He kept making feel sorry, and I couldnt get myself to reject him. F-fine! I will do my best, I said so that he wouldnt be able to make fun of even if the product turned out ridiculous.
I love you, he hugged tightly.
They were sweet words, but at the sa ti, I was worried that I might not live up to his expectations. Wrapping my arms around his waist, I sighed. What was I going to do now?!

Recalling the ladys flushed appearance, Max chuckled. He imagined what kind of embroidery she would make as he happily opened the window to his room. When he stepped in, Victor yelled, Your Highness, youve returned! His eyes were wide with astonishnt. Dennis was also in the room, and his expression brightened as if he had just t his savior. Puzzled, Max remained silent.
You must change your clothes imdiately, Your Highness, Dennis urged, restless. It was unusual for a calm man like him to rush Max.
Whats going on?
The emperor has sent a ssage to have a private eting with you. It seems he has sothing to say about the upcoming hunting competition.
I was so worried that you wouldnt co back in ti, Your Highness! Victor chid in.
Max frowned. What could his father be planning now? Do I et him at the office? he asked.
No, he has asked you to his room for a drink.
The crown princes expression crumpled at the ntion of booze. All right.

Once Max left, I was tempted to ask rilyn for help regarding the handkerchief. Judging by her personality, however, it was obvious that she would do the sewing, saying that I would need to watch first before doing it. I had told Max that I would embroider one myself, and I wanted to keep my promise. I was busy thinking of a suitable candidate who would be able to teach when soone knocked on my door.
Its Perez, Lady Jubelian.
Co in, please! I called as I got out of my chair.
She entered my room, notebook in hand. My lady, Ive co to discuss the concept for the banquet
Although I didnt have to, I wanted to let her sitby the looks of it, she was older than my mom back in my previous life. Please, sit down, I invited.
Thank you, Your Ladyship, she bowed, speaking rather robotically.
Smiling, I repeated, So, the concept for the banquet.
Yes. I was thinking of hiring a professional for the preparations if we couldnt decide on one by the end of this week. It seed that shea perfectionistwas not fond of my ways. Still, I was to be blad as the concept of any banquet played a huge part in the ball.
I let out a quiet sigh. There is one I have in mindits just not organized yet. I was going to discuss this with you tomorrow since it was getting late.
I see, she nodded. Then please let know tomorrow.
I watched the woman stand up, then I suddenly rembered sothing. She was soone who took care of all the maids working in our mansion. I quickly asked, Oh! Do you know of any maids who know how to embroider?
Sitting back down, she asked, Embroider, did you say?
Yes. I just want to learn
Im sorry? she squinted her eyes. I was now thoroughly embarrassed, but I managed to remain calm.
I want to make sothing for my lover as well as Dad.
She gazed at for a mont before noting, I must say that I now truly feel that we are preparing for your coming-of-age ceremony, my lady. To see how much you have matured She smiled warmly.
