Chapter 1.2 (1/2)

“Where’s the princess?”

The soldier shouted at them with a fierce look. Luana and the nanny exchanged glances for a moment, while putting their empty bowls of sujebi down.

‘You’re here, should we tell them?”

‘Yes, after all I am a princess. But why are they looking for a princess?’

‘I don’t know.’

Luana slowly raised her hand. The intimidating eyes of the knight fell upon her raised hand.

“Excuse me.”

“Where is the princess! If you don’t speak now, I can’t guarantee your life.”

“I am the princess.”

The knight, who was shouting and bellowing, shut his mouth. The eyes of Luana and the Knight met.

“You’re so loyal! Do you want to help the princess escape by pretending to be her? But remember! Your master wouldn’t protect a lowly maid like you!”

“I am the princess!”

“Tell me where the princess is right now!”

“Dear Knight, I understand your unwillingness to believe.”

‘Are you my nanny or my enemy? How could you understand that?’ Luana pouted her mouth.

“But this is the princess.”

For a moment there was silence in the kitchen.

“The sixth princess, Luana?”

“That’s right.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Really? Is it really true? The knight’s eyes glanced over Luana with suspicion. She was wearing an old dress which has been mended several times. Her corset was not tightened properly and her stomach was bulging because of the sujebi she just ate. Her greyish beige hair was unique, but it wasn’t properly trimmed, making it look very unkempt. Looking closely, she had good skin and even looked quite cute, but many maids had such an appearance. He couldn’t believe it.

This was also because princesses of the Alluin kingdom were all famous for their beauty.

“I don’t come from a noble family.”

Luana told the truth to the Knight, who looked very confused. She got her appearance from her mother’s side. Her mother was a maid who worked in the laundry and accidentally spent a night with the king to give birth to Luana, but she was not a beauty. But if you look closely, she was pretty cute!

“Search in case if she’s hiding!”

The Knight gave orders to the soldiers, but the only thing that came out from the search were rotten and dirty possessions.

‘You shouldn’t have expected too much from this abandoned palace in the first place.’

“We have to take the princess with us, Sir Rugard.”

The knight, who was called Rugard glared at Luana.

“Are you really a princess?”
