Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 6

The man left the narrow road and entered the Garden of the Four Seasons. The man, who was looking around as if it was his first time here, spotted someone and ran quickly. In the direction the man was heading, there was a brown-haired man wearing a unique knightly uniform. The elaborate decorations and flashy lace on the uniform looked like something you would only see in a play, but the man embraced the brown-haired man as if to prove that he was the correct knight. A faint smile appeared and disappeared on my lips as I watched the scene.

"Sally. Let's go now."

"Yes, Miss."

I walked back the way she came. Sally was so impressed by the man's looks that she kept talking about him.

"Now that I think about it, that guy. He didn't even reveal his name. He said he was giving you a precious gift."

"We won't ever meet again anyway."

"Still. Who knows, if you meet again, he might bring you a truly precious gift."

As the bright sunlight hit, my silver hair sparkled beautifully. Who would my hair be so shiny? The person who turned to look at me without thinking blinked and stared at me in disbelief. The more you look at it, the dazzlingly beautiful white face with a strange aura that catches your eye, plus the silver hair and green eyes that are the hallmarks of the Madeleine family......!

People's eyes widened when they recognized me. I walked gracefully. The gazes pouring in were multifaceted. Cold eyes that prick like needles and curious eyes.

"...That young Lady is 'the' Princess?"

"Okay. I heard that from the very beginning, she gives off a strange aura."

Dirty gazes scan me. A few years ago, I was embarrassed and dared to ask people around me!

Sally, who had been shouting, now followed me with a resolute attitude.

She seemed to have adapted. She is a noble Princess and the fiancée of the Prince who was promised the position of Crown Princess. She is someone who has been on the chopping block for several years at the same time. That was me. Olivia Madeleine.

I looked at the shining sunlight. Maybe I should go to the bookstore next, I thought...

The Madeleines' carriage slowly departed. The people who had been glancing at the carriage and talking behind it all naturally dispersed. In the alley of the Garden of the Four Seasons, which had returned to its lively daily life, the two men stood still.

Winster Calter, in his lace livery, brushed his brown hair wildly and looked down at his clothes. Race on a knight's uniform! There was no clown. Winster looked beside him with his resentful eyes

However, instead of pointing out the disrespectful look in his eyes as usual, his Boss just stared at the carriage moving away like a dot. Winster, seeing that expression, was astonished, forgetting his complaints about his knight's uniform.

Oh, my God. If I'm not mistaken, the expression on my superior's face was one of longing.

How much I miss Grand Duke Edwin Vikander Lowell, the ruthless monarch of the North, the victor on the battlefield who led us to victory in every war he participated in!

It's been over 5 years since we've been on the battlefield together, but this is the first time I've seen the Grand Duke look like that. A person who is so merciless that he is called a killer can have such a sad expression.

And that too, towards the daughter of Duke Madeleine, the leader of the Imperial faction whom he hated so much.

A shiver ran down my spine. Winster spoke cautiously.
