Possessing the Alpha Queen

A Turning Point of Destiny

Angelina Aldington's POV

Two days later.

Angelina stood by the carriage, looking back at the city gates, Alan certainly would not appear, but also aunt Melinda did not come to see her off, only to had the maid sent a letter for her to bring to the king of Chris, let her feel a touch of despondency. From here to the Chris Kingdom, the road was long, this trip was more than a month, it was said that time could wash away everything, she hoped so.

Angelina sighed, lifted the hem of her skirt, and sat in the carriage. In the back of the carriage were two large carts of the gifts Melinda had prepared for her parents. On the other side was a small detachment of ten men, led by a handsome young man with dark blue eyes, who rode on his sturdy black warhorse, wearing black leather boots, tight black leather pants, black deerskin gloves, a black woolen shirt with hard leather armor, and a shining black ring armor over it. The eyes were steely, like a sharp knife.

Angelina sat down in the carriage, pulled open the side curtain of the carriage, and said to the black-armored knight: "Lawrence, let's go."

Lawrence bowed slightly, "As you command, Your Highness."

He clamped the belly of his horse, and the handsome horse under his stride slowly moved forward. At the same time, he raised his right hand and made a fist to give the command to march, and the caravan slowly set off and left Sphere Castle.

The blizzard had stopped, but the thick snow slowed the entire procession's progress. The good thing was that Angelina was just out to take a break, this slow journey could let her calm down. Unfortunately, the landscape was bare and the journey along the way was a bit boring. In the escort accompanying, others always remained silent. Only Lawrence greeted Angelina every morning and every night.

Since the kingdom of Albi all the way south, after crossing the snowy plains, the land began to appear a touch of yellow, the more southbound, yellow to green, the weather was getting warmer.

Over the years, the kingdom of Albi and its neighboring kingdom of Chris maintained a peaceful relationship because of the marriage between Baroque and Melinda. Without war and famine, the wanderers were much less. Lawrence and his men exuded a powerful aura so that those rogues did not dare to approach. All the way south, it was safe and sound. More than ten days later, they arrived at Peyapa City, Chris Kingdom's capital city.

Unlike Sphere Castle, Peyapa City is located in the plains and has no natural protection. After the marriage between the Charles family and the Aldington family, there is an additional barrier to the north of the Kingdom of Chris. The Babar River ran through the Kingdom, and with the support of convenient water transportation, the city of Peyapa has become a center of trade and commerce.

A line of silver-armored knights waiting at the gates, the leader of the line was a white-haired old man in black robes, he saw the carriage hanging Aldington clan emblem, rushed to meet.

Lawrence waved back, hand pulling the reins to a halt. The old man walked up to the carriage, bowed, "Dear Princess Angelina, all guests from far away, I am Elton David, head of palace affairs, commissioned by the king, here to welcome you."

There were too many pedestrians at the entrance of the city. Angelina did not get out of the car, for she did not want too many more people to pay attention to her. She let her maid get out of the car and had a few words of courtesy with Elton before following the procession of silver-armored knights towards the inner city

When she arrived in the inner city, Angelina met King Blake Charles of Chris. He exchanged pleasantries with Angelina and left the hospitality to his wife, Queen Diana.

In the garden of the palace, there was a long table filled with exquisite refreshments. Queen Diana and Angelina sat opposite each other, while other noblewomen sat in a circle. The queen, nearly 40 years old, is dignified and graceful. She looked at Angelina as if she were her own child.

"Time flies fast, the last time I saw you was five years ago. Now you have grown into an adult, your beauty, even the moon goddess would be jealous." Queen Diana lamented.

The two countries had connections through marriages, but in reality, the royal family members were not close to each other, and Melinda had hardly ever returned to her mother's family after she married into the Kingdom of Albi. And five years ago, as Diana said, was when the two countries celebrated the launch of the Pathfinder megaship.

Angelina complimented, "Madam, you look as beautiful as you did five years ago as if the time had stopped."

The other noblewomen were particularly curious about Angelina. They all approached Angelina for small talk. After all, the princess enjoyed the reputation of intelligence and bravery. Moreover, Albi was located in the north, where the customs were different from the Kingdom of Chris.

Angelina did not like this kind of occasion. She just wanted to end this meeting as quickly as she could.

"Oh, dear mother, I heard that the princess of Albi is here?" a young man wearing a white shirt with a gray vest and beige leggings with tall riding boots came into sight.

Queen Diana stood up, pulled the young man over, and said proudly, "This is my son, Melinda's brother, Paul."

Paul eyed Angelina up and down. His gaze lingered on her chest and said with a smile, "I have long heard about you. Your beauty is sung by bards, and today I see that it is true."

The young man was pompous, that was Angelina's first impression of him. his boldness made her feel uneasy.

Diana did not notice Angelina's uneasiness, she doted on her son: "The God's Day is still more than twenty days away, let Paul accompany you in going around and admiring the scenery of Chris, you will like it here."

Angelina didn't want to travel around with this lecherous guy, and quickly said, "Madam, don't bother Paul, I'll just make my own arrangements."

Diana made a few polite remarks and seeing that Angelina was very insistent, she had to give up.

Twenty days passed in a flash. The richness of Chris' kingdom was far from Albi. Those exotic customs lifted Angelina's mood up. If Paul did not harass her from time to time, she might be much happier.

The God's Day came, Peyapa City became a city of joy, and in the evening, the huge square in the city was lit up with bonfires, and unlimited wine and food were laid out in the square like a small mountain. Angelina wore a veil, weaving in and out of the crowd, feeling the joy. Lawrence was beside her nervously, afraid that the princess would be harmed.

"Your Highness, there are too many people here, you have to go to the court ball later, be careful not to get hurt."

Angelina frowned, if she could, she wanted to be here in the square, dancing with these happy people, instead of staying in the palace, listening to drowsy music with those old fuddy-duddies.

The banquet hall inside the palace had a completely different atmosphere, where princes and noblemen and noblewomen were gathered in a group, hypocritically socializing. Angelina hated this.

Thinking of this, she let out a sigh. She was a princess and sometimes she couldn't help it.

Just as she was in a trance, a magnetic voice rang out beside her, "The beautiful lady, may I invite you to a dance?"

Angelina turned around and saw a tall, handsome man in front of her, extending his hand to her.

The man's appearance was surprisingly similar to Alan's, but he had dark hair and black eyes, a charming smile on his lips. He wore a purple shirt with a gold silk vest.

Angelina was in a bit of a trance. The smell of his body carried a hint of fresh pine fragrance that tugged at her heartstrings, and god forbid, she handed out her hand, "Sure."
