Chapter 62: You Look Different

Chapter 62: You Look Different

"But, that girl.." Countess Moore did not want to leave after being insulted like this. "She had pushed me. Are we going to leave just like that?" what would be about her image, her position? Would she not be an easy target in the future?

Count Moore hesitated when he met Olivia’s cold eyes. There was a smile on her face yet her eyes were unyielding. He looked away hurriedly.

"Do you not understand urgency, if you want to tarry then return yourself later." Countess Moore was stunned to be scolded in public. No matter how their relationship had been, her husband had always been kind and polite to her in public.

She did not understand what happened but it was all because of her! She glared at Olivia as if she wanted to shred her into pieces. But she could only bite her lips and follow her already leaving husband.

Olivia was stunned. She was prepared for a long argument. But this.."

"Aunt!" Olivia shook the unease and smiled at Abi, squeezing her hand.

"It is alright. You are doing good. Would you like to eat something now?" Abi’s eyes were filled with unshed tears. She was enduring the harsh scolding before but now that she felt the protection and warmth of her aunt, she sniffled and wrapped her tiny hands around her waist.

Olivia felt a stone weighing her chest. What is the use of being a noble if you can not even walk as you wish.

"There, there! Abi is looking so beautiful today. If she cries, others will think she is ugly." Abi paused at once and wiped her face. She looked away and noticed a few guests staring at her. She had forgotten that she was still at the party. Her face flushed and she panicked.

"Aunt, I will take her to congratulate my brother. We were only looking for him when.." he shook her head and held Abi’s hand. In a perfect suit, Leo looked dependable and adorable. Olivia smiled at him as she let go of Abi.

Her sister would kill her! Just as Olivia thought, when she turned, Oriana was glaring at her.

The others seemed not to notice as they looked away subtly. Olivia took a deep breath and walked toward her sister.

"You have grown wings." Olivia flinched at those words. "Birds flying higher are often shot by the hunters or caught by them for fun."

"I was only protecting your name. If a mere countess would insult us.."

"Abi is kept away for a reason. We both know that she did not belong here! Forget it!!" Oriana took a deep breath. She had served enough gossip in the last party when Olivia had decided to rebel for the first time. Since then, this girl has changed. She is not nervous or submissive at all even when she is trembling with fear. But what changed her so much?!

"Your highness is searching for you earlier." Oriana’s face finally softened. "It looks like he has taken a fancy to you. Make sure he did not have a bad impression of you and spend some good time with him. Do not refuse any advances he makes, but do not lose your worth early. Now go, look for him." her eyes held warning for Olivia. Oriana was only enduring her whims because she would win favor from the royal family.

If Olivia failed this task, she would not be able to raise her head like that. Olivia nodded with determined eyes. Even if she had to chew Damon to cross him, she would do that.

Olivia asked a maid to follow Abi and Leo and serve them a few snacks. She stood there and watched them for a while. Only when she was assured of their safety, did she go to search for Edward.

The man was sitting with six girls. Daughter of marquis and count. All held higher value than her. When their eyes matched, Olivia noticed provocation in them.

"Your highness!" Olivia curtsied. The man seemed not to hear her. He smiled sweetly as the girl sitting beside him offered a peeled grape.

It had been two minutes of bowing to her. Her knees started to ache but she did not dare to raise her head.

"Your highness, would you like this wine?" a woman smiled sweetly as if Olivia’s trembling body could not be seen by any of them.

Olivia bit her lips harder. She was not going to give up this soon. "Your.." before she could call the man again, she felt a warm hand on her back. He held her so that she could lean on her.

"Your highness, if you may allow, I need to introduce my aunt to my knights." Olivia flinched! What was this man even thinking? She knew Edward was angry that she did not choose him earlier.

If she left again, he would only be furious further. There is a time to play hard to get and a time to behave submissive.

"Your knights!" The words felt like venom. "You meant the heroes of the war you have fought?" Edward smiled but his eyes were mocking. "I have seen them on my way here. I must say, you have a unique team serving you." Many laughed at his comment but Damon’s eyes did not flicker.

Olivia finally lost her balance. But he held her before she could fall.

Edward paused. He had not planned to hurt her this much. He only wanted to remind her who holds authority here or she would play this game for too long.

"Your aunt had come to me herself. I had neither invited her nor stopped her from leaving." he tilted her head and started talking with the daughter of marquis again.

"Your.."

"Come with me." Damon cut Olivia before she could choose Edward. Olivia glared at Damon. But she still could not defy those cold eyes. This cold man who had killed her in the past. "You need to see this, Olivia."
