“Ancia, what’s wrong?”

“You woke up too late, get up!”

“No.”

Blake grumbled as he rubbed his face against my hands.

“It’s so nice to see my wife’s face right after I wake up.”
Ancia’s heart beat wildly thanks to his cute antics.

“Get up!”
I quickly went under the blankets to hide my red face.

I pulled away his blanket too.

“You’re too much…”

“Too much? It’s already 10 o’clock!”
I wasn’t saying all that deliberately. We really did wake up too late.

“I can’t believe you took it off in the morning.”

If anyone heard that, it would cause a misunderstanding!

His habit of making ambiguous comments was still the same. Though, before he didn’t understand any of it.

“You should say it clearly. I only took off your blanket!”
“Take what off…”

He looked at me coyly while holding the edge of his blanket.

In contrast to his innocent eyes, his voice was husky.

I couldn’t tell whether or not he was making fun of me.

In any case, I couldn’t be swayed by it.

I pulled the entire blanket off of him.

“Wake up!”

“Were you really Rose before?”

Chelsea looked at my face.

“Yes.”

I said while nodding.

Chelsea was dumbfounded.

“Your Highness, please speak to me at ease.”

“Oh, right…”

It was very awkward for me to talk informally, perhaps because of my time as Rose.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t tell you the truth, Chelsea.”

“No, I’m sure you had your reasons.”

She answered calmly and added, “But it really is amazing.”

“Huh?”

“I thought the Crown Prince wouldn’t even look at another woman. But I thought I was wrong when I saw him treating Rose well. Turns out, you two were the same person.”
She bowed politely while holding the hem of her skirt.

“Congratulations on your return. It’s an honor to have you back.”

Chelsea greeted me politely. I held her hands.

“Chelsea, thank you very much for being so nice to me.”
“No need to thank me. It’s part of my duty as a maid.”

“I heard it was you who insisted on giving my food to the Crown Prince.”
“I just didn’t want to see the dishes you made so painstaking be thrown away. Besides, even if it wasn’t for that, the Crown Prince had already recognized you.”

“Still, thank you very much.”

Chelsea never discriminated against my appearance and status. Rather, she helped me alot when I was Rose.

I would never forget what she did for me.

***

Except for Chelsea, the other maids had all quit their jobs. It wasn’t just the maids.
