Morgan's cruel whispers sent a chill down Leticia's spine, but she refused to let it show on her face. Instead, she maintained her bright smile, waving at the cameras and the curious onlookers.
"Ah, look at that! The Princeton ladies are all smiles," someone shouted from the crowd.
"Yes, and their dresses are simply stunning!" another voice added.
Leticia glanced at Amelia, who was preening under the attention. She looked every inch the spoiled heiress, her golden hair shining under the sunlight and her designer dress hugging her curves perfectly.
"Amelia, darling, you look radiant!" Lily exclaimed, pulling her daughter into a tight hug.
Morgan watched the display with a critical eye, her gaze lingering on Leticia for a moment longer than necessary. She leaned in close again, her voice low and venomous.
"You think you're so clever, don't you? Trying to undermine my daughter's chances by exposing her to this circus. Well, I won't let you ruin this for Amelia."
Leticia laughed softly, a sound devoid of humor.
"Has Amelia handled a spear before?" Leticia asked she touched her chin.
Mother used to be a little warrior knight long time ago.
"Wouldn't it be good to teach her?" Leticia said.
"Do as you see fit."
As see fit.
Leticia recalls how she wanted to that so much. But Mother refused no matter what. Since Amelia gets whatever she wants something. Let this birthday party be the day she engrave the difference between our levels between Amelia.
A calm person was sitting at a cafe he had black hair and green eyes. These days the Princeton Family has been the talk of town. The man was in disguise. Little Letty looks fed up with it all. Leonardo smiled as he waved his finger to a boy.
"Have this delivered to Leticia Princeton the blue haired girl."
Leticia was sitting at a near by a tree. How many times changes dresses does one take? So troublesome.
"Lady Leticia?" A boy said. Leticia turned her head.
"Mmm?"
"This is for you a gentleman said to give it to you."
Who is this from? Leticia opened the note.
It's soon be too obvious if you keep on that boring face baby one would notice that look on your face.
Rohan
Leonardo that's his middle name. But surly people would notice him with that golden blonde hair and golden silver eyes. Ah that boy next to black haired guy. His hair is black and green eyes. Is this a magic disguise tool. Leo never forgets to amazing.
Leticia's lips curved into a small, genuine smile as she read Rohan's note. It was a rare sight, one that caught the attention of those around her. The boy who delivered the message bowed and retreated, leaving Leticia alone with her thoughts and the mysterious note.
She looked up, her gaze scanning the café until it landed on the blackhaired man with green eyes. He nodded subtly, his expression unreadable behind his disguise. Leticia felt a flutter in her chest, a warmth spreading through her at the knowledge that Leonardo was nearby, watching over her.
The sound of heels clicking against pavement drew her attention away from the mysterious man. Amelia approached, flanked by Morgan and Lily. Their dresses were impeccable, their hair perfectly styled. Amelia's gaze was fixed on Leticia, a smirk playing on her lips.
"Still sitting here all alone?" Amelia asked, her voice dripping with condescension.
"Leticia where are you going?" Morgan said.
"I am going to see acquaintances of mine."
Acquaintances is it someone from the battle airship. Well it wouldn't be bad at all.
"You may."
"I'll be back."
Leticia walked away and turned a corner and saw Leonardo who was sitting there. Ah Leticia hasn't seen him in a long time.
"It's been a while Leonardo. Has it been 7 years since we last meant," Leticia said.
"Been while. Very well it has been a well," Leonardo said.
"Why call me over?"
"I saw you and I wanted to call you over."
"You looked rather fed up over there."
"Mmm?" Leticia looked at the strawberry ice cream fruit.
Mother never allowed her to have sweets but this is…she took a spoon and she made a face mmm this is so delicious.
"You are looking at it as if it's strange, Letty," Leonardo said.
"It's sweet and good."
"Hehe I knew you would like it."
Leticia now you look like a 17 year old girl. Seeing that surprise face that is so happy just by a sweet filled Leonardo heart with warmth.
"What do you think?"
"It's so wonderful! Tests so delicious and so good."
Leonardo eyes darken. Leticia you still clench your hands when you are angry or upset when you are sad or lonely often your bracelet. But those little scars haven't changed. Just who the hell are you trying to deceive darling?
"Leticia have you been getting along with your sister?"
Leticia stopped.
"Once my sister is engaged to you she will once again leave duchy. It's a short period of time, once my sister…I remain alone," Leticia said. Everything that Leticia bears will be Amelia to bear.
"Right you remain alone," he muttered he stood up and walked back get to Leticia.
"I would like to give you a present before I leave," Leonardo said as he grabbed box that was full of different types of candy and a box that had white silk gloves.
"Thank you!" Leticia said smiled. Leonardo smirked as he turned around Letty wait a little long longer no matter what you will be my wife.
Leticia felt so happy after being alone and hanging out with Leonardo. She waved her hand as she opened a magic cycle they took her to magic town.
After being in the magic tower and getting what she needed she left.
Leticia arrived back at the Princeton mansion, her heart still fluttering from her encounter with Leonardo. She clutched the box of candies and gloves tightly, as if they were precious treasures. As she entered the foyer, she was greeted by the sight of Morgan and Amelia waiting for her, their expressions stern.
"Where have you been?" Morgan demanded, her eyes narrowing as she took in Leticia's flushed cheeks and bright eyes.
"I told you I was meeting acquaintances," Leticia replied calmly, setting the boxes down on a nearby table.
Amelia stepped forward, her gaze fixed on the boxes.
"What did you get?" she asked, reaching out to grab one of them.
Leticia snatched it away before Amelia could touch it, holding it protectively against her chest.
"This is mine," she said firmly, her eyes flashing with a warning.
Morgan's lips thinned into a disapproving line.
"You're being rude to your sister," she chided.
"Share with her."
"No thanks," Leticia said indifferently.
