Chapter 2

“Meg-sama, dinner is ready. Roy-sama is waiting for you.”

It’s already been two weeks since we got married.

I’m used to the castle, and my relationship with the maids is mostly good.

Hannah, dressed in a black maid’s uniform, opens the door to the room.

She has done so much for me.

I wonder if I should get used to it.

I lightly lifted the hem of my light green dress and walked down the stairs.

Such gorgeous luxuries.

The inside of the castle has a sophisticated atmosphere, you can feel that a lot of money has been spent on it.

What a waste of money.

I shake off these thoughts and gently stroke my right wrist.

This long-sleeved dress hid all the parts of my body that I didn’t want to show.

But, still…I can’t help but feel that they are being exposed.

These are so many marks of love etched all over my body.

Until they disappear, the day when I can sleep with Roy-sama will not come.

I wonder when that will be.

Oh, but that too is unnecessary anxiety.

I have to die as soon as possible in order to make him happy.

“Meg, today’s meal looks great.”

The table was lined with more dishes than I had ever seen before I was married.

Even though I sat facing Master Roy-sama, I felt overwhelmed by the distance between us.

I took a spoonful of beans from the soup, and glanced at Roy-sama as I brought it to my mouth.

Roy-sama is beautiful, after all.

His soft silver hair was tied up in a single ponytail, so as to not get in the way, and his narrow blue eyes were like sapphires.

His skin is white, and he has a seemingly feminine charm, but his body, which he trains daily, would rival that of any knight.

When I look down at my poor body, I can’t help but feel sad.

“Have you gotten used to living here yet?”

Roy-sama always asks this question.

Whether I get used to living here or not, I’m going to fulfill my duties.

“Yes, Roy-sama. Thanks to Hannah and the others, I am having a fruitful day everyday.”

“Really. My mother was also impressed with your work. My father also praised you.”

“I’m very happy to hear that, but I’m still a novice. I’ll try harder.”

It would be meaningless if I didn’t get praise from Roy-sama himself.

But I’m happy that His Majesty, the current King and Queen, will like it.

I don’t want to be branded as a useless person here.

Studying to become the next queen, working as the first prince’s consort, and healing injuries as a saint.

There are many things to do.

I’m just doing them, that’s all.

“That’s right, Meg. I’ve got plans to meet someone on my next day off. I was originally thinking of taking you out to the town with me, but… I’d like to apologize, but if there’s something you want, I’ll give it to you as a gift. What would you like?”

Oh, I’m sure you’ll meet her.

To the love of his life, to the beautiful woman he deserves.

The beans in my mouth suddenly felt hard and took a long time to go down my throat.

“No, I don’t want anything. Please don’t worry about me. Go ahead and have a nice day out.”

I give him a smile that says, “I don’t mind one bit,” and try not to let the bitter water in my heart overflow.

Why not me?

I wonder why I married him.

Don’t even think about it.

This is a marriage for the country.

Don’t regret the fact that you were tied together.

“Did you discover anything new today?”

Quickly forgetting the previous conversation, Roy-sama smiles carefree.
