Alicia smiled. This was the first time she met Vanessa"s father but she could tell by how he treated her that he would do anything for his daughter. "Mmmm… Father, be careful of Prime Minister Brisks… The reason Nora got hurt was because they wanted to use her to get to me. That pervert has been trying to get me to fall for him for a while now. I think the Prime Minister wants to put his son on the throne." The King of Pordlia took in a deep breath. He had no idea this was going on. But now that he knew that it was he could not turn a blind eye to it. "Preposterous! That b.a.s.t.a.r.d is no were even close to being good enough for my daughter! The Prime Minister already tried to get me to sanction a marriage between the two of you but I outright refused. That idiot can"t even count to two with that brain of his. How could he help my daughter rule our great Prodlia Kingdom that your mother"s family worked so hard to create! But now I see… It seems it is time to change prime ministers… I never realized that he was so scheming that he would do these kinds of things behind my back to try to gain access to the royal line."
Seeing how angry the King of Pordlia was Alicia quickly tried to pacify him. "Royal Father if you continue to be this angry you will fall ill. How about this… let your daughter handle the two of them. As you now know I am not so easily bullied. I will make it so that the two of them will expose their evil plans. This way when you bring up expelling the prime minister in front of the courts you will not need to deal with any n.o.ble who might back him. Also, Royal Father, can you announce Nora as your adopted daughter, the Second Princess of Pordlia. The t.i.tle can at least protect her and allow me to keep my little sister safe..."
"Fine we will do things your way. If I were to outs him right away it would turn into a bit of a problem. But you will need to go over everything with me in fine detail on what you plan to do. As for this little girl. " The King of Pordlia turned and looked at Nora. "Can you promise to always stay loyal to my daughter? Never be swayed by greed or power?"
Nora was given a start when the King of Pordlia turned his attention to her. "Ahh!? Yes your majesty! Princess…"
"Not Princess! Big Sister!" Alicia cut in.
" Big Sister… Has given me great care these past few days. If it was not for Prin… Big Sister, I might have been dragged off by Julio and might have had something else done to me besides just a bruise on my arm… So even if I have to give up this life of mine I would be willing." Nora had no hesitation in the words as she spoke. She cared not for any kind of special treatment or power. She only cared about returning the favor Alicia had shown her in kind and do whatever she could to support Alicia.
"Good answer! From this day forward you will be my daughter"s closest aide and will help and support her from now on and also, From this day forward you will be known as Nora Pordlia the Second Princess of Pordlia!"
"Thank you Your Majesty!" Nora bowed her head. Tears dripped from her eyes. Her life as a servant was now different. She could follow the Princess she had always looked up to right by her side and help her whenever she needed it. Not as a servant but as her sister.
"Nora, it"s not Your Majesty but Royal Father from now on. Go ahead and try and say it." Alicia poked at Nora"s side.
"Oh… I"m sorry… Ro-Ro-Royal Father..." Nora blushed as she said these words. She never thought she would have such a day.
"Good! I will announce her during this evening"s court session. This should hamper that b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s plans a bit. You two girls have fun. I will send a maid here later to take Nora"s measurements to get her fitting clothes. And Venessa..." The King of Pordlia looked warmly at Alicia, "You have made me proud."

Later in the evening in the Prime Minister"s home within his study the sound of gla.s.s being smashed on to the floor could be heard down the hallway. "You stupid idiot! Look what happened! Now that little maid, our key to the little b.i.t.c.h was adopted by the king all because his daughter wanted a little sister! And this all stemmed from you trying to drag her away! What happened with coaxing the little girl to follow you!?"
"Father this is what you complain about? What about my teeth? Are you going to let that little b.i.t.c.h go after destroying your son"s feature? There is no way that the Princess will look at me now!" Julio was so mad he wanted to run to the Princess"s bedroom while she was sleeping and turn her into his woman!
"So what if you lost your teeth. You have screwed up big time this time! But there is still a chance. Now that it has come down to this. You will take the Princess chast.i.ty and make her your woman by force. But I will need to come up with a plan in order to do this without the king knowing. For now just stay low. You will get your revenge when you take it out on her body."
