Just as I was gonna rot in the couch again, typical Tuesday, one of my maids came up to me and handed me a letter
I didn't recognize the seal for a second then i realizes it was the Royal seal, so I straight up open it and read it's message, It was from the crown prince yesterday, which I accidentally casts aside
The Emperor wants me to meet up with Alistair in the Imperial Garden to talk about our marriage which will happen in two weeks, which is after my debut, and the date of our meeting is tomorrow.
I sigh, throwing the piece of paper aside, gosh.. I never really had to worry about politics in the past.. I can't say I haven't thought of something like.. 'I wish I'm born a noble lady and all I have to worry is what kind of dress I shall wear next and what kind of man I'm gonna marry..'
And now, I wish what keeps my mind occupied is how to survive, how to not get hungry
The next morning, I dressed up nicely, a spring pallete dress and had my hair tied up
I walked through the palace with a butler guiding me on the way of the huge halls
As I walk passed by, I couldn't help but feel fascinated by the walls, how smooth and clean they look, the vases that I can catch my reflection on
The roses adored in bloody red color and fully bloomed, with a bit of pearls attached to it to make it more shiny
It feels like I'm dirtying the white floor and blue carpet with my bloody past
As he walked me through the other side of the palace, I was met with table for two, chairs and tables whiter than me, and teacups that looks untouched, I sat on one of the chair, noticing the desserts
Macarons, Éclairs, Fruit tarts, Cheesecake, Chocolate mousse, Panna cotta, Tiramisu, Crepes, Meringue, Fruit salad.
I looked at the Rose garden, waiting for the second prince, he's not even a gentleman, making his future wife wait for him
Minutes passed and I started eating some lemon tart, I looked over the garden or the entrance of the garden, still no sign of him
Thirty minutes passed and I moved to the cheesecake, this was my second cup of tea already, and it even tastes as bland as those Royal's faces
An hour passed and I had enough, I stand up, telling the maid that I'm leaving
and I walked through the hall alone
"M'lady?" Sir Ron asks, suprised seeing me without an escort
I looked at him in suprised before saying,
"Is this our next time?"
I smiled
I didn't expect we'll meet again so soon,
