It was a man’s voice!
Cordelia frowned, finding the voice familiar.
Meanwhile, Allegra shouted at the door like she had found her savior, “Cousin! Alexander! Is it you!?
“Help! Save me, Alexander!”
Cordelia paused. Could it be Alexander at the door?
The doorknob was twisted even faster, accompanied by hastier knocks.
“What’s going on inside? I’ll get the guards to open the door if you don’t come out!”
Cordelia snorted and let go of Allegra abruptly. ‘No fun!’
Allegra fled frantically and staggered to open the door. As expected, Alexander stood outside, looking confused.
“Alexander!” Allegra wailed and threw herself into his arms.

crossed arms, as well as the red wine stain on her.
He froze and pushed Allegra off him to run to Cordelia.
“Are you okay!?”
Cordelia was surprised. The man’s concern and nervous expression did not look feigned.
Alexander could care less as he grabbed Cordelia’s shoulders and spun her around to check her, heaving a long
sigh of relief upon confirming that she was unscathed.
“No superficial wounds, it seems… Any internal injuries?”
Cordelia giggled.
Alexander ordered strictly, “Don’t laugh first. Answer me!”
Cordelia could only shake her head and look at the stunned Allegra.
“Your Highness.” She took two steps back to keep a distance from Alexander. “You should be concerned about your
cousin… She’s gotten the short end of the stick just now, and I admit that I was a little emotional, so…”
“Alexander!” Allegra got angry from being embarrassed. “How could you take this b*tch’s side and not mine? Do
you know that she pinned my head—”
“Shut it!” Alexander growled with a stern look.
Allegra was not the only one who dared not move in fear. Cordelia panicked a little too. After all, the man was a
prince and had an extraordinary presence.
“Allegra, don’t think that I don’t know how you usually bully others!” Alexander reprimanded, “Are you behind the
wine stain on Ms. Irwin?”
Allegra stayed silent with a guilty conscience.
“Ms. Irwin’s the guest of the royal family! How dare you treat her like this!?”

“Apologize to Ms. Irwin!”
Allegra looked at him in disbelief as she shook in anger.
Cordelia knew that she would not be able to get the apology, but she had vented her anger just now, so she
considered it a draw.
She bowed at Alexander and said, “Your Highness, never mind. I’ve dirtied my clothes. It’d be inappropriate to meet
the queen. I’ll be heading back first. Please relay my apologies to the queen.”
She left for the door, but Alexander stopped her. “Cordelia, wait!”
Cordelia turned back in confusion.
Alexander smiled. His gaze was clean like the spring. “You’ve made an effort to be here. How could you just leave
like this?
“I’ll take you to meet the queen. I won’t let you break the etiquette!”
