"Heh, I'm sorry!"
"Since there is a crime, let's assume that it is not right. But now it is not Her Highness Princess Lena's trio."
"Until now, have you been Princess Lena's spy?"
"That's a secret."
"Just say it's right."
He was a man who didn't tell lies.
"Why did you leave it behind?"
"Because we don't need each other anymore."
I sighed deeply into his ear. Then he shrank his shoulders as if tickled. It was ridiculous, and I felt sorry for the fact that it was Lena's spy, so I deliberately blew a big breath into his ear, saying. "Whoa, whoa!"
"La... Lady!"
Stefano exclaimed in embarrassment. His auricles are red. It was the first time I had seen him so panicked, and laughter erupted from under my belly.
"Are you feeling a little relieved now?"
I laughed and chuckled for a long time when Stefano asked.
"Is this the only punishment for spying? You should be executed."
Stefano flinched.
"You really look a lot like His Majesty."
At those words, the Emperor's voice echoed loudly in my head.
"Let's send them to a frozen land far away. let them live in prison for ten years, and then put them in a hot cauldron and steam them to death!"
"Immediately weave your arms and legs like a stick, stick them on an iron skewer, and throw them into the crow's food!"
I cried.
"How can you say that? It's too much!"
"It's natural for the lady to resemble His Majesty, but why are you so stubborn?"
The usual Stefano came back and laughed at me. It went up a bit, but it didn't feel that bad. It was strange. From the time Madame Marie told me to be wary of him, and since he revealed himself to be the spy, he has been strangely comfortable until now. I didn't believe it. Does it mean that you believe in being easily carried up?
"How is your relationship with Duke Albenovic? I heard that the Duke asked His Majesty to skip the engagement ceremony at the dinner and hold the wedding ceremony."
Stefano asked. He probably heard it from Princess Lena. He added without waiting for my answer
"Everyone says that the Fuje and Lady get along well, but I think it's the opposite."
In an instant, my heart sank. Stefano didn't ask, but seemed to know everything and talk. It wasn't for nothing. I sighed instead of answering the question.
I also wanted to go home. When I went back, I wanted to go back to that lonely place where there was no one to welcome me.
"Isn't there such a thing as a wizard here?"
I asked.
"I want to go back to the world I was in."
Even though it was a bombshell declaration that came out of a state of desperation, Stefano showed no signs of surprise. In the future, I may already be biting my tongue, but at least it was so for me, who was close to his back. No matter how good I was, he wouldn't know that I had crossed over from another world, but it was strange.
"So you tried to throw yourself into the pond again?"
Stefano pondered for a long time and then asked.
I remembered his attitude of doubting my words that I had accidentally fallen into a pond on the first day I woke up in this world.
'Could it be that Edita... Did she commit suicide?'
"There is a sorcerer."
My ominous premonition was dispelled like smoke by Stefano's next words. Edita's suicide was shocking, but I was just an ordinary person who valued my work more.
"Really?"
Instead, you have to find it yourself. Who doesn't tell you? It's like a way to go back.
I was overwhelmed by those words. In the end, there was no answer.
That's right. Even if you watch movies and novels, there is no way that a person who has gone to another world can return so easily.
I gave up and muttered to him.
"You're not surprised by what I say."
"When people go crazy, they make all their noises."
"Are you saying I'm crazy?"
"So, is there any way not to go crazy in this situation?"
Yes, it would be much more common sense for Stefano to think that I was a crazy woman. Instead of arguing with him, I brought up another question.
"A crazy woman will ask you just one question. What happened between Edita and Brandt?"
This question, as expected, caused a terrifying silence between Stefano and me.
A woman with a fiancé and a man who was hurt because he loved her. I had to know about that political drama that perhaps even the Baron of Orleans was involved in. That's how I was able to survive here.
"They met.... They broke up. It wasn't either of their faults that they broke up."
Figured! What did the two of them have... Wait, what?
"Have we met? I had a fiancé. And I think Eddie, or rather, I did something wrong..."
"Oh, that's the question. Don't try to get too much from Sma spy. And I've answered that before. Think about it."
Stefano's answer was disappointing. But he carefully put me down on the floor before I could ask further. Then he quickly hid on the other side of the maze.
"I... Ste..!"
"Lady!"
I couldn't catch Stefano. It was because Madame Marie hugged me.
"Where have you been until this time?"
"I can't find a way out..."
While answering Madan Marie, who was crying, I looked inside the maze.
"You're out, so it's okay. Come on. Oh my God, Lady! Barefoot! Hurry up and put on your shoes!"
Even as I was held by Madame Marie and put on my shoes again, I couldn't come to my senses because of the snowballing of questions.
It seemed clear, but it was confusing. Brandt and Edita. As expected, there was a political relationship between the two. However, unlike Brandt's resentment against me. Stefano said that this problem was 'no one's fault.'
Moreover, his last words, what he had answered me before.
"The person who is about to get married shouldn't do this."
Suddenly, my temples felt dull pain. The word "marriage" stuck in my head. Those words became the key, and Stefano appeared in my memory not long ago. He looked at me and said.
"If you get married and think something is wrong, find me."
I stayed awake all night. It was a sleeplessness that lasted for about a month after my work in the maze garden.
I pretended to be asleep to soothe Madame Marie, who was beginning to worry. However, even when I turned off the light and lay in bed, I couldn't fall asleep. It wasn't that I didn't sleep on purpose, but it was terrible Insomnia. I wanted to hurry up and throw myself into a sweet dream.
But even now, before I got married, this sleeplessness hadn't left me.
'If you can't sleep, your eyes will be blind, and if your eyes are blind, you won't be a beautiful bride.'
Ironically, even in this situation, I was worried about my appearance at the wedding ceremony. However, when I got up from anxiety and inadvertently looked at the woman's reflection in the mirror in the room, I realized that such worries were unfounded. There was only a blonde beauty who was frowning as she sprayed her flesh.
It was a hasty marriage. I had a lot to prepare for, even though I couldn't sleep.
At first, Madam Marie tried every possible way, saying that I had to get my memory back by any means until the wedding ceremony was held. To avoid the eyes of the court, she summoned a doctor from a private house and even mobilized folk beliefs. However, my memory showed no signs of returning.
So Madame Marie changed her strategy. So that no one would notice that I had lost my memory. She invited all the famous people in Ludenbach, as well as the palace, to participate in my bridal class for a month.
I was busy learning everything from marriage procedures to etiquette, roles, and dances at receptions, and I was busy for a month.
In addition, even the Emperor said that he wanted to see his daughter, who was getting married soon, so he called me to the Emperor's dining room every day to eat.
Unlike just eating in a villa, the procedure for eating in the Emperor's dining room was complicated. In the end, when the day got dark, I was exhausted.
Even so, there were thoughts that if I lay alone at night, it would attack my head and prevent me from falling asleep.
I asked Madame Marie what had happened between me and Prince Albrenovic, but she only said that I had not had any relationship before. Stefano was just saying that it would have been better not to listen, and I couldn't bear to ask Brandt, who was the person involved.
'I have amnesia, so can you tell me what we had a relationship with in the past?'
If I said that, it was clear that there would be more division.
In the end, I had no choice but to find out.
But how? And even if I find out, what can I change? How can I do something for a man who is so angry? What about Stefano's words that hint at an extraordinary раst?
Edita might have had an accident that she couldn't handle, and was in a hurry.
Amid this worry and suffering, the wedding ceremony for Lady Edita, who lost her fiancé and became ambiguous, is tomorrow.
A week ago, we had a rehearsal at the Temple of Mua, where the wedding ceremony was held. The day before the rehearsal, the wedding dress arrived at the Albrenovic public house.
"Oh my God. It's so beautiful."
"I've seen many gorgeous and beautiful wedding dresses, but I've never seen such a luxurious and elegant wedding dress."
The maids gathered like sparrows to look at the wedding dresses. The servant who brought the dress shrugged his shoulders and added.
"This is the only dress that the Duke personally hired the best designer to order."
The pure white and rich wedding dress was elegant in itself. The color of the fabric was different. Even I, as a layman, could immediately see that the dress was very valuable. Moreover, I was a little excited when I heard that it was the only dress he ordered himself.
In the capital, Ludens, Duke Albrenovic's heart for Lady Edita spread in an instant. The fact that Brandt never showed up during a week's rehearsal was not a very Important fact in front of the expensive dress.
My expectations of making progress with Brandt, even for a short period of time, were shattered.
In the end, my heart gradually leaned towards the pond.
'I'm going back. That's what I was going to do from the beginning.'
Even if I threw myself into an artificial pond, I wasn't sure if I would be able to return to where I was, but it was worth trying.
In fact, I was a little tired. Colorful costumes, sweet food, and even the kind maids who served to go to the bathroom, and Madam Marie, who was spacious but kind.
At first, all of these things were strange and fascinating.
However, from the time I got involved with Brandt, I became nervous about even the smallest things, as if I had been stabbed by a thorn. If there is someone close to me who treats me like that, how can I not do this if he is the one who will become my husband?
I would rather go hack at the risk of my life. It wouldn't be much of a place where I used to live, but I thought I could still be quiet and alone. As it has always been.
It was dawn.
I stood up from my seat while staring at the wedding dress that was hanging finely for tomorrow's bride. My feet turned out of the palace. I stepped on the dirt barefoot, and I was just wearing a chemise.
The artificial pond was calm. Even the fish seemed to be asleep, and only the petals floating on the water were swaying. I wasn't going to die, but I was afraid because I was throwing myself into cold water anyway. After taking a deep breath, I took three deep breaths.
"One, two... Three!"
If I hesitated, I felt like I couldn't do it. So I cleared all my thoughts and threw myself into the cold pond.
The cold air envelops my whole body, and my ears are... It rang. When I opened my eyes, it was dark everywhere, so I was scared, but I tried to endure it. Soon, my mind became dazed, and my body sank deeper. It felt like a dream.
