3. To Princess Jains, secretly… Marian fiddled with her maid's uniform. There was no better outfit for moving around comfortably inside the imperial palace. However, because of Cesare who kept asking around about Ellie, she disguised herself with a different appearance than before. "Going somewhere again today?" Abel, who recognized Marian at once, asked. By now, even seeing Abel wearing an apron and holding a frying pan had become familiar. He filled a bowl with tomato stew that he had…-

Though Abel didn't show it, he was inwardly surprised. Abel and Marian's thoughts matched exactly. 'I thought she was just a weak princess all this time.' That didn't seem to be the case. Abel, feeling better, rubbed Marian's cheek with his thumb. Abel asked affectionately. "What do you want for dinner? I'll make anything." ** Abel showed his skills at dinner as well. Rosette had to admit, albeit grudgingly, that Abel's cooking skills were better. After dinner, Marian took a bath…

Rosette glared at Liebe with eyes full of wariness. 'Is she openly advertising that she's the Empress's person?' Rosette gritted her teeth. It seemed she would need to call the palace guard dog. Such spies of the Empress should have been driven out long ago. "Well. Though Princess Marian called for me, I thought proper procedures would be needed, so I nudged my father a bit. Fortunately, the Lucerta merchant guild had connections to Her Majesty the Empress." Liebe explained gently. "So I…

'His Majesty must be desperate.' He knew the Emperor treated his daughter like a street courtesan, but to act this vulgar. "What brings you here today, Marian? His Majesty didn't mention the purpose of your visit." Cesare smiled slyly. He was curious how Marian would act. Marian used to look at Cesare with eyes full of expectation. She would speak to him with moist eyes, as if pleading. 'Are you busy this weekend, Cesare? I want to go sightseeing...... Won't you go out with me?' 'I'd…

Marian muttered in disbelief. Abel stood in front of the hearth, showing off his broad back. What was even more surprising was that the sight suited him better than expected. "What are you doing here?" Marian opened her eyes wide. Abel turned around with the frying pan in hand to look at Marian. The delicious smell of sizzling oil filled the kitchen. Marian glanced at the frying pan and asked bewilderedly. "What...... are you doing right now?" She truly hadn't thought there would be something…

The employees quickly disappeared after reading the situation. Marian sighed. This wasn't what she wanted when she followed him out. The very situation of receiving something from Abel made Marian feel burdened and guilty. Marian had imperial blood. Should someone like her receive Abel's generosity? "......You really don't have to. I have plenty of clothes to wear now. They're comfortable too...... We came out because you said you were hungry......" "Marian. This isn't because you need…

Meanwhile, there was someone else who couldn't sleep. Princess Jains stared at the window with anxious eyes. "Really, marriage......" Marriage, with a man she didn't even love. Princess Jains clenched her fists with eyes that looked ready to cry. Coming this far was absolutely not of her will. The King of Jains was a greedy person. 'The King of Federico will attack Lorenzo. How could an empire possibly lose to a kingdom? Besides, the empire has Princess Marian too. With a mage, what is there…

Led by a force she didn't understand, Rosette turned and walked down the corridor. Banished to the room farthest from Marian's bedroom, Rosette became trapped there. The nuisance was gone. Abel stared at Marian in his arms. "Did something scary happen?" "......The world is naturally scary, Abel. That's why things like this happen to you and me. Medicine that damages the womb… who would even think of such a thing." "So you're angry?" Abel asked gently. "......Benjamin must not become…

It was as if they could hear ice freezing. Abel glared at the head butler. "To Marian?" "Yes." It was a confirmation kill. Damage Marian's womb? The head butler revealed the truth without any hesitation. So they're bothered by the bloodline Marian might give birth to. "Is Marian taking that medicine?" Abel's gaze turned to Rosette. Rosette felt goosebumps rising all over her body. Rosette shook her head. It meant she had never put such medicine in anything. "N-Not yet. I heard…

She saw Liebe searching desperately for Marian, fearlessly returning. She saw Liebe holding the dead Marian and wailing. 'No, Your Highness! How can this be! Take me with you too. I want to go too!' She saw Liebe crying loudly like a child. She saw Liebe who truly mourned Marian's death and missed her. Because of her, Marian was not alone. Marian's eyes widened as she felt tears coming. All the hallucinations cleared and only the young Liebe remained. 'I won't leave you alone again,…
