Rise of The Withered Flower

d out more when it comes to charm and all.

His enchanting emerald green eyes which he inherited from his mother were what shone the most apart from his friendly personality and all his perfect features.

Handsome? Whats the use of that when he is secretly rotten to the core? Eloria thought to herself while Rayan Varence stared at her with a little smile.

She didn hate cruel people. She despised sly people who hid their dark nature beneath a kind smile. In other words, she abhorred fake people, like Rayan Varence.

Though Rayan Varence was sitting on the chair right beside the General, the latter didn even spare him a single glance as if he was invisible! However, it didn affect the determined Fourth Prince at all.

Maybe she doesn know who I am, he inwardly told himself. Not to mention that he never thought it would be easy to attract the attention of the powerful General who was also the only daughter of the influential Camer family.

He was never the type to give up easily.

”General Eloria Camer, its an honor to finally see you. ” He maintained a formal tone while staring at the cold woman with a friendly smile still plastering his face. Maybe she was finally aware of his presence; she shifted her gaze in his direction and he noticed the slight confusion in her eyes.

It seemed like she really didn know him.

”May I ask who you are? ” Eloria composed herself in a formal way despite all the bitterness she felt on the inside. Her voice was still bland but Rayan Varence didn even seem to be offended by it.

He sure was determined.

”Oh! My apologies, General, ” he quickly said with that smile still on his face. If she was still that kind and naive Eloria from her past life, there was no way for her not to fall for him again!

Rayan Varence was that charming without his ugly inner side.

”Let me introduce myself, ” he said in a calm voice and cleared his throat as if he was feeling nervous. ”Im Rayan Varence. I really look forward to meeting you and it finally happens. ”

Just like he did in her past life, he didn mention his title as if to showcase how humble he was. Though his surname already proved that he was a royal by blood, he deliberately left out his title just to appear simple and modest.

It did work in her previous life and even now, she knew that he would already be paving the way to her heart if not for that agonizing memory she kept to herself for three long years!

Falling for his fake smile again? That won happen this time!

The General appeared as if she was trying to recall his name while Rayan Varence patiently waited. After a while, he saw her slightly raising her brows as if she finally recognized his name. Then she slightly lowered her head and looked up at him again.

”I apologize for not recognizing you, Your Highness. I hope you
e not offended. ”

She never felt a sense of loyalty towards the royal family as her aim was always to gain more power for her revenge to be perfect. However, she wasn foolish enough to show that. She should pretend and hid her claws, at least for now.

Rayan Varences smile grew a bit wider when he heard the General. ”I understand, ” he promptly said, putting on an act of a big-hearted royal who was different from others. ”After all, its our first time seeing each other. ” He lightly chuckled when he added, ”If I were to see you at another place before this, I don think I will be able to identify you too. ”
