Chapter 924 Alexander's Consort- Camelia
?*Creak*.... Bang!
As Alexander was in the midst of swearing all the Tibian nobles in, suddenly the huge heavy main doors of the royal court swung open with a forceful push and through it hurriedly entered a lith, petite figure with swift steps, dressed in regal, party attire.
Her abrupt appearance instantly caused many heads to turn and curious looks to dawn, as the court's attention was momentarily whisked away with the desire who this intruder was.
Because no one was supposed to be this late.
And no one was certainly supposed to intrude on Alexander while he was swearing the nobles in.
Thus even Alexander was curious to know the identity of the interloper.
He did not have to wait too long to figure it out either, as the figure covered the long aisle distance in the blink of an eye, before getting close enough for Alexander to properly see.
The lady, or perhaps more appropriately girl in front of Alexander, appeared to be around thirteen or fourteen, dressed luxuriously from head to toe in a blue and silver gown, with matching sapphire necklaces, bangles, and earrings.
Possessing a slender, nimble figure housed in a short stature, her round face still had a bit of baby fat, right around her cheeks and her body radiated a youthfulness aroma.
This was the sixth and youngest princess of Tibias- Camelia, and fated to be Alexander's mistress.
And once she was close enough, the young girl greeted Alexander with a graceful bow,
"Your Lordship, I'm terribly sorry for the delay. I was feeling a bit tired and overslept. Apologies!"
However, in much contrast to the words she addressed towards Alexander, her tone was actually light and jovial.
If she was truly sorry, she was not showing it.
But that was not the reason why everyone was looking at her right now.
At least not with those kinds of curious eyes.
Instead, by now most of those gazes had turned from inquisitive to shocked and even horrified, with many crying out in stunned astonishment,
"*Hisss* Has she gone insane? Humiliating the pasha like that! What has happened to the royal family?" Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
"Tsk! Right! It really has down the drain. A family that can't even control its own daughters! No wonder they lost the war!"
"Stupid girl! What does she mean to accomplish with this?"
"*Sigh*, I always told Queen Parthia spoiled this girl too much."
"Abomination! Absolute Abomination."
"Filth! Utter filth!"
Such and many similar hushed whispers of curses and cusses started to waft through the air the moment everyone got to get a good look at the princess, and the reason was surprisingly mundane.
It was because the girl had appeared here with her hair cut short!
But if you thought that that was going to make Camelia regret her decision, then you would be sorely wrong.
Because instead of pleading for help or apologizing, Alexander keenly noticed the young princess's thin, bloodied lips actually curved into a triumphant smile.
It was like she wanted this.
To be beaten and humiliated in front of the whole court.
Because if she was to be humiliated, it meant her master, Alexander was also humiliated.
And since Alexander could detect this smile from all the way back there, could how Philips, who was so much closer to her miss it?
It was a sight that incensed the usually cool tempered man to heights few had ever seen, as Philips cursed his stupid sister for wasting all his goodwill.
'Father really has spoilt her rotten!'
And thus could not help but raise his hands again, intending to truly knock her consciousness this time, as he roared, "You ungrateful wretch! You wish to ruin us...."
"That's enough Philips! Step back!" However Philips never got to carry out his strategy, as right when he was about to start Round 2, this cool, clear command rang right behind his ear.
Alexander had decided to intervene!
And it was a thought that terrified Philips, fearing that if the girl were to land in that man's palm, her fate could be very miserable.
Thus like a switch had been flipped, Philips's anger suddenly disappeared like darkness disappears upon touching light, and got replaced by fear and pleading, as the man kneeled and groveled in a pitched voice,
"Esteemed Pasha. My sister is dumb and stupid. I beg you not to be offended. We will punish her appropriately in our family court. And we will surely adequately compensate you for this incident."
The man seemed on the verge of crying.
Despite all this, it was very apparent he loved his sister very much.
"Hahaha, Philips you are thinking about this all wrong. I'm not offended."
However much contrary to Philips's fears, Alexander's reply actually sounded light, even a bit bemused as evidenced by the chuckle of an answer.
Which to Philips, although sounded very positive, was also something that caught the man off guard.
Whatever reaction he had been expecting it was not this, because it seemed too easy.
But before Philips could figure out what was really on, he quickly heard the young pasha on the throne lightly pronounce with a smile,
"I'm sure Princess Camelia is just a free spirit who wished to try a new hairstyle, hoping to impress me. She must be very excited about her union with me and thus this surprise, hahaha."
Alexander seemed very pleased with this made up excuse, as he then turned to look at the lady, and found her to be staring at him expressionlessly with a pool of dark, onyx eyes like he was her hated enemy.
"Camelia. I must say, your look is different from anything I have in my harem. I like it." And Alexander was happy to pour oil on it.
Let us say no to piracy! Don't take part in a crime! Don't patronize thieves!
