Lina felt like she was in a dream, surrounded by royal convoys and guards, approaching the majestic palace. It was
as if she had transformed into a cherished princess, receiving respectful gazes and warm smiles wherever she
looked.
Despite the spacious and comfortable car she was in, she couldn’t relax. Quietly, she took out her phone and called
Zeke.
“Hey, what are you up to?” she asked.
With just an hour’s time difference between Southeast Aciatic and Jangasas, Lina checked her watch. Zeke was
probably working at the supermarket. She could hear the chaotic noise on the other end.
“I’m collecting payments! Quite busy with customers today,” he replied.
“Oh… never mind then.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Wait!” Zuko quickly snatched the phone and gave an intimidating glare to drive away the customers. He asked in a
hushed voice, “What’s wrong?”
“I just… wanted to talk to you. It feels so surreal like I’m dreaming!” Lina spoke softly.
Zuko paused, a faint smile appearing on his lips. She must have received a grand reception befitting a state guest.
His father’s “close” friend had come through for him at this critical moment!
“Do you like this dream?” Zuko asked in a deep voice.
After a moment of contemplation, Lina’s voice turned tender. “The dream is beautiful, but I don’t like it without
you.”
Zuko, scanning products, felt his heart skip a beat. He gripped the snack packaging tightly, almost bursting it. At
that moment, it felt as if a field of flowers had bloomed before his eyes, creating a magnificent floral sea.
Remus’ voice interrupted them. “Ms. Jenner, it’s time to get out of the car.”
Lina acknowledged and whispered to Zuko, “Zeke, I have to get off the car now. Let’s video chat at our usual time
tonight, don’t forget!”
Reluctantly, Zuko replied hesitantly, “Oh… mm,” before gazing at his phone’s dark screen for a moment. Suddenly,
a bright grin spread across his face.
The convoy drove straight into the palace, parking in the central courtyard.
Lina stepped out of the car, capturing the astonished gazes of onlookers.
Remus treated her like an honored guest, escorting her inside without undergoing any security checks.
Meanwhile, they had spent nearly two hours going through rigorous security procedures!
Under the scorching sun, Violet seethed with anger, her annoyance growing upon seeing Lina. She rolled her eyes
countless times, muttering disdainfully, “Hmph! A country bumpkin at the palace. Luckily, there are no foreign
journalists around!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRemus overheard her remarks clearly but chose to let them slide for the time being. He greeted Lina with a polite
smile. “Ms. Jenner, your attire does not meet the requirements.”
Lina felt embarrassed and quickly apologized. “I’m truly sorry! I didn’t anticipate the opportunity to visit the palace
when I came to Southeast Aciatic, so I didn’t prepare…”
“It’s alright!” Remus reassured her, his smile gentle. He clapped his hands, and a maid promptly brought forward a
set of exquisite clothing.
“Ms. Jenner, this attire was once worn by Her Highness Princess Aurelia. It should fit you well, as your figure is
similar to hers!”
“What!?”
Everyone present, including Lina, was astounded. The maid unfolded the clothing, revealing intricate craftsmanship
with a complex blue background pattern, golden embroidery, and pearl embellishments. It was a true masterpiece,
showcasing the epitome of luxury.
Clearly, this was more than just a set of clothing—it was a work of art!
