"Please take this."

I was hoping to have a conversation with Lucas to make him give up, but it made me feel even worse.

I folded Lucas' handkerchief into a square.

"I need to go back now."

"Just take it with y... no, wash it."

Lucas turned away from my hand and muttered quietly. I sat on the handkerchief for only a short time but now I have to wash it as well as return it to him.

'Why would you be so attached to a handkerchief? You're a Crown Prince with a lot of money!'

While it wasn't a very difficult request as I won't wash it myself, I somehow felt uncomfortable. Do we have to meet again so I can return it to you? Thinking that far, I realized that his intention was to ask for a second meeting.

"You must give it to me yourself. I will never receive it if you ask your maid or servant to return it."

As I thought, Lucas spoke in a very strong tone, and fearing that I would reject his request, he immediately got up and disappeared.

I held the handkerchief engraved with his initials in my hand and stared blankly in the direction he disappeared. And when I turned back the way I came and headed towards the entrance of the main building, Franc ran to me with a tearful face.

"Miss! Where have you been? You disappeared suddenly so I had to look for you for a long time."

"I went for a walk... Why are you looking for me?"

"The meal is ready but you were nowhere to be found......"

Uhm, is that time already?

Maybe it was because I'm still young and I have short legs that's why it took me a long time to walk. I'm sure supper is all ready, and if I don't show up now, the Grand Duke and my brothers will start a riot that will turn the mansion upside down. I felt a little sorry towards Franc.

"I thought I only went for a short walk... sorry."

"Uh... no. First, let's go to eat, Lady."

Franc looked embarrassed by my apology, and then led me straight to the dining room. It really seemed like everyone had gathered.

(W) "Shushu! Come here."

(D) "Ah, it's Shushu! Sit down quickly."

Wyndert greeted me warmly as soon as I entered the dining room. Beside him, Deleign was doing all sorts of things to get the attention of the dragon.

When I appeared, he hurriedly pretended that he was waiting for me without trying to play and shouted, 'It's Shushu!' but I could already see the tiny cracks of curiosity in his facial expression. He looked puzzled when I gave him an inexplicable gaze, but eventually giggled along with me.

"Brother, earlier..."

"Huh?"

I wanted to say 'I saw you in the garden earlier!' to make fun of him, but I stopped when I saw his face full of affection for me.

I just shook my head and said.

"Earlier, I wanted to see you but I couldn't find you so I was sad!"

"Ah... did you? Oh my gosh, your oppa wasn't aware of our Shushu's heart!"
