Two-Faced Princess

alace to help a member of the royal family unless it’s a wedding.”

Unless she asked her to do it in Eileen Idena’s name, a sky-high star would have to summon the madame for her help during such social events.

It was a miracle that Uriel was able to coax her once.

“Isn’t this a good opportunity to get rid of my image as a commoner knight?”

Apollonia’s eyes went round when she witnessed Uriel smile at Madame Jensen, who was enamored by his good looks.

“It’s practice, Your Highness.”

Her eyes widened in surprise.

’

“What?”

“I’m practicing to be liked.
Of course, my respect for Madame Jensen is not a joke.
I want to satisfy you, Your Highness.”

Apollonia was absent-minded for a moment when she remembered what she had said a while ago.

“Is it because of what I said? You don’t have to do it right now.”

“I have a request,” Uriel said, making Apollonia blush for he looked exceptionally bright in the sun.

“Ask me anything,” Apollonia answered unknowingly.

“Please spend the whole day with me.
Please go where I want to go, and do what you want to do with me.”

“The entire day?”

“Please.”

As Uriel spoke, he slowly took Apollonia’s right hand and kissed the back of it.

It wasn’t the first time he did it, but his careful reverence made Apollonia nervous for a moment.

“I need more practice to be liked.” Uriel looked up at Apollonia.

She could see that his eyes under the bright sunlight weren’t the usual dark blue but close to turquoise.

Uriel’s stares in the past weren’t this intense but now it felt strangely different.

The crinkles in his eyes when he smiled made them appear half-hooded and his low whispers sounded strangely seductive than usual.

Apollonia finally understood Madame Jensen’s countenance and behavior earlier.

Uriel seemed different from his younger self.

He would no longer blush every time someone complimented him about his good looks.

Aware of his reputation as the best swordsman on the continent, he also recognized his superior appearance with accuracy and knew how to use it according to his will.

“Then, let’s do it.
I’ll help you practice.” Apollonia replied.

Half of her couldn’t refuse his request and the other half was interested in the experience.

The corners of Uriel’s red lips rose in a pretty arc.

Apollonia must have not noticed it just yet but Uriel had changed a lot in five years during their separation.
