~Chapter 100~ “Why are you here at this hour?” It was surprising to see Richard, since I couldn’t meet him in the mornings. He was always so busy, I only saw him when we practiced dancing at dawn. “My brother said I should rest on the day of the engagement party. No training or investigations.” “The Crown Prince is right. You’re a workaholic.” “You look pretty busy too.” Richard walked up to the bed and looked at my face, then chuckled. With a sticky green face mask on, I must…- 1.2 M • Completed
- ~Chapter 99~ Richard left the Crown Prince’s palace and looked up at the rainy sky. The cold air brushed against his cheek. Maybe it was because of the sudden rain, but it was more likely because autumn was at its peak. With the missing person case and now the investigation about the Kingdom of Minume, he had been so busy he didn’t even notice the season. He even forgot, sometimes, that the engagement celebration was tomorrow. Has it already been half a month since the engagement? Thinking about…

- ~Chapter 98~ “Oops. Sorry.” I messed up the steps and stepped on Richard’s foot again. Was this the eighth time already? In the time it took for three songs to play, I’d stepped on his foot that many times. At first, Richard just laughed, but now his face was getting serious. “You… really have no talent for dancing.” When the music stopped, he spoke coldly. “The songs all have the same rhythm. You should be getting used to it by now. Why are you still getting your feet mixed…

- ~Chapter 97~ How many hours has it been already? Richard looked at his pocket watch during the endless meeting. Every time the Thanksgiving Festival came around, the Imperial Central Council would poke into every matter and complain. “Since Viender’s beginning was with the great Lord Elion, the Thanksgiving Festival must—” “That’s enough. I understand what you’re saying, so let’s stop here.” Bastian cut off the man who was repeating the same thing again. He was also sick and tired…

- ~Chapter 96~ “Amelie—!” “Lysa!” As soon as Lysa came into the parlor, she ran up and hugged me tightly. She had just come back from a trip to another country, so it had been a while since I saw her face. I was really happy to see her again. “Should we sit down, Lysa? You must be tired after morning training.” “Yeah, let’s sit! I just held onto you because I was so happy to see you.” Lysa let go of me, looking a little sad, and sat on the sofa. Sophia, who had brought us tea,…

- ~Chapter 95~ There were two desks in the room where Richard and I stayed, so we could both work there. It was late afternoon. After my bridal class, I came back and saw a wooden box on my desk. “What is this?” I asked Richard, who I hadn’t even noticed was in the room, where the box came from. He was sitting on the sofa, looking through documents. “They’re counseling requests addressed to you. The counseling center staff collects them and gives them to my aide before they leave for the…

- ~Chapter 94~ “Is it really okay to make a hole… in the palace wall like this?” I stared blankly at the workers. A hole was being made in one wall of Richard’s bedroom, and it was getting bigger and bigger. “It’s because His Highness the Prince ordered it.” “What is Richard even thinking…?” “He’s probably worried about leaving you alone in your room. If he’s that concerned, he could just combine your rooms officially.” Melona sometimes said shocking things so casually. I…

- ~Chapter 93~ Why my eyes…? I didn’t even realize what was happening, but my instincts made me close my eyes. Puk—! “Aagh!” Right after, I heard a short, sharp sound and then a scream.I couldn’t see, but I knew right away that it was the maid who had been helping me bathe. I realized instantly that she was trying to hurt me. If Melona hadn’t come in, would I have died? Suddenly, the back of my neck felt cold and I got chills all over. “Your Highness, are you okay?” I didn’t…

- ~Chapter 92~ “Your Highness the Princess, it is an honor to meet you.” It was early afternoon when Madam Eins visited the Prince’s Palace, just as scheduled. Melona had told me that Madam Eins was once called the queen of the social world. And she really did prove it—her every movement was graceful and refined. “It’s an honor for me too, Madam Eins. Thank you for coming such a long way.” “Not at all, Your Highness. When I heard that the Crown Prince, who was famous for being picky as a…

- ~Chapter 91~ The road from the Prince’s Palace to the Crown Prince’s Palace was quiet and peaceful. I was supposed to go to lunch with Bastian together with Richard, but Richard’s training was running late, so I headed to the Crown Prince’s Palace first. “Miss Amelie, is it hard for you to walk? The wind is blowing a bit—are you cold?” Melona stuck close to my side, always checking on me. I was grateful she took care of me, but it was a bit much. “Melona… If walking this much or…
