Rona was stunned for a mont.
Eleons straight chin touched her forehead, and his beautiful adams apple was in front of her.
She touched his hard chest. A sculptural body could be seen despite the fact that he was wearing three layers of clothes, a shirt, vest, and jacket.
The thigh that I felt between my legs gave a sense of stability, as if I was riding on a saddle.
His arms were nice and comfortable.
The scent of sandalwood slowly emanates from his body.
And the sound of birds chirping through the park.
Rona almost closed her eyes without realizing it.
Are you okay?
As soon as she heard his voice, she ca back to reality.
Sorry, Im so sorry.
Ugh.
He frowned when she pressed against his abdon with her hand while she was trying to get up quickly.
Are you hurt? I think I hit you.
No, its ok. Dont worry about it.
Eleon sat up, even though he looked uncomfortable.
At the sa ti, Rona got depressed.
My Lord, shall we go back to the mansion?
I guess shes very upset.
He had to think about what to do.
You havent been here in a while, but youre going back?
Eleon turned to where she was sitting.
His face remained as usual. And Rona felt relieved only then.
Theres a lot of food you like in this picnic basket.
Whats in there? Theres a lot of slls so I dont know.
Rona diligently took out sothing from the basket.
Its inconvenient since theres no table.
Co to think of it, she had to arrange food on the floor, so Eleon couldnt eat by himself.
If you stay still, I will take care of it.
Blushing.
Suddenly, Eleons face turned red.
Whats wrong with him?
She tilted her head, then realized.
We werent at the Grand Dukes mansion.
Eleon would be ashad if others got to see an adult as big as him being fed like a baby.
Ah, this would be enough.
Rona put roast beef and salad between the bread, wrapped it in a napkin, and handed it to Eleon.
This way, you can eat alone.
What is this?
Its a sandwich, I have put so food between the bread. Its sothing I ate a lot where I used to lived.
Rona also added ham and vegetables to her portion of bread.
The sandwich taste which I hadnt eaten in a long ti, awakened the mories of my previous life.
* * * * *
Its here.
Rona asked for directions and arrived at Count Harringtons residence. Built with old-fashioned dark bricks, the manor looked luscious just by looking at it.
Count Harrington and his wife were known for being quite good-natured people.
So they have been willing to adopt the daughter of a distant relative.
However, even such kindness must have been suffocating due to the capital lifestyle which she wasnt familiar with.
If they were the bad people, she could have refused coldly.
But its hard to say I hate being dragged around given that they do it with good intentions.
Rona could understand that feeling.
I hated it when my mom always told to eat healthily.
Because I sympathized with it.
Anyway, I even ca to see her in person, so I was expecting to be able to et Karina today.
What if I dont et her because its late?
There was a problem on the way ho from Trappel Park.
Its because Eleon insisted on going with Rona.
Go ahead with the butler first.
Why?
I have so business to do.
You have sothing to do? Whats going on? We can go together.
Rona was a little embarrassed whenever Eleon acted like this.
Ah, that My dress is a little small, so I thought I should make myself so clothes.
Ill take you to the front of the store.
No. You cant. If you take a man to a wons dresser, everyone will misunderstands were dating!
Then Bernard intervened quickly.
Thats right. Besides, you suddenly went out for two days in a row, so you need to rest.
Rona, who wants to go alone, and the butler who puts the Grand Dukes health first, both of them were on the sa side.
It had been quite a while since Eleon had separated from like this.
Sigh. What is this?
Im doing all of this in order to cure his eyes.
Its all for you.
I cant believe youre trying to follow without knowing that. Youre not even a six-year-old.
In front of the door, Rona neatly brushed off her clothes.
Since I went to Trappel Park today, I was carefully wearing outdoor clothes and not my maid clothes, in case, I might run into Count Harrington.
Hello. My na is Rona Hera Palace. May I see Lady Karina?
T/N: Yes, ^^ I believe the author is a fan of Penthouse, a popular k-drama.
Lady Karina?
There must not have been a single guest visiting Karina at the Counts House.
Soon Rona was led to a small building close to the entrance.
The reality was that guests with uncertain identities could not even go to the reception room of the main building.
After a while, an elderly butler ca in.
What did you co here for?
I was indebted to Lady Karina.
The truth is, I want to be indebted to you from now on.
I was trying to repay the favor, but I heard that Lady Karina lost her parents and she was staying at the Count Harringtons residence.
I see.
The butler nodded.
Will I be able to et her?
That seems difficult.
Rona rolled her eyes.
How co? Im sure shell be happy if she sees .
I thought about whether I wasnt very polite right now.
I wasnt making any unreasonable requests.
Lady Karina is not at the residence at the mont.
Yes? No, then where is she?
A look of pride appeared on the butlers face.
Shes at the Imperial Palace.
* * * * *
The sunset gave off a uniquely elegant atmosphere to the palace garden.
A white statue with a golden crown and a spear in its hands turned red as the sun went down.
The garden was full of spring flowers and water drops from the fountain.
A beautiful woman was standing in the middle of the garden.
Her slender body, waving silver hair, and dark, vivid green eyes evoked a fairy-like aura of mystery.
Its so beautiful.
As Karina admired the garden, the man next to her smiled.
It not as beautiful as you.
Karina blushed out of embarrassnt.
The blue-eyed man with slightly black hair looked good in uniform. The almond-shaped eyes look good with the high nose bridge. And his soft lips look like they were sculpted by an artist.
Your Majesty the Crown Prince, please dont say anything like that.
Do you not like it?
Are you saying that to other young girls?
I did.
Karina had a slightly disappointed expression on her face.
I said it out of courtesy then, but Im sincere now.
Sabiel took Karinas hand and kissed the back of her hand.
Her heart was pounding insanely to the point of fainting.
Lies.
How can I convince you to trust ?
Karina didnt say anything, however Sabiel said.
Call by my na.
Yes?
Sabiel. You can call that.
II cant
Allowing soone to call him by his na was an entirely different matter. In the Empire, calling the mbers of the royal family by their nas were limited to the parents and spouses.
I dont dare to call Your Highness na .
Say my na.
I cant.
Are you not following orders of the Royal Family?
As Sabiel made a playful and persistent request, Karina licked her lips.
Sabiel.
Good to hear.
Sabiel slowly lowered his head toward Karina. And she closed her eyes as if she had waited and accepted his kiss.
Whenever its just the two of you, call by my na.
Karina blushed and nodded her head. She couldnt tell if her cheeks were red from the setting sun, or from embarrassnt.
His Majesty, Crown Prince.
Whats going on?
Its .
Sabiels face hardened when the lieutenant whispered sothing. He soon looked back at Karina casually.
Karina. I have urgent work to do, so I have to go.
Karina made a sad face, but Sabiel kissed her once more.
Co to the palace tomorrow as well.
Yes, Your Highness.
If you dont call by my na tomorrow, I will have to punish you.
As Sabiel disappeared, Karina sat down and soon her legs relaxed.
Hahaha.
Karina Dreppain. She was the daughter of a baron in na only.
She grew up like a normal village girl on the outskirts of a remote province.
It felt like the sky was falling when her parents died suddenly. However, her distant relative, Count Harrington, adopted her and allowed her to co to the capital.
She had a different lifestyle from the socialites of the capital.
Countess Harrington worked hard so that Karina could debut.
However, for Karina, who had lived a free-spirited life, the aristocratic life was unbearable.
She was trying to endure until her debutante.
Countess Harrington and Karina entered the palace together to et the Empress.
And the Countess gifted expensive jewelry to the Empress, who said she would introduce Karina specifically to her social circle.
At that ti, Karina lost her way while she was trying to get out of the conversation between the Countess and The Empress.
Accidentally she stumbled upon Crown Prince Sabiel.
Ha ha.
Karina blushed, recalling the first ti she t Sabiel. I had never seen such a wonderful man in the world, and
That was my first kiss.
I heard a bell ringing in my ear.
From the red sky, to the sound of splashing water from the fountain in the garden, and the fragrant sll of flowers.
Everything was perfect.
Sabiel.
Her face glowed, recalling the na of her lover.
And the woman in love left the palace only after the sun went down.
* * * * *
Rona walked along the shabby path.
I waited until almost ten oclock at night, but Karina never returned from the Imperial Palace.
According to Harringtons butler, she goes to the Imperial Palace almost every day to et the Crown Prince and doesnt return until late.
Count Harrington had only one descendant, without any daughter. When he adopted the beautiful Karina, his wife was satisfied, and she may marry the Imperial Family, so now she is a blessing to the family.
Rona couldnt process what the butler said.
I cant believe she fell in love with the Crown Prince.
It deviated from the original novel. Karina should have co to the capital and t Eleon earlier.
Then Eleon What should I do?
Karina should make Eleons dicine.
Would she be able to make it without love?
Will there be no problem in healing his eyes without the premise of falling in love?
Rona felt at a loss because it was the first ti she had encountered such a deviation from the original.
CLANG CLANG
The large iron gate of the Grand Dukes residence made a sound even if she opened and closed it carefully.
By the ti they had all gone to bed, she slyly opened the door and she went inside.
SLAM.
She had just entered the manor and had closed the front door.
A black figure was sitting quietly on the stairs.
Youre late.
