Chapter 416: 416
I couldn’t sleep for some reason .
How could it be? Why?
After my constant struggle between waking up, sleeping, waking up, and sleeping, I just got up once morning hit, but my shoulders felt stiff because of my lack of sleep . Perhaps, it was why I had so little energy in the morning .
Damn, I couldn’t stay like this since there would be a lot of paperwork .
The work that the palace would give me was great enough as it was, but the only downside was that there weren’t any holidays .
Ugh, a vacation?
Not at all possible!
Fortunately, however, Silva had come so that I could take a break as an excuse for tea time .
Ha, Sil, my angel .
“Is it good?”
I felt a bit well after drinking the nectar tea . Silvia made the tea, so it was bound to be excellent .
These were no empty words; the tea really did taste like sweet dew .
Who would think that maybe the purpose of my rebirth was to drink the tea of my godmother? In my previous life, I always drank coffee till the day of my death .
It was always coffee or cola, but with the tea in my hand now, I had no complaints about my life .
Most of all, in Agregiant, where the tea culture hadn’t developed much, only Silvia and I were the ones who enjoyed tea in earnest . Oh my, such sweetness .
“Princess . ”
“Yes?”
“It was said that you are going to be married to the Emperor of Pretzia soon?”
Puht!
I almost spat out the precious tea .
Calming myself down, I carefully swallowed the tea . Ugh, my throat got so sore after that . But my throat wasn’t the problem here .
“Who said that?”
Silvia picked up her teacup and smiled as she saw my expression .
“Everyone is saying that?”
“Ehhh?”
What did this mean?
It was so embarrassing to even speak about it . Seeing me stiffen, Silvia added some more .
“Rumors are going around that the two of you are pretty close with each other . ”
“Oh my!”
I could see how such rumors spread at the speed of light .
What?
I was too embarrassed to even say anything, but then the door opened with a familiar face greeting us .
His red hair shook gently through the breeze .
“Princess!!”
Yes, there was only one person who could barge into my room like this .
I didn’t hear that she was coming in, but it was so surprising for Evelyn to come over to visit me without any notice beforehand; I immediately leaned back on my chair . Talking huge strides to get to me, Evelyn showed a bright smile on her face when she came to a halt . Only when she got close to me could she see that we had another guest .
“Oh my, Miss Silvia!”
“It has been a while, Evelyn . ”
As I watched the two of them greet each other, I drank my tea . I wanted to drink some cold water and get myself to relax, but there was no cold water with me, so I put up with the tea . I was glad that I could calm myself down .
If the tea was even a little hotter, I could have burnt my tongue .
Anyhow, drinking something did help my calm nerves .
Meanwhile, I realized that Evelyn wasn’t alone; she stepped in with Graecito and Valer . Looking at them, I frowned . Why did they come over again? Weren’t they supposed to be working?
“Greetings, Miss Silvia . ”

“M-mother . ”
Unlike Graecito, Valer stopped right after he saw Silvia .
Silvia, too, stared at Valer as if looking at a man who abandoned his home . She had a different smile as she welcomed her son .
“Oh, Cito, hello . But, Valer, what are you doing here at this time?”
“Ah, that is…”
With a smile, she held onto Valer, who was trying to escape .
Right, no matter how stupid Valer was, he was still Silvia’s son .
Not listening to the nagging between the mother and son, I looked on the other side . Graecito went over to Evelyn and handed her a handkerchief .
“This fell from you . ”
“Ah . ”
Evelyn’s reactions while taking back her handkerchief weren’t too serious, but I could see the way her cheeks fumed red .
It was nice that things were going well between them…
I looked disgusted . After all, there was that energy of a dirty couple surrounding them . Graecito and Evelyn faced each other and smiled . They were in deep shit .
“Uh, Princess!”
Once the nagging ended, Valer placed his hands on my shoulder .
He must be killed .
I couldn’t do anything as I was holding onto my teacup; all I could do was glare at Valer to make him understand .
Valer chuckled .
“Have you got a special relationship with the Emperor of Pretzia?”
“Who said that?”
Even this guy was spewing the same nonsense .

While I shrugged, he began to answer me .
“Who? Rumors are spreading all over the palace . ”
“Who is out there spreading such baseless rumors?”
When things got heated, I tried to demonstrate that I was still Caitel’s daughter, but unfortunately, Valer didn’t seem to know where the rumors had originated .
“How should we know! I only came to know about this while someone else was speaking . ”
Sil said the same thing; I thought it came from a particular origin, but when Valer gave the same reason, I couldn’t stop myself from feeling nervous .
Could it be that I got too drunk to realize that I was seeing things?
Are there really such rumors going around in the Imperial Palace?
It’s ridiculous, I took another sip of my tea, but Valer was back to questioning me again .
“So, are you going to marry soon? Will Ria become the Empress of Pretzia?”
“So, will Ria leave for Pretzia soon? Oh . I don’t like that . Can’t that Emperor just live over here?”
I decided to stay calm . Right, luck was on the side of people who learned to endure and hold back .
However, this guy was seriously asking for a beating, and it was getting hard to hold myself back . I couldn’t stand it!
“You should just shut your mouth the next time you think about talking . ”
“Ehhh . ”
Instead of being flustered, Valer tried to act cute; this time, I wanted to hit him . I wasn’t wearing stilettos, but the heel of my shoes was sharp enough . He seemed to understand what I meant when I stomped on him .
“Ouch!”
It was no gentle stomp, and after a while, I took my foot away from his .
Why did he have to keep prying about those rumors?
I did feel horrible seeing him in pain, but I was too annoyed with him, and it would be a lie if I said that I hated it . I grabbed the teacup when Evelyn asked .

“Princess, those rumors aren’t true, right?”
“Of course not!”
What have they all been hearing?
That was all Evelyn needed to smile . She clasped my hands in hers and spoke .
“Right! You are our princess! Surely you wouldn’t marry the Emperor of the south!”
“… you are mistaking a few things; let go . ”
Emperors had great things to consider . Wouldn’t unifying a country be easier if the rumors were true?
Even today, the Emperor’s bright eyes felt so burdensome, which made me want to flee . I just laughed in front of Silvia to act cute . She might have let it go when I was young, but grown-ups acting cute was cringe-worthy .
I just pouted a little when Graecito, who hadn’t said anything, looked at me .
“I am really glad it isn’t true, but . ”
Glad? Why do I feel weird?
When I narrowed my eyes, Valer spoke out .
“Right . We aren’t the only people living in the Imperial Palace, after all . ”
I could feel a chill run down my spine at his words .
Goosebumps stuck on my hands . I kept rubbing them to calm myself .
No way, no way .
No, this wouldn’t create a problem, right?
Right, what would happen if this creates a problem? I shouldn’t worry . I forced myself to smile .
Right, this wasn’t a huge deal .
