Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 189 - The Princess's Return

"I don't  believe completely that my father is my enemy unless proven otherwise. I don't have a proof yet of any of his wrong doings so I guess he will be my father until things change which I hope won't. It was actually good talking to him."

Liam gave her a warm encouraging smile. "When you move into the palace, you will have enough time to talk to him and conclude if he is an enemy or not," Liam said with a underlying message in his tone.

"Do you know something?" She asked him seriously.

"Not yet."

"Until you do, he is harmless, right?" she asked feigning an innocent look.

"You know better than I do of how hunted you will get once you move into the palace. The people of the northern kingdom never liked your mother it will be hard for them to like you but I will be there to help you.

"I have had a few of my men stationed in the palace already. They will be assigned to be your guards as soon as you get to A city," he informed her knowing she was only pretending but he only wanted to remind her that he had the resources to ensure her safety.

"Thanks for that," she appreciated but immediately cleared her throat slightly and regained her new cold countenance. "I have a work for you," she suddenly said.

Liam noticed her sudden change and he immediately adapted to match her new countenance although it was a really hard task for him not to try to talk things over with her.

The announcement of the return of the princess was made internationally with the world knowing that the princess who was assumed be dead was alive and returning to her rightful place as the heir.

It caused a storm both politically and domestically with people having a lot of questions on their mind.

Her father did a press conference the following day after she had dinner with him and he took all the blame as a father who gave up and did not search even to the ends of the world to find his daughter but he abandoned her and buried her when she was still living.

People reacted very differently. The difference between the reaction of her southerners and the northerners was vast.

Majority of her mother's people were happy mostly those who knew of the underlying problem of the United governance which were mostly the older citizens.

These group of people supported her mother and did not believe that her mother was a traitor but those of the younger generations strongly believed all they were taught in history classes and they were not bothered because they were perhaps too busy trying to get successful to notice the difference in the way they were treated compared to those from her father's kingdom or they just did not notice the difference because it was still inconspicuous.

Indigens of the northern kingdom which is her father's kingdom were not happy about it at all. They began talking about her mother's past and all that happened before her death.

Videos and pictures from her mother's past surfaced including those she has never seen before and the scandal with Mr. Hart also went viral once again.

It was as those by going to the palace, she was walking on a field with lots of landmines but she did not bother about those that exploded when she stepped on them because they were only empty words.

She continued preparing to return to the palace. A day before the D-day, all the seemed to subside and soon. There were talks about how her mother might have been accused wrongly or forced to leave the kingdom the day she did.

Her face had not yet been revealed to the public as they were trying to protect her before her arrival but the insiders of the Royal council all know and most of the nobles knew that the girl who's test came back negative was the king's daughter.

That caused a lot of problem among the members of the council but they were forced to accept it when the heads of the council of both the northern and southern kingdoms agreed with the king for reasons only a few of them knew about.

The princess's grand return to the palace was aired live by a lot of TV stations. Those who knew nothing about the identity of the princess got to see her on TV and she was immediately recognized by those who knew her.

Seeing the video on the screen of her tablet made Anna pissed off. She slammed on the table. She was actually thinking Rose will one day return home when things get really hard for her but all these was a sign that Rose will not have a reason to return home.

She was also considering bullying her sister in her petty ways to get her sister's attention back to her like it has always been since they met as adopted sisters but this will be almost completely impossible.

"She lied to me," Anna suddenly voiced her realization when she remembered that her sister told her her parents were dead and she knew well them before their deaths.

Anna felt very betrayed by Rose. How could Rose lie to her about her biological parents when she knew who they were all along?

"She lied to us all," Anna continued complaining. She wanted to go back to the time she met Rose so she could stop her dad from adopting her.

She knew it was all a lie because she was grateful despite all that happened between them. She was grateful that Rose was once her sister and companion.

She also felt guilt eating her up right from the inside but she was unwilling to accept it. She knew she hurt Rose that day when she did not believe all Rose told her.

She felt that she was the reason Rose was forced to leave. She felt that Rose will never have wanted to return home to her father, the king if she had not mistreated her, right?

"What is wrong?" Steve asked hugging her tightly from behind with his chin resting on her shoulder.

"Nothing," she replied trying to sound with as much sincerity as she could show in her voice at that moment.

As usual he did not take nothing as an answer as he released her from his hug and picked the Tablet up. The face of the very beautiful girl in a very gorgeous dress was very familiar but the majesty he noticed in her comportment was very unique and foreign.

"It is your sister again,"  he said with a sigh. He was unhappy with Rose's interference with his life with Anna. Anna was either feeling guilty that her sister left or feeling unhappy that her sister left her alone he was clearly by her side everyday.

He wondered why all the tests he carried all told him Rose was not related to the Royal family at all.

He also heard about it the day the king officially informed the Royal council of her return but there was nothing he could do to stop her return to the palace.

He tried to stop her from returning to the palace because the last thing he wanted was for her to return to the palace even under the protection of one of the people he hated with his every breath when he was still far away from accomplishing his goal.

"I am sure she has her reasons. I am sure she could not tell me because she couldn't," Anna whispered trying not to feel as hurt as she felt because of her sister's vengeance.

"She has betrayed you so many times. I guess this all enough for you to snap out of it," Steve snapped as he threw the Tablet which flew to the marble floor and its screen cracked.

Anna was shocked by his sudden action as she looked down at her destroyed tablet and slowly moved her gaze to Steve.

Steve did not care about the gaze that was fixed on him as he grabbed his phone and walked out of the apartment he stayed in with Anna in Star city.

He lost so many men, his foster father lost his fortune and almost lost his life to Liam and Rose. He really could not continue to be one the losing side.

He called his assistant when his car went into auto-pilot. "I want to you to give me five men from the southern kingdom. They must pay for what their little princess has done. Afterwards call for an important meeting tomorrow."

Less than a couple of hours later, five men were hanging from the ceiling of a warehouse with their hands as they got beaten up and tortured one of the other by very brutal methods.

The assistant who made that possible went of the warehouse and made a call to arrange a meeting with some very important people in the kingdom who were associated with Steve.
