Chapter 34
I’m so sorry . It would have been wonderful to show you the beautiful Lake Ferdium . ”
“It’s really a shame . ”
“I know . God, you must have seen many places all over the world so beautiful they would leave you a fool, so I’ll leave you alone . ”
“Where to?”
Why am I ever so familiar with this? I have not experienced much in this world, but strangely enough, I have encountered this kind of situation several times today . It’s the same as when I looked into the eyes of the man that looked just like my baby and when the clanking of metal in my enchanted ears kept coming for me back then .
“Already?”
“—already?”
Approaching me, he got in my way…
No, it can’t be .
“The princes will be waiting in the pavilion with refreshments . Why the rush?”
“That, no, no . I’m in a bit of a hurry . ”
“Why? You said you only look at the lake all day . ”
“…”
The face of the emperor came closer to me; I already had been holding my breath for quite some time .
Though there was no contact, he pulled me close to his lips and left no gap between us .
“Eat something sweet, and relax your expression . You act as though I will eat you . ”
Oh, my God . What’s wrong with my poor baby? You might lose your mother twice .
I couldn’t remember how I got at the garden to face the three siblings .
However, even if I ran away, I bet my spirit would still have been surprisingly clear .
“Does the tea not suit your preference?”
“…”
Because this guy has leashed me, and he’s on my tail .
“If it doesn’t suit the Duchess’s taste, at least we’ll get another tea…”
“Save me, Your Majesty . ”
“I really didn’t know . How could I have thought that the Emperor and his brothers are standing in line in front of a dessert shop?”
I bowed my head almost in tears . Come to think of it, they did look alike .
Even when standing in line at a restaurant, the three brothers looked normal enough to not make me look weird .
“Of course I thought you were unusual then, but haha . ”
“Really?”
“Of course . ”
Three men line up in front of a cake shop in broad daylight on a weekday, and that looks normal!
I didn’t converse more with the three men around me who were emphasizing their true selves as much as possible .
Regrettably, my flamboyant appearance put me at a disadvantage; everyone is paying attention to me and stealing glances .
“If I had known, I wouldn’t have done such a rude thing . Please believe me . ”
“That’s what I believe . ”

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had tea with that beanpole of a man . ”
On the other hand, the emperor, who laughed so bitterly, looked more sincere than ever . He put down the glass he was holding with a nervous smile that made him seem like he wanted to sever my neck, which is still well attached .
“Anyway, I have to pay you back for that day . ”
“Well, I really don’t mind if you don’t . ”
“Really? I do . ”
Haniel, I’m glad you left this family . If she had grown up under a man like this, I would have died even if she had survived .
Even if the baby swan was with Selene, Selene saw things too flexibly .
At this point, I had to rationally rearrange my thoughts .
‘Let’s just think about the truth . Facts only . ’
At least he didn’t notice Haniel’s identity, though he is a man filled with rage . But that’s the only thing that is clear .
“Huep . ”

I inhale to search for composure deep in me quickly .
“Well . ”
Why? Because I’m pissed off .
“… Possibly, I can’t comprehend the Duchess’s taste?”
“Your Majesty . ”
May I have your attention, please?
Swiftly, the emperor placed his tea on the table and reached out his hand, but he quickly dropped his arm .
It was the same for all of the princes . They backed away as if they were afraid to reach out to me .
“Ah…”
Some people might think I’m going to curse them .
I felt a bit sad, but I wanted to stay away from these siblings as much as possible . What broke the awkwardness enveloping us was the remark of the friendly prince sitting next to the handsome one .
