Sacrificial Bride Royal Treasury

Esther was back to her room with all the books she might need for the exam. She spread the map on her bed and looked at the three empires.

The world she lives was divided in 3 Empires. 1. SilverCrest Empire 2. ElderReach Empire 3. Emberhelm Empire The three empires maintained peace and tranquility with each other. Whenever there were any issues, the empires extended their helping hand. But it was all a beautiful illusion created by the royal families. Deep down, all empire wanted to control and capture other empires. It continued for generations.

In current era, the peace and tranquility was maintaining. All empires had a sensible Emperor and Empress who wanted to maintain the peaceful friendship between them. If she wanted to be invincible, she needs to have influence on all 3 Empires. The only option was to invest in the Empire's income source businesses. And to step into the market.

( 'L'éclat et la vie' boutique is popular amongst all empires. They have stores in every empire, so it will be good if I invest in the boutique. Mhm.. I can ask for Ava regarding this.)

Esther De Geire (Fl)/Princess

*looking at a certain area* (This area is good for farming. If I grow flowering plants and medicinal herbs it will benefit me. I can open a perfume store and a medicinal manor to supply the herbs.)

Esther De Geire (Fl)/Princess

*takes out her study books and starts reading them*

Esther De Geire (Fl)/Princess

(The content looks a bit easy, but I need to practice more. Scholar Summit is not an easy exam. I am slow witted, it will be difficult for me to grasp properly.)

Esther De Geire (Fl)/Princess

*bites lip and shakes head* (No Esther. You can't negative. Focus and study hard.)

Esther continued revising from her books. Few minutes later, she heard knock on her door. Esther got up and opened the door. Sierra and Suzy were standing at the entrance of room. She asked the to come in.

Esther De Geire (Fl)/Princess

*looks at Sierra and ignores Suzy* Elder sis, why are you here? Do you need something?

Suzy De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

*angry because she is not paying attention to her*

Sierra De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

*smiles* Esther, The annual ball will be held in few days. Do you wish to come?? You always rejected the invitation. *gives invitation*

Sierra De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

What about this time??

Suzy De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

*looks at her and rolls eyes* Big sis, you need to socialize with our people. You can't hide always. As a Princess of SilverCrest Empire, it's our duty to maintain good relations with our subjects. But you-

Esther De Geire (Fl)/Princess

*ignoring her*

Sierra De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

*in stern voice* Suzy, don't be rude.

Suzy De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

*pouts* I was just mentioning truth. (Why do you get angry on me? I am your little sister, you all need to pamper me. But it's always Esther you care about. Why??)

Suzy De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

(I hate you, Esther for stealing my elder sister from me)

Esther De Geire (Fl)/Princess

*opens the envelope and looks at the invitation* Fine. I will come.

Sierra De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

*smiles and pats her* Good

Suzy De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

*angry* (I want pat too)

Suzy De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

That's good big sis. At least you agreed this time. *smiles*

Esther De Geire (Fl)/Princess

*about to say something to Sierra*

Suzy De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

*looks at Sierra and holds her arm* Elder sis, I have something to show you. Can we go please?? You will be busy later.

Sierra De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

*smiles* Sure Suzy.

Suzy De Geire/Fl's sis/Princess

*leaves with Sierra* (I won't let you occupy her time. I will spend time with Elder sis.)

Esther De Geire (Fl)/Princess

(Ugh!! What a nuisance!)

Esther De Geire (Fl)/Princess

*throws the invitation letter in trash can*

Esther left her room, and went to the left side of castle which was reserved for royal treasury and it's account. She increased her pace and stood in front of a room. She knocked it and went inside. A person in his fifties was sitting on a chair. His eyes were fixed on the book in front of him. There was a tea cup near him. His hands were busy writing. Esther coughed. The man looked at her and noticed her presence.

Oliver De Geire/Fl's dad/Emperor

We need it for our people to support them with their issues and the mysterious disease. (It's all happening because of you jinx... Ughh .... My day will be ruined now) 💢

Esther De Geire (Fl)/Princess

Mr. Ruth: But emperor-

Oliver De Geire/Fl's dad/Emperor
