Chapter 88 (1/2)

Translator: HH Editor: HH

I put Jannette’s letter back down. This time, I wasn’t going to write a reply right away and write it later in the evening.

In our letters, we didn’t talk about anything important, just about our daily lives. And because we couldn’t leave our residences, her at the Duke’s, and me in the Emerald Palace, there wasn’t much to talk about.

I didn’t plan on exchanging letters with her for this long, but this was more fun than I expected.

It was like when I saw her face to face. She broke through my walls of doubt that I had for her.

The emotions I felt towards her changed. If I used to pity her before, now I probably….

“Having nothing to do is making me think all kinds of thoughts.”

I lightly slapped my two cheeks and popped up from my spot.

In our letters, we were writing about our daily lives, but Jannette sometimes discussed her aunt in them.

Jannette’s aunt should’ve been dead, according to <Lovable Princess>. She was the one who placed her at the Duke’s residence.

Jannette was using Margarita as her last name, so when she was discussing her aunt, she said she was ‘someone like her family.’ But I could tell she was talking about Countess Rosaria in her letter.

Jannette said she was coming up to the capital soon, and couldn’t hide her excitement. Of course she was happy, because she was finally getting to meet her only blood related family.

However, I couldn’t be happy for her. Because the moment I read that in the letter, I couldn’t help but suspect why she was coming up. Was she planning something? In the book, she had arrived at the capital during this time for Jannette, too.

But it was different in that in the story, Jannette had already successfully finished her debutante ball and entered the palace.

Whatever it was, it wasn’t as fun reading Jannette’s letters anymore.

“Ah, the weather’s nice.”

As soon as I left the palace I covered my eyes with my hands from the Sun. Obelia was a land with only summer and spring, so it was warm all year long, although it was unnaturally hot and rained a lot.

“You’ve arrived, Princess.”

The familiar garden filled with white roses entered my vision.

Whenever I moved, I was always by myself because Felix wasn’t by my side and I only stayed in the Emerald Palace.

I quickly got used to it, and although the maids were surprised at first, they got used to it too.

“If there’s anything you need, please call for me.”

“Thank you, Ces.”

I thankfully smiled and she left, making the same face Lili made earlier. But she probably wasn’t that far off, ready for whenever I called her.

I bitterly licked my lips as I passed through the roses bushes.

Sigh. Everyone was making those faces whenever they saw me these days.

I couldn’t help but become anxious seeing that face. But I probably would’ve made the same reaction if I saw someone in the same situation as me.

I sighed and looked at the table in front of me filled with desserts I enjoyed. It was filled with more chocolate desserts than normal, so they probably took some extra care this time.

Ces was a cold person but always warm to me, hehe.

I spent a moment being touched, and raised the cup of tea to my lips.

Lili and the other maids seemed concerned that I spent too much time alone.

But in this world, you had to live by yourself. Eat by yourself, drink by yourself. It was totally nice, not having to worry about others, especially since I could eat all these cookies by myself!

And wasn’t the view of the garden too nice to stop coming here because of Claude? To stop coming here would be so unfair!

Also, the Emerald Palace was the only property I owned in the entire Palace. And even he acknowledged that it was mine since he confined me here. Look at this. I happily gobbled up the desserts on the table. All I was doing was eating and sleeping these days, but they were still worried that I was becoming thin.

Swish.
