Chapter 74 - Fated (1/2)

Anne walked around the roads of the famous Tourist Spot of the Kingdom of Dulein. The houses and the streets were adorned with big sparkling letters luring the poor customers' souls to a spree of consumerism. Maybe they will regret it when they arrive at their homes with the countless beautiful dog clothes and the many couple shirts with ridiculous patterns.

Yes, the streets of Dulein were filled with clients and sellers, clients and sellers, things to buy, things to eat, places to enjoy the view, places to eat with friends, and some other places to share in couple. However, even if Anne was getting many things for free and was recognized in almost every shop, the enthusiasm was getting out of control.​​

”May I have an autograph, my lady?”

”Could I be bold to ask you to sign this book for me, my Princess?”

”I am your biggest fan, please, my lady, just one handshake, and I will soar to the skies and live happily forever after.”

”Name my kid, please, my Princess.”

Some strange fans and some extremist fans kept popping out the whole ten steps, the most outstanding Princess of Lith came out from her carriage.

”I want vacations,” Anne returned to the castle with a tired face and countless gifts in the carriage. It is not that she didn't enjoy fame, she was hella used to it, however, she had planned a full weekend with her dear friends at the festival, then into the many shows, and finally to sneak inside the casino to cheat some losers like the Wizard of Lith.

However, nothing came as planned and the many stalkers/ fans getting ready to ask her for an autograph and signatures were making her cry. Their over-enthusiastic shows of appreciation were a bit troublesome when she only wanted a relaxing moment with Henry under the lights of the streets and the peaceful roads.

”Princess Anne, we love you!”

”Please wave your hand!”

”Princess Anne!”

The many shouts coming from the window were almost making the windows tremble, and the rumbling on the ground was making the cup of tea shake and threatening to fall.

”I… Henry, my love,” she took the hands of the young Henry, and with her big golden eyes, she said in all seriousness, ”I don't think I will survive tonight, they want me, my dear. I will be eaten by those hungry creations of nature that want more than a smile, they… they want me to laugh happily. I don't understand. My dear, I am scared.”

”…” Henry couldn't help but almost smack his face. He looked at the window and walked to the balcony.

However, a hand stopped him, ”what are you doing, my dear?”

”Saving you.”

”No, you can't sacrifice yourself,” she gripped his hand with strength and pulled him towards her. ”I can't let you do that.”

”I am sorry, my darling,” he hugged and kissed her on her forehead, ”but this is the only way, only with this, we will be safe.”

”No, please, this is too much,” she pulled his coat and he raised her chin to look at him. ”My bride, wait for me.”

He said that and as if in a stop motion movement, he rushed to the window and opened the curtain to make the world see his face.

”Kya!!”

The many girls and young women that looked at the young man showing that beautiful smile fainted from the strong impact. The many medics that had to be called to the entrance of the residence of the Princess and her friends almost reached the dozens.

”Henry!”

Princess Anne pulled him back as the shining smile effect died out. ”Are you okay, my bride?”

Anne made him rest on the couch as she sat on his ŀȧp.

”I am okay,” but she was pouting.

This time she couldn't take it anymore. To make her darling take such a step and sacrifice his looks for a bit of peace was something she couldn't tolerate anymore. This time, this called for the next part of the plans.

This time the evil Princess will make her debut in foreign lands.

Meanwhile, in the casino of the Great Dulein Mall…

”Sir, we have to ask you to accompany us to the exit.”

Two bulky men in black robes and expressionless faces were standing side by side Wizard Druon. Well, many had already reported how the man was cheating in every game and every table, and he was doing it with a big smile on his face. Not feeling any kind of remorse.
