The Seventh Base

Chapter 685: Do you believe in the feelings between us?” Chapter 81

Royal Castle.

Elizabeth’s words quieted everyone down.

Princess Elizabeth was in love.

Everyone was shocked, including the princes and noble young masters who sought to court her. Though their hopes were slim, at least there had been a glimmer of hope — which Elizabeth’s announcement had now shattered.

Even King Richard and Prince Charles were stunned; they clearly had not expected Elizabeth to announce her own love affair.

As for Ize and Carter, they were completely dumbfounded.

When had Elizabeth fallen in love? And with whom?

Why did they not know about it?

They looked towards Elizabeth.

Elizabeth stood on the steps; today was her coming-of-age ceremony. Yet, she found herself the target of various suitors, and Prince Charles had been trying to fix her up with other noble young masters, while the Baloma Kingdom had even come to propose marriage directly.

All of this deeply repelled Elizabeth.

So, somewhat impulsively, she said those words. King Richard had just agreed that she could choose her own love, so there should be no problem with her announcing that she was in love, right?

Besides, it was a lie. She simply didn’t want to hear anyone else bring up her love life or marriage proposals, which she found utterly distasteful.

Guests outside the castle turned their gaze towards Elizabeth. As the most dazzling woman from Lucas Star, who was now at the tender age of twenty, she was at her most beautiful: youthful and lovely. Who could claim Elizabeth’s most radiant moments?

The media outside exploded into a frenzy. The gathered onlookers only realized what had happened upon hearing the chatter. It set off a huge wave of commotion and noise.

Princess Elizabeth was in love?

Who was the object of her affection?

Many young men were heartbroken; Princess Elizabeth was their goddess, and how could a goddess fall in love?

They felt as though they were the ones who had been ‘dumped’.

Which bastard had snatched away Princess Elizabeth!!

In the midst of the clamor, countless people discussed amongst themselves.

“Could it be some prince from another planet, or perhaps a noble?” someone said.

“Impossible, Princess Elizabeth has spent most of her time at school and there haven’t been any rumors of Miss Elizabeth dating anyone. It must be a secret romance.”

“Could it be a student from Lucas University?”

“I know… You all forgot about yesterday’s incident, didn’t you?”

Everyone was guessing who Princess Elizabeth’s romantic partner might be, and soon, they thought of one person — Princess Elizabeth’s Guardian Knight.

After all, that incident had happened just the day before, and it was still fresh in people’s minds, leading them to make the connection.

“It must be him, the Princess’s Guardian Knight.” The crowd discussed animatedly, suspecting that this was the most likely possibility. Only Princess Elizabeth’s Guardian Knight could be so constantly close to her, to develop a clandestine relationship. Moreover, he was so outstanding; it made perfect sense that the Princess referred to him as ‘sir’ and liked him.

They turned their gaze towards the castle.

Prince Nilo looked up at Elizabeth and asked, “Why have we not heard about Princess Elizabeth’s romance before?”

“Do I need to report my personal affairs to Prince of Baloma?” Elizabeth, looking down at Nilo from above, responded, “It seems Prince Nilo has forgotten about yesterday’s incident. Do you need me to remind you, Prince Nilo?”

Nilo’s face turned extremely awkward as the people outside promptly picked up on Elizabeth’s words.

Yesterday’s incident… it must be related.

“Since Princess has already fallen in love, it was presumptuous of us to impose. We extend our blessings to Princess Elizabeth,” the Baloma Kingdom’s Minister of Diplomacy said, “Today being the Princess’s birthday, we shall not intrude any further. We will revisit King Richard on another day to discuss the matter of cooperation. We take our leave.”

With those words, the delegation bowed and then turned to leave. As envoys, even if they would cause a scene, it would not be too extreme; the two great stars were not yet ready to utterly sever ties.

Yet many people were puzzled.

Cooperation?

What kind of cooperation was there between Lucas Star and the Baloma Kingdom?

King Richard frowned slightly, looking displeased. He glanced at the middle-aged man next to Douglas — the Minister of Defense — who appeared uneasy. He took a glance at the departing Balomans and cursed inwardly. These scoundrels had intentionally chosen Elizabeth’s birthday celebration to cause trouble.

Nilo’s incident was merely an episode in the birthday festivities. Most people were more interested in Princess Elizabeth’s love affair.

So, who was Princess Elizabeth’s lover?

“Princess Elizabeth, is it your Guardian Knight?” Outside the castle, many people shouted loudly, their voices actually reaching inside.

“Princess, who is he really? Is he in attendance at the banquet today? Could we have the honor of meeting him?” Another voice carried over.

The incident at Lucas University the day before had gained high attention.

Everyone was curious about the true identity of Elizabeth’s Guardian Knight.

Now that Elizabeth had acknowledged she was in love, their curiosity only deepened.

Upon hearing the voices, many people suddenly realized that Princess Elizabeth’s love interest was the Guardian Knight from the previous day.

“Elizabeth, won’t you introduce him to your father?” Beside her, King Richard also spoke in a low voice with a smile, “He should be here too, right?”

Elizabeth’s expression was odd — she’d merely stated she had a lover and never named anyone. Yet, it seemed that everyone had assumed it was ‘sir’!

If she didn’t name an actual person, she feared it would be hard to clarify. With this thought, Elizabeth didn’t deny it.
