Whether she could see this situation or not, Evelyn calmly stared at me with relaxed eyes.
âOh⦠Princess, youâre as beautiful as ever today. How can I describe your beauty with mere words? I donât want to describe you as angelic because itâs said too often nowadays. Oh, do forgive me. I donât have the vocabulary to praise you properly, Princess!â
â⦠I donât think you need to praise me that much.â
âBut itâs alright, Princess. Even the sight of you sighing is just too beautiful to behold!â
âYouâre scary, you know.â
Listen! It was apparent she wasnât listening to me even when I called her. Still, today, Evelyn ignored my words and focused on staring at me.
âSomebody help me!â
âThere she goes again today. I wonder when sheâll get tired of it.â
âI wonder.â
Sanse and Valer watched us as if something interesting had happened. In comparison to them, Graecito seemed somewhat nervous.
Whatâs wrong with him?
Anyway, thatâs not the problem now. I wanted to escape and avoid Evelynâs uncomfortable gaze somehow.
âHappy birthday. Here, this is my gift for you.â
Although I was planning to give him this after the party, Graecito, who was absent-minded, suddenly flinched by the giftâs sudden baptism. I tilted my head.
Huh? What was it?
Evelyn was in a hurry to be polite, checking if she felt something once I gave him a present. Yeah, it looked like she still remembered what this party was about.
âHappy birthday, Lord Graecitoâ
âOh⦠yes. Thank you, Lady Evelyn.â
Hmmâ¦itâs not like this was his first time meeting her, but Graecitoâs reaction was odd today. Thatâs suspicious.
I was looking at Cito for no reason because I felt suspicious; as soon as she finished saying hello to Graecito, Evelyn snatched my arm.
âNow, princess. Letâs go. You must reveal your beauty to the world!â
âNo, I donât think thatâs necessaryâ¦â
âThatâs not true. It will be an insult to your beauty if we hide it in the shadows like this! You must hear more praise from other people as well!â
What was she talking about? That sounded ridiculous!
I looked around Sanse in a hurry. Sanse stealthily avoided my gaze; Valer did the same!
I never said it was alright to turn away from me!
My desperate eyes touched the three, but I soon realized that there would be no prince who would save me.
Sob sob. I thought it would happen.
Well, life wasnât fair!
