Chapter 62: 62
“My lady, I have a letter . ” At Marilyn’s words, I confirmed the letter . It was from Veronica .
‘You sent it very quickly . Do you have anything to say?’
After I removed the sealing wax, I opened the letter . Inside it was full of unfair things and about the management of the fishing grounds she had suffered from Mikhail . And finally, Mikhail’s obsession with me is extraordinary and worries about me .
‘Mikhail, this man is really punished by heaven . ’
I just let him go because I’ve done something, but I didn’t know he was in charge of fishing .
‘Exactly, I was close to managing personal connections to take advantage of people when needed, but I was distressed even for him . ’
When I saw her letter, I remembered myself . Somehow I felt bitter in my mouth, so I felt like eating something sweet .
Should I ask Matthew to make me a cake? However, I had a short worry about going to a sweeter tea room than Matthew made .
”Marylin, get ready to go out . ”
”Yes, sir . Miss, I’ll give you a change of luck first . ” When I changed into my outdoor clothes, Marilyn left the room . “Wait a minute . I’ll report to the butler . ”
“Yes . ”
When she went out, I laughed unconsciously .
‘Since you didn’t come today, will you come tomorrow?’
I was thinking that I should buy Max’s cake and keep it while I was going out .
Tung-tung .
I was nervous at the sound from the window .
‘You’re not a pigeon, are you?’
It was when I crept towards the window . A sigh of relief in a familiar face .
‘I told you to come to the door normally, but you came to the window door again . ’
When I unblocked him, he stood in the room .
“Welcome . ”
”Where are you going?” Then Marilyn’s voice came from outside the door .
“Lady, we’re all set . ” At that, I stared at him .
“I was going to have a cake, but the timing was good . Let’s go together . ” I thought he would like it because he’s a person who eats a few pieces of cake alone . But instead of positive, he only looked at me with a stiff face . The mid-bass voice that came out before long .
“I have something to say . ” I nodded . I wanted to say it like he always did . However, the words from his mouth had no choice but to open my eyes wide . ”I’ve got a job to take care of in a long time,”
I said to myself, ‘work . ’
“Are you doing work, like a mercenary?”
“It’s similar . ” I wanted you to deny it internally, but I flinched at the sheer positivity . That means he might get hurt . “Is it dangerous?” At my question, he looked at me and shook his head .
“I don’t fight losing . ” In a word, he said he was not taking on difficult tasks . Honestly, I sympathized with his words because my motto in life is ‘let’s go safely . ’
“You thought it well . You don’t have to do anything dangerous . ” At my words he stared at me and said .
“So, I don’t think I will come for a while . ” Certainly, in the terms of the contract, the employer and the employee are obligated to report their destination to each other in the absence of the contract . When you look at it, you say, ‘I see it saying that it’s a while, so how many days is it?’ At that time, I heard Marilyn’s voice again .
“Lady?” I opened my mouth watching Max .
“Okay, then let’s go get some cake together . ” Then, he smiled at me . I couldn’t understand the meaning, so when I was staring blankly, he looked at me and said…
“There’s something around your eyes,” I thought my makeup smudged, so I took out my handkerchief reflexively . At that moment, he snatched my handkerchief . When I was staring at him in amazementally . “Stay alert without me . Don’t be fooled . ” Honestly, it was ridiculous that someone I didn’t know said that . When I was going to retort him to do better…”We’ll go eat the cake when I get back . And don’t look for someone while I’m away . ” After he finished speaking, he jumped out of the window .
‘I’ve said what I’ve got to say again . ’
I looked at the back and closed the window .
‘Well, you’ll be back in a few days . You’ll be all right . ’
When I was dozing, I sighed .

“I’m sorry, Marilyn, but I’ll cancel our outing . ” Strangely enough, my appetite ran out, and I didn’t want to eat anything .
I slowly closed my eyes, eroded by the intense fatigue .
* * *
”Miss Jubelian!” The sound of calling me came to my senses . When I opened my eyes, it was somewhere else than my room .
”Oh, you dozed off during Rose’s tea party . ” Maybe it’s because I haven’t been able to sleep well lately, but I often doze off . I rolled my eyes, and Veronica was staring at me with a plump face .
“We’re in the middle of the conversation, wake up . ” Two months have passed since the tasting entrance exam . After four tea parties, I had become quite close to the tasting members .
‘My father’s quiet, and Max is still quiet . ’
No matter how it is, I didn’t know it would be two months in a while . Because of that, I felt very quiet around me .
“Sir Nathan said he was shot in the cheek by his fiancé, Miss Swan, well . ”
“Oh my God, why?”
“She did a trick on Miss Swan’s cousin brother, well!”
Of course, it’s not quite quiet . Anyway, what’s important is that my father doesn’t interfere with me and Max’s work these days . Furthermore, the marriage proposal with the Crown Prince was canceled, and it has been quiet since he came to the system .
‘Should I say thank God?’
I took a biscuit and put it in my mouth . Thanks to the salty taste, I could feel the sweetness better .
‘Max will like it . ’
Unlike me, others chatted without even looking at the snacks .
“Isn’t it the coming of age ceremony for the Her Imperial Highness, The Princess soon?” When someone got lucky, I stopped eating and focused on the conversation .
‘Is it the Princess’s coming-of-age ceremony after a month and five days?’

As it was, on the day of the Princess’s coming-of-age ceremony, I am going to be struck by the princess while holding a Lady’s head in a riot at the ballroom . Yes, I was the first victim of the cider machine Beatrice .
‘Well, seeing that Mikhail is still quiet these days, I think it would be okay if it was quiet . ’
As I was thinking so, I heard an excited voice .
“That’s right . I’m already worried about what to wear at that time . ”
“It’s difficult if you dress up too flashy . If it catches the Crown Prince’s eyes…”
“It’s scary just by thinking . ”
‘Yes, I should wear as modest clothes as possible on that day . ’
Thinking so, I was waiting for the tea party to end . The door burst open, and someone came into the drawing-room, shaking a pack of hoops .
“Oh, my God, Rose! Do you know what I heard?” Rose, who identified the figure, frowned .
“Come on, do you come in without knocking?” He opened his mouth with a puzzled look at Rose’s comments .
“Oh, I’ve been rude to the Ladies . I’m sorry . ” My cheeks are already red, but it must be blushing . Members of the tasting party roared and laughed as if it seemed funny .
“What’s the rush?” Asked by Marien, Rose’s brother Nate opened his mouth .
“Oh, well, Lagon has declared war . ” Everyone was agitated by the shocking words .
“No! Lagon!”
“Are we all right?” Unlike those who were embarrassed, I sighed with the spirit of the future that I knew through this original plot work . Lennox Chang Jung-baek, who claimed to be a good soldier, will participate in the event, but it will eventually fail . It would be the Emperor and my father who helped him to save the Empire from crisis . But the answer from Nate’s mouth was different from what I knew .
“Yes, of course . Thanks to the preparation two months ago, Lenox Chang Jung-baek succeeded in the room, and in the midst of confusion, the Crown Prince cut off Lagon’s head . ”
‘What? Crown Prince?’
I was confused by the different development from the original one . But Nate, who didn’t know what I was thinking, continued .
“So a month later, they’re going to have a victory banquet . ” Nate, who made the surprise news, continued to look around all of us .

“All the nobles are obliged to attend,” I frowned at the remark .
‘Ha, the Crown Prince is so active . What’s more, an unscheduled party, ··· . ’
This is probably the reason for the sinister feeling that once happened . I was so upset that I gulped down cold tea .
‘It’s so bitter . ’
Unlike me, others were making a fuss .
“Tell me more about what happened . ” When Veronica asked with her eyes glistening, Nate blushed and nodded .
“Yes, of course . ” Nate sat down and opened his mouth . ”Did you know that Lennox Chang Jung-baek used to claim an ambivalence?”
”Yes, I’ve heard of it before . ”
“Lenox Chang Jung-baek claimed an ambivalence, but you know he was ignored, right?”
“Sure . ”
“So they was secretly raising the military, but it is said that it was only 60,000 . At that time, the Crown Prince noticed that Ragon’s atmosphere was unusual, and he secretly sent the soldiers . ”
“What about the atmosphere?”
“It is said that they have harvested a strangely large amount of grain . And you noticed that it was a military quantity that was prepared so that it could be eaten for a long time by drying anything . ” Aristocratic young kids who were listening to Nate were whispering .
“Oh, my God, the Crown Prince has such a plan, it’s a sight again!”
“I know . ” Nate, who was listening to it, raised his voice excitedly . “Originally, it was said that the support group requested by Chang Jung-baek was 20,000 . But the Crown Prince was willing to send 50,000 troops, half of the Northern Guard, to the support force, saying that the number would be meaningless jubilant . ”
“Oh, my God!” Listening to the gentle exclamation, Nate added in a high-pitched voice .
“The weak, who cannot fight there, have given orders not to attack at all, and Lagon says my opinion is good . ” Why did the Crown Prince cut such generosity? I gave up because I was too lazy to guess what was going on inside .
‘Well, the essence is a bad guy with no blood or tears in his sadist . ’
But other people seem to have different ideas .
“Wow, even the knights don’t keep their chivalry these days, and it’s so wonderful . ”
