Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 78

"His Royal Highness is coming."

At the maid's urgent voice, Baroness Sophron hurried out of the bedroom. She followed behind and the maids prepared to welcome the Prince.

The sound of horses coming from outside the window was getting closer. Maria slowly stood up. She didn't say a word when the maid came over and adjusted her pillow comfortably. The maid's hesitation gave the impression that she was watching Maria. This was it.

Maria twitched the corner of her lip. This heart-throbbing, ecstatic feeling of superiority. Her father's words that she should be merciless towards those under her who did not obey her showed clear results. She was foolish in trying to treat them leniently because she thought they were her people.

"The maid outside. I'm telling you to stay safe in a place I can't see."

"Yes."

The maid lowered her head and went out of the bedroom. She was a maid and she no longer called her 'Young Lady'. Everything went perfectly for her. Baroness Sopron, who had a stiff neck, also bowed her head to her. The same was true for the maids who were not polite. And this 'Prince Princess's' bedroom, which was a forbidden area and could not be entered.

"There, even Princess Madeleine couldn't go in."

Suddenly, Maria remembered a little while ago when she had requested this room. At the same time, the maid's voice, clearly embarrassed, came to mind.

"Yes. I will guide you right away."

The stern face of Baroness Sophron, who led her to the bedroom without saying anything, even though she was reluctant to do so. Now, if only Leopold finds out about this situation, her job is done.

Before we knew it, the sunlight pouring in outside the window was coloring the roof of Tiese Palace. It was beautiful scenery, like Maria's shiny blonde hair. It was then. The bedroom suddenly opened without knocking. There was definitely only one person like this. The lover she love so much that her heart trembles.

"Leopold!"

Joy, sadness, and complaints crossed over Maria's beautiful face. She wanted Leopold to come quickly and comfort her. But Maria, who turned to Leopold, paused without realizing it. Leopold's face was unusual. This is the first time he looks at her with such a scary face...

As she thought absentmindedly, Maria clenched her fists, feeling a sense of déjà vu. No, once. She's only seen it once. In the drawing room of this palace. That's when she heard uncertain reports about the Grand Duke and Olivia's attendance at the summer banquet.

"If you don't have a cause, you have to create one."

Unbelievably, Leopold treated her with such coldness that it took her breath away. A bluish fear washed over Maria's fragile face that seemed ready to break at any moment.

But Instead of looking at his beloved lover's anxiety, Leopold exhaled lightly. He was shocked. This bedroom...

Arrogant eyes carefully examined the bedroom. Leopold lifted his hand and pressed it to his temple. In such silence that even the sound of breathing could be heard, the maids who were watching the Prince's movements were very nervous. If the lover's injury was the reason for the fierce shaking like the eve of a storm, it was not surprising that a maid disappeared from Tiase Palace today.

"Everyone takes off their seats, except the Count."

The maids who followed the Prince's quiet words quickly went outside. Only after confirming that the door was closed did Leopold come striding towards Maria.

Maria reflexively lowered the corners of her eyes.

"I, I, am sick, Leopold."

A sad aura appeared on her lovely face. Leopold spoke a beat slowly as he saw the pitiful sight of people wearing out their children. Still, she is his lover.
