Lady Regina could hear the conversation between lady Bridget and Ann conversation she did not know when Ann learn to be so good with words. She was so upset with the way most of the noblewomen tried to get close to her.


    Even those who were speaking to her, before the arrival of Ann all look for excuses to leave and go over to Ann.


    Ever since she gave birth to prince William and princess Ema, she never thought that a day would come when she would be looked down on.


    If only her brother has not acted out of place the last time he was in the Palace then she would still have them to rely on. " No, Richard has to disappear. If he was not in existence then my life would have not turned into this," Lady Regina thought.


    She was right, even if the king had picked up a new wife and dump her the way he did, not one would have dared to ignore her. After all her son was the next king.


    " mother let just leave this place, we will have time to deal with the Zorander for their treatment this time," princess Ema said when she noticed how she and her mother has been ignored.


    "No, if we leave now we will become the Joke of the bouquet. Do you think any noble will still support your brother if we act like cowards?" Lady Regina asked.


    Princess Ema pause and thought about what her mother said. "you are right," she nodded at her mother''s words becoming determined.


    Lady Regina nodded her head in satisfaction. Just then her eyes caught Jane who was chatting with a noble lord. Her parents were not standing far away. Lady Regina was satisfied seeing Jane doing this. She felt proud of her decision of picking Jane as Prince William''s wife.


    "Are you sure she is a maid? She looks like someone born into nobility," lady Amenll asked lady Bridget after Ann walked away from her.


    "I have been asking myself the same thing. The last time she visited I was surprised. One moment she acts like a maid and the next she switches. She seems to be used to changing her personality like eating and drinking," lady Bridget answer.


    "She must have some kind of secret identity," lady Amenll said after a short pause.


    "Who knows, she treate my nephew well and that all that matters to me. Even if she is indeed just a maid, she does not act like a caught throat," lady Bridget said.


    "That is right, some people have received the best of education but still act like none human. The world is big enough for everyone but they act selfishly," lady Amnell said.


    "Let''s not waste our time talking about people that should not be counted among women. It''s about time Jeffery makes an appearance," lady Bridget said and pulled lady Amnell with her.


    A few of the noblewomen had already surrounded Ann. Since she was now the Queen they will definitely want to be in her good book. Moreover, some of them had daughters, and since Ann was the one that raised Richard they belive the prince will listen to her.


    Princess Ellen was in the midst of Rose and Danny. Rose is her cousin and Danny was soon to be her sister-in-law.


    "I heard Avalo is very beautiful. Among all the twelve kingdoms Avalo seems to be most blessed,"  Danny said.


    "Avalo is indeed beautiful, but I have not had the time to look around," princess Ellen replied honestly.


    "Wow, I wish I have had the opportunity to his Avalo, it is quite unfortunate that father will not hear a word of it," Danny said.


    "Well if you really want to visit you can come over in two days. My husband will be crowned the king in four days. Since Avalo and Bozoa are on good terms. I am certain an invitation will be sent. Father will not be able to attend so you can come with my brother. Your father already accepted the engagement gift. Everything should be fine.


    When Danny heard this she was really excited. " you are not lying to me right?" She asked.


    "Yes, your husband was still here two days back. How did he manage to take over the kingdom in less than a day?" Rose asked.


    "I honestly do not know, Jeffery just told me about it this afternoon," princess Ellen replied.


    "Well, in that case, can I come over too?" Rose asked.


    "I am not sure, why not ask your brother. He knows better than me," princess Ellen replied. Rose was about to say something when they heard a spoon making contact with the cup.


    "I feel very honored that many of you have honored my invitation and came all the way to celebrate with my family. To be honest, I never thought I will get to see my son again in this lifetime, but the gods have given me such a gift," Lawrence said.


    Jeffrey stood beside Lawrence and lady Bridget. Since his face had to remain hidden. Lady Bridget has especially picked an outfit and a mask to cover his face.


    When the people first looked at him, they felt he looked very handsome but why does he have his face covered.


    "Maybe he has a scar, after all, he was missing during the war," one person guess.


    "You are right,  I heard he is a guard to the crown prince of Avalo," another joined in.


    "It sure a waste. A young man like himself has lost his face," a young lady said.


    "I heard his mother is hoping to pick a wife for him," another lady said.


    "Really! Although he has an outstanding background but I can never be interested in a commoner guard. He may have the blood of the Zorander but he was not raised by them," the First Lady said.


    "That''s true," the second lady who mansion the marriage said. Although she sounded like she was uninterested but in her heart, she was happy that the other ladies were uninterested. It did not matter if he has been living the worse life there is, now that he has returned to his family his future will be bright.


    "Not just that his face is also scar he must be very scary to look at," the first young lady said. She was deliberately sounding uninterested and making the rest belive that it was a bad idea to marry a man like Jeffery. After all, when the time comes and she is the only noble lady that steps forward to marry Jeffery, lady Bridget will have no choice but pick her.


    What she did not know was that the other ladies have similar thoughts. They were each trying to discourage the other.


    What they all did not know was that princess Ellen, Danny, and Rose were not standing too far from them, so they could hear them


    "Who do they think they are, my mother, will never choose coconut head like them," Rose said angrily. She hated the way they were talking about her brother.


    She was scared that if her brother heard them, he might feel like his presence is a stain on the family. " Why are you getting angry, Aunty will surely not invite ignorant fools like them. Back in Bozoa, Jeffery is well repeated, after all, he is the right-hand man of my husband.," Princess Ellen said. Her voice was not low when she said words. She naturally wanted those coconut ladies to hear her words.


    As expected, they did and turned around to look at who was talking. When they saw it was princess Ellen they did not know what to make out of it.


    Then their eyes caught sight of Rose and they felt bitter. Rose is the sister to Jeffery and there was no way she would allow any of them close to her brother after hearing what they said.


    "That is right, brother already said he will pick his wife by himself. When the time comes you must help my brother not to get fooled," Rose replied.


    "You do not have to ask. How will I ever allow my cousin to get fooled?" princess Ellen reply.


    Nott just the ladies who were gossiping, even a few people close by also heard the princess''s words. The men naturally knew about the crown prince of Avalo''s right-hand man. His fighting skill was very impressive. It turns out that the young man was Jeffery.


    "No wonder he hides his face. I heard that because of the crown prince''s appearance all the men close to him also have to hide their face," one nobleman said.


    "where did you hear such a thing? The noble man''s friend asked him.


    " I heard it during the war, why else will Jeffrey have his face covered even in a day like this, " the nobleman replied.


    " It makes sense, but Jeffrey may also be converting his face because it is not a pleasant sight. I am sure fighting as the right hand of the crown prince will not be easy, " the friend replied.


    All over the hall people were talking about Jeffery and guessing the reason he had a mask on his face. Lawrence took him round to meet most of the lords.


    Jeffrey followed behind obediently. He would smile and reply to every question that was asked. Since he was acting very friendly most of the men were pleased. They even tried to match him with their daughters but he rejected them politically. No one dared to speak out of place not because they were afraid of Lawrence but because they feared that even if he was just a guard to the prince of Avalo, his skills could not be underestimated.


    Moreover, princess Ellen already confirms that he was the prince''s, right-hand man.. Whoever has heard of the prince, knew that he treated his men better than his brothers.
