Cherryna was interrupted by Rosie before she could say anything to me. I rolled my eyes and stared at Rosie.
“Enough, stop it. Your Highness, the Crown Princess, Evelyn. It seems you’ve forgotten while you’re here, but what did you say I need to do to eat candy?”
“……Candy?”
“Yes. Candy. You said I had to behave well to eat candy….”
“I don’t like candy!!”
What a ridiculous thing to say. Just seeing candy was enough to make me feel sick.
My dark history.
The jar of candy Cerden had sent me was now rolling under the bed.
Just the sight of candy reminded me of that red drool that used to fall from Cerden’s hand…….
Ugh! It came to mind again!
“But you said you liked candy!”
“I don’t like candy! You eat it!”
Cherryna and Rosie exchanged bewildered glances. Then Rosie turned to me, her voice low and tinged with a strange expression.
“……Then how about cookies?”
Rosie’s brown eyes were darkened with a sinister glint. Her lips curled up in a way that looked downright malicious.
That damn cookie.
The cookie that killed the Empress and Lady in the novel. Duke Spelman used Evelyn to feed them poisoned cookies consistently.
So they could die slowly, quietly.
“I love cookies.”
I replied with a bright smile.
“Right? I’ll give you cookies, so how about you share them with Lady and Empress? They’ll also take good care of Evelyn.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Excuse me?”
“They’re all mine. Evelyn will eat them all. Well, I’ll give some to Rosie and Cherryna. Because we’re friends!”
Anyway, I wouldn’t die no matter how many cookies I ate. Only the Empress and Lady would be affected by the poison in the cookies.
Now that I had resolved to prevent the dark plot from unfolding, I had no intention of bringing those cookies to the Empress and Lady. They had to survive, no matter what.
I couldn’t pull the trigger for the dark plot.
The maids stepped back, looking flustered. They probably didn’t want to eat the poisoned cookies. How wicked of them. It’s fine to feed others, but they’re scared to eat it themselves?
“What’s this? Aren’t Rosie and Cherryna Evelyn’s friends? Aren’t you going to eat the cookies? Aww, that makes Evelyn sad. If you’re not friends, you can’t stay here with Evelyn.”
Cherryna and Rosie looked at me as if they wanted to hit me.
Why, what? I warned them internally. Whatever you’re thinking, it won’t be easy at all.
“If you’re not going to eat the cookies together, then leave. I want to be alone. We’re not friends anymore. We can’t be together.”
“No! I like cookies too!”
“Of course! I love cookies a lot!”
I had to keep a close eye on what they were doing from now on. Since they failed to feed me cookies, they would surely try another method. Whatever that may be.
From their reactions, it seemed they thought I wouldn’t understand anything they said in front of me.
That meant they were feeling at ease and letting their guard down around me.
Which was actually a good thing for me.
Cherryna and Rosie prepared cookies, shared them with me, and after reading the storybook smeared with drool ten times, they finally let me go. Their faces were pale as they left.
Tsk. They’ve never taken care of a five-year-old. Tomorrow, I’ll show them even more hellish parenting.
“Don’t you think Evelyn has changed a bit while we were gone?”
Rosie chewed her lips.
“What do you mean?”
Cherryna replied as she lay back on the bed.
“I think she’s the same. Still begging to play.”
“……Is that so?”
“She’s just being sensitive. It wasn’t easy to get in here. Plus, there’s work to do. Ugh. When will I find out the guard shift times? That little one won’t let me rest.”
Cherryna grumbled, rubbing her face against the pillow. Duke Spelman was constantly looking for opportunities to attack the Crown Prince.
The remarkable thing is that he had never been caught doing it. In front of the Emperor, he pretended to be a loyal subject worried about the empire.
“I’m more afraid of disobeying Duke Spelman’s orders.”
“Ah.”
Rosie shivered.
“Let’s take turns starting tomorrow. We need to buy as much time as possible.”
“If possible, let’s try that.”
Rosie and Cherryna made a resolution. Since they had come in with a heavy mission, they had to do something. Before Duke Spelman’s hammer fell upon them.
Duke Spelman was strict even with those who followed him. He could always remove them and replace them with others.
In fact, Evelyn wasn’t that big of a problem. That’s what Rosie and Cherryna thought.
Until the next day when they were caught by Evelyn.
I blinked and clutched Cherryna’s skirt.
“Why?”
“What?”
“Why do I have to eat this? Why?”
“……Well, um. Aren’t you hungry?”
“No. Evelyn is hungry. But why do I have to eat this?”
“……Then eat something else.”
“Why?”
Cherryna’s lips trembled.
Have you ever heard of the ‘why’ hell? It’s a disease that every child in the world goes through at least once. The time when everything becomes curious and you want to know everything.
“Then eat it. It’s good for you.”
Rosie interjected. It was a punishable act to do this when there was a quality meal available, but it was fun to do.
I understand why the kids act like this.
“Why is it good for me?”
“……It’s just good for you.”
“Why is it just good?”
“It says in the book that it’s good for your eyes….”
“Why is it good for my eyes?”
I opened my eyes wide and asked, laughing innocently. Cherryna and Rosie looked like they were about to go crazy.
For the past thirty minutes since Cherryna and Rosie arrived and we started lunch, we had been repeating ‘why.’
You may have come here to kill the Empress and Lady, but in return, your blood will dry up and die.
I’m very confident.
“Why aren’t you answering? Why?”
Are you going crazy?
Are you really pissed off?
Are you feeling frustrated?
At that moment.
Rozalina was calming her mind before her long-awaited return to the palace. She barely managed to compose her expression, which was filled with deep jealousy and anger.
She couldn’t let Cerden catch her showing such ugly emotions.
Rozalina pressed down on her left breast.
‘It’s a relationship that won’t last long anyway. That damned girl, how long will she stay in that position? She’s just a clueless fool.’
Was there anyone in this world who didn’t know about the burden of the Duke Spelman family? Moreover, Young Duke Spelman acted as if his sister didn’t exist.
As if he were the only one of Spelman’s bloodline.
Who would recognize a woman denied even by her own family as Empress?
She would soon be chased out of the palace, and the vacant position would rightfully belong to her as originally promised.
Rozalina believed that without a doubt.
Click-clack.
As Rozalina walked with soft footsteps, she encountered a man coming from the end of the hallway. Rozalina’s expression turned surprised before she gently greeted him.
“Hello, Mortega.”
Rozalina smiled kindly. Mortega was a man who worked as the Crown Prince’s aide.
And he was the one who always encouraged her, saying she would become the Crown Princess.
As long as her beautiful appearance didn’t fade, he would probably always be on her side.
She could see Mortega’s cheeks subtly flushing at her smile.
It wasn’t for nothing that Rozalina was called the swan of high society.
“It’s been a while, Lady Rozalina. I imagine you must have been quite heartbroken due to the events in the royal family. Nevertheless, thank you for responding to Your Highness, the Crown Prince’s call.”
Mortega said, fawning over her.
He didn’t even realize that what he was saying was undermining the Crown Prince’s prestige.
To refuse the Crown Prince’s call for no reason? Moreover, Cerden was now regarded as a war hero. A figure loved by the entire nation.
Thanks to that, even Spelman’s fool was avoiding criticism and receiving love.
The Crown Prince was now packaged as a romanticist of the century, capable of covering for his wife’s shortcomings. Thanks to the successful public relations from Spelman.
Rozalina smiled sadly.
‘Right. You foolish one. How nice it would have been if you had done well before such things happened. I could have seen you, whom I love dearly, every day.’
Rozalina hid her true feelings and lowered her gaze. With her pure and delicate atmosphere, she appeared even more fragile.
“Enough, stop it. Your Highness, the Crown Princess, Evelyn. It seems you’ve forgotten while you’re here, but what did you say I need to do to eat candy?”
“……Candy?”
“Yes. Candy. You said I had to behave well to eat candy….”
