The Escape of Layla

Episode 17 (Jessica Perspective)

Then shortly, as was once more whispered, the young lady will be formally indulged in the fiancée of the first prince of the kingdom of Altair. The First Prince was a very brilliant man, calmly settled, in addition to brilliant eyebrows and precisely the admiration of the ladies. I also heard stories about not being influenced by my identity and appearance, and always judging things fairly, and I was heart-pounding.

Finally, Lady Layla may have shown up better to heal her solitude. Besides, it was the prince of the kingdom, and I was floating like a gaga.

Unfortunately, however, Her Royal Highness did not show any special interest in Lady Leila, only that she would have a minimal relationship as her fiancée. Still, Leila, I think my senses were pretty paralyzed, too, because I just didn't disdain the lady unreasonably.

But the attitude the lady turned to Her Highness was quite adorable. I have read the letter from His Highness over and over again, which only reaches me about once a month, or I have looked forward to the gift from His Highness.

From that royal attitude, it is also suspicious whether the letter is autographed or not. I don't even think Your Highness has chosen the gift for himself. Maybe Lady Layla knew that, too. I knew it, and I was happy.

From the lady's point of view, Her Royal Highness's presence would have been fresh, not too harsh on you and not treated irrationally. Despite Her Royal Highness's attitude, which was too modest as a fiancée, Lady Leila seemed to have been favored little by little.

From what I can tell, Leila, I felt like there were as many stars in the hall that would please your daughter more than a cold fiancée or something, but I can't believe it. Besides, if Lady Layla seems happy, she's never been over it.

Then some time later, the lady's reputation for making her social debut was already a storm of admiration. I don't know the details because I'm a maid, but in part they even repute me as a "goddess". Lady Leila was quite popular with the ladies, and there were many noble ladies you might call your friends. I was also reassured that I had finally found a place for the lady.

On the other hand, the gaze of the lords of the social world seemed to be gathered more by Lady Rose, who debuted the social world a year later than Lady Leila.

Lady Rose, who closely resembled her wife, who was hailed as the Hua of the social world, was already on the lookout and attracted one lord after another. That's funny enough already.

But Lady Rose seems to be reluctantly approaching her fiancée's hall, and her reputation from the ladies was scattered. Between the ladies and gentlemen, it seems perfectly classic to talk about Miss Rose with the phrase "even though she's that Laila's sister".

There were rumors that Lady Rose was alone and in close contact with her fiancée, or that every time you saw her, Lady Rose's opponent had changed, or that she was suspicious of her ears, but what does her husband and wife think? No, I just heard rumors like that in the first place, though I may just be outraged that it's just a rumor that disparages Miss Rose.

Among them, however, the wise lords were under the impression that they praised Lady Leila. However, it is a pity that no one has approached the fiancée of Prince Wang of his country without darkness just because she is intelligent, and that Lady Leila ends up time after time thinking that she is something that is not attractive to you. Even though Lady Leila, who grew up, says she has a clean, pathetic beauty, shamelessly in the name of "Goddess".

I secretly hoped that His Highness would at least say a word to Lady Layla that she was beautiful. After all, it never happened once.

One early summer day when Lady Layla turned 16, rarely did Her Royal Highness invite Lady Layla to go out to the Botanical Garden for both of you. In addition to the invitation from Her Highness, which was almost the first time, Lady Leila was greatly delighted to be able to go to the Botanical Gardens, where she had long shown interest. It's been a long time, Leila, and I think I've seen Lady Vegan smile, which makes me kind of happy, too.

Lady Leila, who summoned a clear cream-colored dress and attached a beautiful hair decoration scattered with gems, given to her by Her Royal Highness on her 15th birthday, was already poor and adorable. If you look at this, your Highness will also praise Lady Leila a little, so much so that you have expectations.

"Beautiful, sister."

When Lady Leila made up her schedule, Lady Rose rarely wanted to drop you off. As I grew older, it was only natural in a way that Lady Leila began to avoid Lady Rose as much as possible, and unless I had extra errands these days, the two of you would never face each other. Yet sometimes it's unusual, and I gently distance myself from you two.

"Thank you, Rose"

"I'm glad it's clear. Because you'll also see the green in the botanical gardens."

"Hehe, yeah"

Lady Leila had an unusual grin. I don't know which words will damage Miss Rose's mood, so there's no point in being cautious.

"... please, take care and go"

It was somewhat of an inclusive way of putting it, but Lady Rose is lovingly grinned. Lady Layla also slightly loosened her cheeks to meet that grin.

"Yeah, thanks for taking the time, Rose"

Her Royal Highness came to pick up Lady Layla at the right time. Leila, you seem like a disciplined lady, even though she doesn't behave like one, and I've never been late for a promise to Lady Leila.

"Okay, I'll be there."

"Take care and go, Lady Leila"

I will escort Lady Layla to the front of the mansion. The lady to be escorted by His Highness blushed her cheeks just a little, naturally loosening my cheeks too to the appearance of a happy lady.

The clear blue sky is spreading today, and it's going to be a good memory.

The wedding of the lady and Her Royal Highness is in three years' time, and I would ask you to accumulate even one good memory by then.

But such a swallowing prayer is also interrupted by the sound of a horse that sounded somewhat nearby.

When I turned my eyes, the hoof of a horse with his forefoot up was just about to be shaken down by Lady Leila. A bright red splashes in the light of a miserable early summer day. As it was, Lady Leila fell to the ground.

Uh, what the hell is that?

The figure of the one who changes his complexion and manages to turn his horse away, and the voice of His Highness shouting Lady Leila's name. The appearance of Lady Leila losing her blood in the arms of her disturbed highness, within a glimpse. I didn't think all of those things were real and I couldn't move off the spot for a while.

"Leila, Leila!!

Her Royal Highness, who was supposed to be a pale fiancée who would only face each other about once a month, continued to scream Lady Layla's name by changing her blood phase. The lady sleeps quietly like a doll in Her Highness's arms.

A hug with His Highness, which the lady admired so much, must not have wanted to come true in this way.

"... lady?

Soon I was closing in on the lady. Even though I see my pale skin turning bright and pale, it naturally brings out tears.

Come on, we need to get a doctor.

I was selflessly obsessed and rushed to the doctor's mansion for the Duke's house. Someone may have already gone, but that's okay. Quickly, or it will be too late. Driven by a sense of impatience, I kept running at my full strength, not tired of hurting my legs and lungs.

As a result, Lady Layla took her life. Though the marks of sutures floating on her white forehead are painful, the lady does breathe.

But God seems to be a cruel man, and he's not going to let us worship the eyes of this beautiful lady again.

The doctor said Lady Leila might never wake up again.

Are you allowed to do such a terrible thing? Why, why Lady Leila?

The lady who keeps sleeping without a voice really looks like a goddess. The more you look away, the more you're going to disappear.

Both the boulder husband and wife seemed to have enjoyed this, and the two of you went off looking at it. My husband kept searching for every cure, and my wife started spending most of the day beside Lady Leila.

Even a piece of that affection, Leila, I wish I had shown it to you when your daughter was fine.

I knew I couldn't tell you, but I thought so with some irony.

It was about a month after that that the engagement of His Highness and Lady Layla was put back on blank paper. Even though I know it's tough to keep a warrant lady who doesn't know when to wake up, as fiancée of the heir to the throne forever, I feel sad and unhappy when I think back to the look of the lady who looks happy to see her once a month letter from Her Highness.

Lady Rose was chosen for Her Highness's new fiancée. I'm not sure it's difficult. Maybe there's a complicated situation where it's a political thought or a family matter.

But more importantly, she's Miss Rose.

When I heard that Lady Rose had entrenched herself in Her Royal Highness's new fiancée, it was something I too regretted and teared up. Lady Rose scratches everything Lady Layla wanted. Even with such irrationality, does Lady Leila have to accept it?

I've been in the worst mood for a while, but I can't help but a single maid mourning. Rose, even if you think about Miss Laila, Miss Laila will just be pitiful. I changed my mood and decided to serve the Duke's house thinking only of Lady Leila.

Then, we started taking care of things like massaging your daughter to improve blood circulation and moving her hands and feet to prevent joint contractions, believing that Laila would wake up one day. Leila, when your daughter wakes up, do so so so that you can walk on your own feet as soon as possible.

Lady Rose looked at us like she saw something terribly pitiful. I also know they were whining about "ridiculous".

How can you hate your real sister so much?

If there was no identity system in this country, I would have grabbed the chest barn and asked. Lady Rose had everything, but I didn't know what the hell Lady Layla was unhappy with.

But Lady Rose, the boulder, also stopped saying anything when she saw that one day her wife would become mixed up with us to massage Lady Layla.

Ma'am, Laila, is the one who demanded that Lady Leila be "always like a duke's warrant" more than anyone else. Of course, you were never the kind of person to do the servant's imitation, etc. But she couldn't help but do something in front of the sleeping Lady Leila.

For the first time at this time, I felt like I saw your wife beside you as Lady Leila's mother, not as the Duchess.

Leila, I think your wife and husband have gotten a lot rounded up in character since your daughter fell asleep. If Lady Layla wakes up now, I'm sure you'll both be delighted with tears. That way, Lady Layla can feel the love between you for the first time.

I'm just looking forward to that. How delightful the lady will be the moment she touches your parents' love. For the first time, maybe you can spoil yourself. Imagining the scene again and again, I loosened my cheeks all the time.

With such a daily repetition, the shock runs to the Duke of Ashbury's house a year and a half after Lady Layla stays awake.

Lady Rose is pregnant. Your son with His Royal Highness the King.

This may be the first time Lady Layla has prayed not to wake up.

Lady Leila still sleeps without even knowing that her engagement to Her Highness was dissolved in the first place. In addition, Rose, if I find out that your Highness has a son in your belly, what the hell will happen? Leila, when I think of the shock and sadness of the lady, I think I'm going to rip her right up to this chest.

But still, something called God is cruel, and Lady Leila was woken up under such worst circumstances.

Lady Layla's flax-colored eyes, which I haven't seen in about two years, were already beautiful. Again, how glad I was to see my figure in the lady's eyes. Although the situation sucks, I already thanked God that I could hear the lady's voice again.

But the reality of waiting for Lady Layla wasn't too sweet.

Lady Rose visited with Her Royal Highness Prince Wang in some cases and behaved as if to show her happiness. Without blaming it again, His Royal Highness will soon leave, caring only for the body of Lady Rose.

To make matters worse, both his wife and husband, who were so worried about Lady Leila, did not know how to treat Lady Leila under this circumstance, and asked her to care for Miss Rose, who was weighty. No, even though that was a lot better than before the lady was in an accident, it sucked not so much as an attitude towards the lady who was informed at the same time of the break-up of her engagement and Miss Rose's pregnancy.

It sucks, really. I get revulsion.

Leila, the people around the lady are too neglected by Lady Leila's emotions. Let's not forget that Lady Leila, who is the perfect courtier to be treated like a goddess, also has a proper heart.

Stay here, Lady Layla, one day your heart will be broken. I don't know how much better the dream world was.

That's why when Lady Layla disappeared, before worrying, she had me thinking this was a good idea.

The truth is, I had a hunch. I've been reading back the kingdom and the Luwayne clan's gaga that you read so much about, and I've been thinking about it thinly since you were sneaking out your own little travel bag as much as possible. Perhaps the lady intends to be admitted to a Leweyne monastery, he said.

I thought I'd stop you, but what would it be like to hold your daughter back here? Even though it is obvious that a lady cannot be happy at the Duke's house. Then at the very least, even if it was a qualitative life, wouldn't it be happier for the lady to have a relaxing life in a monastery?

Good. I still have the strength to just let the lady escape.

It's kind of ironic, but that's what I really thought. Because if all those people around me had hurt me and scorned me, it wouldn't have been weird to be turning into a handy doll in the Duke's house with apathy.

Although I still don't know where the lady who was supposed to have been admitted to the convent is, somehow, the lady felt like she was living properly and happily somewhere. I'm sure they took a carriage or even went to a distant convent.

Meanwhile, the Duke's family was making a leap to get Lady Layla back. Leila, I can't even tell your husband and wife that you don't care how much you hurt your daughter and that you blindly believe it's Leila's happiness to have her on hand. Naturally, they also filed a search application, and the Knights are still patrolling.

But there were other things that bothered me. This is what I've heard from a knight who works for the royal castle who is close to me, but apparently the royal family is also secretly searching for Lady Leila. It is also said that His Royal Highness Prince Wang's direct unit is hitting the search.

I still have my doubts about this. Even though she was a former Crown Princess, would there be any reason for the royal family to look for a lady immediately? There may be circumstances that I don't understand without learning, but I can't help it.

I have a bad feeling about this. I was wondering if the royal family bothered to search for Lady Layla because of some dark thoughts. I don't know how I've ever seen you scorn a scattered Lady Layla and try to catch her when she escapes.

Lady Leila, please, please, run away.

I was alone in the Church of Le Wayne, offering prayers. The object of Luwayne faith is the Luwayne clan, not God, but God, magician or whatever, if you will protect the lady.

Never again, may the lady be hurt by the hands of the men of the kingdom who scorn her.

My wish, which I have spent more time with my lady than anyone else, was just one of them.
