Chapter 151: Second Arc (His Art of War) – 69. A Man Who Back From The Death

Second Arc (His Art of War) - 69. A Man Who Back From The Death

The morning sun above Ironwall City's sky was getting higher. In Scarlet Stone Castle, elegant white rose decorations with red carpet had been seen in the main hall. Today was a special day for the Kingdom of Zephyrus, because the engagement ceremony of Princess Rose Ambrosia Heart of Zephyrus with Prince Artheur Rayner Fallensoar of Draconis would be held soon.

Rose sat beside her bed, staring at a weapon case containing her beloved whip in her hands.
'I think this is a goodbye.' Her hand stroked the weapon that had accompanied her in the battle for so many years. She closed the box, put it in her side table and walked to the maids who were waiting for her.

With alacrity, the maids helped her to get ready, brushed her hair, dressed her up, made sure that everyone would be mesmerized by her appearance.
"Your Highness, I am sure His Highness will be enchanted by you today." The giggling sounds came out of the other maids' mouths.
"Yesterday the prince didn't even blink when he saw her."

Rose just replied to them with a faint smile on her lips. Her eyes stared at the large mirror in front of her blankly. It was supposed to be her happy day, but her face didn't show it.

A moment later, the knocking sounds accompanied by a familiar woman's voice came.
"Rose, may I come in?"

"Come in, Ivetta," she answered.

Ivetta entered the room and approached her.
"Look at you! You're so beautiful today!" Her excitement was clearly visible on her face.

She turned her gaze to Ivetta.
"Thank you," she said with a bitter smile.

Ivetta noticed her grim expression.
"It's been five years since that incident, do you still think about it?"

She looked down and fell silent.

Ivetta held Rose's hand tightly, this was her last day to act like a true good friend in front of Rose, so she would do her best.
"I know this engagement isn't your will, but now Zephyrus doesn't have much choice. Besides, Prince Artheur is a good man. There's never been any bad rumors about him."

She let out a weary sigh and looked to Ivetta.
"I know. It's just ... everything changed too fast." Only with Ivetta, Rose could complain. And soon she would go to Draconis, she would lose her precious friend.

Ivetta released her hand and looked down.
"No one would expect the Kingdom of Euphorion to start a war with another kingdom like this, they even succeeded conquering Asteria in just one month and made the King of Asteria bend his knees."
Hearing the words 'Asteria', Rose's mind drifted away as she remembered Angel, but she immediately disappeared her thoughts as she had already promised herself to forget about him soon.

"We don't know what happened between them and I also don't want to know about it. For me the most important thing is protecting Zephyrus." But despite trying to be strong, her sadness still seeped in her tone.

Other knocking sounds came accompanied by a voice from outside.
"Your Highness, the ceremony will start soon. Please head to the main hall immediately."

"I'll be there soon." She took a deep breath and turned her gaze at Ivetta with a forced smile.
"I think this is also our goodbye."

Ivetta answered with a nod and hugged her once more.
"Yes, this will be our goodbye," she said as an evil smirk emerged on her lips, since Duke Bartlet had brought his troops to infiltrate the castle and waited for her signal to attack.
