Chapter 32

"Shushu."

I kicked my quilt off with my lips pursed, at that same moment I heard the voice of the Grand Duke who was knocking on the door.

"Yes... "

When I open the door, I have to show the Grand Duke a crestfallen expression.

But I couldn't keep the Grand Duke waiting by the door for too long.

I finally got up and opened the door.

"You called for me?"

When I asked with the door slightly open, the Grand Duke sighed lightly.

"You skipped breakfast. Are you sick?"

He asked, pushing his hand slightly through the slightly opened door trying to widen it more.

He seemed to have realized that I started to hate going out of my room.

I regained a little bit of my composure, thanks to the Grand Duke's considerate attitude that made him not completely open the door against my wishes.

"No."

"But why did you skip your meals? Everyone was worried about you."

"That... "

I hesitated for a moment because I don't know what to say in response.

I don't know why I'm not feeling good.

But what was certain was that I didn't want to worry about making the Grand Duke stand at the door like this.

I don't want to be a troublesome daughter just as soon as I was brought into the family.

I opened the door a little more and looked up carefully at the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke was holding a covered serving plate in his hand.

"What is that?"

"Can I come in?"

The Grand Duke did not answer my question. I nodded and stepped out of the gap in the doorway a little.

"Come and sit down."

The Grand Duke with the plate set on the table called out to me.

I sat down with a confused gaze at the plate.

"I don't like you having an empty stomach. You have to eat well to grow tall."

When the Grand Duke opened the lid of the cloche, the delicious smell of soft seaweed drifted out.

It was a light soup topped with square pieces of bread.

Krook.

At that moment, I held my stomach with an embarrassed blush because of the sound it made.

"Aren't you hungry but you still won't eat?"

The words of the Grand Duke, who spoke indifferently, brought on a sense of shame.

I grabbed the spoon that was placed next to the soup.

"Is it okay for the Grand Duke to bring me soup?"

Even if the Grand Duke brought the plate with the maids and servants to transport it? Are you not disregarding some rule in etiquette or anything like that?

"Then, I couldn't even feed my daughter, what should a Grand Duke do? And not Grand Duke... "

"Yes, Appa."
