Chapter 5

If so, she should have a best friend, but her best friend, Dahlia, is the heir to the throne. Estelle seemed to be naive, but she wasn’t as brazen as to ask her friend, who wasn’t really free, to pick out underwear with her.

So, she ended up preparing for the wedding alone. As she would become the Mistress of the Duchy, a facial expert was sent by the royal family. In addition to buying all the expensive things, Nicky, a maid, was attached. The guards also breathed a sigh as the attentive maid, who was exceptional in detecting danger, often walked around and chased Estelle.

Even though her face was red and it looked like it was going to explode, she was still choosing her underwear, but she got so angry at the man who wrote in a letter, ‘You can just come’.

In the end, Estelle told the messenger that she had no reply. And today, she was about to run out of her dressing room because of the letter that suddenly came to her mind.

Of course, to say that she wants to run away in cultured words such as ‘Is it ok to go and get some air for a while?’

As soon as she ran out of the dressing room, Estelle ran wildly to the wizard’s air garden right in front.

It is said that the first wizard who founded the kingdom made a floating garden in the air with the strange rocks that were piled up here before it became a now known capital. It has now been transformed into a beautiful place where people can chat while crossing the bridge between the rocks. Of course, Estelle didn’t mean to chat there.

“I want to tarnish everything!”

Estelle exhaled like that without even breathing. The next moment, she let out a long sigh. It was the most remote and cliff-like place in the garden. To the extent that even lovers who were secretly dating in a hanging garden do not know about the place.

Estelle came here when she was a child and found it. Next to the very large observatory, there is a gap between the small cliffs.

It was a small place where two or three people could stand and one person could fall, but it was suitable for Estelle, who was alone now. She grabbed the railing and looked down. The beautiful scenery of the capital city was seen all the way down.

“Hngh.”

Tears welled up. She didn’t want to get married.

‘Is this what you call premarital depression?’

Estelle thought she was the perfect fit for the case of premarital depression. She had to marry a man who is known for his brutality, and even his letters and money that he sent without any sincerity, upsetted her.

In the meantime, she didn’t want to feel like this because she was obedient to her father.

Even the reason why she ran to the public garden was because Nicky pointed out that it’ll be okay because it’s safe there.

That is to say, she was a girl who listens very well to the fact that she is obediently listening to others even at this moment was really annoying.

‘Should I just die?’

Estelle looked down at the railing again. If I fall from here… I can’t die. Estelle closed her eyes tightly. Over the course of hundreds of years, there have been dozens of spells set up by the kingdom’s wizards in this air garden. Thus, anyone falls under the railing and is caught in a magic net. That’s probably why Nicky said she’d be safe.

Of course, she didn’t really mean to die. Estelle used to think she was excited to live every day before her wedding.

‘Let’s think positively. There be fun things to do after marriage? Right?’

It was time to climb the last stairs.

“Oh, my!”

She accidentally stepped on the end of a stone that had been embedded in the stairs, and she stumbled unknowingly. A strong wind blew without a break, and Estelle’s waist fell over the railing of the garden.

The blue sky obscured her vision upside down. Gosh! She shut her eyes tightly. Her body lost her balance and leaned in an instant.

But she didn’t go any further. Instead, a firm, warm hand held her waist. Huh? Estelle opened her eyes. It was not long before her eyes became round.

“Are you okay?”

A certain man was holding her at her waist. He seemed flushed as if he had run from afar.

Estelle blinked again.

Her vision filled the man’s face. Sweet, warm-looking black eyes, and a straight forehead and handsome face.

Brown cheeks kissed by sunlight. The firm chin set below was impressive. His arms around her were firm and warm, and his size was large enough to envelop Estelle at first glance.
