The royal family would be so embarrassed if the princess showed how much she desired a man!
Therefore, Rowan slowly placed the teacup down, and a sly glint flashed in his smiling eyes.
“Your Highness, you’re asking about Neil?”
Victoria had been tinkering with her accessories, and her fingers curled up when she heard Neil’s name. However,
she looked unfazed.
Rowan said smilingly, “Neil did come back with them.”
“Then I…” Victoria hesitated.
“Your Highness, how could you speak up in initiative, given your high status?” Rowan said calmly, “According to the
royal family rules, Your Highness can’t ask to meet a man personally. It’d have to be Neil who makes an official
invitation with gifts!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was a change in Victoria’s expression.
Waiting for Neil to ask to meet her? What difference would it make from asking the sun to rise from the west?
Despite that, she could not retort since Rowan brought up the royal family rules. She could only bite her lips and tug
on her bracelet.
Alexander was observant, discerning that Rowan did not welcome the two of them. Even though they were royals,
the royal family was only a decoration in this country.
Rowan had to respectfully address them “Your Highness”, purely out of courtesy and favor.
It was time for both of them to leave now.
Alexander tugged Victoria’s sleeves to shoot her a look.
Victoria’s expression was stiff since she was in a bad mood, so Alexander could only stand up himself to make more
pleasantries before letting his escorts lead the way and slowly making it to the door.
When he passed by Zephyr, his gaze paused on the latter’s face again. Zephyr noticed it and looked up only to
meet the prince’s gentle smile.
After the royal siblings left, Cordelia and Zephyr went to the study with Rowan.
“The king of Southeast Aciatic did not have his own children,” Rowan explained. “So, he has chosen a few children
in the family as princes and princess, probably to observe who’s outstanding enough to inherit the throne in the
future.”
“So, Victoria could possibly be queen in the future?” asked Cordelia.
Rowan nodded.
This was also why the Harris family did not want to offend Victoria.
Southeast Aciatic was a typical constitutional monarchy country. Although the monarch’s power was limited and the
royal family basically had no authority, they were still the royal family and were favored by the people to a certain

In addition, the royal family had connections. The Irwins could not avoid socializing with them if they wanted to
continue to grow.
“Actually…” Rowan sighed. “The royal family intends to seek a marriage alliance with the Harrises.”
“What?” Cordelia and Zephyr were astonished.
“Neil’s father, your uncle, General Noah Harris.” Rowan looked at Cordelia. “He’s a famous figure too, contributed
several honors and was given a title by the royal family.
“So, it’s not all that strange that Victoria has her eyes on Neil.
“If it really works out between them, it’s actually a good thing.
“It’s just…” Rowan paused. “I don’t think Neil has any feelings for Victoria.”
Cordelia froze and could not help thinking that Rowan was really sharp with his judgment.
“So… is this why you rejected Victoria directly just now when she wanted to meet Neil?”
“One of the reasons, yes.” Rowan chuckled. “Neil’s family, after all. I don’t want him to suffer from any grievances.
Besides… From what I see, General Harris doesn’t intend to forge a marriage alliance with the royal family. From
the looks of it, at least, he doesn’t support Victoria’s side.”
