Princess?
Everyone in the room immediately widened their eyes and prepared to bow.
Aiden also turned his attention to the empire's most beloved little princess.
But instead of bowing, the princess waved her hand and said softly: "No need to be so formal. You can rise."
Then she ran up to Aiden with a big smile, her deep blue eyes full of curiosity.
"You're the Aiden that Vespera sister was always talking about, right?" asked Princess Kelsey with a grin.
Before Aiden could answer, Vespera quickly coughed twice.
She hadn't actually been talking about Aiden all the time — she had just mentioned him a few times here and there.
Aiden nodded slowly. He didn't feel any fear toward the princess, just saw her as a very cute little girl.
And looking at Kelsey's round, baby-like face, Aiden even felt like reaching out to pinch it.
