Chapter 509 Playing the part of the king, Lucian welcomed Archie and Benny by saying, “Welcto the party, you adorable elves!” Although he had gotten his lines correct, his tone sounded so cold that it didn’t match the mood at all.

As a result, Archie and Benny found themselves unable to get into character.

Roxanne shot Lucian a helpless look and said, “This is a fairy tale meant for children, Mr. Farwell. You'll scare the kids off like that.” Unsure of what she meant, Lucian simply frowned at her in confusion. « “You need to put more emotion into your lines. We just had a baby, so you should be more happy about it,” Roxanne explained.

Those words had barely left her mouth when she realized how wrong that sounded. “The king and queen are having a celebration for their princess, but you don’t sound like you're celebrating at all!” she quickly explained with her face all red.

Lucian frowned and stared at her in silence.

“Try to recall how you felt when Essie was born,” Roxanne reminded him patiently.

The look in Lucian’s eyes turned slightly gloomy as he glanced at Estella.

Her condition was terrible when | got her, so | felt nothing but anger and heartache. There was no excitement whatsoever...

With that in mind, he stared at Roxanne and wondered how she felt when she gave birth to Estella back then.

Thinking he still didn’t understand what she meant, Roxanne tried to give him smore guidance. “How did you talk to your employees at Farwell Group during company parties?” “Just like that,” Lucian replied with a straight face.

“In that case, I'll say this line instead. You...” Roxanne had wanted to tell Lucian to avoid speaking if possible but held herself back when she recalled that he would have lots of lines as the prince.

Lucian arched an eyebrow at her in confusion.

Roxanne let out an awkward chuckle in response. “Never mind-let’s just forget this part for now.” Lucian nodded without saying a word.

Roxanne then got into character and smiled at Archie and Benny as she continued, “Welcto the party, you adorable elves!”.

The two kids got into character as well and smiled back at her. “Thank you for the invitation, Your Majesty. Please allow us to give the princess our blessings!” Archie and Benny then danced about with their magic wands as they chanted a few magic words.

Roxanne was about to thank them when Estella entered the scene as the witch.

“You guys sure are bold!” she shouted while glaring at them.

Roxanne nearly burst out laughing when she saw how cute Estella looked. She then pretended to back away in fear, only to be pulled into Lucian’s embrace.

“Who are you?” he asked, showing semotion this time.

Estella then replied with her lines according to the script.

Meanwhile, Roxanne’s mind went blank as she froze up in Lucian’s arms.

She was so shocked by his sudden hug that she forgot they were rehearsing and instinctively broke free from his grip.

Her response was so sudden that Estella stopped reciting her lines halfway through and stared at her in confusion.

“What's wrong, Mommy?” Benny asked worriedly.
