Chapter 7 

“It looks like our princess wants to burn this castle down.”

The door to the room opened and Roy-sama walked in.

I lowered my head at his words.

Really, what are you doing?

“When I came back, the maid all looked scared, and said that Meg had exploded the pot. Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. I’m sorry for making a mess in your room.”

The room that was splattered with herbs has been cleaned by Hannah and her colleagues.

I wonder what he’s going to do with me here.

Roy-sama in my bedroom.

While I sit on the large bed.

In this room, which was not normally used, we were supposed to have our wedding night.

However, Roy-sama and I have not crossed that line.

My role is to give birth to the heir of the royal family.

Roy-sama thinks it’s his fault.

He thinks I’m rejecting him because he likes someone else and it’s his fault.

But that’s not the case.

In the first place, I can’t give birth to Roy-sama’s child.

Because my body is full of defects, both outside and inside.

“But this room has to be used once in a while. Maybe it was just right.”

Roy-sama says as he sits down next to me.

I shrugged, thinking of getting to the point of the matter.

“Anyway, Roy-sama. How was your trip?”

I changed my tone to sound easy-going.

I don’t want to feel miserable any more.

“Yeah, it’s been a while since we’ve had a chance to talk, and I’ve had a great time.”

“Who did you meet today?”

“I visited an acquaintance’s house. Do you know Baron Savonley?”

“…yeah, just the name.”

“We spent a lot of time talking at his house.”

While I succeeded in changing the subject, I brought myself crashing down.

I’m sure the person you loved was there, too.

That is what I want to say, but I can’t say it.

My heart hurts so much.

You already know the answer to that, don’t you, Meg?

Don’t show it on your face.

“That’s right, here. Baron Savonley’s daughter wanted you to have this. And here’s a little something from me.”

Oh, oh no. Why?

I tried my best to put on a smile on my face and accepted the package that was offered to me.

“Well, thank you very much. What is it?”

From the Baron’s daughter! To me!

When I opened the package, there were several cookies inside placed neatly in a row.

“Is it homemade?”

“She made it herself, apparently. I had some myself, and it was really good.”

“It’s amazing. I’ll have it tomorrow with tea.”

I want to get rid of it, right now.

Why are you doing this?

I wonder if Roy-sama doesn’t really know what’s going on.

Is this a declaration of war?

“What is her name, the daughter?”

“Linon.”

“…sounds kind of sweet, doesn’t it?”

Far-fetched sarcasm.

It was not about her name, I mean the way you say it is sweet.

But Roy-sama only smiled.

It was completely a losing battle.

I’m not sure what to do.

I hold back a sigh and open the other package.

“Oh dear…”

A beautiful blue drop-shaped gemstone shines brilliantly.

A simple necklace with just one small gemstone.

It’s so beautiful, I’m almost drawn to it.

“This is…”

“I wanted you to wear something that had the color of my eyes. It would be proof that you belong to me.”

His words fall on deaf on ears.

But I couldn’t help but feel a cold chill run through my heart.

Why? Why?

“Put it on and let me see.”

As he said this, Roy-sama put the necklace around my neck.

It was like… It’s like a shackle.

“You look beautiful. It looks good on you.”

Roy-sama’s eyes, the same as the gemstone, stared at me.

And then that beautiful face came close to me, and I felt something warm, well, like his lips.

Touching mine.

Oh why.

I’m really better at lying.

“Roy-sama…I…I like you…”

My heart trembled, my voice quivered.

“Don’t call me names. Don’t be nice to me when you don’t like me.”

My scarred body can’t afford to accept someone who doesn’t like me.
