Neil saw Victoria walking toward them from afar and furrowed his brow. He put an arm around Aurelia and took her to the side.
The others understood it when they saw Neil’s reaction. Although they did not want to offend the princess, the Harrises were no pushovers either. Hence, they bowed in courtesy and sought excuses to walk away.
Victoria could not believe it. Everyone just ignored her!
“Victoria.” Alexander’s voice came from behind her.
She turned around and saw her brother’s small smirk.
“I’ve told you not to regard the royal status so highly.” He spoke softly. “People are no fools. They know what’s significant and not!”
“What?” Victoria sneered. “I can’t join in the fun now too? This is the palace. It’s my home. Do you think it’s right that you host a party here without the owner’s permission!?”
“You’re going too far, Victoria. Since when is the palace your home? This is our uncle’s home. We are only being allowed to stay here!”
“You…”
“And I’ve told our uncle about this party.”
“Alexander!” Victoria was pale. “You just want to go against me! You’d rather take the side of an outsider than your own sister!”
“I just don’t want you to humiliate yourself here, Victoria.” Alexander’s face dropped. “You talk about the royal family’s pride all day long. Don’t do something that’ll damage the royal family’s reputation!”
He gave her a cold look and left after speaking.
Victoria clenched her fists, stabbing her nails deep into her palms, as a wash of viciousness flashed across her enraged face.
Coincidentally, a servant was hurrying over with a pot of lit coal.
Victoria thought quickly and discreetly extended her leg. The servant was in a hurry and did not watch the way, so he was tripped!
“Ah!”
As he lost his balance, the pot of burning coal in the servant’s hands flew off his grip. Pieces of burning coal rained toward Aurelia like meteorites from the sky!
