Chapter 896 My Legs Are Sore, Alexander

Half an hour later, Prince Caleb and Princess Diana arrived at Smith Co.'s fashion show. As the doorslowly opened, they entered while holding hands and found a seat in the back row. After they wereseated, they calmly watched the runway models do their catwalk.

At that moment, among the organizers, Danny sneaked toward Alexander and whispered, “Theroyals are here, Alexander.”

Hearing his words, Alexander appeared to be at ease. “There's no need to rush. We'd look like cheapstakes if we appeared desperate.”

“You're right.” Then, Danny calmed down soon after.

After all, nothing would go wrong if Elise decided to get involved. Hence, they didn't move an inch.It was only after the show had ended that they walked toward the royals, who were registering topurchase the showcased garments.

“Greetings, Prince Caleb and Princess Diana. I apologize for not coming sooner to greet you two.”As Alexander spoke, he bowed in courtesy as a token of apology.

“No need for formalities.” Prince Caleb was in a good mood, so he waved Alexander off andchanged the subject, saying, “Today's show was splendid, Mr. Alexander. Your designs are indeedstunning.”

“I appreciate your appraisal, Prince Caleb. However, this honor should be given to the greatestdesigner, Amy. It's quite a shame to say that we couldn't learn a tad of her thoughts and creativity.”Alexander intentionally raised Elise’s status as he spoke.

“I've got to say so myself. Amy is a rare gem in this industry. I hope that I can see her masterpieceagain during this trial.” Prince Caleb agreed with his words. Then, he changed the subject as hepointed toward the grand finale’s design. “Speaking of which, although the design of this dress isclearly based on Amy's design, it looked more beautiful. Can I know who the designer is?”

Hearing his words, Alexander chuckled deeply and said awkwardly, “To be honest, this design is justa doodle from my wife and daughter. The reason I create this dress is just for a memorial and tomake them happy. However, I never expected that it would catch your attention. It's such asurprise.”

"Oh, yeah? No wonder there is a bunny pin in the front. Your daughter must be a lovely princess.Would you mind if you introduce them to us?” Princess Diana inquired expectantly.

“It's my honor.” Then, Alexander turned around and waved at Elise, who was waiting not far away.Soon, Elise held Alexia’s hand, and they both came to Alexander's side.

“Good evening, Prince Caleb and Princess Diana.” Elise beamed as she spoke in delight.

“How are you, sir and madam?” Alexia was being playful and greeted them in Flutoian.

“I'm fine. Thank you.” Princess Diana crouched down and cupped Alexia’s cheeks adoringly. Shelooked at her gently and said, “It's amazing that you know how to speak Flutoian. Are you the onewho designed this dress?”

“Yes! Mommy is the lead designer, while I'm the co-designer. This is my first design, and I'm proudof myself.”

“I'm proud of you too. You are so cute.” Princess Diana was in love with the adorable child.

After that, the royals exchanged glances and decided to buy the design of the dress

"If this dress is indeed up your alley, you can just take it. Talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.The encouragement you guys gave to Alexia isn't something money can buy.” With just a fewwords, Elise had turned this business into a favor.

"Oh, my! You are a wonderful mother.” As Princess Diana heard her words, she was touched andtook the initiative to embrace Elise. “Listen, I don’t know if we can have the honor of having dinnerwith you all. I want to know more about you, the future Mrs. Griffith, and spend more time with ourtalented little designer. Shall we?"

“It's our pleasure.” Elise nodded. “There is a Cittadel food street not far from here. Why don’t wechat as we have some food? I bet you guys will have an unforgettable night after tasting thedelicacies of Cittadel.”

After that, Alexander, Elise, and Alexia became tourist guides as they accompanied the royals for thenight. Although Alexander was the one being the guide, Elise’s legs had still ached from walking inhigh heels all night long. After she had returned home, she threw her heels to the side and slumpedon the couch.

“My legs are sore, Alexander!” she shouted.

As soon as Alexia entered the house, she immediately grabbed her tablet and played games on thecouch. On the other hand, Alexander entered the bathroom after he had taken off his shoes andjacket. When he came out, he was holding a tub of hot water.

As Elise was zoning out while looking at the ceiling, she felt that Alexander was touching her feet,but she was too lazy to budge. It was only when her feet were soaked in warm water that shesnapped out of her trance and got up. Then, she saw him kneeling on the rug as he put her feet inthe tub. Then, she subconsciously jerked, but Alexander noticed it and grabbed ahold of her feet. Atthat moment, her face was red from embarrassment. After all, even when they had been togetherfor so long, she still felt shy about having him take care of her.

“This is not what I meant..."

“Be good now. It won't feel nice if the water turns cold.” When Elise heard Alexander's voice, she feltlike there was magic in his voice as she slowly relaxed and allowed him to move her feet.

While Alexander was massaging her feet, he mumbled to himself, saying, “It seems to have swelled.If you have to wear a long dress in the future, you can just wear sneakers instead. Don't hurt yourown feet.”

Hearing his words, Elise felt her lips forming into a smile. “If people were to know that the richestman in Cittadel is being treated like this at home, they would have assumed that I'm a shrew.” Shecouldn't help but joke with the man.

“You are not a shrew. Even if you are one, I'm happy to oblige.” As he spoke, he slowly massagedcircles around her legs. Slowly, he started playing with her legs.

"Hey! That tickles!” Elise bent down and tried to push him away. Just as she was near him, he leanedcloser and kissed her on the lips. Before she could react, Alexander had already leaned back. Hence,she could only hit him in the shoulder as revenge. “Alexia is here!”

However, Alexander ignored her words and pretended to wash her feet properly.

When Alexia saw their actions, she threw her tablet aside and lay down like Elise. Then, she imitatedElise’s voice and whined, “My legs are sore, Alexander.”

When the couple heard her voice, they turned their heads in sync and saw Alexia lying on her backwhile her legs were lifted straight up in the air.

At that moment, Elise was dumbfounded by her actions and asked, “What are you doing, Lexi?"“Isn't this how Daddy will then wash my feet?” Alexia asked innocently.

When the couple heard her words, they looked at each other and felt awkward. At that moment,Irvin walked past just in time. Then, Alexander quickly called out to him, saying, “Irvin, your sister istired. Come and help massage her feet.”

"Okay," Irvin replied and walked into the room.
