The reason why the Emperor entrusted the Princess with the pretty heavy duties was all because he looked down on her. Because he didn’t think she was even the slightest threat to him.
And unexpectedly, the Princess performed the entrusted task quite convincingly.
‘Of course, the people involved were avoiding her because they felt dirty, rather than being charismatically gripped by her.’
Even though the employees cursed the Princess from behind, they never did anything against her.
‘The Princess looks easy, but she manages her subordinates well, so the Emperor doesn’t disregard her as a static weight, but keeps her by his side.’
In other words, Natalie held the real power of the Imperial Palace to keep the Emperor from being vigilant and at the same time to prevent anyone from taking her seriously.
‘No one knew that it was all planned action.’
Aria didn’t know either. So how surprised she was when the Princess revealed her true feelings.
“You are the future I did not walk into.”
The first time the Princess approached Aria after she was imprisoned in the Emperor’s cage.
Unlike when she was always surrounded by people, when Aria was alone in the nursery, the Princess was able to avoid everyone’s gaze and approach Aria.
After the banquet was over, Natalie squatted down in front of Aria, who was left alone. She smiled and continued.
“If I had been vigilant for even a moment, I would have become like you.”
Aria looked up at her.
“Why would you say that to me?”
“You’re a bird. It’s your job to sing beautifully. No one listens to you.”
It looks like she wasn’t going to tell her.
As if she already knew, the Princess smiled and sipped the glass she was holding in her hand.
“Well, it doesn’t matter if I say everything now.”
“……”
“Do you want some too?”
Aria turned her head away without a word.
Contrary to the rumor that the Princess raises her hand first if anything goes against her heart, the Princess didn’t care what Aria’s attitude was.
“Unlike you, I have achieved a dream.”
At that time, Aria thought. ‘What do you mean? ‘
Did she come to ridicule the bird that was caught singing off guard? Or was she asking for a compliment because she has achieved her dream?
With a pitiful expression, the Princess giggled and smiled as she turned her back to Aria, who was sitting there.
“Good health and long life. It was my dream.”
It was in past tense.
She didn’t seem to be very happy with the fact that she had achieved her dream of being in good health and had a long life.
“I’m going to be sold as the third concubine of Emperor Garcia so that I don’t die again this time.”
Aria recently recalled the words that the Princess’ marriage had been decided. She had passed her marriageable age, and soon she was going to become an exiled Princess.
She had no choice.
“I knew my stupid brother was going to cause a big accident someday, but I didn’t know it was going to ruin the empire.”
