There was one more thing I learned about Suena, except that he looked small.

He was persistent.

Im here to pick you up, Princess!

youre back again?

I stared at my opponent, not hiding my wonderful feelings.

Im sure Ive said it. Im not going back to the kingdom, I like my life here.

Yes, I was.

Unless theres some confusion in my memory.

I surely told Count Suina who visited the mansion.

The Count first said that he understood the princesss meaning, and then he retired.

.but it turned out to be a setback in the operation!

The count didnt give up. He continued to visit the mansion every day after that.

I even kicked him out right away, and he visited me three times a day.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner

Why the hell did he do it three times a day?

I had a headache.

Now, when I entered the parlour room, I could almost feel the sight of Count Suena standing up in a chair and jumping up.

What the hell is this, why has this become a regularity?

Yes, you did. But Princess, would you please give me one more chance?

Even if I think again five times, not once, it doesnt change my mind.

Im tired of repeating the same conversation. I stood arm in arm, not sitting on the parlour room couch at all.

And I told you to stop calling me princess. Im not a princess here. Well, Im a princess but not that kind of princess. Im a Dukes daughter here.

I havent told the people of the mansion about my origin yet.

This is because it is too embarrassing to reveal the truth.

It feels like I need to gather everyone together and make an official announcement. thats not good either.

Well, it was not easy to think that what had been hidden and didnt known for more than 20 years would be announced at once.

Im sure many people here have already heard that youre a princess.

Thats fine. Everyone knows it as the Counts habit.

Thanks to this, the image of Count Suena has become somewhat subtle in the mansion, but it is none of my business.

The Count seemed to be slanting in between his eyes but quickly opened it again.

Ive already seen it, but what?

You dont even know Im saving his life right now.

I dont even know.

Speaking of which, the Count almost died about three times so far.

In whose hands? Of course, Ashs hand.

How? Its an accident, so I cant tell.

How can I stop it.

I knew Ash would go right away when I said that the Count was a little annoying.

In fact, it never sounded like a joke to me when I answered Ashs words saying should Ash do something to the Count when he comes again?

Yeah, Im not kidding. I certainly wasnt.

So I put quite a lot of effort into facial expressions to save a precious life. I even lied as if it would be a little fun to have him visit the mansion every day.

That fact is, its not fun. Its annoying and disturbing.

The count was so annoying that I couldnt even visit the Imperial Palace yet.

I wish he could give up quickly while hes still alive.

Id rather give him a sneak peek. If he doesnt want to die a mysterious death in another country, hed better give up and go back alone.

Count Suena, who had no way of knowing what I was worried about, opened his mouth to me.

Do you love being a princess here?

I looked at Count Suena.

What if I am

I thought about which of his words caught me. As the Dukes daughter.

This part. At first glance, I noticed the count was having some kind of mistakes here.

In the first place, the status of a princess of a kingdom or as a daughter of a duke was not very important to me.

If I were a little bit silly, the princess would not be able to remain here as a Dukes daughter anymore.

Position and authority are the second issue, and whats really important is whos in the decision.

But I knew this jerk would think like that. Look at that.

I frowned.

The count spoke without regard.

I understand that you have a special relationship with the Duke here. Despite knowing the princesss origin, he didnt change much, so I think he knew that the princess wasnt his real brother. But, Princess, you know, theres no place as closed and pedigree as the aristocracy. If the truth becomes known, the Empire will naturally take the princess as an outsider.

The Count.

I sighed and cut off his words. He hesitated to answer back.

You can remove the formality.

Yes, Count.

I decided not to talk long. Your position is not important to me here, your delusions are wrong, and it will only hurt my mouth to recite every single word.

I dont care. If you want to expose my origin, do it.

.

Well, Im not a Dukes daughter and Im going to be a duchess anyway.

I borrowed some lines from Ash.

I cant believe Im using this here. Mm-hmm, it was cool when I spit it out, but its kind of embarrassing.

The Count Suena seemed to be in a quandary. He couldnt say much and just blinked.

I loosened my arms and waved my hands. It was a sign to have him go out of the mansion.

Do you get it? If you understand, you can go now. And dont come back again. Its a shame Ash was out of the mansion today because if he knew that the Count was trying to intimidate me, he would never have let you go.

Counts Suena are lucky, too. This is how he survived and stayed alive.

Thats what I was going to say and turn around when suddenly the count knelt on the floor.

Of course, I was surprised.

what are you doing?

I heard the knee bumping against the floor quite loudly. Are his joints okay?

Fortunately, the count seemed to be okay because he was quite young, and then bowed his head without showing no signs of pain.

I was wrong, Princess. My thoughts were short. Please punish my profanity a little while ago and forgive me.

Thats okay. Just get out of here.

Im not in a good mood because I remember my ex-boyfriend from a long time ago, who thought it would be all right if he did something wrong and just kneel. Even the peculiarity of such jerks is that they dont think theyre wrong. Just doing something that will weaken the opponents mind to avoid this moment.

Princess.

Ill be going, so you can keep doing that.

Okay, if you dont want to come back to the kingdom, I wont force you anymore. But cant you not come back completely, but take a moment to see and meet the queen?

Count Suena begged with his forehead almost on the floor.

I could not ignore that remark and just turn around.

Because I had a natural question.

Meet the queen?

Her highness is still a mother who gave birth to you. The affection between parents and children, how can they not see each other even when they know whats going on? Please. Its only for once

Then shouldnt she come to see me?

Yeah.

If the Count really wants me and the Queen to meet to the extent that the Count pleases me so much, ask the Queen to come and see me.

This.

If the Queen is really sorry for abandoning me more than 20 years ago if she thinks it was wrong and tries to correct it. She should have come to pick me up in person. Not by sending a man under her command and saying, Bring back to the princess when you come back.

If she really thinks of me as her child, she should have done that.

Therefore, I naturally had to cool down when Count Suena said, The affection between parents and children.

The Count lowered his prone position even further as if he felt my voice getting colder.

I looked at it and turned around.

If the Queen had come in person, I would never have returned to the kingdom and acted like a princess, but there is still a basic of what and how to do.

I shifted my steps to get out of the parlour room completely.

It was then.

Her Highness has a chronic disease!

Count Suena suddenly shouted.

Big and loud enough to ring the whole parlour room, and quite urgently.

The count poured forth his words.

her heart condition is not good. So its hard to come outside, not even out of the royal castle. Moreover, if shes travelling this long distance.

.

It is a fact that no one knows except for an aide who Her Highness has right next to her like me. The moment it is known to the outside, it will be a good excuse for those who want to take the charge down from the throne. So, I changed the doctor regularly to cover their mouth and hide it thoroughly.

The count hit his forehead. There was a crash on the floor and a loud noise. He didnt stop talking.

Even with that body, Her Highness said that she would move directly. But I stopped it. I begged and objected. Its all my wrongdoings.

.

So let your anger rest on me, and please meet the Queen.

.

Please. Its top-secret but she hasnt been feeling well lately. In fact, it is partly because of that, the reason I have come to take care of the princess who might not have been able to find her. Right now, her highness pretends to be corrected in the eyes of the surrounding countries and nobles, but I dont know whats going to happen in the future.

The Counts voice was in a state of desperation. The sound of his forehead pounding was quite loud, so he might have bled. I didnt turn around and check.

Please. Think of it as the wish of the poor.

Count Suena quieted down after saying all that.

I stood in my seat for another hour and soon got out of the parlour room.

***

Ash returned to the mansion by the time the rising sun had tilted to the horizon to a certain extent.

I was waiting in Ashs office, and when I saw the door open, I said.

Youre here?
