I read Serena's letter as I sat on one of the round benches of the gazebo in the mansion garden. The gazebo was on top of a tiny hill and had a pretty view of the whole garden. It was a lovely day outside and I felt like getting so sun.
'I wish for us to beco closer,' I smiled at the way she wrote it, 'If possible, I'd like it if we beca best friends. I do realize it took a few months to get back at you but you have done a huge favor.'
It was a short letter. Other than these lines she just talked about random stuff.
I wrote back to her, 'I would want nothing more than your friendship Lady Serena, I hope we get along for as long as we live.' Followed by this main line, I talked about random stuff as well.
Just as I finished writing the letter I noticed a maid coming over.
Good,
I'll tell her to get this delivered.
The maid stepped inside the gazebo and bowed
"My Lady, Prince Lyal is here,"
!!?
Prince Lyal is here? At the mansion? Why? He never ca to visit before.
"I see," I handed her the letter, "Have this delivered to Lady Serena," I straightened myself up, "And Bring the prince here," I told the maid, "Have soone bring us so refreshnts as well."

Hael poured the prince a cup of tea. With Tracy gone, he's been keeping himself even closer to even though I also had Nancy do that stuff for , but I never asked her to tag along.
I just wanted to keep her close so I could keep an eye on her. Part of it was also because she would see Hael a lot but she never gets to talk to him, Hael ignores her and it constantly blows her self esteem.
Plus a constant reminder he'll never pay her any attention. It's like an undercover punishnt.
And I got rid of Tracy,
It's not like Tracy actually left. She talked to the head Maid and the head maid talked to my father who told her to keep working.
That's just how aningless my words are. That's what happened in my past life too. And that's how I know the other staff must not have stopped harassing Hael, it's part of the reason why I keep him with more too.
The only thing that has changed is that every now and then when I notice a visible injury on Hael, I tend to it for him and he quietly lets do it. I don't say anything about it even though I know the staff must have done sothing to him and he doesn't speak of it either.
"Please," I gestured with my hand, "Have so," I pointed at the tea and he picked the cup up. He also grabbed a cookie from the refreshnt platter but neither did he eat the cookie nor did he sip his tea.
We've been eting for a while now. Our eting consisted of going to visit the palace. We talk about political stuff, random hobbies, and stuff like that. At first he didn't talk much but when I showed that I would listen to him, it's him that talks all the ti and I listen.
Part of the reason why I don't say much is because I actually don't have anything to say.
"I.." He seed to be hesitating, "Had no idea you had such a mature vibe to you," Well, I am ntally a lot older than him,
"And I didn't think you'd co to visit on your own." I smiled, "What brought you here today, your highness?"
"Our previous etings changed my mind..." He softly sipped his tea, "You were different from what I had heard."
I smiled softly, "I see," After all, I never once ntioned Hael in our etings or did any of the things I did in my past life. All those things just landed in trouble and I want to spend my ti quietly before I leave.
I sipped my Tea
I wonder though, can the future change? There haven't been any significant changes but,
I glanced at Hael who stood at a distance from us. In the past, he never made any attempts to talk to . I was always the one who started the conversation, I was always the one who called him over and most of the ti, it was chattering away
But it's different,
I brought the cup down and looked at the garden, a gentle breeze blew past us and it felt like such a peaceful day.
"Lady Corvina," Lyal called out to and I looked at him,
"Yes?"
"I want to make things work between us,"
!!!
"Oh..." I blinked in confusion, "I see," I was not expecting him to say that. I get that our etings went well, but nothing about them was worth ntioning or dare I say, good. They were bland and a formality we had to fulfill.
So why is he suddenly saying that?
"Your highness, I would like that too," I felt Hael's gaze shift and his eyes got stuck on , "But are you really fine with this marriage?" I'm asking because it didn't happen. He fell for Illaris. And I know for a fact that on our engagent day, Illaris had caught his eye.
So why is he saying this?
"Yes," He replied, catching off-guard.
"Oh..." I wasn't expecting it, but maybe it is possible. Maybe because I changed, other things can change too.
"Why? Do you not wish to marry ?"
If the future changes, and Lyal and I do get married. I looked back at him. It wouldn't be a bad life, would it?
I glanced at Hael
That is, if he doesn't kill us all. My marriage is supposed to happen after I turn eighteen but Hael kills everyone the day I hit the mark
I took another sip from the tea,
But what if I get married sooner? Wouldn't that solve my problem?
"No," I nodded softly at Lyal, "I would like that too."
And maybe, I can get rid of my feelings for Hael.

>>Tracy
Nothing is going according to plan!
I bit my thumbnail
I keep trying to set her up one way or another without getting caught but it's like sothing is wrong with Corvina that bitch!! And then she has the audacity to fire ?
HMPH!
Good thing no one listens to that bitch or gives her any importance. I didn't have to beg so much and I got to keep my job.
I stared at the prince and Corvina as they enjoyed their ti in the gazebo. There was a fire burning inside of that I knew wouldn't quench unless I got my revenge.
Fine,
I'll just do it outright next ti
