My mouth was also very sneaky today.

My sudden tone was so cheerful that it was weird even to my own ears.

Her brown eyes glistened with mirth, as if she knew I'd ask this.

"You know better than anyone else. It's just a matter of time, and everyone knows you'll leave this castle anytime."

"My reputation is indeed, a bit glamorous. But we've already had our first time after getting married. Where would I go after making such a sacred offering of myself?"

"The Lord..."

"Don't worry, I won't go out of here, even if you pray till your tongue falls out."

Unexpected words were popping out as if there was some kind of spell on my tongue.

The maid, who was staring at my smiling face with a look similar to Freya, soon smiled again.

"First love is like a sweet dream. Even though I am unfamiliar with the way he looks these days, you must feel safe."

Oh, was this the first time she was talking about him? Why the heck did these northerners love to talk about his first love?

"It's just a midsummer night's dream after all. Especially for Young Master. I'm telling you this for your wellness, but in the end, you will realize who is most appropriate as the mistress of this castle."

There was silence.

Amid a cold and twisted silence, the maid was sitting idle waiting for my response.

How long have you been doing that?

Perhaps because she thought there was no sign of a reaction, but the maid finally bent her head slightly and turned away. Her walking manner made her seem really elated.

I could guess who the most appropriate person was as the hostess of her castle.

Wasn't that too obvious?

By comparison, I would have been just a psychopath who had invaded this noble land.

Like a corrupt Pope's daughter, a member of a dirty and ugly family.

That's why I knew.

I already knew, but why was everyone trying to come forward and remind me?

I was just going to let it go. I was going to let everything that happened the other day go away. I was really trying to behave.

Why can't you just leave me be?

I was having a headache. My head was killing me.

The inside of my ribs shook violently as I stood with a blank smile.

Yes, that's it.

It was unsettling to hear that everyone was worried and coming forward to me because this was Izek's first true love.

The excuse of saying it for me couldn't have been more selfish.

How did they know what it meant for me?

I was really just trying to stay lowkey.

If I could live, I was going to give them everything they wanted, do whatever they wanted, lie flat and live quietly.

I tried to live quietly, but they didn't help me.

Well, there were a lot of people who twisted everything I did anyway. There were so many people who couldn't accept it.

No matter how much I proved that I was not such a smart person, they would decide on their own and point fingers at me, whenever the secret related to monsters got revealed.
