Chapter 139

Twisted Truth (5)

Her head was blank because she couldn’t sleep. Moreover, the headache continued to bother her because she had a lot to think about.

“Princess, you don’t look so happy”.

Carl watched from the side and told her. Hand over the medicine with warm water as if the maid was told to bring the medicine.

“Thank you.”

“I think you should rest today.”

“No, I can’t do that because I have a lot of work to do.”

She’s now correcting it, but she couldn’t postpone it just because it hurt a little. In addition, a month later, the official ceremony will be held. So when she has taken the lead now, she has to finish everything.

“I don’t know if I’ll be alive later.”

Honestly, she doesn’t think she’ll die. She had no intention of dying in vain now. She will not give up on anything.

At first, she held out hard to become Mary, but now she thinks she’s moving forward to live as herself.

She wants to end all this with her own hands. Nox’s words kept getting caught, but there’s nothing she can do now.

Arthur wouldn’t know how to end the contract, so he couldn’t have any gain even if she went.

“Princess, will you be able to attend today’s banquet?”

“Don’t worry and get ready.”

Responsibilities for positions at each level were also scheduled to take place today. If the story of her death also gradually disappears, there will be a voice of concern again.

“It’s almost over. You worked hard, too.”

After everything is over, wouldn’t Carl be able to be a little free? After she becomes Empress, he will have a little burden on him.

It’s been a month until the official announcement. In it, she has to break the contract between Nox and Arthur, and she will break the ridiculous bet that binds her no matter what she does.

“Anything will work out the way you want it.”

Did they know how she felt? Carl, who was staring at her, spoke quietly. As she slowly faced his gaze, he looked aloof unlike usual. Carl expressed neither anxiety nor other emotions.

Carl, who was calm, was originally him, so there was nothing strange, but today something subtly different.

“Yesterday, Nox came.”

She looked carefully at Carl. She just felt like she should.

“Did something happen?”

The expression of no concern and the tone without high and low price were still calm. Suddenly, she thought her forehead was narrowing, but he approached her and looked at her.

“No, nothing happened…… He said something weird.”

Breath of relief.

Carl showed her a smile that reassured her. He walked toward the door with determined words.

“He’s the devil. Whatever you say, you have to be firm.”

His hostility toward Nox seemed to be slightly revealed, but he tilted his head slightly as his expression disappeared.

“He said he touched what I valued.”

“Do you have anything precious?”

She doesn’t know. No matter how much she thought about it, she doesn’t know what’s precious. Is there anything that’s not precious to her right now? No, there is nothing that is not precious.

But why is it so uncomfortable?

“……No, I don’t know.”

“That’s all that matters. There are no weaknesses to the Princess.”

When Carl said what she thought, her head turned to the temple. But it was after Carl opened the door and left.

Why is her heart so stuffy?

The maids entered the room to prepare when she pressed the twitching forehead against the chair with her hand. Along with clothes of various designs, accessories were sequentially entered and displayed in the room.

“……I don’t remember there being this many.”

“His Majesty instructed us to pay special attention.”

“Father?”

When they nodded, she chose a dress that she liked. As always, she chose a blue dress.

It was decorated with gold patterns and given points, and the line fell perfectly and she liked it.

The tip of the sleeve also spread widely and was designed to remove the flatness around the waist with a strap.

Excluding decorations such as laces, it looked elegant. The maids ‘ expressions also brightened when she nodded at a fairly satisfactory appearance.

“Princess, I…… Prince Arthur is also attending.”

“I know.”

“Will you dance together?”

“I should dance.”

Externally, she is still engaged, so there is no need to show a bad relationship in front of others. No scratches or weaknesses should be caught until the work is completed.

Arthur was the background that would fill her with military power, strength, and her background now.

“Give him blue clothes, too.”

“Yes, I’ll prepare for that.”

The reason for trying to dance in similar clothes was simple, and there is no better way to show off in the eyes of others.

The maids were wary of each other, and trying to break the engagement must have already spread in the Imperial Palace. Nevertheless, it would not have been understandable to say that they were matching clothes together.

It was natural that they couldn’t understand. In terms of words and actions were different.

She said she would break the engagement, but others might feel like a love fight because he said he would stay in the Imperial palace and dance at the banquet hall.

She went to Arthur’s room with the maids when she finished dressing up.

She knows that the maids went to the room for Arthur’s grooming. When she opened the door and entered, she could also expect what kind of eyes he would look at her with.

She wanted him to see her with an unwavering gaze. That way, she can treat him more harshly.

There is only one way for her to kill him, who knows everything about him. Abandoning her. Leaving him alone by his side again.
