A week later, Cinderella, who was jogging in the backyard, was caught by the butler Mopo and taken to the Duke's mansion to play in front of her fiancé, Alpha, officially and properly.
Cindyrella looked at Alpha, who had changed his bowtie but still looked the same, with a displeased expression on his face.
"Why are you here again?"
Alfa stared dumbfoundedly at Cinderella, who was wearing a short top and shorts, her face flushed and panting heavily.
"Tinkerella, are you not welcoming me?"
"Yeah."
Xianti Rui immediately retorted and plopped down in front of Alpha, incessantly fanning her face with both hands. "It's so hot."
Alfa was completely taken aback by Xian Dituila's quick and unwavering rejection. He was momentarily stunned but quickly burst into laughter.
"Cinderella, you are truly interesting."
No one has ever dared to refuse him before, but Xian Dila is the first person to have refused him so many times...
As for Alpha's words, Xian Tirilla rolled her eyes speechlessly, no longer bothering to pay attention to Alpha.
The Duke of Mopok, accompanied by a maid, brought a platter of fruit and pastries, pouring red tea for the two of them. Cinderella couldn't help but salivate at the sight of the desserts.
Not hungry if I don't look, but I get hungry as soon as I do...
Alpha elegantly lifted his hand and took a sip of tea, looking across at Cinderella whose eyes went wide with delight at the sight of the dessert. He inquired, "Don't you eat, Cinderella?"
Alpha's question immediately awakened Cindyrella, and she quickly shook her head.
"I won't eat!"
Eating one piece of it doesn't necessarily mean running seven or eight laps will get rid of it, damn it.
"Lily, leave two pieces of pastry for him, and remove the rest."
"But...," Lily looked at the young master in surprise and glanced upwards at Alpha, who was unusually bowing his head without any movement.
"What's going on? Why are we withdrawing the pastries?" Alpha asked in confusion.
"Because I'm on a diet!"
"Eh! I didn't expect that. Alpha smiled with a cute face."
And Cinderella, by Alpha's words, was suddenly stabbed in the heart.
What do you mean, you didn't notice! I won't eat dinner anymore!
"Lily!" Xian Di Rui La gnashed her teeth and called out, her voice strained.
Lily trembled and lowered her head even further.
Alpha looked at the person opposite, a Fairy Cinderella with the expression he wanted. He felt extremely happy in his heart and reached out to take a piece of pastry and put it on a small plate. "Step down."
Lily finally breathed a sigh of relief and removed all the pastries from the table.
Seeing the pastries being taken away, Xian Ditera pouted and caressed her stomach, pretending to be dead as she laid on the table.
"What are you here for?" If he had come specifically to humiliate him, he would chase this brat away right now, regardless of whether he was the Second Prince or not.
"Come have some fun with you." Alpha replied with a smile.
"I'm not in the mood to play, I'm on a diet," Xian Tirila rolled her eyes.
"Um... why does Xian De Lila want to lose weight?" Alpha was puzzled.
"You're so foolish." Cindyrella rolled her eyes grumpily. "Losing weight is obviously for the sake of a healthy body." This wretched body, gasping for breath after taking just a few steps, makes me feel like a seventy or eighty-year-old lady. If I accidentally get banished by you in the future, I won't be able to survive."
"Oh~" Alpha nodded knowingly, with a smile that brimmed with innocence. "Now I won't trip while running, that's great."
Puff! Another sword plunged directly into Xian Diterilla's heart.
This little brat is definitely doing this on purpose! Stirring up trouble wherever he goes.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm working hard to avoid hitting my head, so Prince, please leave," Cinderella weakly shooed him away.
"No worries, I finished today's classes ahead of time yesterday just to come and find Cinderella." Alpha still had a cute and dazzling smile.
Ah... But I don't want to be found by you, you Alpha dog.
"The young master, yes, is actually very happy about the arrival of Prince Alpha," Butler Mobo said, raising one hand in front of his chest. He elegantly poured tea for Alpha, while Cinderella, who heard Butler Mobo's voice, silently rolled her eyes and picked up her face stuck to the table. She crossed her legs obediently and stared at Alpha across from her with a dead fish expression in her eyes.
Last week, because he impulsively grabbed onto the Alpha Diamond Rose Hedge, after Alpha left, Butler Mobo spent a whole afternoon instructing him in etiquette. The clichéd rules, the non-stop etiquette, made Xian Di Rui La have a nightmare that night. In the dream, she was a concubine learning etiquette in a palace drama. Whenever she made a mistake, dozens of court ladies would come forward to needle her, truly horrifying.
However, what Mr. Mo Bo, the Butler, said is also correct. He is the eldest young master of the Macka Family, so it is best to show some etiquette when dealing with the royal family. After all, this is not the prosperous, democratic, civilized, and legal China, but a country in Central Europe where if the King is unhappy, he can exile not only himself but also his father and all those with the surname Macka.
"Oh, really?" Alpha's eyes immediately lit up, happily looking at Morbach and then shifting his gaze to Xian Di Rui La, still sparkling.
And Cinderella, who was being looked at squarely by Alpha, didn't think so in her heart.
Why are you looking at me like that? It's not like I was the one who said it. Don't think that just because you're cute, I'll forgive the fact that you grew up to be a scumbag.
"Yes." Butler Mo Bo's face remained calm as he continued, "The young master has also prepared many games and wishes to play with His Royal Highness the Prince."
What? What game? How come I don't know about it? I've been running and trying to lose weight all day today! Xian Tila seems surprised and horrified.
However, when Alpha heard Butler Mobo's words, his eyes lit up as he looked at Cendrilla.
His radiance made it impossible for anyone to refuse.
Cinderella prepared a game for me!
"What kind of game does Cinderella want to play with me?" Alpha couldn't help but lean forward, his face full of anticipation.
Cinderella looked at Alpha's expectant face, silently averted her gaze towards the butler Mobo standing by her side. However, the butler Mobo had a gentle smile on his face, without any flaws.
Hey, speak up! It's not about playing games, hey! Don't pretend to be dead at this time, I am the young master of your family, okay, hey!
Is it really okay to be so terrible to your teammates...
"Centella, what kind of game did you actually prepare?" Alpha asked, pursuing the question.
"What kind of game did you prepare... I had no idea you were coming, you know? If I knew you were coming, I would have caught a cold from jumping into the pool yesterday."
Cinderella watched as Alpha slowly tilted his head back, tilting it to an extent where he couldn't tilt it any further. He looked at Lily, who had her head lowered, and their eyes met. Lily smiled gently at Cinderella.
Why are you laughing? All of them are useless teammates!
Well... it looks like I have to come up with a game myself.
Cinderella sighed and turned her head back to look at Alpha.
"Have you... Prince Alpha, ever played poker?"
"Poker cards?" Xian Tirila tilted her head in confusion, a question mark appearing once again on her forehead.
Very well, it seems they don't know.
"Lily, you go..." Xian Di Rui La turned around and looked at Lily, who had the same puzzled expression. Her words paused midway, before taking a turn. "...Go to the study and bring several sheets of blank paper, as well as a pen and scissors."
Poker cards were not invented during the Middle Ages in Europe, right? He even thought it was because Alpha, being a prince, had never come into contact with it...
Uh... Wait, no, this must be a game world. How can there be playing cards here, damn it.
