Chapter 87: Interaction
A moment later, Jason’s figure finally appeared again.
The old servant was surprised to see the princess sitting opposite a young man who was the same age as her.
Coming this way, he felt awkward.
Actually he was a bit confused about what he was going to say.
He even wondered what he had come for?
"Mr. Jason, there are still things I want to talk to him about. Please wait downstairs for a moment," said Princess Charlotte.
She again showed herself to be a princess, gentle yet very dignified.
Jason became more and more helpless.
Since she was giving him orders again, he had no choice but to leave.
After he left, Princess Charlotte picked up her electronic cigarette again.
She smoked it to relax.
At first glance, she looked more like a kind and educated lady who wanted to try fun things.
"It’s hard to have a normal life with the status of a princess, but I can’t give up this status either," she said as she exhaled the vapor from her mouth.
"Your Highness, so you also have a desire to live like a normal person?" Aldric felt very unexpected to hear this from her.
"It’s not like that," the princess replied.
"You know, there are many things that are natural desires of all humans, but many of those things are forbidden in my life. Unfortunately, I’m entirely human, not an angel, but I’m required to be like an angel. That is of course impossible. I may be able to look like that, but my real self can’t do it." She explained in a casual manner.
Aldric could not give her any opinion on this.
Those boundaries were made to maintain the dignity of a kingdom, and it had to be or the people would have no respect for them.
"Of all my friends, I like Jenny the most. This is because she is always willing to help me get the things I want." The princess laughed when she said that.
"How do you know Jenny, Your Highness?"
Aldric became curious about this.
He still did not expect that Jenny could be friends with him.
"It’s been a while, before she became famous," Princess Charlotte replied. "We met at a music school. I learned to play the piano while she learned to sing. We became close after a few meetings. That’s right, she’s been telling me about you ever since. She said that when she was young, she dated a very handsome and sweet man.
I didn’t really believe it at first, thinking that Jenny was just exaggerating you, but it turned out to be true. You’re even more than what Jenny described."
Aldric, "..."
This princess was talking about his appearance and even seemed to be giving compliments, he felt his heart beating so hard.
With Jenny, he had never felt such a nervous sensation.
Indeed, their beauty was hard to distinguish, Jenny was even more glamorous while she focused on elegance, but she was a princess.
In the future, the whole of England might be led by her.
"Your Highness, I think Jenny is indeed overestimating me," he said, trying to be humble.
"How about now, are you still dating Jenny?" Suddenly the princess gave him a surprising question.
She seemed relaxed when she asked it, smoking her electronic cigarette, but her eyes seemed unblinking when she looked into his.
This gave the impression that she was very curious.
Aldric was not sure what she was thinking.
In response, he shook his head.
"No, no, we’re just friends," he said.
"Ohhh..." The princess showed a strange look at that.
"Why not? Jenny seems to like you more now. So many men want her but you have the biggest chance to have her. Don’t you want her?"
The princess apparently continued this topic, which made Aldric suspect she might have a high curiosity towards dating life, one of the things she could not feel as a young woman.
She would eventually have to wait until she was old enough to marry and then she would be set up with a certain man of proper status.
Aldric could not help but answer her question even though it was a bit awkward for him.
"I just find it difficult if I’m related to a celebrity. After all, celebrities have different lives to ordinary people. Their lives are even unpredictable. We may see them full of romance today, but one day later they suddenly split up. As an ordinary guy, I don’t want to be a victim of a celebrity’s life."
When he explained that to her, she seemed to be listening seriously. She even nodded her head.
"That is indeed risky. Although I’ve seen Jenny limit herself quite a bit so far, we can’t guess the future," she said.
She apparently gave a reasonable opinion instead of defending Jenny so that he would not have such doubts. Aldric felt strange again.
"Mm..." The princess suddenly looked at the clock on the wall.
"Looks like it’s getting late in Magician Online," she said before looking at him again.
"In about an hour, we’ll start the plan," she added.
Since she said that, then it was probably time for Aldric to leave.
"In that case, I will return to my dormitory, Your Highness. My virtual headset is over there," Aldric said as he stood up.
After he said that, for some reason the princess seemed to fall silent.
It took a while before she nodded.
"Okay, I’ll escort you out," she said before standing up.
Aldric was dumbfounded again because she said she would escort him.
His face almost froze with his mouth open.
Fortunately, he was able to hide his expression.
He could only nod. Of course, it was natural for the host to escort the guest out, but who was this woman?
Aldric was worried that the old servant would be very surprised.
They then walked side by side to the stairs and descended them.
"Right, would you still work as a porter later if there was such an offer from the woman named Rose?" She also continued their interaction.
"This job pays very well. In other places the pay may be lower, but it’s still very high for me," Aldric replied. "It will depend. If I have little money, I will continue to accept this job. Besides, I can exercise my physique while working."
"You seem to be very disciplined in physical matters." The princess smiled at his answer.
Aldric could not continue answering because they finally arrived downstairs and met Jason again.
The old servant was actually waiting there.
He was surprised to see the princess coming down as well.
Before he could say anything, she suddenly spoke first.
"Mr. Jason, you must be tired, go back to your room immediately. I will escort Aldric out."
Jason, "..."
