Angelina sat quietly as she stared at the magazine in her hand. On the bottom part of the cover are illustrations of sunflowers and above it, written in big letters, are 'Lady Celeste: Who Is The Mysterious Angel?'

Lady Celeste, she is also an anonymous figure. People do not know much about her. But it is said that she is the wife of a powerful official. Lady Celeste would publish monthly magazines covering a certain topic. It seems that 'Angel' is this monthly topic...

If Angelina were to be honest, she felt quite flattered. Though she does not know who exactly Lady Celeste is, she still admires her. After all, Lady Celeste is very well known and loved.

This monthly magazine covers 'Angel' and the candidates of who she might be, judging from Lady Celeste's research and opinion. But the most shocking part was that on the list of candidates for the possible true identities... Lady Angelina Skyler was included.

Everyone that was included in the list of names had their own page where Lady Celeste would give out the reasons for why she suspects them. At most it would be one page. But Angelina took two pages...

' Lady Celeste is indeed capable...' Angelina thought.

Will her identity be revealed soon? Well... It won't be a complete disaster if so...

The nobles have begun to admire and respect Angelina. Only a few will feel dislike towards her when her identity as 'Angel' is revealed.

Angelika wasn't able to think any further as she all of a sudden received a gift. At first, Angelina thought it was from Charles but...

"It's from princess Cecilia, miss." Marie informed after handing Angelina a pretty box.

Angelina opened it and found an exquisite golden hairpin delicately laid inside. "....?" Angelina raised her brows curiously. This is quite strange...

Why would the princess gift her this?

Angelina wasn't sure of the foreign princess's intentions until she picked up the hairpin and witnessed it break into two, only a small part of it remained connected to the other half.

Cecilia sent her a broken hairpin...

This was a clear provocation.

Angelina was naturally angered. But this did give her an idea and she can't help but curve her lips upward.

*************

Princess Cecilia, accompanied by her attendants, left her room to explore the mansion's garden. Meanwhile, a maid went inside her room to clean and found something unexpected.

Near the bed was an open box and inside are Evelina broken hairpins and other hair accessories.

The maid recognized the accessories due to the reason that she would frequently serve Evelina. These accessories were Evelina's favorites! And now it was broken...

The maid panicked and created quite the scene...

Everyone couldn't stop themselves from crowding around Princess Cecilia's room and speculate what happened, though it wasn't very hard to guess...

"This..." Evelina stared at the maid, holding the small chest filled with her favorite hair accessories which were now ruined, with gritted her teeth. She tried to remain calm. But no matter how much she tried to suppress it, the anger and fury stirring in her eyes were clear.

"Poor lady Evelina... She didn't deserve this!" One servant whispered.

"That princess truly is vicious!"

"Such beautiful and delicate hairpins were ruined like this... Truly ashame!"

Fast footsteps sounded and princess Cecilia, her attendants right behind her, walked in with great annoyance written on her face.

"Wha... What is this!? I..." Facing the sight of the broken hair accessories, princess Cecilia panicked. She really didn't do this... Someone is definitely framing her!

As soon as Cecilia appeared, Evelina clenched her hands and forced tears to form in her lovely blue eyes. She was not going to let Cecilia go! This irritating princess actually dared steal and ruined her stuff!

"Why... Why would you do this, your highness?" Evelina pressed her hands together and acted pitiful.

"Your highness, could you care to explain?" Lia asked, looking like Evelina's protector.

"I... It wasn't me! You can't believe this! I am a princess! You dare frame me!?" Cecilia was convinced that Evelina was the one who did this. She's confident Evelina is the one who framed her!

"It was in your highness's room! How could you do this... What did I ever do to offend your highness..!?" Evelina let the tears stream down her face and sobbed in an aggrieved manner.

"B*tch! Don't act innocent! How dare you frame me!? I'm the Emperor's future concubine!" Cecilia might've thought her words would scare Evelina and everyone else, but it didn't. At most it made them gasp at her shamelessness. She actually said such a thing...

"Heh..." Angelina sneered as she hid among the crowd and watched the drama. 'What an exciting show I've made...'

Of course it wasn't truly Cecilia who did this. This was all Angelina's work. It was actually quite simple.

While Evelina was distracted with another matter, Angelina used the travelling soul on Lia, entered Evelina's room, and stole a small chest full of Evelina's favorite hair accessories. She waited until Cecilia and her servants left before entering the room in the body of another servant. Then she broke the pretty accessories with satisfaction and left secretly.

"Your highness... What did I ever do to you...!?" Evelina cried and covered her face to hide her furious expression. ' This b*tchy princess! She had the boldness to provoke me and say such words... Dumb b*tch '

Evelina and Cecilia both didn't suspect Angelina. Angelina had successfully fooled them.

The duke arrived shortly after. He was furious but remained polite. In the end all he did was give Cecilia a warning.

After such a ruckus, the foreign princess felt wronged and annoyed. She returned to her room in a state of anger.

"Entertain me!" Cecilia sat down and ordered her servants. A maid hesitantly stepped out and placed a magazine on Cecilia's stretched out hand.

"What is this...?" Cecilia looked at the magazine in her hand with furrowed brows.

"It's a magazine written by one lady Celeste. It's quite popular among the nobles in this empire..." The maid answered with her head lowered, clearly intimidated.

"Who is this 'Angel' ?" Cecilia asked.

"This lowly one heard she is the mysterious owner of two extremely popular shops. She is also the painter of all the works sold at one of the shops." The maid answered.

"Is it nearby?" Cecilia placed the magazine down in a careless manner.

"What?" The maid was slightly confused.

"The two shops." Cecilia smirked with interest.

"Um... Yes, your highness..." The maid nodded quickly.

"Then prepare a carriage! I would like to pay it a visit. I'd like to see how good this 'Angel' is..." Cecilia stood up and shoved the maid out of the way.

"Ah!" The maid couldn't hold her balance and fell. But she didn't dare complain. "Y-yes your highness..."

***************

Facing the scene before her, Cecilia was dumbfounded. This place truly is very pretty... Cecilia couldn't help but think how great it would be if this shop belongs to her...

Once she entered, Cecilia was amazed. The atmosphere inside really is pleasurable. Inside 'colored beauty', the paintings were hung on the wall, many people were walking around. Seeing this, Cecilia only felt her desire to obtain this shop grow.

"Look at this one! Isn't this one more fitting?" One customer asked his friend.

"Perhaps... But I quite liked the last one. It's too hard to choose!"

" Angel really made it hard to merely choose one..." The two sighed.

" Angel's works are the best! If I could, I would buy everything!" Another customer exclaimed.

Hearing all the praises, Cecilia scoffed. She too could paint. Many people praised her for it too! If they were to see her paintings, Cecilia was confident they would choose her over this Angel.

Cecilia strode over to a female staff member and threw a small bag filled with gold coins to her. "Bring me the one who's in charge here! I would like to purchase this place!"

"...???" The female staff member was confused. This did lady really say what she thought she said? "I'm sorry m'lady but you can't buy the shop. The only things we're selling are the paintings..."

"I don't care! Do you know who I am!? Bring me your boss!" Cecilia insisted stubbornly.

"..." The female staff member was still confused but she still brought in sir Robert.

"Is something the matter, m'lady?" Sir River asked politely.

"First of all, call me your highness! I am a princess! Second of all, did this girl didn't tell you!? I want to buy this shop! If what's inside the bag is not enough, I can give more!" Cecilia impatiently stomped her feet.

"Um... Your highness, I'm afraid we can't do as you say... I'm no longer the owner of this shop. My boss isn't here right now and if she was here... She would still not agree." Sir Robert awkwardly shook his head.

"You! Bring your boss here! I order you!" By this point, many of the customers were looking at her and Cecilia felt slightly panicked. She didn't expect them to decline her offer. This doesn't happen usually...

"Your highness, apologies, but if you continue to create a commotion, we will have to forcibly escort you out." Sir Robert's tolerance could no longer take Cecilia's shouting and he frowned, his expression gloomy.

"Ugh! You imbeciles! How dare you act so impolitely to me! I am a princess! I'll get even with you all!" Cecilia picked up the bag and left angrily with her servants.

*************

Naturally, such a commotion at the shop would reach Angelina's ears.

Angelina, who was enjoying afternoon tea, laughed at the foreign princess's stupidity. Perhaps... The right time has come for her to reveal herself. But she can't possibly reveal herself in such a simple way. Angelina suddenly came up with an idea.

The envoy's banquet!
