Chapter 4

──────⊱◈◈◈⊰──────

Her heart suddenly felt guilty and sank again.

It was then, she could hear footsteps coming up from the stairs. She looked at the door with a bright face, like a puppy waiting for its owner.

“Prim?”

A gentle voice called her. Her anticipated hope died down like a blown balloon.

“What is it, Marian.”

It was Marian who came in. Prim pouted and poked her lips with her dreary face.

Marian, who brought in a new bedding sheet looked around and asked,

“Are you alone, Lady Prim. What about Prince Reynsis?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

Prim shrugged her shoulders. Marian looked at her with a pitiful eye as if she knew about Prim’s situation.

“He doesn’t usually go out, but sometimes he goes out all day like this. He’ll be back soon, so wait a minute.”

In other words, is he going out all day because of me?

Prim gulped. Marian, who had been wary of her for no reason, added

“His Highness seems a little bit moody.”

It was easy for someone like him who was so picky about the day to say he would kill me. What do you think about that Marian?

Prim, muttering words into her mind, nodded. Marian never complain about him

“I feel sorry for your suffering, but I feel much concerned about His Highness since he has been alone.”

“………”

“I just want to see it once, the smile of the Prince. I don’t think I have any other wish. I might be blind of his smile.”

Marian word made Prim agreed.

Although Reynsis always frowning or his face became expressionless, His beauty still remained. He was like the most beautiful person in the Empire.

“I still can’t forget the Empress’ words. She said she wanted to see the Prince smile. I don’t believe in prophecies. He just can’t see any colour.”

“……..”

When Prim heard that, her heart hurt and pounded vigorously.
