Everyone stared in shock, their jaws practically hitting the floor.
No one present, except for Declan and Camilla, had ever met Princess Annabeth before this. Even if they had known her better, how could a royal symbol like the tiara be so casually gifted?
“Ah! Ahh!” Carrie blushed deeply and waved her hands in surprise. She did not even dare to touch the crown.
“Princess, this is far too valuable.” Justin stepped forward, his voice gentle as he tried to decline the gift. "Your Highness, Carrie is deeply grateful for your kindness. She is very happy about the gift. But please, you should..."
“Hmph! Who are you to tell me what to do?”
Princess Annabeth tilted her delicate, radiant face upward and shot him a haughty glance. “Besides, this is my royal gift to her. Who dares to refuse it?!”
Justin was speechless.
For a moment, he wondered if he was getting too old, as his words only seemed to irritate others these days.
“Tsk, tsk... Why is the princess acting so high and mighty? Even the British monarchy lost its power decades ago... Yet here she is handing out royal gifts.” Sasha mumbled, her knack for sarcasm kicking in.
“Aunt Sasha, please don’t say that.”
Camilla gently linked arms with her, smiling softly. “The King and Queen have only one daughter, Princess Annabeth, whom they have raised with immense love and care. It’s natural for her to be a bit spoiled. But she has a good heart. She’s kind and sincere. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have become friends, and she certainly wouldn’t…”
As she spoke, Camilla glanced meaningfully at Declan, who stood tall and composed behind them.
His clear, handsome eyes focused on Carrie. Yet despite this, his intense gaze never left Princess Annabeth’s face. A subtle worry flickered in his deep, dark eyes.
Princess Annabeth pouted stubbornly, her expression proud yet somehow endearing. “Taking back a gift after giving it? That would be humiliating and disgraceful for the royal family!”
Roza and Amelia struggled to hold back their laughter, while Bella could only sigh in exasperation.
If the princess was giving away tiaras after just one meeting, what would happen once she got to know everyone better? Would she empty out the entire palace?
Now, the spot was empty.
She looked as if the hope she had carefully nurtured shattered into pieces. It left her feeling lonely and exposed.
Accompanied by her elder brother, Carrie stepped into the carriage that would take her to the chapel.
The other relatives followed suit, getting into their luxurious cars to join the procession.
Bella made a point to ride with Princess Annabeth. The two of them were seated side by side in the back. “Your Highness, after Carrie’s wedding, you should take the tiara back,” Bella said with the composed authority of an older sister.
As someone usually headstrong and willful who could challenge anyone or anything, Princess Annabeth seemed to lose all her bravado in Bella’s presence. She became as gentle and pliant as a lamb. It was as if Bella were her real older sister.
It was true that there was always someone who could keep another in check.
