Royal Secret: I'm A Princess!

Chapter 994: TINY FAVOR

"WHY ARE you so worked up, Princess Neoma? As far as I know, you've already chosen Commander Ruto over Trevor Kesser."

"You're wrong," Neoma denied bluntly. "I never "chose" Ruto over Trevor because, in the first place, it has always been only him. Don't make it sound like I let men fight over me. I was never a fan of the harem trope, duh."

Regina looked at Neoma as if she didn't understand her. "You have a weird taste, Princess Neoma."

"Excuse me?"

"I understand why you never considered a coward like Rubin Drayton a suitable partner. But, if you ask me, Trevor Kesser is a better choice than Commander Ruto. For once, Trevor Kesser is more handsome than the commander." Check back at m-v le-mpyr for more

"Well, objectively, you may be right. But only Ruto's face heals my heart."

"So damn cheesy."

"Shut up."

"Physical appearance aside, I think Trevor Kesser is more fun to be with," Regina continued. "Commander Ruto seems to be the boring type."

Neoma smirked arrogantly. "Ruto only seems boring to you because my man isn't interested in you at all. Plus, we're the perfect match. I'm OA and he's nonchalant. And, because my man is always calm, he has stopped me from going on a rampage many, many times. If it were Trevor, he would have supported my craziness instead of stopping me."

"So, you just want someone who can control you?"

"Why don't you just go straight to the point, Regina?"

"I'm just trying to have a small talk with you," Regina said, shrugging. "I know I'm being held as a prisoner of war right now. That means you can't kill me anyway."

"Oh, I can. Do you think I'm the type who cares about rules?"

"But you need me alive, don't you?"

Bitch.

"I know why you're here, Princess Neoma."

"Really now?"

"You're here to warn me not to mess with the Hazelden Kingdom and its Royal Family, aren't you?" Regina asked, laughing softly. "Don't worry, Your Imperial Highness. I won't do a thing while I'm here. Moreover, I don't think I'll be here for longer anyway. I'm sure Helstor will summon me soon."

"I'm sending Trevor here later," Neoma said sternly. "If you do anything funny while you're here, I'll ask him to kill you. I don't care about the rules."

"If Your Imperial Highness doesn't respect the rules of the war, then we'll have a big problem."

Tsk.

[Regina is being a smartass, but she's right.]

"I've already said my piece, so I'm leaving now," Neoma said, standing up. "Fuck around and find out, Regina Crowell."

"You and your vulgar words, Princess Neoma," Regina said, sipping her tea before speaking again. "I'll miss you."

Eww.

HMM?

Was it just Neoma or Aunt Brigitte's baby bump glowing a faint blackish light?

"I see it, too, Unnie!" Monik said cheerfully. "Our Baby Angel is surrounded by a black light!"

"It's not a bad light!" Skylus added excitedly. "It protects our baby sister!"

"I don't see anything!" Claude added while laughing. "But I'm happy that our baby sister is safe in Mommy's tummy!"

Pfft.

Neoma laughed softly while patting Claude's head gently.

[Claude is the most "normal" kid here, so I'm happy that he doesn't feel inferior towards his siblings. I hope he stays this way.]

"What does it mean, Princess Neoma?" Aunt Brigitte asked curiously while sitting on the sofa and rubbing her baby bump gently. "Do you see what the kids are seeing?"

"Uh-huh," Neoma said while nodding. "I believe your baby is going to be born with Darkness attribute, Auntie."

"Darkness attribute?" Aunt Brigitte asked but, this time, she was actually asking Uncle Glenn who was standing behind her. "Honey, do you have family members with Darkness attribute?"

"I believe my great grandfather was born with Darkness attribute, but it was weak," Uncle Glenn said. "My grandfather, father, and I didn't inherit it. But it seems like our youngest daughter did."

"Darkness attribute is rare, but I'm sure she'll grow up well," Neoma said, and then she turned to Monik, Skylus, and Claude who were all looking at her with sparkling eyes. "Kids, can you play outside for a moment? I have something important I need to discuss with your parents."

"Okay, Noona!"

"We'll just play next door, Unnie!"

"Bye, Noona!"

And, just like that, the three children bolted out of the drawing room.

Neoma felt it— she felt the shadow guards follow the little royals.

[The security here is tighter than normal since Regina is here.]

"Aunt Brigitte, Uncle Glenn," Neoma said in a serious tone. "While a war between me and Helstor will be taking place in the Upper World, we have a feeling that the crows will also wage war against the empire at the same time."

As soon as she mentioned 'war,' Aunt Brigitte and Uncle Glenn became serious.

"Do you suppose the crows will also attack Hazelden Kingdom, Princess Neoma?" Aunt Brigitte asked worriedly. "Is that why you're here?"

"The crows will be able to reach the empire faster if they invade Hazelden," Neoma said. "That's why I'm sending you allies to help you win the battle. I'm not underestimating your military power. I just want to protect your kingdom because you're all family to me."

The queen and king of the Hazelden Kingdom looked touched.

"We appreciate your help, Princess Neoma. Thank you very much," Glenn said in a sincere tone. "May we know who these allies are?"

"Before that, hear me first. I have a tiny favor," Neoma said, smiling because she needed to get the royal couple's permission for what she was about to request. "Can we blow up the Frozen Lake?"

"The Frozen Lake?" Aunt Brigitte asked, surprised. "As in the Hazelden Kingdom's national treasure?!"

Te-hee~

"YOUR IMPERIAL MAJESTY, you cannot leave the Imperial Palace when we know a war might break out any moment! What do you think will happen if the enemies realize that you're not in the palace?!"

Haaah.

[Melvin is overreacting again.]

If possible, Nero wouldn't consult Melvin each time he had a "crazy" plan he wanted to execute.

But that wasn't possible.

[Melvin is too useful for me to waste his talent.]

"The throne won't be empty while I'm away," Nero said casually. "Someone better than Neoma will be my proxy."

Now Melvin looked confused. "And who could "copy" you better than Princess Neoma, Your Imperial Majesty?"

"Myself."

And now Melvin looked like he wanted to strangle Nero because of his "nonsense" answer.

[This guy is really disrespectful towards me.]
