Chapter 127
"Your highness prince Claus, can you grant an audience to my family's young miss?" The old butler asked .
I wrinkled my brows . With a serious tone, I asked . "Alice?"
"So your highness remembers my young miss . It's an honor . "
I scoffed inwardly . It would be strange if I don't remember someone like her .
Beside me, Lena frowned displeased . "Who is it now? Always interrupting my time with brother . . . "
"An old acquittance . " I smiled wryly and explained Alice's background .
When she heard my explanation, Lena's first reaction was to shot me a suspicious look .
"Another woman?"
Little sister, your brother swears that I'm innocent this time .
I ignored Lena's gaze and spoke towards the butler in a sarcastic tone . "Do I need to follow you today too?"
However, the butler feigned not to understand the meaning behind my words and bowed apologetically . "I'm sorry, but my young miss is a bit sickly so she is unable to show the prince due respect?"
I snorted . Do you think I did not realize you are trying to take down a notch?
However, it shows Alice's inexperience . Showing off her arrogance will only make others warier of her .
Normally, I would not have bothered with it and I would have followed the butler, after all, I don't care very much about formalities and things like that, however, I'm a bit displeased with Alice today .
Putting on a cold look on my face, I opened my lips . "Tell your young miss that I will wait five minutes for her . If she doesn't come before then, then we don't need to talk . "

"… I understand . " The butler replied indifferently, not at all bothered by my attitude .
As I expected, less than three minutes later Alice appeared before me followed by the butler and the knight girl that always accompanies her .
"Long time no see you, Prince Claus . " Alice curtsied politely and showed a weak smile .
"Miss Alice is as beautiful as always . " I replied with a small smile and invited her inside the carriage . Alice agreed with a smile and entered with the butler and the knight . I did not bother to stop her two followers from entering .
Once she was inside, she bowed towards Lena respectfully . "It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Lena . "
"Hmph!" Lena snorted and looked away . Despite it, Alice kept her respectful smile .
Once she was done with the formalities, Alice looked at me . "Will Princess Lena heard our conversation?"
I replied with a smile . Before Lena could react, I touched her forehead and induced her to sleep .
"Bro… ther?"
Holding Lena's small body on my arms, I put her on my lap and stroked her head gently .
"Prince Claus sure loves the princess . " Alice giggled .
"Please stop with your games, Alice . Go straight to the point . "
"Okay okay, so serious . " Alice giggled again and pouted . "It looks like the prince is dissatisfied with me . "
"You know the reason . "
"… So I was discovered, huh . But it helped me to confirm that you are not simple, prince . " Alice chuckled, not the slightest embarrassed that I saw through her plot .
I remained silent and refused to answer .
Seeing my expression, Alice put a finger on her lips . "I'm curious though . What gave me away? I'm sure I don't leave any trace behind… Could it be, are your eyes like mine? Perhaps that is the reason you can fool my eyes . "
"You are mistaken, I'm not a seer . " I replied . "However, I have seen someone like you before . "
Alice was startled . "Another seer? Does that seer taught you to hide from our eyes?"
"You can say that I learned how so I could hide from her . "
"How interesting . Hey prince, can I meet her?"
"I don't think so . " I shook my head and looked right into Alice's clear eyes . "Alice, go straight to the point . If not, we will end this conversation here . "
"How impatient . " Alice pouted and raised her hands with a helpless expression . "Okay okay, I'll talk . Prince, what do you think about joining hands with me?"
"…"
"Think about it . " Continued Alice . "With my abilities and your talent, I'm sure we can surpass everybody in this world . Can't you see it? We two can conquer the world! Nobody will be able to stop us!"
"… So it came to it huh . " I heaved a tired sigh . Seers are always like this .
Seeing my expression, Alice misunderstood . "You don't like it? Or maybe you don't trust me? I don't mind marrying you if it allows you to trust me . In fact, you are the only male I have met that I consider worthy of marrying me . "
I fell silent for a moment . Perhaps, five hundred lifetimes ago this offer would have been enticing . But for me now, this is nothing more than a joke .
"… You are the same as her, Alice . "
