Chapter 881

Princess Stella, weary from her travels and risking her noble father's wrath, revealed her purpose with a single kiss-

She had come for Bennett, solely to see him.

A royal princess fleeing the palace for her heart's desire-what a romantic tale, a pure love story from across the seas.

But, the Ashbourne family felt the weight of the world on their shoulders!

"Debby, you've whisked away a royal princess, is this really okay?"

In the room, Suri clasped her daughter's hand, her voice laced with worry, "When you go back, won't the royal family target you? You and your husband won't get the short end of the stick, right?"

"Don't worry, Mom, we're on good terms with the royal family."

Debby's voice was gentle, soothing, "Do you really think I'd be so foolish to elope with a royal princess? The moment Stella thought she had escaped the palace, I had already informed the queen. The queen knows the princess is with me and is quite at ease. But she also sent royal guards to discreetly protect the princess. They wouldn't just let her run wild without oversight."

"Suri, don't fret."

Evadne, munching on the famous Helgen pastries Debby had air-shipped, chimed in to comfort her, "The Helgen royal family handed over all their power to the presidency twenty years ago. Nowadays, they barely have any real power, serving more as mascots. To put it bluntly, they're at the mercy of my brother-in- law and the parliament. How could they afford to give Debby and my brother-in- law any trouble?

But, if we're talking about the old days, the Helgen royal family was famed as the most terrifying, the most unpredictable, fraught with danger.

They had legions of guards and secret agents at their disposal, wielding their own justice against those who defied palace or national laws. Back then, Helgen was rife with corruption and dark politics, with a royal family that was feared for its ruthlessness."

"That was the past. Thanks to the efforts of generations, it has completely changed," Debby said, smiling warmly as she poured tea for her sister, wary she might eat too much and get thirsty.

Suri's eyes widened in surprise, "Wow, Evadne, did you become a Helgen citizen or something? How do you know all these details?"

“I love diving into Helgen royal gossip while snacking on popcorn. It's way more interesting than any TV show or movie!"
