When I heard something so unexpected, at first I didn't even know how to react to it. Noticing the utter misunderstanding on my face, the second princess decided to clarify her words.
— Lady de Walt, I am aware of your relationship with Kaena.
I choked on my breath.
"A relationship? What kind of relationship?!"
However, if you look at what is happening from the other side, then perhaps everything looked exactly like that. And how else to explain the fact that two unmarried people live together under the same roof, and are also constantly around? This big news has probably already spread throughout the empire. And it even came to the attention of the imperial family. And all of this, of course, was not at all what I wanted.
— Y-Your Highness, it's not like that! You've got it all wrong! — I didn't know why, but I tried to justify myself to her. It definitely made sense, though.
