โI am the maid-of-honor of His Majesty Paris. I was able to join the Royal Palace while my brother joined the Order. I was waiting outside because I wasnโt invited to the banquet.โ
Amorettaโs eyes were downcast as if she just had learned her manners as a maid.
She didnโt seem to recognize Apollonia.
โYou have an older brother? How did your brother get to know my brother Paris?โ
Apollonia looked at her face. As far as he knew, Amoretta was an orphan.
โHis Highness has helped us escape living a difficult life.โ She answered vaguely, avoiding her gaze.
โYouโre lying.โ
She was hiding her real identity. Obviously, someone must have instructed her. At that moment, all the questions in Apolloniaโs head were completely resolved.
She was the sole sorceress of Luwanโs business empire, the creator of hair color-changing combs, enchanted pieces of jewelry, and dresses. She concocted an effective potion that could change Parisโ eye color which most geniuses wouldnโt be able to achieve including garments that wouldnโt catch fire. Amoretta was the only one who could make such a thing. The Bella knights that Paris had brought were just a part of his trick since many people had been curious about the talent of Luwanโs sorceress, who was excellent at magic. Several people of unknown origins were shown off to be suspected while the real Amoretta was brought in from behind as a maid. No one who had taken a good look at her face would think that she was the sorceress of Luwanโs top. Once a person got misled by her appearance, it would be hard to see beyond that. Amoretta will be perceived by most as Parisโ maidservant, lover, and future mistress.
โFate can be ironic.โ
Since she possessed an exceptional talent that the world hadnโt seen before, she came across Apolloniaโs mind several times as she dealt with Luwanโs top but she hadnโt expected Petra or Paris to have Amoretta. No. Maybe she just didnโt want to believe it.
โWhen did you meet my brother Paris?โ
โWe met about five years ago. He saved me from cold and hunger.โ Amoretta stuttered, lowering her gaze again. For a moment, she could see a subtle flash of her face and it made her raise an eyebrow. She knew that look. It was the same expression Tanya once made while looking at Uriel. The smile that her mother had worn when she looked at the emperor a long time ago. Sometimes, it was the way Uriel glanced at Apollonia.
No way.
Trying to erase her doubt, Apollonia asked Amoretta.
โFor five years, have you been my brother Parisโs lover?โ
It was a natural question. If a beautiful woman from a humble background introduced herself as the crown princeโs maid, anyone would think they were lovers. Amorettaโs face flamed up.
โI donโt want him to appear as an unsympathetic lover. Iโm just a maid.โ
She looked particularly excited, saying the word โloverโ.
Apolloniaโs heart sank.
โParis had never told me anything about youโโโ
That wasnโt wrong. They didnโt care and didnโt know anything about each other.
โThe first time he saved me, I asked him not to tell anyone about me! I think itโs burdensome for someone to pay attention to me. Iโm nothing.โ
Amoretta blushed hard.
โYou love him,โ Apollonia said bitterly. Everything became clear. Why did someone like Amoretta stay with Paris and run Petraโs errands if that wasnโt the case? Petra would have easily taken advantage of that.
โYour Highness was kind to me,โ Amoretta said quietly, looking like she wanted to explain further.
โDo you have any other family or relatives? Who do you know in the capital? If you donโt, youโll feel very lonely.โ Apollonia asked. She wondered if Amoretta remembered what happened in Lishan. Obviously, she wanted to see Apollonia again.
โThere was one person, but I donโt have any news about her. I was grateful to that person for saving me, but I donโt know where or what sheโs doing now.โ
Amoretta said. Her expression looked dim as if she was thinking of someone she missed. Obviously, she was thinking of Apollonia whom she met in Lishan. Apolloniaโs eyes sparkled. Maybe there was still a chance.
โThen Iโll find her.โ
โIโve been looking for her for a while, but not anymore. Iโll just remember her will and determination.โ Amoretta said flatly. fr eeweb novel
โWhy?โ
โI know I canโt find her anyway, and I have His Highness Paris by my side.โ She stared dreamily into space. โTo me, he is the most precious person or lord. As his maidservant, I donโt dare ask for much, but I want to give him everything I have.โ
Apolloniaโs heart sank with disappointment. ๐ฏ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ท๐ธ๐ฟ๐๐ต.๐๐ธ๐ถ
Amoretta certainly meant it.
โButโโ-โ
โAmoretta!โ
As soon as Apollonia tried to say something more, she heard a familiar voice from behind.
โYour Highness.โ
Turning around, what caught her eyes were the same pupils as Apolloniaโs. In the dark, the golden light mixed into it was barely visible, leaving only a blood-red color. In a sense, those eyes seemed to resemble Parisโ cruel temper.
โCome in. Itโs getting cold outside.โ
