âWhatâs this? I think itâs for you? Shall I go after them?â
âNo, you donât have to.â
She shook her head and then frowned. It was because the voice coming from the bushes was familiar to her. And as Elisha picked up the letter, she was more and more certain.
The handwriting was also familiar to her.
âNo wayâthisâ¦..â
The princessâs expression was strange.
âErr, Iâve heard that this is common at big banquets and hunting festivals⦠⦠.â
â⦠⦠.â
âSomeone must have fallen for Elisha⦠⦠. It looks like a love letter?â
Elisha frowned; inspecting it, she turned it around slowly. It didnât look poisoned.
Ilione was glancing at her love letter with eyes that were half uneasy and half intrigued.
âWhy donât you open it? You should at least know who the sender is even if you donât respond.â
Elisha honestly didnât want to open the letter. She felt an ominous foreboding. But Ilione was right. She had no choice but to open the letter.
After reading the letter, her face went white.
[From the moment I first saw you, Madam, I was surprised at how different you were from rumors.
My heart was shaken at once, as if the moon and stars were permeating the night sky.
Please give this poor man one chance.
I will show you my heartfelt affection and burning love.
If you agree, please wear a scarf as a hair ornament at tomorrowâs luncheon.

âElisha?â
Her hands began to tremble. Ilione asked in astonishment.
âWhatâs the matter?â
âLucerne must never see this letter.â
âWhat?â
âIlione, concerning this letterâtell Lucerne that Iââ
SnapâThen there was the sound of someone stepping on a tree branch from the other side. She slowly raised her head. Her head was dizzy. Lucerne stood tall.
âElisha. Iâm here to pick you up,â
Lucerne said peacefully.
âSomething interesting just happened.â
Elisha lowered the letter trying to hide it. He must have seen her receiving the letter.
âCome. Show me that.â
â⦠⦠.â
âGeneral⦠⦠.â
Illione opened her mouth to say something, but Lucerneâs cold gaze cut her off.
âPrincess.â
â⦠⦠.â
âIâm sorry, but I would like you to step aside. It is time for my wife and I to go back to our rooms.â
Ilione tried to speak again.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âRight now,â
Lucerne stated with pressure.
âAre you sure youâll be alright?â
When she nodded to indicate that it was okay to go, Ilione left with a puzzled look.
Now, it was only Elisha who stood holding the letter and Lucerne who was left. Her face was pale, and her body trembled finely.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Lucerne approached in the dark. His red eyes glimmered faintly under the magic crystal lights that lit up the garden.
âCome closer. I want to see the contents of the letter.â
âItâs just nonsense. Someone must have been playing a joke. Itâs not something you should see.â
Elisha barely managed to regain her usual composure.
âIâve already told you many times that itâs not up to you to judge such a thing.â
â⦠⦠.â
âItâs all right. I donât know whatâs going on, but Iâll figure it out and fix it for you. Come here.â
Her mouth and throat dried up. Maybe itâs because she eased her guard too much during these few days of peace.
Lucerne seemed to realize that her appearance was unusual. As Elisha held the letter, she lowered her uncertain gaze as if she was very conflicted.
âItâs the first time Iâve seen you do this.â
â⦠⦠.â
âCould it be a letter from someone I know?â
