Do Your Best and Regret

Chapter 97

"Wow, how cruel Princess, no, Lady! How dare you burst out laughing in front of me?"

The Princess screamed in reproach, her face turning bright red.

But I couldn't hold back my laughter.

Maybe a mother and daughter are the same. No, if it's something that makes me laugh so much, all three, including the Prince, were the same.

Suddenly I stopped laughing. And I looked at the Princess thoughtfully.

Downcast eyes as if looking down at me, and even short, arrogant orders.

"How can you not change?"

I spoke softly. All the memories I thought I had shaken off suddenly began to creep up through the gaps.

"Things are completely different now than when Her Highness gave me your first orders."

"Ha, things have changed! What kind of nonsense are you talking about when I tell you to hand over the mine!"

It was urgent, but I kept saying something. Incomprehensible. The Princess suddenly shouted out of her nervousness.

A faint smile appeared on my face.

"You are late, Your Highness."

"What?"

It was only a beat later that the Princess understood what I meant when she heard my soft voice.

The Princess immediately glared at me with her bright blue eyes. If she could kill with a look, the Princess would have killed me right now.

The sound of her breathing became increasingly rough. But I shrugged my shoulders in a more relaxed manner than anyone else.

"You're skipping it. Of course, that was what I received in return for the transaction."

"What a price, what a shameful thing for the royal family's treasure...!"

The Princess, who had unconditionally denied my words, suddenly swallowed her exhaled breath. Now that she think about it, she was thinking about getting the mine back, so she forgot why she gave it to me.

Numerous thoughts flickered over the Princess's eyes. I smiled brightly.

"Yes. Her Royal Highness."

"..."

"I received the White Crystal Mine as a sign of silence about Her Highness's affairs, and Her Highness promised to keep my secret."

Secret. The pronunciation of those two letters sounded particularly vivid.

The Princess's fingertips trembled. Her mess of fingertips caught my eye, but it didn't matter.

"But if you keep telling me to give up the mine, I will. Can I go outside right away and reveal in front of all the nobles and delegations that I was the one who restored the Spring Palace's retail estate?"

A kind voice echoed over the balcony. The startled Princess quickly looked around her and screamed, as if covering my voice.

"How dare you, this cheeky thing!"

"Your Highness. The person who reminded me that asking for favors is not what you do is telling me."

"I can't believe I'm doing you a favor!"

"Is it okay to ask a favor from such a high place, Her Royal Highness?"

It was for a moment that the Princess, who was frightened and took a step back, suddenly stopped. The words in Olivia's quiet voice were definitely the words she said one sunny day.
