Cordelia was surprised. “Dad, what prince and princess?”
Rowan did not look too good as he cracked a wry smile.
“Pass Zuko to the nanny and ask Zephyr to come. I’ll take you both to meet them!”
They came to the hall shortly after.
Cordelia saw a man and woman sitting on the couch upon entering.
The Irwins’ reception hall was glittery and luxurious. The two people who sat there were dressed in traditional
Southeast Aciatic clothing and decked out in jewelry, looking affluent and noble.
Charlie introduced Cordelia and Zephyr to meet them according to royal etiquette.
Charlie said in a lowered voice, “Ms. Cordelia, Mr. Zephyr, this one on the left is Princess Victoria Charles, and on
the right is Prince Alexander Charles. You should bow to them.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCordelia nodded and bowed politely before looking up at them.
Victoria smiled and greeted her. It was said that she was the only princess in the royal family, so her status was
extraordinary.
Cordelia thought that it was not just her status that was extraordinary. She was also very pretty. Growing up as a
royal, elegance and nobility seemed to be etched in her bones.
Prince Alexander Charles, who was next to her, had a softness in his beauty. He was polite and warm, down to
earth.
“I only met Mr. Irwin’s son previously, “Alexander said softly. “It’s our first time meeting Ms. Cordelia.”
“I’ve heard about her.” Victoria smiled. “She’s the one who’s been living in Jangasas, Cordelia Jenner.”
“It’s changed to Cordelia Irwin now.” Rowan smiled. “It’s just that Cordelia’s used her name these 20 over years
that it doesn’t matter what she’s called. The most important thing is that she’s my daughter.”
Cordelia was surprised, not expecting that the princess had investigated her background when they were only
meeting for the first time.
Alexander was only smiling from the side, his gaze pausing briefly on Zephyr’s face.
“Sister, let’s not forget what we’re here for,” he reminded her.
Victoria’s expression was faint as she asked for the gift to be presented.
Rowan refused perfunctorily but let Charlie accept it ultimately.
“I’ve come with my uncle’s instruction today to congratulate you on the addition of a grandson, Mr. Irwin,” Victoria
said courteously. “We hope the Irwins prosper well and mark another glorious accomplishment in pharmaceuticals.”
“Thank you.”
Rowan had spent lots of time interacting with the royals, and he took care of each detail without any faux pas.
Assuming neither inferiority nor arrogance, he asked for tea to be served and sat on the couch by the side to chat
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwith the aristocrats.
With the pleasantries over and done with, everyone relaxed.
After a short chat, Victoria seemed to lose composure as her eyes kept flitting outside the door.
Rowan understood what she was thinking but stayed silent.
Victoria finally asked, “I heard that Ms. Cordelia… didn’t come back alone to Southeast Aciatic this time?”
Before Cordelia could answer, Rowan chuckled and replied first, “Of course, she isn’t alone, Your Highness! There,
my son-in-law’s sitting right beside her!”
Victoria obviously did not mean it like that, so she narrowed her eyes at the sly fox, Rowan.
Rowan continued. “There’s also my little grandson. I’ll ask for him to be carried here if Your Highness would like to
have a look!”
Victoria’s smile was cryptic. “Mr. Irwin, you really don’t know who I’m referring to?”
Rowan’s hand that held the teacup hovered.
In terms of status and identity, there was no way he could rival the royalty. In terms of etiquette, though, he dared
to bet that Victoria absolutely had to keep up the royalty’s pride.
