Chapter 35

At his words, instead of just smiling and handing him the necklace, I sprang up onto the lap of the Grand Duke who was sitting at his desk.

"Ugh!"

I heard a whisper around me.

But the Grand Duke won't punish me for acting spoiled this much, right?

"It's pretty!"

I put the necklace around the Grand Duke's neck and clapped happily. The dangling necklace on his wide chest looked like a decoration.

"Do you like it?"

"... You made it well."

I also took out a small hand mirror from inside my dress pocket and handed it out to the Grand Duke.

The Grand Duke looked at his reflection for a moment and mumbled something in a hoarse voice.

Then, as if impressed, he shut his mouth and looked at me.

'Your eyes could also moisten.'
(T/N: Shuelina is saying here that the Grand Duke could also have his eyes moisten by suppressing his emotions of crying, because of her gift.)

The Grand Duke seemed a little awkward and was struggling with the medal a little. He was at loss, he was trying to be careful about the medal, so as not to let any single piece of sparkling glitter fall off.

"I have to give you a prize."

The Grand Duke opened a small porcelain box on one side of the desk. As soon as he opened the lid, a cool breeze came out.

It was the snack box from the Grand Duke I had seen last time.

"Say 'ah'."

"Ah-"

The Grand Duke then proceeded to take something out of the container, putting it in my mouth.

"I also had something to say to you, but you came to me on your own."

"It's cold... What do you want to say?"

I asked while eating the cream puff, still sitting on the Grand Duke's lap.

"This time, I am trying to find a tutor for you to receive your education as a princess."

"Studying?"

"If you don't like it... "

"No way!"

I jumped up and down in excitement.

Study! I'm studying too!

'You have to learn for the future.'

Considering that I was embarrassed when I first entered this body due to my lack of knowledge, having it is similar to having power.

Most of all, I wanted to hear that I am a princess who can learn quickly and be smart enough for the Grand Duke.

Since I was adopted, I would have no choice but to go out into the social world someday, but I didn't want to embarrass the Grand Duke and my brothers.

"My daughter will be a model student of learning."

The Grand Duke mumbled with a happy face.

"You are our Lady!"

"You're smart so you'll learn fast!"

Then his aides hurriedly said their words of encouragement.

'I don't think this has happened once or twice... Why was his praise so natural?'
