Chapter - 4
Lillian Laurent
Well she is being courted by Lord Maverick.
Lillian Laurent
So I guess she won't be qualified.
Alice Frey
Behave yourself, Lillian.
Alice Frey
I apologize for her words.
Alice Frey
I'm sure she didn't mean it, lady Roosevelt.
Josephine Roosevelt
It's ok.
Josephine Roosevelt
She right.
Josephine Roosevelt
Being courted does mean you're already in the line of being proposed too and getting married.
Josephine Roosevelt
But it doesn't stop the fact the other are incline to court the same lady.
Josephine Roosevelt
Beside I'm not yet proposed too.
Josephine Roosevelt
So I can still be courted by other.
Josephine Roosevelt
And if I don't participate in the queen candidate selection, it will be an act of treason by my entire family.
Alice Frey
She has a point.
Josephine Roosevelt
But does anyone here truly know what the king is like?
Lillian Laurent
No we don't.
Alice Frey
We only know of what our parents and other officials say.
Lillian Laurent
They say that he's really cold.
Lillian Laurent
His piercing gaze will send shivers down your spime.
Lillian Laurent
Making you fear to utter the wrong thing.
Lillian Laurent
It is also said that he is cursed.
Josephine Roosevelt
And what kind of curse is it?
Alice Frey
Lillian, you know we can't talk about this.
Lillian Laurent
It's fine.
Lillian Laurent
It's just between us ladies.
I actually already know what the curse is from reading the novel, but I what to know more in details.
Lillian Laurent
It is said that his majesty was cursed as a child.
Lillian Laurent
After he was rescued from the Kier Kingdom.
Lillian Laurent
They cusred him so that he would be a blood thirsty maniac.
Alice Frey
Lillian be careful what you say.
What she said isn't wrong.
When the king was 8 years old, he was kidnapped by the Kier kingdom who has been our enemy kingdom for a long time.
He was used as leverage. And during his time there, they did many experiments on him. When he was finally rescued, he wasn't the same.
He was known to always being seen with blood on him.
People believed that he would murder someone every day to suppress his curse or even that killing would also be his curse.
But no one truly know what his curse is
And that is how he was given title "blood thirsty maniac".
Alice Frey
Miss Roosevelt?
Josephine Roosevelt
Ah... yes...
Alice Frey
You shouldn't pay no mind to Lillian's words.
Alice Frey
It's just baseless rumors.
In the novel, there was someone who helped him suppress his curse and even broke it eventually.
Many bad things happened to Josephine because she was way too obsessed with Leopold and did many terrible things to others for his sake.
But now that I've become her, I'll try to lead peaceful life and escape a horrible death.
Alice Frey
Enough talk about, his majesty.
Alice Frey
Let's all just enjoy the tea.

Alice Frey
Lady Roosevelt, I do appreciate you attending my tea party.

Alice Frey
Um... well at the the last social event, you humiliated someone for just greeting Lord Maverick.
Josephine Roosevelt
😒Aww... yea.. about that...
Josephine Roosevelt
I wasn't myself back then.
Josephine Roosevelt
And I sincerely apologize for any trouble I've caused any of the ladies that were here.
Alice Frey
I'll relay your message.
