“I’ll give you flowers again tomorrow!”
“I don’t need it.”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t need it.”
You are still not good with words.
But now that I think about it, Cardin has never refused anything from me.
The Cardin I read was a person who wouldn’t respond if he wasn’t really interested.
“Then what should I give you? What do you like?”
“………You don’t need to. Why are you trying to give me something?”
“Because it’s good!”
I answered with a bright smile.
Cardin’s expression was grumpy, but I decided not to care about his expression now.
If he’s grumpy, I just need to get closer. Just like Reina did.
“I’ll be back tomorrow!”
At this point, I decided to part with Cardin.
I jumped down from the sofa and opened the office door. I didn’t forget to say bye to him before closing the door.
“Bye!”
She made eye contact with Cardin through the closing door and laughed once again.
He didn’t take his eyes off her until the door closed.
Soon the door was completely closed. Her steps back to the room were light.
“My name is Emeliette…..Hehe.”
Her footsteps were also on beat like a song.
She remembered the last time she saw Cardin’s face, and smiled.
The current situation was like a dream, when she first recalled her past life and was bullied for no reason by the servants.
Tomorrow is the time where she’s going to the garden with her nanny to make a bouquet of flowers.
“Princess.”
Someone called her from behind with a voice full of hostility.
When she looked back, a maid she saw for the first time was staring at her.
‘What is this?’
She stared at the maid. Since the garden incident, it has been a long time since she saw such evil-filled eyes.
The maid’s expression began to turn rough, perhaps because she didn’t like the way she stared.
“Princess must be happy to live these days.”
It was a very unadult way of speaking against a young child.
Moreover, this was a society where status existed. It was impossible for a servant to say such a thing to a princess of the dukedom.
She didn’t want to focus on the maid’s sarcastic tone, so she just looked at her quietly.
The maid raised her voice a little more, perhaps because she was choked up by her appearance.
“Do you know what happened to the maid who was with you in the garden?”
“Garden?”
The maid seemed to be referring to the maids who deliberately sprayed water on me and mocked me last time in the garden.
‘Is she a maid who is close to them?’
The maids were taken by knights ordered by Cardin. Probably in an underground prison.
“What’s wrong with that?”
She didn’t really understand, so she stared up at the maid.
The maids did something wrong. Isn’t it natural to be punished accordingly?
The person who did such a thing in her previous life was punished for child abuse.
She had no reason to receive such a look from the maid in front of her now.
“They’re dying in the dungeon right now!”
“Hmm. I see.”
“Ha ha, Isn’t the princess sad for those maids?”
“Oh, I don’t feel sorry for them.”
Upon hearing my refreshing answer, the maid looked alarmed at the moment. It felt like she was speechless.
But I didn’t really feel sorry for them.
For me, those maids were those who continued to harass young children to fill their sense of inferiority.
Of course, they are not the only maid. The same was true for the other servants who had neglected and ridiculed Cardin for the past two years when he was not in the duchy.
“The princess is really selfish.”
She was about to hit me.
Is it because she thinks I’m a child who doesn’t know anything? The maid was spitting out words beyond my limits.
“I can’t. You’ll have to see for yourself, so you’ll know. Come with me.”
The maid approached me and grabbed my arm.
I think she was trying to go to the dungeon and show the appearance of the trapped maids.
“What’s going on here?”
As soon as the maid tried to drag me away, I heard someone’s voice. Fortunately, I lost my strong grip thanks to this.
Looking at the back where I heard the voice, Elvin, who I saw in the smoke field today, was walking this way.
“Nothing, nothing. I was just fixing the princess’ clothes for a while because they were disorganized.”
I was amazed to see the maid speaking quietly in the opposite manner from when she came out.
If I were really a six-year-old child, I would have been frightened by the changing attitude in front of me and followed the maid’s words.
“See you again. Princess.”
Elvin nodded his head a couple of times at the maid’s words, and looked at me in secret.
“Hi. Elvin!”
“You remember my name.”
Elvin’s eyes grew a little bigger, and soon replied with a subtle smile.
“I met Papa earlier.”
“Papa….?”
“Yes. Papa Cardin!”
“Oh, you were talking about the Duke.”
“Yeah!”
Elvin’s eyes are bigger than before. His gaze at me contained a little favor and regret.
“You’ve grown up a lot since the last time I saw you.”
Elvin folded his knees and said, making eye contact with me.
“Did you see me?”
“Of course. Before leaving the duchy for subjugation, I always……. hmm to report to the duke.”
“Huh?”
“I just saw you growing up well often.”
He seemed awkward, but I pretended not to know.
Elvin probably visited me often when I was a baby but I don’t remember.
‘I’m going to ask when we get closer later.’
“But what were you doing here?”
“I was just on my way to my room after meeting Papa.”
A maid who missed the opportunity to leave was still seen standing next to her.
Elvin looked closely at such a maid.
“Where are you from?”
“I belong to the kitchen.”
“Aren’t you busy preparing dinner in the kitchen right now?”
“I had some business to do, but met the princess while I was just about to get off.”
The maid calmly brought it up. Her acting was excellent.
“Hmm, is that so?”
Elvin looked at me again with a slightly reluctant look. She didn’t have the ability to read minds, but he seemed to ask if that word was real.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“I see.”
I nodded and agreed with the maid.
It wasn’t for the maid. For later purposes, she chose to step back now.
“Then I’ll get going now.”
After saying that, the maid quickly disappeared in the opposite direction. She definitely said she belonged to the kitchen. I’m going to remember that.
“I’ll be on my way too. Elvin!”
“Yes, princess. I’ll see you next time.”
“Yes, bye!”
He waved greatly at Elvin, who was walking toward Cardin’s office.
“Hmm…..”
After leaving Elvin, she quickly turned her head as she went back to her room. Maybe the maid will get back to me.
It’s not just that maid. It’s quiet now, but the other maids could have done the same thing today in a place where nobody can see.
The nanny is also getting older and struggling, so I shouldn’t worry her anymore.
“I’m going to eat with Cardin tomorrow.”
I walked to the room promising for tomorrow with a determined heart.
* * *
“Papa. Here!”
“……”
I handed Cardin a bouquet of Eldora flowers. Cardin, who received the bouquet, looked unhappy.
“I said I don’t need flowers.”
“Why? It’s pretty. I went to the garden with my nanny today.”
“I thought so.”
Cardin’s gaze fell on my hand for a while.
“Papa.”
“Why?”
“Are you busy?”
Cardin looked down at me while holding a bouquet of flowers. Being with the flowers, it was like a wonderful masterpiece.
Of course, his grumpy expression was a negative factor.
“Why are you curious about that?”
“I’m just curious!”
Oh man. It’s really hard to hear an answer. I asked once again.
“Are you busy or not busy.”
“…I’m not busy.”
“That’s good. Let’s go eat together.”
I purposely came in time for lunch.
When Cardin said he was not busy, his grumpy face looked a little pretty.
“Let’s go to the dining room.”
“Hehe. Woong!”
I left the office and headed to the restaurant with Cardin.
Wanting to get closer, she grabbed Cardin’s sleeve and shook it back and forth.
“What are you doing?”
“Just-. Let’s go!”
“Don’t shake it.”
“I got it, I got it.”
No way. I hurried to the dining room, urging Cardin.
As I approached the dining room, the smell that stimulated my appetite came to my nose.
Come to think of it, this was the first place I saw Cardin. It’s really a major development.
Look at this! Cardin, who is calmly giving out his sleeves.
My heart was naturally overwhelmed.
“Wow…”
Entering the restaurant, there were dishes that made me drool just by looking at them. Until now, I have never seen such a feast.
However, enjoying food had to be postponed to the next opportunity. I didn’t come here to eat today.
There were many familiar faces among the people preparing food.
‘As expected, they’re here.’
Since I was sitting facing Kardin, I turned my head forward and our eyes met right away.
‘I’m sorry, Papa. I don’t think we can eat together today.’

I smiled once at Cardin.
“Wow. There’s someone here who was trying to take me to th dungeon yesterday. Oh! The man who only gave me hard bread for dinner last time, too! Even the lady who didn’t give me firewood to warm my room in the winter!”
“Everyone’s here. It’s amazing! Hi!”
After saying that, I smiled with a bright face.
In the dining room where the silence fell, the food that was just served was cooling down.
