Chapter 509
Playing the part of the king, Lucian welcomed Archie and Benny by saying, “Welcome to the party, you adorable
elves!”
Although he had gotten his lines correct, his tone sounded so cold that it didn’t match the mood at all.
As a result, Archie and Benny found themselves unable to get into character.
Roxanne shot Lucian a helpless look and said, “This is a fairy tale meant for children, Mr. Farwell. You’ll scare the
kids off like that.”
Unsure of what she meant, Lucian simply frowned at her in confusion. •
“You need to put more emotion into your lines. We just had a baby, so you should be more happy about it,”
Roxanne explained.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThose words had barely left her mouth when she realized how wrong that sounded. “The king and queen are
having a celebration for their princess, but you don’t sound like you’re celebrating at all!” she quickly explained with
her face all red.
Lucian frowned and stared at her in silence.
“Try to recall how you felt when Essie was born,” Roxanne reminded him patiently.
The look in Lucian’s eyes turned slightly gloomy as he glanced at Estella.
Her condition was terrible when I got her, so I felt nothing but anger and heartache. There was no excitement
whatsoever…
With that in mind, he stared at Roxanne and wondered how she felt when she gave birth to Estella back then.
Thinking he still didn’t understand what she meant, Roxanne tried to give him some more guidance. “How did you
talk to your employees at Farwell Group during company parties?”
“Just like that,” Lucian replied with a straight face.
“In that case, I’ll say this line instead. You…”
Roxanne had wanted to tell Lucian to avoid speaking if possible but held herself back when she recalled that he
would have lots of lines as the prince.
Lucian arched an eyebrow at her in confusion.
Roxanne let out an awkward chuckle in response. “Never mind-let’s just forget this part for now.”
Lucian nodded without saying a word.
Roxanne then got into character and smiled at Archie and Benny as she continued, “Welcome to the party, you
adorable elves!”.
The two kids got into character as well and smiled back at her. “Thank you for the invitation, Your Majesty. Please
allow us to give the princess our blessings!”

Roxanne was about to thank them when Estella entered the scene as the witch.
“You guys sure are bold!” she shouted while glaring at them.
Roxanne nearly burst out laughing when she saw how cute Estella looked. She then pretended to back away in fear,
only to be pulled into Lucian’s embrace.
“Who are you?” he asked, showing some emotion this time.
Estella then replied with her lines according to the script.
Meanwhile, Roxanne’s mind went blank as she froze up in Lucian’s arms.
She was so shocked by his sudden hug that she forgot they were rehearsing and instinctively broke free from his
grip.
Her response was so sudden that Estella stopped reciting her lines halfway through and stared at her in confusion.
“What’s wrong, Mommy?” Benny asked worriedly.
