Chapter 55 (2/2)

Ideal type? In the past I would have replied he was the crown prince, but now I don’t have any intention of loving anyone. I loved the crown prince with all my heart and sincerity, but I still feel heartbroken deeply because I was not rewarded for it.

So, if I had to choose one, I want a man who can make sure that I will never suffer the pain of being abandoned again. Yes, a man who will kneel in front of me and swear he will never abandon me.

I smiled bitterly. Anyway, it didn’t matter to me because I was bound to the imperial family through marriage, so I couldn’t do anything with my own will.

In that respect, there was only one answer. Regardless of whether he was my ideal type or not, the crown prince was not my type at all.

“… I’m late. Let me get out.”

“Oh my god… you won’t tell me about your ideal type?”

“See you later, Lina. Supervise the cleanup work well.”

I stood up, leaving her behind as she stared at me. She looked upset, but she nodded when I told her to clean my room.

Maybe it was because the employees were preparing for the cleanup that the whole mansion was messy, so I headed for the training field. Although I tried not to disturb the knights, some of them already began to look at me. They seemed to expect something from me, I tilted my head. Why are they looking at me like that?

“Good morning, my lady.”

“Good morning, Sir League!”

I smiled at the middle-aged knight who greeted me with a big smile. When I turned to look for a wooden sword for training, I suddenly heard cheers from behind my back.

“Wow, that dark pink!”

“Oh my god! How can she…”

Stunned, I looked back and found a young knight smiling at me brightly and several other knights staring at him as if they were frustrated.

‘What? Dark pink? If it is dark pink, Is he talking about my dark pink hairband? No way, what does my hair band color have to do with them?’

But I still felt strange. There wasn’t anything else in the training field other than this in pink, and their gaze at me bothered me.

I thought I had to go back and question Lina. I walked away when I heard someone calling me from behind.

“Lady, you are here.”

‘Huh? Why is the butler here? He should be very busy overseeing the cleanup.’

“You have a letter from the Imperial Palace. It’s addressed to you, my lady.”

The letter he gave me was in a gorgeous envelope studded with golden pearls on a blue background.

‘Ugh? This is the first time I have seen something like this’. It is clear that the letter was sent by the Imperial Palace since its envelope had the imperial seal.

I flinched, accepting it. In the blue envelope, there was a signature written in block letters, reflecting the character of the sender: Rublis Kamaludin Shana Castina.

The signature was written in a beautiful typeface used by the imperial family, but it sounded cold and hard.

‘Why did he send me a letter?’

I was hesitating for a long time in an uneasy mood, but finally, I opened the seal.

There were a few lines written in white ink on the colorful letter paper studded with golden pearls on a blue background just like the envelope.

< I heard that you returned to the capital city. Are you okay now?

I’m arriving in the capital early next month. I hope to see you then.

Rublis Kamaludin Shana Castina.>

As today is four days from the end of this month, he would arrive in a week or so.

Clang!

My sword and his clashed with a loud noise. My arm was shaking as I was overpowered by the other party. Cold sweat broke out when I felt the other party’s sword pointing closer to me.

‘I can’t do this anymore. I can’t win a battle of strength like this.’

I gently pulled back. At that moment, the guy struck down the sword as if on cue.

I tried to block it, but his sword approached me first. The blade of the sword he wielded stopped right above my forehead. It was a close call.

“I lost.”
