThen I wonât cry.â
The little princess immediately wiped away her tears and asked quietly, âSo, can I stay for three⦠two days?â
The Queen: ââ¦â
In the past, her daughter had been Cherryâs lapdog. Why was she now Xanderâs lapdog?
The Queen was furious. She couldnât win at anything against Nora. Why couldnât her daughter win at anything against Noraâs son either?
Even being royalty, why were they so humble!!!!
âDonât you feel good? You donât look so good.â
Queenieâs calm words caused the Queen to set aside her gritted teeth and go back to being graceful. She smiled and said, âNo, itâs just that I think the children are getting along quite well.â
Queenie ignored Queenieâs thoughts and just looked at Black Cat who was standing behind King. She raised her eyebrows.
Queenie immediately approached Black Cat without a trace and blocked Queenieâs view. âMadame Schmidt, shall we take a look at your castle first?â
Black Cat was Noraâs love rival!
She couldnât let Queenie hurt her.
Queenie nodded. âNora happens to be sleeping. Itâs not convenient for us to disturb her. Iâll show you around first.â
With that, she looked meaningfully at Black Cat.
The guards couldnât follow her around all the time. This allowed Nora to hurry back to her room and change her clothes to receive the guests. After all, the two people who were coming today were also old friends of Noraâs.
Nora nodded and stood two steps behind. Just as she was about to slip away, she was suddenly grabbed by the arm.
She looked up and saw the Queen looking at her. She lowered her voice and said, âThis is Schmidt territory. Donât go anywhere. If the Schmidtâs find out that King is looking at you otherwise, that tigress will definitely not forgive you. Stay behind me, Iâll protect you.â
Nora: ââ¦â
She grimaced. âI have to go to the bathroom.â
The Queen looked straight ahead and gritted her teeth. âOkay, Iâll accompany you.â
Nora: ââ¦â
That wasnât what she meant.
Barbarian, who was standing behind the Queen, looked deeply at her with caution in his eyes. Security guards were very responsible. Nora lowered her gaze.
âNo need. I donât like going to the bathroom with other people.â
The Queen: ââ¦â
After finally leaving the Queen, Nora deftly walked around the mansion and quickly returned to her room. She changed into a usual set of clothes and removed her mask before leaving the room.
Later, Queenie had already learned that Nora was âawakeâ. Therefore, she led the group of people back to the living room.
Nora pretended that she had just come downstairs and greeted them one by one.
The Queen looked at Nora and then at King. She didnât know if Nora really didnât recognize King or if she pretended not to know him. Either way, she pretended she was seeing him for the first time.
She raised her eyebrows and unconsciously looked behind her.
Why hadnât Black Cat come out of the bathroom?
Was he⦠having diarrhea?
At that moment, King began to bring out the gifts he had prepared.
Lawrence had prepared all the presents. The gifts for Cherry and the others in front were all normal. Cherry, who had received a Barbie doll, tilted her head and appraised King carefully. His dark eyes sparkled, but he didnât speak.
Justin knew the little girl had recognized him.
However, the little girl was very smart. Seeing that Nora didnât openly acknowledge him, he didnât say anything either. Pete and Xander also looked at each other and blinked.
Finally, it was Noraâs turn.
Justin smiled, âIâve also prepared a gift for Miss Smith. I wonder if sheâll like it.â
After saying that, he waved his hand. Lawrence, who was wearing a mask, instantly stepped forward and handed Nora a box with a picture of a bird on it.
Justin: â?â
Sean ââ¦â
Nora didnât think too much of it and just reached out to receive it.
When the Queen saw it out of the corner of her eye, she pursed her lips and smiled suddenly. âThis bird print suits Miss Smith very well.â
Hearing this, Lawrence felt a shiver run down his spine. Nevertheless, he insisted on not bending over. He was different from the Chief. He could not encourage the Chief to cheat on his partner â Miss Smith!
This was the only clue he could give her.
He hoped she could understand.
She had been horned. There were a lot of horns on her head!
