Meriel sighed, but the damage had already been done.

“But I thought you wouldn’t despise it…” Eirin commented.

“How can I be angry when he’s excitedly putting flowers in my ear?”

“The Grand Duchess has a good heart.”

“I’m sure everyone will do it too.” Meriel added.

“Not at all, Your Grace.”

“Anyone would have done that if you looked at that face right in front of you.”

What kind of woman would reject him when he is happy and has a gentle smile on his face? She sincerely appreciates him for not entering the bedroom with her.

Meriel’s misery, however, did not end there.

Meriel was led to the greenhouse by her maids after she returned to the great siege. Colorful flowers were hung on the table with pretty ribbons alongside a bouquet of candies.

“Meriel!”

“Older sister Juliana?”

She dashed up to her and presented Meriel with a bouquet of candies.

“Did the Knights give you candies? I knew you liked candy since you were a kid, but…they can’t be the only one who can give you candies, can they?”

“No, it’s……”

“Ah!”

Juliana quickly took Meriel’s hand in hers and led her to the head of the table.

She didn’t have the red roses Klaus gave to Meriel the night before, but she trimmed and decorated all the flowers she could see in the greenhouse.

They were all lovely, but they all looked like they were ready to be put on your hair.

“Um, this one’s pretty, too, but do you like this flower, Meriel?”

“What is this?”

“Did the Grand Duke give you flowers? I can’t afford to be left behind.”

Meriel, who wanted to beg to be left alone, placed plenty of candies on the table and awkwardly smiled.

She can’t say no to her gift. It was clear that neither the Knights nor Klaus would be swayed, telling them that being presented with items she didn’t even like would be spiteful, but seeing a delighted face was a pure gift.

Unfortunately, Meriel lacked the strength to reject them coldly.

“I appreciate it so much, sister.”

“Right? As expected, I believe I chose your present wisely.”

“haha….”

Meriel noticed that the fresh flowers she had felt particularly heavy. Meriel smiled as she realized how happy Juliana was. She couldn’t help but laugh.

Meriel sighed as she returned to her bedroom after receiving the gift and drinking her tea. She was perplexed as to what she should do to put an end to her never-ending gifts.

She was puzzled as to where she had gone wrong, but it was they who had misunderstood her, and it was too late to explain.

“That’s all I have to do…to like it…”

Accept it if there is no other option. Meriel wore a red rose ribbon in her hair, which Klaus had given her the night before. It looked strange when impersonating a fool, but it was a pretty good headdress.

“It’s not bad.”

Then she bit the lollipop given to her by the knights. If she added up what she got from Juliana today, she didn’t seem to need candy for the time being.

She changed into a red dress with the assistance of Hills. Meriel raised the corner of her mouth, giving the impression that she was quite passionate. There was only one way to put a stop to their heinous gift.

“Your Grace?”

“Where is Klaus?”

“He is in his office…”

“Bran?”

“He’s on the training field… Your Grace?”

Meriel wore red shoes and held a basket full of candies in one hand. She felt a heavy weight on her.

She even included what Juliana had given her.

Meriel took a gentle step forward and waved to those she passed.

Everyone she came across either bowed their heads or froze on the spot.

Her wavy orange hair was adorned with red roses and braided in a pretty braid. She had a lollipop in her mouth and was so bright red that she could be called a red woman.

Her mysterious appearance, which was both sexy and cute, caused quite a stir in the Grand Duke’s palace.

Meriel headed to the training field first.

‘I’m sorry, innocent knights.’

The offensive gift was silly, but she didn’t despise it. Because she is aware that they were simply trying to please her.

Meriel remembered the maids’ reactions when she arrived at the hall. They were taken aback at first, then in awe, and finally, equally embarrassed.

Meriel, who was throughout the hall, took a deep breath. Now was the time for her to take a risk.

‘I pretended to be crazy, just like I pretended to be a fool.’

Meriel took her first steps into the training field. In an instant, the eyes of the knights who were concentrating on their training were drawn to her.

The contrast between Meriel’s red dress and the dull mist was enough to draw attention to her.
