Chapter 41 (1/2)

The Reincarnated Princess’s Bashfulness

“Princess Rosemarie, it is almost time”

“What, already?”

Klaus’s voice pulled , and I blanched when I checked the clock

Shoot, there were only ten

I inserted a book up fro my attire, I left the room

My pulse was racing, but a princess of the realh the halls, so I speed walked with a care for elegance What the heck does elegant speed walking even mean, a voice mocked

I had asked Lady Irene for some of her time today, and I’asked to be present as henever the conversation took place, and, for so as well

My intent had been to arrive early so that I could greet theht I had some leeway to relax, but am I not allowed to do that either?

There was a lot of tiainst ifted to n country Was that the reason for my downfall?

If you’re a bookworm, then I think you’d be able to relate I love books, and when I read I often forget the ti the inevitable as long as possible, telling e Two to three hours disappearing in this fashi+on was common

If you already knoill happen, then don’t read! I have no comeback for this

I n origin; possibly a cookbook

I’ll just take a peek, I lied to myself, and cracked it open, only to find the words incoot curious despitea closer look It seeinated frodoe was a little different froinated from the latter, for the basic structure was similar

Maybe it’s a dialect, I thought, and the tily at a dictionary passed by in a flash

I’ve inherited a bit of the geek fro I have a habit of becoets to a point where I sees, and I remember how often it shocked my friends and family

I don’t consider it a bad habit, though if it got to a point where it hinderedit to appointments on time, then I should probably work on it a little

I flen the stairs in a quick pace I was rushi+ng, so I couldn’t help it if my steps were hurried, but I was careful to make as little noise as possible, and…

Hmm??

I strainedof bells reached me

The sound was clear and rhythmic I stepped off the stairs and turned in the corridor, looking down at my clothes

Today’s outfit and accessories shouldn’t have bells on them

My light pink dress was scattered with small flowers, ribbons at the front, and lace on the cuffs, but not a single metallic piece of ornale small rose

My low-heeled pun

I looked down atsmall shadow

Bells chimed with every adorable footstep, and I looked on in stunned surprise as it passed byover its shoulder

The black cat with its glossy coat looked at htly A silver bell jingled lightly where it hung on the red ribbon tied around its neck

“Nero!”

The black cat meowed cutely back at me

My baby is so sether!

I crouched and picked him up

Nero made no resistance and settled easily into my arms as I scolded him, No!

“What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you not to run around?”

I looked at hi inti else but puzzlement

damn it, he’s cute! My baby is so cute! So cute the whole world is jealous!

He purred contentedly when I brushed hier

I decided to nae the other day when I nearly ran it over

Michael can’t keep pets at the Great Temple where he stays, so I took Nero in instead, and now I’m hopelessly in love

Like a grandfather enarandchild, I’, but I still can’t allow hih the castle

“You were hurt just the other day”

Brush aside the fur and at the base of his right hind leg you’ll find a scar

He was ale because he couldn’t move, and it must have been a very deep bite, because even traces remain even now

However, in a strange turn of events, the same day I adopted Nero, the wound had almost completely closed, and in the span of a ith h he ain, so even now I don’t understand hoas possible

Well, even if the reason wasn’t clear, I was glad to have him better

I was just afraid his wound would open up again if given the chance, so I made him stay inside my room

I walked while talking to o back to my room I wonder if there’s someone who can take you back for me?”

Nero protested in a louder voice I wondered what he was saying

Stretching in my arms, he reached for my cheek with a limb His paw made firm contact Sooo cute

I brought ain

“Don’t you meow at me”

I’ me inside Let me out once in a while, he probably said

It won’t be a formal session, and they’re all friends, so even if I take Nero along they probably won’t get upset, I thought Besides, he was a very smart boy

“You won’t cause trouble?”

“Meew”
