The next day, Elisha overslept.

‘What time is it? I heard that there was an occasion this morning… … .’

Elisha was shocked that she had slept till midday.

‘You’re actually everywhere.’

She known as Sophie.

“What about Lucerne?”

“He solely stated to prepare slowly and take your time if you get up. First, it’s best to eat lunch. The overall notified the attendants beforehand and left.”

“No want to concentrate to the meals. Get able to exit.”

“However the normal ordered me to not let the madam out of the room until you could have lunch,”

Sophie clarified hesitantly. She needed to obey Elisha’s phrases first. However everybody was afraid of Lucerne. Lastly, seeing Sophie’s teary face, she set free a low sigh and conceded.

“Then let’s proceed shortly.”

Sophie hurried. The servants shortly served a sizzling, steaming meal.

Though everybody rushed to prepare, it was already approaching 3 pm when she left.

‘The hunt will need to have already ended.’

Luckily, the Black Lion Knights didn’t go looking right now. By that point, Elisha’s urgency had additionally subsided. She was late anyway. She felt a slight sense of despondency.

She often didn’t go round alone. Whether or not exterior or inside, Lucerne’s individuals at all times saved a watch on Elisha.

It was 80% safety and 20% surveillance. Nevertheless, the imperial palace was an exception. Lucerne might solely deliver a restricted variety of subordinates into court docket.

“I’ll information you to the doorway to the looking grounds.”

Elisha gently refused the courtiers’ steerage.

“I know how to the place the place individuals are gathered so I don’t want instructions.”

“There are attendants at each forked street, so when you don’t know how, please ask and take further precautions. In the event you take the incorrect path, chances are you’ll fall into the forest, the place the hunt is.”

The courtiers obediently let her go. After that, Elisha might stroll alone for the primary time in a really very long time.

‘It’s been some time since I’ve been this free.’

Though it was restricted freedom, it was fairly candy.

“Ouch, ughh. Heeehuuue… … .” [sfx: sobbing]

Whereas strolling like that, Elisha heard a baby crying on a distant backyard path. It was a weird sound.

Sometimes, a baby would burst into tears loudly or howl looking for their dad and mom, however this was a heartbreaking cry struggling to be suppressed. Elisha’s steps halted.

Quickly after got here a violent voice of a boy.

“Yepnen! Your sister is out looking so there’s nobody to rescue you. A person such as you is a shame! You’ve made every part into a large number since you have been born. Who would ever assume a idiot such as you can be the following emperor? It is best to have by no means been born.”

Elisha reflexively hid behind a tree.

‘… … I’ve no luck right now.’

She frowned.

A baby was crying, overlaying his mouth together with his little fist. And in entrance of him stood a relatively good-looking however violent younger man, or relatively a youth or boy, threatening to tug out his sword on the baby. Nevertheless, he had not but drawn it out of his scabbard.

Slap. Clap.

The boy’s cheeks, heat and fluffy as freshly baked bread, have been being hit with the violent youth’s sheath. He even stabbed him menacingly within the shoulder. Nevertheless, the motion was clearly bullying he managed his power to the purpose the place the kid’s physique was not injured.

‘They have to be the brothers of the imperial household. Nevertheless, I heard that they don’t seem to be actual siblings… … .’

The youth performing like a gangster have to be Jewel.

Jewel was of the imperial bloodline and the adopted son of the royal household. He was the bereaved son of the previous emperor, and the deceased former emperor was the older brother of the present emperor, Murtura.

And a baby known as Yepnen. Elisha might additionally guess the identification of the crying baby—Illione’s youthful brother.

‘How dare you bully such a small baby. He seems to be about six years outdated at most.’

She was so upset that the cruelty she witnessed gave her goosebumps.

‘Rattling it.’

Elisha frowned.

In her earlier life, she had terrible recollections of Jewel. Jewel gave Elisha a giant disgrace and terribly harassed her. That’s why… … .

“Bought it? Shut up. In the event you inform me, I’ll break your different leg! Get out of my sight and run again to your nanny!”

Elisha stopped her ideas and made certain the tree hid her. Jewel was approaching her and handed by. The bushes in entrance of him rustled, and somebody got here out with a cute tilt of her head.

‘Carola, when did you arrive on the palace?’

There was a purpose why Jewel bullied Elisha in her earlier life. It was Carola.

Jewel had a really shut relationship with Carola in her earlier life. She giggled, extremely amused at any time when he insulted Elisha.

At a mischievous age and stuffed with bravado, Jewel simply succumbed to her instigation. He teased Elisha as if it have been an athletic sport. Amongst Carola and the boys she had an in depth relationship with, Jewel was the cruelest.

“Is the little prince gone?”

“Sure. However why are you avoiding him, Carola? That fool can’t inform anybody anyway. It’s nothing new.”

“You by no means know… … . Folks like to blame a powerless lady like Carola. What if somebody stated it was Carola who made Prince Yepnen cry?”

“No approach! Carola, I’ll be sure there isn’t any such misunderstanding,”

Jules promised confidently. Elisha remembered that Jewel was not but of age. Nevertheless, his dimension made him look older and extra mature; Carola checked out Jewel with a beguiling eye smile. Elisha’s abdomen was in knots.

Then the wind blew. Elisha’s costume swayed. She was nervous that her skirt would wave from behind the tree and tightly grabbed it. However as a substitute, her bracelet fluttered barely.

“Who’s there!”

With a ferocious glare, Jewel seemed round. Elisha held her breath.

“Aaaaaang!”

Then there was a loud cry of a kid. It was Prince Yepnen. Yepnen collapsed on the bottom and wailed profusely.

“You bastard! I informed you to go away!”

Jewel sighed. Carola pulled on Jewel’s collar with a coy motion.

“Let’s go, huh? You must present Carola a tour of the looking grounds.”

“All proper, however did Jacob actually say he would ship me one other courtesan?”

“You’re an excessive amount of. Carola is a girl. You need to not ask a girl about courtesans. However she’ll offer you a touch. The trace is ‘crimson’.”

She thought that the content material of the dialog was really disgusting.

Lastly, Jewel and Carola have been out of sight.

Elisha approached the crying Prince Yepnen. He had stopped crying and was sighing and fidgeting.

“Prince, are you okay?”

He checked out Elisha with uncharacteristically calm eyes that weren’t childlike. At that second, she realized that it was all a play. This younger prince intentionally helped her by crying loudly.
