Chapter 509


    ying the part of the king, Lucian weed Archie and Benny by saying, “Wee to 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 exined.


    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 exined 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 nced at Este.


    Her condition was terrible when I got her, so I 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 Este


    back then.


    Thinking he still didn’t understand what she meant, Roxanne tried to give him some more guidance.


    “How did you talk to your employees at Farwell Group duringpany 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, “Wee to 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 Este entered the scene as the witch.


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


    Roxanne nearly burst outughing when she saw how cute Este looked. She then pretended to back


    away in fear, only to be pulled into Lucian’s embrace.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


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


    Este then replied with her lines ording to the script.


    Meanwhile, Roxanne’s mind went nk 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 Este stopped reciting her lines halfway through and stared at her


    in confusion.


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