"Lalaine, please stay there. I want to say something" I was about to stand to greet him since it has been a while since we last met each other personally due to busy schedule regarding the plan to kill the dragon. As you know, he's now the duke and he needed to train his knights before coming into  the forest. but when I was still about to do so, he spoke. Of course, after I heard him say that, I stopped myself from standing. Rather, I stayed seated as I look at him in a confuse way 'What's with him? Why is he asking me to stay seated? And why is he asking me to maintain a distance between us?' Thoughts and questions came to me. I clicked my tongue then turned my head toward him. He probably saw my frowning forehead as he laughed slightly. 'How handsome. No matter how much I look at him, there's nothing I can say aside from praises'   Well, he's a male lead so it's obvious that he will have a good features Just then,

"N-no, I think you should say what you wanted to say for now" I said shyly as well. Of course, before I spoke those words, I hesiatated first and weighed my words. In tjis kinds of things, it's not good to make a wrong move. After a while of thinking, that's when I came into a conclusion that this choice is the best Yes, This is the best choice. After all, there's no way that I'll be able to eat comfortably while being anxious on what his real purpose is and what is it that he has been contemplating to ask me. I don't think I'll be able to eat properly after he say what he needed to say as well of course since obviously, my mind will surely float around thinking about what he said but it's better than getting choked while eating because I am wondering hard what he's about to say. Anyway, since this is the choice U have decided, I said it. Hearing my answer, his face once again got tense while slightly blushing. 'His exp

Suddenly, I fell into panic 'W-what?!'   This is the route of this world that I have never thought even once. Aside from I am more than certain that there's no way that a male lead would fell for a villainess, I also believe that the fate of the lead couple is fated so no matter what happens, they will end up together. After all, they are destined to live side by side with each other. Really.... How come that this male lead suddenly confessed his feelings toward me claiming that he have been showing it to me almost everyday? How come I didn't noticed it? How dense I am to not to feel anything? How is this possible? Isn't yhis juat too much? This world is made for them so if thay won't end up together, I don't think this world will hold a value at all.   But really.. How come I didn't noticed at all? How? Is it because I am too focused on my survival that I didn't even see his feelings? I am always reading his thoughts

"If things goes this way, my life will be ruined" I uttered unintentionalky. I was supposed to say to to mysekf without speaking but because of my clouded my mind, I said it accidentally. In result, the maids who are currently working looked at me curiously. They are probably wondering what happened for me to speak such words and in a fuerce way at that. "Your highness? Are you alright?" Again, the same maid asked me this question. She have a worried look on her this time as well. I am glad that she's worried but rather than feeling touched by her actions, I felt myself being ashamed. Of course, as she do that, I can't help but just smile. After all, I feel embarassed at what I suddenly did."Yes, don't worry. I'm really fine. I just spoke that way to wake myself up more" Fortubately, it seems like she bought my lie. Anyway, hearing my answer, they again went back to work. As of now, they are preparing my breakfast at my table here in my room. As they move hastil

With those thoughts, I finished bathing immediately and ordered my servant to get me an ink and a paper to write a summon letter to the heroine's house and to Calix. "Here it is your highness" As my lady in waiting said these words, he handed me a couple of papers with a royal crest on it along the ink. She must have figured out that I will writr a letter that's why she gave the paper with a royal crest. As you know, letters in this world must have it's own crest before delivering it to the receiver. I don't know why but it is especially needed for nobles and imperial family so that the sender cab be recognized immediately"Thank you" I said then held the pen. I was about to write on it but I suddenky hesitated. Personally, I don't know why I hesitated but it's not like I can just do nothing here aside from overthinking things. There, again i started writing."Good day viscount, this is the crown princess and I'd like to summon Angelina to the palace" I'd
