"Let's go home, hmph!"
Hathaway and the other two didn't linger and chose to leave the palace immediately.
As for Fang Yuan's special abilities, she didn't tell them.
After receiving his new title, Fang Yuan still wrote a letter to Theodore.
Because her maternal grandfather's family lived here, she has been living here ever since.
Two months after Fang Yuan left, Theodore Ruby received a letter from the palace.
"Your Highness, a letter from His Majesty the Emperor."
In the prince's castle, a servant presented a letter to Theodore Ruby.
"Let me see this quickly!"
Theodore took the letter, opened it, and his face lit up with joy upon seeing its contents:
"That's great! Shall we get engaged at the end of the year?"
The above content indicates approval of his engagement to Fang Yuan Zi Teng.
They also indicated that the event would be held at the Imperial Palace at the end of the year.
"Have someone make preparations, we're setting off back to the capital."
······
"My dear, His Majesty has issued a decree inviting you to the palace for the year-end banquet!"
Hathaway looked at the letter she received and happily said to Fang Yuan.
"Oh! My great-granddaughter is about to become the Princess Consort of the Empire. I am so happy and excited."
She held up the letter in her hand with an excited expression.
Although the Bauhinia Kingdom was not small, it was no match for the Empire.
Moreover, the empire had many kingdoms with fiefdoms like these, and some were quite remote, so they had never been taken seriously.
Unexpectedly, a princess consort appeared, and she might even become the future empress of the empire.
Good heavens! Let her have some time to recover.
"Great-grandmother, you are a princess, please don't exaggerate like that."
Fang Yuan stared speechlessly at his lively great-grandmother.
She strongly suspected that if the two of them went out together, people would assume that she was the elder.
"I'm nothing compared to you, my precious princess!"
As she spoke, she got up and pulled Fang Yuan to her dressing room:
"I'm going to dress you up nicely, and I'll also prepare your dowry."
In the days that followed, Hathaway, as a great-grandmother, took over the roles of both her mother and grandmother.
I prepared everything she needed before we went to the capital.
"You're also attending His Highness the Prince's engagement ceremony, right?"
After passing through several towns, Fang Yuan and his companions encountered nobles on their way to the capital for an engagement ceremony.
“Yes, are you too?” Hathaway smiled as she looked at the group.
Whenever she encountered a motorcade of aristocratic people heading to an engagement ceremony, she would try to chat with them.
If possible, she would like to travel with another team to keep her company.
However, her hope was extremely slim.
"That's right, but I don't think I've heard much about His Highness's fiancée. The Wisteria family..."
One of the women, dressed as a noblewoman, said.
Her words made Hathaway's expression turn cold, and she then retorted:
"Your Highness is willing to get engaged to that young lady, so she must have something charming about her."
"What's so special about her? I'd really like to know just how beautiful that woman is that His Highness the Prince would propose to her."
The woman was unhappy. She had originally planned to take her daughter to try out at the Imperial Banquet at the end of the year, but someone else had snatched the opportunity from His Highness the Prince.
Another woman glanced at the badge on Hathaway's carriage and felt it looked somewhat familiar.
"Excuse me, we are from the White Pearl family. May I ask which family you belong to?"
“I am Hathaway Bauhinia, the princess of the Bauhinia Kingdom. The Wisteria family you mentioned is my husband’s family, and His Highness the Prince’s fiancée is my great-granddaughter.”
"Greetings, you two. I am Fang Yuan Zi Teng!" Fang Yuan stepped down from the carriage and smiled at the two of them.
"Oh? I'm so sorry, sir! Our apologies!"
"·····"
They never expected that they would run into the person they were talking bad about.
Hathaway breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the change in their expressions.
"The surname Wisteria is indeed not well-known, but Fang Yuan Wisteria is a viscount of the Kingdom of Bauhinia and an earl of the Duchy of Roses. I wonder whose daughter can have two titles."
"So it's you, Earl. We apologize for our rudeness."
The two men, seeing the two badges symbolizing noble titles on Fang Yuan's body, quickly bowed.
"It's nothing. I heard that you two wanted to see me, so I came out to let you know."
She put on the insignia of her title after hearing the conversation.
"Alright, honey, we should go."
After seeing the unpleasant expressions on their faces, Hathaway then told Fang Yuan to return to the carriage.
As for the previous plans, they had long been forgotten.
"Alright, dear great-grandmother, don't be angry with them. They're just envious of me."
Along the way, Fang Yuan comforted the elder who was so childlike.
I've encountered this kind of discussion several times along the way, but because we're far apart, my great-grandmother didn't hear it.
But she had heard it all along, and she wouldn't have gone down this time if her great-grandmother hadn't overheard it.
"Hmph, these people are all bad. Remember the White Pearl family, and never help them breed elves in the future."
Hathaway thought for a moment and then gave her earnest advice.
She wanted to see who would suffer the consequences later.
"I understand, I will remember."
She remembered not only her own family, but also other families she had encountered before.
As they got closer to the Empire, they encountered more and more caravans heading to engagement parties.
Because of what had happened before, this great-grandmother would always go down and chat with her whenever they met.
Occasionally a few companies are quite nice, but most of the time I leave feeling very angry.
Then she went down to cooperate in slapping him in the face and wrote down his surname in a small notebook.
