Chapter 32: Lets Dance The Day Away

A week had already passed by in the blink of an eye. During that week, Sezh had undergone a few changes.

First of all, the nosebleed had stopped completely!! It was thanks to the cotton soaked with medicinal herbs that Raytan had given to her. Now, even if she blew her nose, her nosebleed didnt trigger again. Sezh was now also able to escape from the miserable humiliation caused by the stuffed cotton in her nostrils.

And the second was, she had gained weight. Quitea lot.

This was all due to Raytan. More precisely due to the cake that she ate during tutoring!

The strawberry cake that she ate on the first day of the class at Lises palace was very delicious. But if he continued to feed her that, she wouldve been obsessed with the delicacy for sure. Sezh shouldve seen it coming.

The next day, however, it wasnt just a strawberry cake that greeted her. There was also a fresh, sweet lemon cake and an incredibly thick chocolate cake.

The same went for the next day. On that day, a large muffin topped with lots of fluffy white whipped cream and a raw fruit cake full of countless fruits greeted her. The menu kept changing every day.

The portions were so large that Sezh would sometimes have leftovers. During those times, Marie would help her pack them up meticulously, as everything she did. Marie had happily said that she was glad that Sezh liked the cakes. Since Raytan had asked her to pay attention to it, Marie put a lot of effort into the cakes every day.

Sezh couldnt believe what she was hearing, so she kept asking the same thing over and over to Marie, and Marie would always smile lightly and give Sezh the same answer.So its really true that he asked Marie to take care of me!

That day, Sezh was so happy that she returned to her palace while dancing a little along the way with pure happiness. Luna was worried when she saw Sezh behaving like that. She thought that Sezh might have been sick and checked on her, but Sezh just laughed it off by saying that she was happy.

And lastly, the third change! The time that Sezh spends with Raytan increased a little.

This was the most important and surprising of the few changes that happened to Sezh.

Originally, when the tutoring was over, we would just go on our own way. But just a few days ago, we had dinner together. Of course, it was because Lise was the one who suggested that we have dinner together

Well, from Sezhs point of view, theres no significant improvement in their relationship. But Raytan didnt show as much disgust as he did when we had dinner on his birthday, nor did he say anything about a stupid girl who vomited on another persons stomach.

Of course, I dont do that now.

Also, Lise who suggested we have dinner together didnt come to eat with us.

Sezh hadnt seen Lise again since she met her on the first day of moving to the private tutoring place.

The last time I saw her, I was a little worried because she wasnt feeling well so I asked Raytan whether she was okay or not. In the end, Raytan never gave an answer, instead making a rigid face while biting his lip.

Since that day, Sezh decided to not ask Raytan about Lise and asked Marie instead. Marie was a little troubled by that, and only replied to Sezh with, She is taking a rest because she is not in a good condition.

But something seems suspicious. Lise isnt feeling well, but there were no Imperial Palaces Representatives visiting Lise. The emperor hates Raytan but he favors Lise. Why cant he visit his beloved royal concubine who is sick?

Sezh was curious, but then thought she might have not seen them visit, so she just let the matter go.

Luna was still worried that Sezhs private tutoring would reach Yerenas ear.

Sezh didnt think that Luna would be able to buy enough time to get out of this palace, so Sezh thought about a way to escape from everyones gaze to get to Lises palace.

No matter how much she thought about it, there was only one answer.

She started visiting the library in advance, much earlier than the usual time when there were only a few people going back and forth from the imperial palace. Sezh had already asked Marie as well if she could come a little earlier than she had promised, and Marie said Lise had allowed her. Sezh also asked Raytan.

He didnt seem to like it, but he just let her be. Thus, Sezh was in a great mood these days.

Everything is going as I planned. Plus, its quite fun to learn and study Kazaki.

If she survived well and managed to leave the palace, shell have something that she can use. Sezh studied hard, Raytan was also a good tutor. Sezhs skills were improving day by day.

Luna!Ill be right back.

Sezh hid the books and notes in her pockets while looking at Luna. Luna, who was serving bread, dropped her lips in a slight frown while looking at her with worry.

Please have a little more. Im sure you must be hungry

Lately, Sezh had been eating less and less during breakfast. About half of what she usually ate.The main reason is that Im worried that I will lose my time getting distracted by eating breakfast. I have to get to Lises palace unnoticed and I have to leave earlier to do that.

Its okay. I will get some snacks there anyway. I have to empty my stomach if I want to eat more, dont you think so too?

I mean, she doesnt have to worry about it.

But Lunas face became gloomy.

So, it must have bothered you all the time. The fact that Sezh ate less and less made Luna worried. The last time Sezh brought the cake, Luna had made the same expression. Sezh couldnt understand Lunas thoughts.

As she didnt want to be late, she continued to talk with a bright face.

Recently Ive gained weightand because of that I think I need to lose some weight

Then, Ill take you to the palace. Please wait a moment

No, no need. Ill go alone from now on. You must be tired too.
