It was not like they could defy the princess’ order, so they left respectively after some hesitation. When the last
guard left, he closed the door of the hall inside.
Aurelia kept up her act before breathing out in relief upon confirming that everyone at the door had left.
Neil cracked a grin and spread his long legs, about to dash over to hug her, when…
“Hold on.” The girl’s voice was stern.
“Mr. Harris, stand there and talk if you have something to say.”
“Huh?” Neil was taken aback. What the heck had gotten into the girl?
Aurelia peeked at him. It was fun to see him being knocked back. She decided to continue teasing him.
“Aurelia, what are you trying to do?” Neil asked in a low voice.
“Aurelia?” She arched her brow. “Mr. Harris, how dare you address me by my name now?”

“Come on, stop it!” Neil walked forward as he said, “It’s not easy for me to enter the palace. I’ve only gotten to
sneak in with my dad in preparation for Alexander’s coronation… Aurelia, our time together is precious. Let’s—”
“Hey!” Aurelia tried her best not to grin. She crossed her arms in front of herself and shot him a look. “Stand back
there!”
“You…”
“Why? Do my words as the princess hold no significance to you, Mr. Harris?”
Neil gripped his hands, feeling his temples throb. His rushing blood was so close to surging out of his head.
It would have been fine if the girl was being serious, but she was not! He saw the quirk on her lips just now! She was
just pranking him.
“Fine, I’ll stand here,” Neil said through his gritted teeth. “Your Highness, anything else?”
“Well… it’s like this.” Aurelia forced back a smile and decided to prank him for good.
“I’m not benevolent. I hold grudges.”
Neil looked at her in a daze. “What?”
“I remember you treating me as a murderer the first time we met, uncle.”
“Well…”
“The second time we met, it was in the hospital, and you mocked me. You also pressed my head.”
Neil was rendered speechless.
“After that, I stayed in the hotel, and you hit my head every time I got less than two sentences in with you!”
“Uh…”
“And when you gave me my Southeast Aciatic temporary residence permit in the helicopter, you threw it to me!
And it hit my head too!”

A man towering over six feet standing rooted with hands covering his face as he waited to be scolded like an
elementary school student was truly a refreshing scene in the palace.
“Uncle, do you have a grudge against my head?”
“Go on then.” Neil chuckled genuinely. “How do you want to go about this, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth?”
Aurelia giggled and lightly stepped toward him to stand with him while he was distracted.
“How’s there a grudge between us?” Aurelia’s gaze was tender as she told him softly, “You’re the best uncle in the
world!”
Neil was on cloud nine.
“Even though I’m not taking revenge…” Aurelia smiled. “We can still… settle our past score!”
Aurelia moved fast. Before Neil could react, she had gone behind him and flicked the back of his head—hard and
loud!
