'I really need to stay quiet.' At least they weren't wiped out like the Felicity family. Swallowing the surge of emotion, Reibella silently mourned for the young lady of the now-ruined Brown family. Then she quickly put another dessert in her mouth, intending to finish tasting swiftly. "Oh, right. I heard news about the young duke of Vicheravali." The princess's eyes widened at Michelle's words. Michelle nodded at the questioning look that seemed to ask if it was true. "Since Your Highness…-

"I like......" Reibella was about to answer "I like it!" as usual without thinking, but she hesitated and chose her words carefully. She had said she now knew he was His Grace the Grand Duke, so she had to change her way of speaking. "I just like it." At Reibella's answer, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. As if he couldn't understand. Right, it would be strange. Where else would you find someone who just smiles and says they like it even when treated coldly? Even she found it amusing as she…

Raniel answered the princess's question. "His Majesty the Emperor has issued a stern order to everyone to catch the culprit, so they'll be caught soon. Don't worry too much." Like Raniel said, the Emperor was very displeased due to the consecutive discoveries of poison around the princess. But unfortunately, the culprit won't be caught. Their identity will only be revealed in Part 2. 'Now, no more poison will be found.' The culprits caught 10 years later confessed that the past incidents were…

And the deep resignation she had seen when she first met him, the appearance of having given up everything, bothered her greatly. "I'm Reibella." So she introduced herself formally, albeit belatedly. And she decided to tell 'her story'. To make it a little easier for him, who had probably been confined since an even younger age and never mingled with people, to tell his own story. "I love reading books. There were many books in the house where I used to live. I liked biographies written by…

'If that's what you want... Alright. But His Majesty must also know about this.' Although she felt a bit reluctant about the fact that the emperor had to be informed of her meeting with the boy, Reibella nodded without showing it outwardly. 'Go with Sir Eden. The path is rough, so it would be difficult to go alone.' It meant he was assigning someone to watch her. Reibella accepted this willingly as well. It would be better than risking her life by arousing unnecessary suspicion from the…

"I should go now. It's time for food tasting." Reibella, who had given the perfect answer, stood up. Then he asked. "May I come back later?" "Do you have any more business with me?" "No, not really, but..." "Then, no." Reibella firmly shook her head. If there was no reason to avoid the knights anymore, she needed to go around and find out about the boy now. If he was a fanatic of the princess and wanted to make time to talk about her, she really wanted to refuse. Moreover, earlier,…

'So I'm under suspicion?' If not, there's no reason they'd be looking for me with such an ominous atmosphere, right? 'What if they really misunderstood?' Revealing the existence of the antidote herb would clear up the misunderstanding, but I didn't want to do that. If its existence became known, another poison that nullifies the effects of the antidote herb would be created. I couldn't guarantee safety if I were to be poisoned for real later. 'Ah. I don't know. Let's just pretend I don't…

'...It's a mess.' I thought it was chaotic from afar, but up close, it was even more hopeless. A child crying constantly, disliking the unfamiliar environment; a child angrily bullying others; a child screaming loudly. A child whining and clinging to the nanny, begging to be taken to their mother. Even the nannies seemed overwhelmed by the atmosphere, as if it was their first time caring for children in the imperial palace, and couldn't demonstrate their full abilities. 'How should I handle…

Reibella's days were truly busy without a moment to spare. She woke up at dawn, got ready before the sleepiness had fully dissipated, and as soon as she went out, she tasted the water the princess would use to wash. This was because of the Emperor's order to check everything that would touch the princess's body. After checking even a single glass of water going to the princess, there was a brief gap, during which she had to go to the princess's palace kitchen and carefully inspect if there were any…

"Reibella." Hearing the cheerful voice calling her, Reibella turned her head towards the princess with a smile on her face. But what filled her vision was a sweet cake. "This is delicious. Try it." The princess waved the fork stuck in the cake, urging Reibella to open her mouth quickly. Reibella truly felt like crying. "...I've already eaten, Your Highness." "That was just tasting. And you only ate as much as an ant's eye." "Still, eating is eating. Please eat quickly. It's food made…
