Sold to a Prince!-Chapter 187 - It Is Not Good To Daydream Part3
"Her highness is completely fine. She just needs to rest awhile." A young man, slightly chubby on the sides muttered in deep contemplation.
But as opposed to his composed and calm words, the man himself looked as if he was in discomfort and was fidgeting awkwardly.
His cheeks were flushed and his eyes were not willing to leave the beautiful damsel lying on the bed.
"Lord Meja…?" Evie once again asked in concern. "Is there anything else?"
The man was clearly ogling the princess but to others, it looked like the physician was thinking about some deep complicated condition.
"Ah, nothing. Nothing. Like I said she is completely fine." The physician scratched his head and reluctantly turned around to leave.
After he left, all three maids dismissed the other guards and made sure that Sylvia was comfortable, leaving her to properly rest.
Once everyone had cleared out, another figure flickered at the entrance of her chamber but no one else noticed his presence.
His golden eyes gazed at the sleeping figure in a mixture of relief and worry but it somehow turned into a frown after a few seconds.
"Hmph. You are good at creating scenes just like your mother!" Frederick Akhekh silently left the room, returning back to his court.
His court was bigger than usual today, as the last of the stragglers from the gala were still hanging around.
As soon as he returned, one of the guards quickly stepped forward and informed him. "Your majesty, Princess Sylvia has…"
The guard whispered the news in his ears but Frederick harrumphed loudly in response. "I can't be bothered to care about such trivial things."
Ahh? The confused guard quickly stepped back and returned to his position.
He was just delivering the news like he was supposed to but he didn't know why the King was in such a bad mood. Even his response seemed very defensive.

Sylvia woke up only in the late evening, finding herself in the soft bed instead of the tangled tree roots.
But she was not in the least surprised by that as she could guess what might have happened.
Mmm… She hummed as she pulled away from her blanket and got out of bed, stretching her arms and her legs.
She leaned towards her right and then her left, a few cracks sounding as she tensed and relaxed her lateral and back muscles.
If she was not mistaken, it looked like her body had healed completely.
She even checked her elbows and knees for bruises but her skin was once again milky white, soft, and free of any blemishes.
She was now dressed in a set of fresh robes and her silver hair was neatly brushed. It was clear that her maids had taken care of her well while she was asleep.
Just as she was thinking about them, Lola quickly rushed forward and bowed. "Your highness, may I call for the royal physician?"
"Huh?" Sylvia quickly waved her hand to dismiss her question. "No need. No need. I am completely fine. Bring me something to eat."
"As you please, your highness." Lola bowed and turned around to leave when Sylvia stopped her again.
"Was the physician called while I was asleep?"
After hearing Sylvia's question, Lola was now more than sure that something had happened. She immediately panicked, afraid that they had done something wrong.
"Ahh… Umm… Please forgive us, your highness. We were worried and concerned about your health, so we had no other choice but to call for the physician."
Sigh. Sylvia shook her head. "It's alright. Just bring me some food."
She already had a pretty good idea about her new family members. They were probably laughing about this and labeling her once again a weakling, but she didn't care.
Especially after yesterday's discovery, Sylvia knew that she was not going to stay here for long.
She looked at her hands again and silently mumbled… "As soon as I am strong enough…"
In just a few minutes, the maids quickly rushed over and served the evening dinner for Sylvia.
Everyone knew about the monstrous appetite of the royal family, but the maids couldn't help but gasp inwardly seeing the amount of meat Sylvia was putting away.
In all honesty, Sylvia did not bother herself with anything and ate as much as she wanted without holding back.
It wasn't her fault. Her stomach was acting more and more like a black hole with each passing day.
She had no other choice but to comply with that ravenous hunger and since she was in a good mood, she even enjoyed the process.
Wiping her mouth after the feast, Sylvia hummed in satisfaction.
"The cake that was served in the gala yesterday, prepare it for me. I have a feeling that I might need a midnight snack."
A smile formed on her lips as she remembered the ridiculously delicious pastry she had tasted yesterday.
She stood up to walk to the gardens as it was almost time for Mrs. Gruger's tutoring session, but she paused seeing that all the three maids stood still, utterly shocked.
"Huh? What happened?"
The three of them shook their heads hurriedly and then scattered in different directions. Google search 𝗳𝔯e𝒆𝙬𝘦𝙗𝓷o𝘷el. c૦𝑚
They didn't dare answer Sylvia as it would have been extremely embarrassing, if not punishable.
This was the first time they had seen her smile and her smile was so mesmerizing that they couldn't stop themselves from getting caught up in it.
Sylvia herself hadn't realized it yet. The frigid and cold aura that swirled around her had already cracked.
Along with her body that felt light and free, her heart was also free and she wore a smile on her lips without meaning to.
She strolled in the garden for a couple of minutes but Mrs. Gruger sharply arrived at her usual time.
"Greetings, your highness."
"Greetings, Mrs. Gruger." Sylvia nodded at the stern-looking middle-aged woman and sat down on the chair opposite to her.
There were a lot of things that she needed to ask this woman today evening.
