After the ball, the entertainment was over. Next, the princes including Ivan Noreen had to prepare to deal with the "difficulties" from some princes and dukes.
It was nothing more than some issues concerning the rule and governance of the human race and the blood race. In recent days, their policies towards the human race have changed greatly. Most of the collateral princes and marquises were very unhappy when they heard about it, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to wait for an explanation.
In a corner, Darid opened his eyes when he heard his elder sister calling him. After thinking for a while, he took Zhaozhao back to his room to sleep.
He calmly locked the doors and windows and put Zhao Zhao into his "bed".
There are so many people in the castle now, and it is inevitable that some people will dare to disturb the peace.
After doing all this, he went to the Prince and Duke Council. Almost everyone inside had arrived. Darid glanced around and found that Carlibella was not there. His mood instantly became a little better.
He smiled gently and politely, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
…
On the other hand, although Carlibella, who gave Darid a headache, did not come to the meeting, she went to another place that gave him a headache.
"Lady Alia, you are as beautiful and elegant as the rumors say."
On a simple and luxurious soft chair, a beautiful woman in a luxurious white dress rested her head lazily on one hand, and fanned herself elegantly with an exquisite fan of the same color in the other.
Her expression was indifferent, not taking the girl in front of her seriously, and she asked casually, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"
"My name is Carlibella. I feel you are very kind and would like to get to know you."
Aaliyah sneered. Although she didn't have much contact with the outside world, she had heard of the name of the girl who was pursuing her son so fiercely.
As Carlibella approached, she inadvertently raised her eyes, then froze in an instant. She slowly sat up straight and stared at the face in front of her for a moment.
This was the first time she saw the girl who was rumored to love her son madly. She looked more pleasing and familiar than she had imagined.
"Your father is..." Through her appearance, Aaliyah seemed to be lost in distant memories.
Carlibella was secretly delighted. Sure enough, what her mother said was true... This woman seemed to still be obsessed with her father.
Mimicking her father's confident demeanor, she said with a smile, "My father is Ledonak."
She looked just like her father, and with that expression and gesture, Aaliyah was distracted again.
“…So it really is him.”
No wonder he looks like an old friend.
This time, after finding out her identity, Aaliyah no longer acted pretentiously. She instantly put on a gentle and considerate smile and pulled Carlibella to sit next to her.
"Dear Miss Bella, I also feel very friendly when I see you."
Without waiting for Carlibela to speak, she continued impatiently, "How is your father? Is everything going well at home?"
His eager eyes seemed to be longing for her answer.
Carlibela was also smart and responded immediately, "Everything is fine at home, and my father is also fine."
"Really?" Aaliyah frowned. "I heard he's been ill in recent years."
Carlibella gave him a comforting look, "This is what happened..."
The two chatted casually, and Carlibella seized the topic to please Aaliyah, and said everything she wanted to know. In just a few hours, her liking for the girl in front of her increased greatly.
Carlibella decided to leave while she was ahead. The meeting of the princes was about to end. "Madam, I'm afraid Darid and the others will be back soon. I'll be leaving first."
When she said this, a look of loss immediately appeared on her face, and the next second, her wrist was indeed grabbed by Aaliyah.
"Why leave? Don't you like Darid? Why are you leaving as soon as he comes back?" She teased. Obviously, her previous prejudice against her had disappeared, and she even wanted to bring them together.
"Stay here and chat with me. I like you very much. I believe Dared will like you too."
These words finally came out of someone's mouth, and this person was even Darede's mother. Carlibella was so happy that she tried to suppress the corners of her mouth that were raised and said honestly, "I really hope he likes me."
Aaliyah paused again, then sighed and said, "You really are like your father."
"I was raised by my father since I was a child, so naturally I look more like him."
Hearing this, Aaliyah liked her even more and refused to let her leave no matter what.
Half an hour later, when Darid came to see Aaliyah with the jewelry box in his hand, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Carlibella turned around and his face instantly darkened.
Aaliyah turned her head following Carlibella's gaze and found her son standing at the door. She glanced at him, then at the box in his hand, and said casually, "Damian, why are you here?"
“…”
Seeing him with a cold face and motionless, Aaliyah frowned impatiently. Just as she was about to say something, Carlibella carefully reminded her, "But Madam, it seems you called the wrong person..."
Hearing this, Darid raised his lips again and walked slowly towards them while whispering, "Mother, you called me the wrong name again."
"Why can an unfamiliar outsider tell Damian and I apart, but you can't?"
"Mother?"
Darid wanted to wait for an explanation, but Aaliyah just turned her head away and didn't want to answer him.
"Heh." Darid paused, and the expensive gift he had carefully prepared in his hand suddenly felt hot.
My father and mother have never had any feelings for each other. My father is cold and my mother is indifferent. They don't like each other, and even don't like the child they have together.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen his mother smile sincerely at him and Damian.
