“Follow me.”

After saying those words, the princess walked away with long strides.

As soon as we left the mansion, a carriage was ready.

“What are you doing, it’s not coming soon.”

“Yes, yes!”

The princess jumped onto the carriage without anyone’s help and gestured.

Anna had no choice but to get on the carriage as if she were possessed.

The space is spacious but narrow for a carriage.

‘Alone with the princess.’

The sweet scent of flowers wafted all the way up here.

The carriage stopped soon after.

“This is…”

It was a boutique that was all the rage among young ladies recently. There were an incredible number of customers for a boutique that opened less than two years ago.

“It’s not there.”

The princess passed away through the back door, not the front door, which was crowded with customers.

‘…Can I come in here?’

Even though I entered through the back door, the clean interior stood out. Although the employees were busy, they bowed their heads when they saw the princess.

“Everyone, take care of your work. I came as a guest today.”

A female employee began to guide us.

“These are new works that have not been released yet.”

“Not bad.”

The princess who was touching the costume nodded. It was a luxurious, soft-looking material just by looking at it.

The princess turned around. And he came closer. Even the smallest gestures were so pretty.

“Do you have a favorite style?”

“Yes…? Well, that’s well…”

It was only then that Anna noticed. You want to buy me clothes. You shouldn’t waste the princess’s time. It was a time when I was looking around quickly with that thought in mind.

“You’re greedy.”

“Yes?”

The princess chuckled. Then he stretched out his long, thin arms.

“From here to there, everything is in the mansion.”

“Okay.”

“Shopping is finished. Let’s go.”

“Yes?!”

Anna was dumbfounded.

Afterwards, we had dinner at a nearby restaurant. It was a fried chicken dish that I had never tried before. It was very delicious. I heard that chicken dishes are popular in the capital recently, but I think this is it.

That wasn’t the only thing you could eat. As a dessert exclusive to this restaurant, I enjoyed a variety of sweet treats along with a cold snack called parfait.

A princess in front of you with delicious food…

It somehow felt like I was dreaming.

Time passed quickly.

Silence continued in the carriage again.

When he raised his head, the princess was looking at him. Even in the slightly dark carriage, the sparkling pink eyes felt dreamy.

By the time we arrived at the mansion, the princess opened her mouth.

“How to play. I told you because I thought you didn’t know.”

“…Yes?”

How to play… Yes, this is playing…

Outside, the princess, who had gracefully boarded the carriage, jumped down just as she had done the first time.

“It was quite fun.”

The princess walked lightly without listening to his answer.

“…Me too! It was fun!”

The princess was able to raise her voice barely before entering the mansion.

For some reason, I thought I heard the princess laughing.

* * *

‘What is this?’

Just thinking about that time made my heart feel warm.

The princess’s pretty smile. A gesture of walking away with great strides and looking back to see if he was following along. A white and pretty hand held out to me as I hesitated in the carriage. Even though quite a bit of time has passed, I remember it vividly.

“Hehe.”

Anna rolled around in bed.

The princess I saw this morning was also really cool.

‘My nose, my nose feels like it’s going to bleed…’ .’

Just stroking my head was so stimulating.

It was a small favor that the princess granted without much thought.

Actually, Anna noticed. No, I had no choice but to know. The contents of the contract were a cleverly packaged slave contract.

The man also said it. ‘If you can give everything for the princess, please sign.’

okay. He signed it knowingly.

And from that day on, I have never once regretted that choice.

* * *

Meanwhile, at that time, there was someone other than Anna who thought of Marian: Cecilia, the former first princess and current Countess Aeneas.

She was thinking about how to invite Marian.

‘Strange.’

Cecilia, who returned to Marian’s office, wandered around for a while feeling uneasy for no reason. Even though I took deep breaths and tried to calm down, it didn’t seem to get any better.

‘…Are you busy?’

She was about to throw hellfire at Cassano Delight’s mansion to wait for Marian, but when Marian did not return, she eventually left the office.

“As expected. Should I ask?”

After thinking for a while, she entered Maria’s office.

“Maria. Where did Marian go?”

“I don’t know, I don’t have it, go, go back, don’t come!”

A cold answer came from Maria’s mouth.

“I’m sorry, you have a lot of work to do right now…”

The aide apologized with a very regretful expression.

‘I expected it, but they still didn’t tell me.’

Well, even though they saw it at the Academy, they pretended not to see it, so they smiled at least perfunctorily in front of Marian.

“…I really look just like I did when I was young.”

Cecilia sighed deeply and walked away.

‘That’s…’

As Cecilia was wandering in front of the mansion, a young lady caught her eye.

Anna Amber. Was she Marian’s daughter…?

Even though it wasn’t the first time, it had changed enough to be difficult to recognize at a glance.

Although she had a small and cute appearance, her worn-out dress and dull hair had now… transformed into the appearance of a well-maintained noblewoman.

even.

“Uhehe… The princess is so cute… She’s cool and even pretty… Ah. It was soft…”

It was a laugh that was so heartbreaking that it was a bit bizarre.

Cecilia’s eyebrows twitched.

‘Princess…?’

Speaking of princess, Maria also said it, but based on her intuition, she was certain that the princess Anna was talking about was Marian.

* * *

[Lady. How should we deal with them?]

Nazar’s voice. It meant that they had secured new recruits for Baron Ember and Yeongsik.

I remember what Anna said.

‘I don’t want to see you again.’

My father is an alcoholic, and my brother is also addicted to gambling. It’s a family that looks like it was drawn from a painting.

The way to humanely recruit gambling addicts is very simple.

“I have to pamper myself.”

I smiled evilly.

“Send to the mine.”

[We will select and send it to a particularly difficult place.]

If Nazar had said that, it would really be like Aoji Coal Mine, a place where even sunlight is hard to see.

No, this isn’t what’s important right now.

“Partner…”

Pooh sigh. I exhaled.

‘Should I just drag the right guy along?’

At last year’s graduation party, Marianne didn’t have to worry about this because she didn’t go to the academy under the pretext of being inconvenient.

Continuing from last year, there were countless applications for English meals this year as well.

You can choose any one of them.

“Hmm…”

Seria… is not a place that stands out… I hate places with a lot of people.

Nadia… neither of them were academy students in the first place…

The only thing left naturally by the method of elimination was Cecilia.

Moreover, in the eyes of others, Cecilia is a man.

No matter how you think about it, it is reasonable.

“Yeah… reasonable. It’s reasonable, but…”

“Madam, this letter. No, what should I do with the works?”

I came to my senses after hearing Elaine’s words.

Before I knew it, I was flying paper airplanes with letters from Youngsik.

“Throw away.”

I have to go to bed early today.

* * *

“Wow, it’s Princess Marian.”

“Put it under your eyes quickly. Why are you looking at me like that?”

“No, you’re still pretty.”

“But that doesn’t mean you have to risk your life.”

After Cassano Delight appeared at the Academy with a large bouquet of flowers, the fear of Princess Marian among noble families reached its peak.

Yeongsik was the only one who wanted to confess to her as the time was right. To that extent. What would have happened if he had confessed? This was the thought that most Yeongsik had in mind.

The rumor that she made a mess of Yeong-sik when he came to confess and made him run away crying was famous.

‘I heard that the local lord Yeong-sik limped away.’

‘I heard they even stole a huge amount of money under the guise of alimony.’

‘I heard there were even black bruises on his face.’

‘What on earth did you do… hit me with those little hands?’

‘I don’t know. So it’s scarier, isn’t it?’

‘The rumor is that he did it simply because he was in a bad mood.’

‘I heard that Yeong-sik was quite handsome…’

‘Didn’t you say you were preparing a bouquet of flowers to confess to Princess Marian today?’

‘Wh-what. Aren’t you mistaken? A bouquet? ‘You are the one who does that.’

‘What do you mean, I already found a partner?’

* * *

‘hmm. It turned out to be a bit bigger than I thought.’

Cassano was driven out and Anna was made into a vassal, but the situation at the academy was not going well.

‘In the past, the people who showed respect to me because I was the duke’s daughter now run away as if they just saw a ghost.’

[Sorry for being so sudden, something urgent came up…]

When I think about the contents of the letter I received today, it doesn’t make sense. In short, due to urgent circumstances, I would like to cancel the partner offer sent to me. What do you mean?

I didn’t even think about who I would give rice cake to, but there were so many things to drink from kimchi soup.

‘Should I go with him too?’

Anna’s eyes sparkled in front of me as I pondered.

“I was moved by Princess Marian’s determination and charisma! It is right to ruthlessly get rid of Yeongsik, who is greasy, shiny, and even a playboy. But not everyone can do that! I have no idea where to go!”

When I glanced up at Anna, who was speaking quite sharply, unlike usual, she suddenly sucked in a breath.

“…Oh, anyway, if you need anything, please call me anytime!”

Even her ears were dyed bright red, and she greeted me repeatedly and then left the classroom as if running away.

‘you. It’s the same class as me…’

I shyly looked at the seat next to me. I even went as far as to go in to sit next to him.

No matter how I look at it, I don’t think he hates me… .

‘Am I scared… ?’

I don’t know because it’s my first time seeing that type.

When people around me cling to me, they cling to me, but when they run away like that.

‘… ‘I can’t say it doesn’t exist.’

Even now, the ladies were glancing at the seat next to me, but they couldn’t bring themselves to come closer.

‘… ‘Let’s go to class.’
