Chapter 42 - First love

The Princess went to the bed and sat on the edge. She touched the frills of her dress, and Nozomu approached.

He kneeled on the floor in front of her and held her hands while asking. “What did she do to you? I never thought that Miss Koyaga was a bad person, and it puzzles me why she disappointed you so much that you get mad just by the mere mention of her name.”

The Princess hesitated, but she then sighed and explained. “We… When I entered the academy, she was the only one that never treated me as the next heir. She would scold me, slap me, and fight me with the intention of hurting me, unlike everyone else who was extra careful with me, or avoid talking to me. Koyaga was my only friend while she had a lot of friends. With time, things kind of happened. We… got involved. She was my first love. And you know what people say, we never forget our first love.”

“I wasn’t counting on that… But then something happened, right?”
