NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 77.2
Recap:
“Your Highness has acted in a way that will be problematic for the two of you. I can’t believe you are acting in this manner in front of so many people that are keeping an eye on you. Do you enjoy the controversy?
“That can’t be possible. Marquise Austell just requested an audience, so I accepted it.”
The princess’s eyes suddenly blazed like a pink pearl, as if she were declaring a fight. Nevertheless, her face was full of laughter.Both were stubborn enough not to step down, so I had no choice but to intervene and stop the situation.
“You two, calm down.”
“I will do it only for you.”
answered the princess in a gentle manner.
Mrs. Lovtree remained silent as well, possibly feeling defeated when I stepped forward.
Mrs. Lovtree let out a quiet sigh.
“I guess I should go and take a rest. I’m feeling worn out.”
Mrs. Lovtree gave me a wink as she looked at me.
It was a cue for me to go after her.
“Well, please get some rest Mrs. Lovtree. By the way, Mrs. Austell, there is something I want to share with you. I missed you so much that I would sneak out like this, but will you make time for me?”
Despite the friendly voice, words came out that were difficult to refuse.
However, I also wanted to discuss something with the princess.
When I looked at Mrs. Lovtree, she nodded, pretending not to intervene.
Even she was still frowning her brows.
Be cautious not to attract attention from others.
Mrs. Lovtree obediently turned around.
As she gestured, the maids who followed like shadows stood behind her.
It was an angular movement like a soldier, incomparable to Sena’s.
Mrs. Lovtree sat in carriage and drove along the street.
When she disappeared, the air on the street felt lighter.
‘I can finally breathe a little easier.’
When I Let out a light sigh, the princess burst into laughter.
“You must be burdened by your mother, right?”
“Certainly, she’s a picky person.”
“That’s how I feel it too.”
The princess happily responded and took me in her direction.
It was a
tavern
. Then the princess whispered, pointing to a door surrounded by ivy.
“Go in first. I’ll be in in five minutes.”
“You enter first. In a few moments, I’ll be there.”
After nodding, she walked away immediately.
The workers discreetly led me into the
tavern
as I entered.
There was no one in the
tavern
.
‘Did the princess left it vacant beforehand?’
If it wasn’t for the princess, it wouldn’t have been so idle in the afternoon when it would normally be busiest.
It’s decour is gorgeous and also neatly done.
I thought it was odd, but I followed the worker’s instructions first.
That worker guided me to another room inside the tavern.
And then closed the door and went out.
After a while, the princess arrived.
As soon as she entered the room, she said.
“As I said earlier, I met the Marquis during the day. I have something to talk about with you closely on that matter, would that be okay?”
Her eyes went to my hand.
This is the precise spot where Asellus had me wear the braclet.
I am sure he is not gonna spy on me again.
‘But should I remove my bracelet in case something happens?’
I gave it some thought, but Asellus could misinterpret.
Asellus already blamed himself for my illness, I didn’t want to bring him more distress.
I shook my head.
“It’s okay. Asellus promised he wouldn’t eavesdrop again.”
The princess inquired while smiling warily.
“What if the Marquis lie?”
“You noticed his presence last time too. Is that still the case now?”
The princess looked surprised at my reply.
The princess eyes which had a gentle glow, became even bigger and sparkled.
After much thought, she shook her head.
“…I can’t feel anything right now.”
“Asellus kept his promise.”
The princess nodded after being confirmed.
After that, there was an uneasy silence.
Why did the princess request to speak with me?
She was extremely quiet, considering she want to meet with me.
The princess seemed to be deep in thought.
In the end, I took the initiative first.
I made the decision to always express what I wanted to say while the silence was going on.
“Don’t you learn to control mana, princess? I know You will grasp everything quickly.”
“The Marquis does not treat me well,”
“Really? Have you tried to speak with him?”
“He didn’t even give me a chance to say anything.”
The princess smile was grim.
Bitterness was filled all over her face.
‘How in the world did this happen?’
Learning to control mana was crucial for the princess.
even if it means removing Austell’s curse in the future.
It will be easier to ask her to lift the curse if Asellus and her develop a Mentor-Apprentice Relationship.
It will also be simpler for her to handle the Magic Tower in the future.
I continued speaking in a slightly
jittery
voice.
