Debt collector? Someone he dislikes? Client?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another possibility—maybe Felyn’s just shy around Her Highness the Princess and wants to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But is Felyn really the kind of pure, bashful boy who gets flustered in front of a princess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah, obviously not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So among the four options, the most likely answer is… Client?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Felyn, the princess is your client, isn’t she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn didn’t expect Zervanie to hit the nail on the head just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this what they call a woman’s intuition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way. My client just happens to know the princess, so meeting her would be a bit of a headache. Come on, help me block her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn ducked behind Zervanie, his body practically melting into the couch cushions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Felyn had no intention of crossing paths with Princess Dorothy. His plan was to accompany Daiyi and meet her father, that was all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why was Dorothy here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had considered that Viloti or Adeline, who were also in the capital, might show up under some strange excuse, but Dorothy had never been on his radar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she found out he was here…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if she found out he and Daiyi were still “dating,” that would be a real mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance, Princess Dorothy slowly approached the front desk, flanked by her royal guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her steps were graceful, her body light. Her long hair trailed behind her in accordance with royal etiquette—smooth, undisturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone didn’t know who she was, just one glance would tell them—she was definitely a princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything about her screamed storybook royalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she neared, people in the lobby stopped in their tracks, bowing in her presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zervanie, do we have to kneel or something?” Felyn whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kneel? What country’s etiquette is that from? Just stand up and give a respectful nod.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie tugged Felyn up to his feet. She didn’t want him thrown into a prison on his first day in the capital for disrespecting royalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the princess saw him, things might get tricky—he just said he didn’t want her to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of the corner of her eye, Zervanie caught sight of Felyn reluctantly rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that pitiful expression, a strange protectiveness welled up in her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking, she pulled the hat from her own head and plopped it on his, then removed her face veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the thin fabric slipped away, it was like uncovering a long-hidden masterpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her silver-white hair spilled out like an unsealed treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her icy blue eyes, finally revealed, sparkled like polished sapphires, slightly upturned at the corners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flower hidden away had finally bloomed—and the entire lobby felt a shade brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Felyn’s eyes, Zervanie seemed to be glowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bro!he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Princess Dorothy made her way to the front desk, smiling softly, raising her hand to gently signal those around her not to bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her amethyst-like eyes swept the room, they landed on a familiar yet unexpected figure in the corner—and she froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The very Zervanie from the poster in her bedroom, standing right here in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes fell in panic, fluttering with nervous tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rosy blush crept swiftly from her collar up to her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy really liked Zervanie, the popular songstress. Of course, it was just admiration as a fan! Her preferences were completely normal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zervanie walked toward her, Dorothy instinctively straightened her hair and dress, long fingers smoothing the stray strands across her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“L-Lady Zervanie…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t even noticed the man beside her wearing a borrowed hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie gave a graceful curtsey, one hand over her chest, the other extended lightly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady Zervanie, there’s no need for such formality!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy’s voice quivered. Her hands, folded nervously at her waist, trembled slightly. Her reddened earlobes betrayed her excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess’s voice was sweet. If she hadn’t been royalty, she probably would’ve been a pop idol too—on the same level as Zervanie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-Would you… like to have something to eat with me? I came here for the Ross cake today…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy’s voice was soft, her eyes full of anticipation. Her fingers toyed gently with the lace hem of her skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules of royal life were strict—she rarely got a chance to leave the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, while Daiyi and her father were busy talking, she’d snuck out to this noble café, hoping to enjoy a few extra pieces of Ross cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father always scolded her for eating too many, saying it would rot her teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have other plans later?” she asked, a little shyly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a rehearsal later, but it’s fine. I’d love to eat with Your Highness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorothy gave a small shake of her head, her fluffy pink-purple hair bouncing with the motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, Lady Zervanie. Your performance is more important. I wouldn’t want to interfere… with your career.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She offered a polite smile, her eyes filled not with disappointment, but with sincere warmth and understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m really looking forward to your concert. I’ll be there… to cheer you on.” Her voice got softer and softer, as if she still wasn’t used to saying such things aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few polite exchanges, Zervanie waved goodbye and walked off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her figure faded from sight, Dorothy finally let out a slow breath, the tension draining from her limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her luck really was getting better lately~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ross cake, check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting Zervanie, check!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now if only she could see that person too…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside a private booth, Princess Dorothy sat alone, gently swinging her legs wrapped in white stockings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She removed her lace gloves and set them neatly beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each delicate bite of Ross cake, a bit of cream clung to the corner of her lips. Her eyes narrowed in delight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as she reached the final piece on the plate, her hand paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Brother Felyn, if only you were here with me. Then we could eat together, instead of me sitting here all alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tapped the little cake with her fork, but never brought it to her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice faded, a whisper meant only for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My… Brother Felyn… My Felyn, just for me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe it was the lighting, but her purple pupils seemed darker now—drawing in all surrounding light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips curved upward, forming a smile that had nothing to do with royal etiquette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the smile of obsession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The next contract service won’t be for a long time… When will I see you again…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her slender fingers brushed the magical crystal pendant hanging around her neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When… will it be just the two of us, together forever and ever… without anyone else interrupting…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zervanie, you’re seriously the best bro ever!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Felyn gave her shoulder a pat, making her heart skip a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bro? What the hell is that? Never mind… their relationship was getting closer, more natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bro it is,she thought.Someday it’ll go from “bro” to “bride,” heh heh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie’s icy blue eyes sparkled with a plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just done Felyn a huge favor—now was the perfect time to ask for something small. He couldn’t possibly refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to buy a few things this afternoon. Want to come with me? I can show you around the capital too. And… you could help me carry a few bags…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blinked innocently, trying to look like she didn’t care even if he said no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment of silence passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure, I’ll go with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zervanie’s blue eyes gleamed with delight. Before Felyn could change his mind, she grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the inn lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1284,"2026-06-09T04:36:14.213Z",1,"novelbin.me","6dbf8b54410f78f9ce53cb8dfbf104450c0773411738be195acb4468efd2dccb","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-149","shut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-chapter-147",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshut-up-young-lady-obediently-hand-over-the-mone-cover.jpg"]
