His Highness’ Secret Accountant

Chapter 203

Ariel, who was looking at the book she brought, answered with a dry voice.

Pierre, who had his pride hurt by her appearance, felt an unknown sense of challenge.

"There is an interesting place in the Stellen Kingdom. It looks like a shabby mansion from the outside, but when you go inside, it's amazing."

"?"

Ariel, whose interest was aroused by Pierre's words, raised her dark brown eyes without saying a word.

"I've been working in boutiques for a long time, but it's the first time I've seen a fountain in a mansion. Ahh, the Princess wouldn't be interested in something like this I said something inappropriate."

"It's alright. Continue."

Excited to see Ariel nodding her head with a friendly smile, Pierre wandered around and continued his words.

"Then, shall I? Anyway, I thought it was a great place. I was curious about what kind of work they did there, and, unexpectedly, it turned out they are operating a community of merchants."

"A community of merchants, there are plenty of them right now."

What a big deal.

Ariel, who had lost interest, turned to the book again.

"That's right. There are a lot of communities. They are everywhere. However This one is a bit special."

"Special?"

Pierre, who lowered his voice and looked around, slowly approached Ariel's ear.

"Oh my, His Highness didn't come, what should we do?"

"Men can be like that."

Pretending nothing was wrong, Ariel answered Pierre, who was faking politeness.

She looked pathetic, exerting a constant strength to stop her trembling lips.

"As soon as the outfit is finished, we will send it to you. It was an honor to meet you. Princess Ariel."

"Keep up the good work."

Ariel got into the carriage with a gentle expression while Pierre saw her off.

However, it hardened coldly as soon as the carriage's door closed.

"That damn bastard"

Some harsh words flowed out of Ariel's lips, who had only looked noble.

Pierre's attitude of showing excessive kindness as if making fun of her was unpleasant.

Was she that laughable, that a boutique employee was showing off as if he had become a noble?

He had a hard time holding back the laughter that was about to burst out.

He was like that.

He ridiculed her proudly, even though he is just a commoner.

How could she forget those eyes that looked down on her, the Princess of the great Libert Kingdom?

Ariel, whose whole body was shaking like an aspen, bit her lip hard.

Bang.

In the end, Ariel, unable to hold back her anger, clenched her fists and slammed them down on her seat.

The two maids who accompanied her glanced at Ariel, who had sunk heavily, and looked at their master's face.

"Are you alright? Princess?"

"Do I look like I'm alright?"

The maid that had asked the question flinched at Ariel's freezing cold voice.

A low sigh escaped Ariel's mouth, who had been staring at her as if she were going to kill her.

"Ah"

Matching the outfits they are going to wear at the engagement ceremony was something important.

She was pitiful, as the groom did not appear and left only a letter saying he was busy with work.

Thinking of the rumors that would spread in the social world about the two of them, she was gloomy.

Come tomorrow, everyone will ridicule and take pity on her.

They will say that she is an abandoned bride.

She will be chopped up and dug everywhere, like a fish on a chopping board.

She felt something hot in her throat, but she tried to maintain her calm gaze.

Even if he didn't have affection for her, she was resentful of Theon for rejecting her even on a day like this.

At the very least, he shouldn't humiliate her. A bitter smile appeared on Ariel's lips.

She tried not to look weak in the eyes of the boutique staff, who were always glancing at her.

She smiled nonstop as if she didn't care, which made her face spasm.

Rattle, rattle.

The carriage, which had been making a loud noise, was slowing down as it reached its destination.

The subordinates, who came out the door to meet their master, came into Ariel's sight.

"Did everything go well?"

Ariel's eyelashes, which were facing downwards, slowly rose at the sound of the man's calm voice.

The man who asked the question stretched out his hand towards Ariel as if he were familiar with it.

"Not at all. It didn't go well."

Ariel, who was coming down from the carriage with the man's help, said with a frown.

"Oh my. Who dared make our Princess feel uncomfortable?"

Even though more than half of his face was covered with his hair, the man's handsome appearance could not be hidden.

His savage appearance did not blend with Ariel at all, but it didn't seem like that was the relationship between the two.
