Vivian agreed to it in the end.
She had always been striving to come up with better designs, so she did not want to miss out on such a great opportunity.
When she was brought before the king, she was surprised to see the handsome blond young man standing beside him.
Other than his hair color, his facial features were the same as the man in her memories.
How is this possible?
Vivian was overwhelmed with shock.
“Vivian?” Not wanting her to come off as rude in front of the royal family, Adalyn called out to her when she noticed her spacing out.
That snapped Vivian out of her train of thoughts, and she quickly regained her composure.
“Are you all right? This young man here is Prince Jason. Be sure to mind your manners.”
“Got it, Lady Adalyn,” Vivian said as she lowered her gaze and quickly curtsied to the prince and the king.
Unbeknownst to them, the king had already heard about her from the old duke, so he did not mind her earlier discourtesy. Besides, Vivian’s graceful movements and beautiful appearance reflected her great upbringing, even though she was dressed in very plain clothes.
Flashing her a smile, he asked, “So, this is the daughter of the Jadesons?”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” the old duke quickly replied and nodded.
The king stepped forward and eyed Vivian from head to toe as he said, “Young lady, did you know that your father, Mr. Jadeson, is an acquaintance of mine?”
“Huh? My daddy?” Vivian was astonished.
“That’s right. When your father was in charge of your country’s economy, he wanted to collaborate with us in certain financial industries. He came to me with his business proposal, and we had a pleasant partnership.”
The king seemed to be in a good mood when he brought that up.
The crowd was astounded by Vivian’s identity. The fact that this girl’s father was able to discuss business with His Majesty means he must be of a fairly high status! Moreover, His Majesty even said that her father was in charge of the country’s economy!
With that in mind, they finally came to believe that Vivian was an actual princess.
Even Vivian was a little surprised to hear that her father had once collaborated with the king.
“Um… Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way, Mr. King!”
“Hahahaha!”
The king burst out laughing in amusement.
