Chapter 102: Prepared A Gift!

"My lady, we have received two invitations from the royal palace." Oriana, who had just come out from her daughter’s room, paused.

"One belonged to Olivia and the other.." dread filled her eyes. She did not get the chance to send Damon away. Though the man did not leave his room often, she knew that he was a danger.

The maids felt her change in mood and hesitated.

"It is for the lord, your grace." Oriana’s face went dark instantly. She snatched both invitations and glared at the staff.

"You have not received anything. You did not see anything, did you get it?" the maid hurriedly bowed their heads. They did not dare to go against her cold eyes.

Oriana held the letters tightly and returned to her room. She did not care if she had to accuse one of the maids for their carelessness later. Damon must not go to the royal palace.

Taking a deep breath, she sat in her office chair and penned the letters one by one. After reading Olivia’s name on one and seeing her majesty’s seal on it, her face finally looked relieved.

"Olivia! You are my last chance." she whispered softly as if she was chanting a prayer and then opened another.

Her eyes burned when she noticed his majesty’s seat on another. But her frown grew deeper when she read the contents.

"They have asked Damon to join a knight party to fight barbarians again." colors finally returned on her face. The god was not as cruel as she had thought.

She sealed the letters again and called for a maid.

"Return the letters of whom they belong. Someone must have carelessly delivered them here." The maids bowed their heads lower, knowing well the meaning behind her words.

"Olivia must be dressed well." she added standing up and walking to the window. She watched as Leo was practicing horse riding alone. He was the future of this dukedom!

—--

Olivia stretched her body. Her muscles were sore since she had slept with Abi on the small bed. Her eyes were dark and her whole body screamed with exhaustion. How she wanted to rest more but when she heard the knock on the door, she knew the letter had come already.

She covered the sleeping girl with a blanket and walked out of the room. Two maids were waiting for her there.

"My lady, you have received an invitation from the royal palace. We must prepare you." Olivia nodded and followed them. In an hour, she was prepared to go to the royal palace.

Were they not going to meet in the Serene street? Olivia was confused. She had already stated the price. Was he hesitating now?

The journey to the palace was long and cold. For some reason, Olivia stared out of the carriage and noticed a familiar face on the horse.

Theo, felt her gaze and turned to nod at her. This was the first time she was allowed to take two knights with her and they belong to Damon?

For some reason, her heartbeat erratically. She closed the window at once as if she was caught doing clandestine affairs.

Her face heated and Damon’s cold eyes flashed in front of her. She patted her cheeks and shook her head.

"Olivia! He did not want to kill you now. You do not need to be scared of him anymore. Scared? Yes! This must be the feeling that had caught her. Or why would she remember him suddenly.

But it was better to travel with him. She had noticed how the time had passed last time. Her lips curled into a smile and Olivia failed to notice the yearning on her face.

She opened the book and started working on it instead.

When the carriage stopped in front of the royal palace, Oliva’s hair were set and she looked perfectly fresh as if she had just taken a bath.

She was escorted by six maids waiting for her at the door.

Olivia watched with surprise as she was not taken to the second prince’s palace.

"Are we going to the central place?" could it be that his majesty had called her to know about herbs? Now she felt like a fool to not read the contents of the invitation.

"No, my lady." The maids were equally stunned that the lady did not know the reason for their visit.

"It is her majesty, the queen’s palace where you were invited." they explained only for her frown to grow deeper. If her majesty had called her it meant either she wanted to test Olivia or she wanted to warn her to stay away from Edward.

In the past, her majesty had created many traps for her and she had fallen for a few of them. The woman never liked her presence.

When the door opened, Olivia saw Amber sitting on the chair beside Gabriella. She had a sweet smile on her face as if she was enjoying her time.

Both looked at Olivia when the door opened. Amber had a glint of surprise while Gabrilla smiled.

"Ah! You are finally here. When I did not receive a reply from you, I thought that you are not coming anymore." Olivia’s smile stiffened. Did she even have the authority to refuse an invitation from the royal palace? And it was not possible for Oriana to send her late. Without reading the contents, Olivia was sure that she was before time.

It only meant that she was called late.

Gabriella must have done it intentionally.

"I apologize, your majesty. But I could not believe my ears that you had called for me. And i could not help but check my attire again and again that i was late. It still feels like a surreal dream. And to make sure I leave an impression, I brought this for you." The maids looked at Olivia stunned.

Wasn’t the lady oblivious that her majesty had called for her just a few minutes ago. And now she had even prepared a gift?!!
