Lotte started working in the palace, two weeks.

Little by little, but I'm also getting used to life.

Sometimes they are assigned to pride unchanged, but still no harm other than being yelled at if they move as Marie advised. Occasionally, her heart fluttered if Pride looked at the other samurai or behaved impatiently, but she was originally a carefree woman, and without a big mistake she would not have irritated Pride any further.

That's how she thinks. Objectively a girl named Pride Royal Ivy.

She said she was too alone.

It's no strange age to be surrounded by near-old children and neighborhood adults if you're a civilian, and she has nothing. There are samurai and squire who listen, but they just command. As far as the guards are concerned, the princess, her soul, listens almost to the permission of the king's mate. She has no brothers or sisters. She spends too much time alone in this big palace.

There are no nannies, no mothers, only fathers come to see each other frequently. Never so often as to come home, etc. In the meantime, anyone's eyes around them are too cold because of their behavior. Furthermore, the Royal Marquis nobility does not have the opportunity to meet people close to their age until the debut of the social sphere without the involvement of their parents among their friends.

Naturally, there is no room for sympathy because it is the result of her impatient behavior. But it was just that a princess named Pride, who was "alone" and "in large numbers" angry by herself, shouting by herself, scattering by herself, laughing at someone by herself and behaving in an exhaustive manner by herself, also looked like a cow hitting a baby's cripple or a red cloth to Lotte, who I saw in a step-by-step position. Except in the surroundings, because there is no one to follow her, but to be in tune.

If she decides everything by herself and is busy being a chunk of her emotions by herself, if she continues to be crowned, I wonder if she would also want to do all the politics by herself. And Lotte thought that I wouldn't be the only one who'd ever thought about it that way.

Only my parents and uncle can defy her. No one else can change her, the First Princess.

Where's Father?

Well, I should have.

Beginning with the sudden fall of the First Princess.

It is transported to bed and noises as if the princess cut the weir after showing her ability to predict to the king's mate.

The fallen princess with her head was calmed down as if she were someone else when she woke up. Even if his beloved father leaves the room, he will not be scattered among the samurai. On the contrary, everyone doubted their ears when they even apologized to Lotte for quickly rebuilding the kicked down table. Because she has never been anything other than an apology or dislike before.

And now, the girlfriend was making more confusion about her surroundings with unprecedented noise.

"If His Royal Highness the King, His Majesty the Queen sent me to report earlier..."

"Stop now and don't put him in the carriage."

A daughter who suddenly tells her father to pull back.

Until now, she was the one who seemed to regret every time the King and his wife left, or to expose her frustration after she left, but never tried to hold them back until she used them.

annoyance to the father, stronger than the father persisted and didn't want him to hate him. I have a busy mother, because the only thing left of her was her father and uncle. And only Albert can make me sweet.

Samurai and guards worry about orders different from previous death sentences and punishments and what to do to her desperate shape. Besides, the princess who just awakened herself to her predictive abilities, which are a testament to the king. There were guards and samurai who jumped out of the room wondering if we should follow the king's brother-in-law.

Instead of her room, the whole palace began to turn right and left about one pride, and as she scratched and made a scene, she rode herself out of the window, fine.

Everyone looked back at the way she screamed "Father," wondering if the King and his wife were really in a position to park the carriage, as she said. Albert's destination, which was originally planned for the royal family, was the Royal Palace, not the carriage. We're just talking about using a corridor, not a carriage, to move to the Palace of Pride and its adjacent buildings.

If there is truly a king's wife ahead of her looking down, not a lie. Some turned a blind eye to the sudden. And finally, the princess hangs her legs out on the window frame. Both the noticed samurai and guards breathe in her position, which could fall even if the wind just blows. If he resists just trying to grab his arm cheaply, he could, on the contrary, drop the First Princess out the window. I was even hesitant to reach out if I thought about it that way. I don't know what makes her fall in the clap or anything. I wish I was just riding myself out, but my two legs are both getting on the window frame. It would be upside down if they just unbalanced the arm they grabbed. And above all, if we pull her off here.

"Princess, please don't. Princess."

"Don't come! If I stop it, I'll stop."

"I won't allow it."

The words were, naturally, released from the mouth of the First Princess.

The samurai, Lotte, who accidentally raised her voice from a situation so dangerous, instantly turns her head white on that word from Pride. Reverse the back, trembling with his mouth open.

Then I realize: why didn't anyone scream one thing but myself? Despite the fact that the First Princess jumps out the window, everyone said nothing instead of moving to retain her. Why not?

"It's never going to impress His Highness."

He looks around and looks worried at himself, who is now one of the servants more than the First Princess's pride with a blue face. And the last thing in it is Marie's appearance in my eyes.

Oh, well. If he was convinced, his knee would lose its strength and Lotte collapsed on the spot. I understand that I am the only one who has "prioritized" pride now.

Everyone's eyes knew what to do right. Even if she is not the first princess, she is determined to stop if a child rides out into a large window. But they knew more than Lotte, who had more experience than Lotte, that if they stopped, punishment from her would always await them than this situation was now being created at her will.

Even the guards, if she makes a fuss about "arm pain" and "brutality" later, even if it is them, will follow their position. It is the position of the servants to formally be punished for any reason if they commit injuries or violence against the royal family.

And no one here wanted to help my princess even in exchange for herself.

Either way, if the princess falls, we will be held accountable.

But whoever moves to help her is surely driven away. Then there was no one there who would bother to stop for the princess. If they had nothing to do with it, there were so many who thought it would be better if they fell just like this.

Lotte now understands that too. I tremble all the way to my fingertips with a sudden collapse, "I've done it," and I just think about it.

I heard Pride screaming at his father again through the window, but it barely reached Lotte's head. I have already been completely remembered by the princess to exist. I could easily imagine how I would be treated after this. At least I can't stay in the castle by the time she's crowned anymore. The moment I found out so, the last spider thread I had ever turned forward on myself was broken and I couldn't move.

Just a warning yet. "When I stopped," they just made a condition. Tremble, and the throat dries up. Lotte thinks with a hint of hope at the tip of his fingernails. At least until she gets off the window frame herself safely here. If no one stops her, there's still hope, maybe.

─ ─ Don't be ridiculous.

One guard suddenly walks over to her with a big crotch as everyone stands around not to inspire pride standing in the window frame.

No one could speak to him without hesitation, who approached him quickly with his Zunzun, only to peel his eyes. Only one of those guards thought of something else in the crossing of many thoughts about what would happen, what would happen, and Lotte would be punished.

- Come on.

Young guard Jack roars so only at the bottom of his chest.

Like Lotte, a young man, he was the only guard on this occasion to have volunteered to be assigned to this palace himself, as he had done to see and escort around the castle.

Just as samurai have relationships between samurai, it was common for guards to share rumors and information with each other.

And information about the closest opposite sex, the samurai, also flows among the guards. Even though they work differently, they work in the same place. It is also normal for some of the chatter between the samurai to take place without concern in front of the guards who are normally guarding them. It is harder to rumor without being heard by the guards deployed all over the castle.

'Me, I have nowhere to go. My mother died right after giving birth to my last sister, and my father raised me and my sisters with one male hand.'

And I didn't care otherwise if the guards were beside me if the samurai asked me in a story that had no Lotte or other love.

Just like I told Marie, I did about a year ago. She told her coworkers' maids about the topic she was used to talking about while doing her laundry. She was also accustomed to speaking brightly so that her surroundings were not too dark, and she said so about herself as if it were no big deal.

And I don't know Lotte, who was just starting to work as a samurai at the time. Jack happened to be among the guards assigned to guard there. The oligarchy, he was not interested in the samurai's conversation either, but still had their conversation straight in his ear just nestled.

"The father was also in the other world a year ago. I got sick, but I couldn't work, and you didn't even tell me about my oldest daughter. It would have been better if you'd bought medicine than our meals."

She's the one who can't help it, hey, but she laughs brightly like I said, but it looked sad the other way that its side wasn't shaded from Jack's eyes.

How can you not hesitate to talk about such a thing here? Jack even thought for a moment that he was inviting sympathy.

And it's not just what I heard then.

At one time it was also a rumor among the guards. I was wondering how a young maid of honor, who neither comes in new nor goes, could work in a castle even though she still has no experience as a servant.

"My father and mother were running off, so both relatives hated me. No one near relatives could help....... so I really, really appreciate you introducing me to this job '

Jack knows.

"Mistress," "Child of the side room," "Hidden child," "Daughter of the upper management," "Fallen aristocrat"... that she was not one of those rumored at the time.

'You can't pick me up. Instead, I introduced you to this one and went down. Before my father met my mother, he seemed to be your friend in a time when he worked as a servant in a certain mansion.... I don't know who he was after all, because I do this through messenger communication, not in person.'

Aside from who I am, I've never even met him.

I only came to rely on a letter that had long been entrusted to my father asking me to rely on this man if anything happened to me, but my friend no longer lived there. I wanted help, but the man in the mansion was a stranger. She couldn't help me.

Lotte's background was turbulent in everyone's ears when her friend told her about the use of the mansion and told her that she had found herself over the course of a few days. Everyone who hears that if they were taken at least there, they could have become a house courtier with enough power to mediate a job to the castle.

But Lotte said that the letter with my father in exchange for introducing me here was also confiscated by that messenger. And myself, I can't even remember the name of the place on that mansion anymore. If you listen to her, everyone takes it for granted that you can't afford to remember that. Because...

"Sisters, are you? … that is…, …………… '

For the first time if the samurai asked her sister, the first told of her existence, she spoke.

Let's do our best for your sisters, what are your sisters doing now, and your sister couldn't even take it? Only when asked, the only wound she hasn't healed yet, she just shrugs a little. But still, at the end of the day, as if it were still nothing, she was careful with the words and revealed them lightly.

"All three of them are now (...) in the (...) former (...) of their father (...) and mother (...). I left my house to look for you, and the robbery took all my possessions that day.

─ Don't let a child blessed with everything torment her any more.

Jack knows.

Tell her there's really no place to go. That the information of that person on whom you depend, and the evidence of that person's relationship with his father, is taken away, that he has lost his house, his sisters, his father and his mother, and that he is still trying to live by laughing and looking forward in this way.

'I'm sorry, not a very pleasant story. But so the fact that I have been good offices here is true. I think it would be really rude for everyone who has gained experience and gained this job by breaking through difficulties. But this is what I'm talking about, so it would be helpful if you took a look at it. "

Nice to meet you. And at the end of the day, there was no one to laugh at her deeply bowing her head.

I'm sorry for the very fact that I get the honor of working in a castle for whatever reason, which is why she doesn't hide it. After confessing all my position and history, I still don't think I have a choice if I can blame you for the fact of your good offices. I just didn't want to live the way I was ashamed of hiding myself.

That's why Jack hoped that she could have a whispering, normal life, just staring at it in a faraway roll.

Whenever she told the story to the other samurai, she wished shadowfully and hoped that she would not be treated like a swelling, and that it would be accepted.

Bearing a tumultuous life, I still laughed heartily, took the past, and even loved her trying to look forward.

I wanted to hear it in person, but he's a lousy mouth and he can't do it. All I could do was look for her from a distance and watch and pray. And because he wanted to do just that, he volunteered for the First Princess's security, which everyone abhorred the day he heard the rumors that Lotte had decided to change his assignment.

Even after his assignment, he had spent the last two weeks restless days just watching her without talking to him from himself.

And now, one of my poor princesses is finally trying to take her place from her again.

─ Don't let the sweetness get you on track. in minutes that are far more blessed than she is.

The First Princess, who was not dealt with by her mother and whose father would not be around forever, was just foolish in Jack's eyes to penetrate my endeavors.

Because the woman I kept watching, I would never see that person for the rest of my life.

That's why now I move my legs just to protect Lotte.

Some sober head decides to pull it off the window.

I don't care what happens to the First Princess. It doesn't matter if you fall or get hurt.

However, if here I can force myself to peel off the princess and even remember her face, I'm sure the spear will go to me. I wish I was more impressed than anyone else. If you offend yourself so much that it doesn't matter about Lotte or anything else, Pride is bound to forget about the maid to the point where she spoke up.

They are brutally forced to pull off, capture them tightly with their arms, and never let go of them if they get rammed. Her anger never made up her mind until her consciousness was all focused on one person.

And he was right, stretching his arms and forcing his pride to pull off the window and catch him. Now if I could be punished, Lotte could stay in the castle, just for the record.

I thought if I caught him, I'd be sure to ramble, yell, jitter his hands and feet. That princess...

... did nothing.

…… …⁈

Instead of rumbling, Jack doubted his eyes on her with Pocan and her mouth open without a single sound.

I didn't look back at myself, I was more surprised by her staring out the window just pulled away. I even remember being confused by the girl exhaling relieved instead of angry. Loosen naturally to the girl opponent without the arms or poisonous shards she was trying to hold back, and now it's time to open her mouth for her consciousness to turn to herself again.

"Are you hurt," he said.

Instead of caring about her, it was just the first word he hung in pride to turn his target from lotte to himself.

... then Jack completely lost the spear of anger itself to the pride of crying out sorry instead of being angry this time.

……

"Um.... well, Mr. Jack......

Some late night.

Good night, and after closing the door, Lotte calls for his back to leave straight in front of the room.

Stopped perfectly on her words, Jack couldn't even turn around and remained in that position at first. I think only in his head that this might be the first time he's been called by her by name, and his chest lights slightly on what he's been called by name.

Lotte also remembered his name in Jack with remnants that Pride had begun to call "Jack" after asking him his name.

To not look back, Lotte, apologizing for stopping and apologizing, continued her words as she lowered her head deeply toward her back not looking at herself.

"The other day,... I'm sorry I did something extra.

……

Jack turns his eyes round to an apology he doesn't remember and finally looks back.

Then for the first time I realized Lotte was bowing her head to herself. I panic and turn around all over my body, swimming my eyes at what other guards are seeing where I'm letting the samurai bow her head. Not even knowing the upset of that Jack, Lotte slowly moved her mouth to the silent Lord.

"At that time, the reason I did something extra to Master Pride riding himself out the window was to annoy Mr. Jack.

With that said, Lotte quietly recalls the incident six months ago.

Pride rode himself out the window to save his father, Albert. I bought pride's wrath because I raised my voice without thinking about it. No one can stop pride unnecessarily because of that and I think there would have been some of the worst things that could have happened if Jack hadn't pulled his pride off over there.

If I had not been more hastily and accurately called out to Pride, I would have been able to have her get out of the window without buying her anger. "Now I think.... now, if it's pride.

Sixteen days after that. Delivering pride to the bedroom where they fell asleep in the style room where they became brother-in-law, they just got time to do it and talk to each other at this time.

"I'm sorry I'm half a month late to apologize.

Lotte had just been attacked by unspeakable terror since Pride yelled at her then.

I was convinced that the only connected lifeline would be cut off this time, losing all the places I could count on and all the people I could count on.

Even when Jack stripped away his pride, he thought "stop" for fear that if he stopped his pride would finalize his punishment for him, and even if his pride helped, he was full of thinking about his desperate destination.

Depending on how you perceive it, it's also seen as an act where you stopped mercilessly without thinking about Lotte taking revenge from Pride, but after you calm down, no doubt that was Jack doing the right thing as a guard, Lotte thinks. Ning Lo, because of what he said extraneously, even led to the situation where he had to get out to Jack, the guard in charge of security. Lotte was later filled with apologies if he thought that if he did poorly, he could have been punished by Pride as he was. But from Jack.

"No...! I am…….

It's only a misunderstanding.

At that time, I stretched my arms out to pride only to replace Lotte, not for duty, nor for the king's wife, nor for the princess.

But there's no way he can say there, originally oligarchy. No way. "I was just trying to take your place," etc.

"I've been watching you", "I've been staring at you ever since the day I heard about you", "I wanted to protect you", "I couldn't find a word even if I wanted to talk to you", "You've been worried and chased me all the way to Wangju" … etc.

There's no way he can say a dialogue with such floating teeth. Even a woman who has been staring at herself for a long time is only a guard that Lotte has known in the last few days.

On the way down he shut his mouth and returned it in silence, all he could do since Lotte raised his face was shake his neck left and right.

I never dreamed of myself being misled like that by Lotte. Instead, there was even a time when my chest ached thinking later that I had moved without worrying about Lotte's progression or retreat and hated her.

Kyoton and Lotte tilt their heads at him as he shows in his neck movements that there is no need to apologize. The young man, who didn't even look angry at himself, on the contrary, had a loose mouth without even realizing himself.

I was surprised that Lotte had misunderstood me and made me apologize, but Jack was amazingly happy himself that she hadn't looked at herself badly like this now.

She narrowed her thin shoulders further as she blinked repeatedly so that she could not tell by her pussy and silent Jack. I don't know how to return it to Jack, who even looks happy. But even as I forced myself to finish the conversation, Lotte kept waiting even as it was, not trying to encourage me to continue. For minutes, the oligarchy speaks to me.

More than fifteen minutes of silent fighting ensued, and it was Jack who lost.

After leaking a sound with a lowered voice, he slowly opens his mouth to her as he chooses words to the guard's gaze from around him.

"........................... then. Only (...) I (...) I respect you with all my heart for worrying about Her Highness the First Princess of Pride.

The best word I could say right now was that.

I can take it that I just couldn't anticipate the reversal scale of my pride because of my short experience, but I can also say that Lotte was worried enough to raise my voice to my pride. It's still too short a period of time to have feelings, and no good memories with Pride. Still, Jack thinks she's still the prettier woman in her heart than anyone else, who raised her voice out of concern for pride from the heart.

Lotte, who opens her eyes to unexpected praise, did not move her expression for a while. But after I finish saying it, I open my mouth softly to the young man who smiles gently at me, so that Lotte also feels back.

"... my sister at the top, she was very messed up. Even if my father yells, he has no choice but to chase the bird and try to climb the roof.

Phew, so I said and tied my hands around my back and laughed ridiculously. She was still a shameless usual grin.

Jack's heartbeat grew sharply to Lotte, who told me something personal for the first time to myself.

Now it's the first princess who's grown up like people have changed, but he thinks it's probably because Lotte, who's nothing else, has broken it down as if nothing happened right from there.

"… more, can I talk to you?... The stars are beautiful tonight.

Such a girlfriend before, nature and now words.

Blood flows faster to follow later on to inviting complaints that I can't even believe. When I said it, a small nod was returned by Lotte after more than ten repetitions in my head.

"... don't you mind if it's not a very pleasant story?

Absolutely.

At the end of the day, each of them was supposed to return to the room, moving their feet in a completely different direction to the garden.

Five years later.

Never thought we'd face each other every day as the First Princess's dedicated samurai and Kingsguard.

... that it is more than that, too, yet.
