In another manor in the capital.
"It's no use! We can't stop her at all!"
"Don't run! We have to stop her for his highness!"
"Ah!"
Those were the different cries that rang out through the manor as the guards tried to stop the intruder. However, no matter how they tried, they weren't able to stop the intruder at all.
That was because…they didn't dare touch her.
There wasn't a single guard that dared lay a single finger on this intruder because they knew that they would be dead if they did.
The princess slowly made her way through the manor, throwing aside all the guards that tried to block the way. No matter how firmly they tried to hold on, they found that they were no match at all for the strength of the princess.
All they could do was let her throw them like ragdolls until her rampage was over.
But she was slowly getting deeper and deeper into the manor where his highness was…so they couldn't let her go any further.
However, as for touching her, they would never do that.
Even if the king didn't do anything, his highness would skin them alive if they were to even harm a single hair on this princess' head.
So they were helpless against this invader.
That was until a voice suddenly said, "Alright, that's enough! Let her through, I'll deal with her."
After this voice fell, there was an exasperated sigh that followed.
As soon as the guards heard this voice, they all revealed a relieved look like they had been spared an execution.
Without any hesitation, the guards all moved aside and allowed the princess to walk forward.
She looked at them with disdain before walking over to the person who spoke and saying, "Fourth brother, don't you think that your guards are just too weak? They couldn't even stop a little fragile girl like me."
When the guards heard this, they all revealed bitter smiles.
They couldn't stop her?
It wasn't that they couldn't stop her, but they didn't dare stop her.
Though they would never say that out loud since all that was waiting for them was a beating. After all, when they were being thrown around by the princess…that wasn't just a result of them not resisting.
Even if they had resisted, it was very unlikely that they could have stopped her from throwing them around like this.
What fragile little girl?
She was simply a monster in human skin!
But once again, they only dared to think this and didn't dare say it out loud.
Though if it was a real fight, it was impossible that these trained soldiers would lose against a princess. Or at least that was what they liked to think.
Though in reality, they would have to use an actual battle formation if they wanted to stop her.
The fourth prince saw the bitter smiles on the faces of his subordinates and he too revealed a bitter smile before waving his hand to dismiss his subordinates. Then he said, "Big sister, come in and have some tea."
The princess nodded with a smile on her face.
But that smile didn't last long.
After entering the fourth prince's study, she sat down without a single care like she was the owner of this place even though it was the fourth prince's study.
The maid to the side was also used to this, so she simply poured a cup of tea for the princess before moving to the side. However, the fourth prince waved his hand at her as well to dismiss her, so the maid just gave a simple bow before leaving.
Once they were alone, the fourth prince said with a sigh, "Big sister, what do you need from me?"
The princess didn't speak right away as she just simply took a sip of her tea. Then when she was done, she calmly put it down and said, "Little Betty really makes the best tea."
The fourth prince said with a helpless smile, "I'll pass those…"
Before he could finish, the princess had already slapped the table with one hand while her other hand was pointing in the fourth prince's nose as she said, "Why did you betray me?"
"Eh?" The fourth prince said in a surprised voice.
The princess then said, "You're the one that picked out the guards for me and you told me that you would only get me guards that wouldn't rat me out to our royal father. So why does he know everything that I've been doing?"
The fourth prince revealed a bitter smile when he heard this.
With a sigh, he shook his head before saying, "What did you expect me to do against royal father? It's not as if I could just say no, right?"
The princess pushed her finger even further forward until she was poking the fourth prince's nose and she said, "Little fourth, I've been good to you, right? I've never done anything bad to you, right?"
The fourth prince couldn't help giving a gulp when he heard this, but he still said, "Right…"
The princess then said, "Now that you've betrayed me like this, I wonder how I should punish you."
The fourth prince trembled when he heard this before saying, "Big sister, please be gentle…"
He knew that it was pointless to struggle, so he just straight begged for mercy.
The princess revealed a smile when she heard this. She sat back down on the sofa, pulling her arms back before saying, "Well there's a way for you to make it up to me."
When he heard this, the fourth prince couldn't help feeling a chill run down his spine. Slowly, he asked, "What…can I do for you?"
The princess' smile became wider as she said, "Well, it turns out that I need a favour from you. I need you to help me arrange something."
The fourth prince felt another chill run down his spine when he heard this, but with a sigh, he said, "Alright, I'll do what I can."
