She felt the curious eyes of the palace servants on her, but her mind was too blank to care about anyone’s reputation at that moment.
Unintentionally, the incident spread like wildfire throughout the palace the next day.
Reynard, ridiculed by his brothers as the prince who was abandoned by his fiancée, came to Laila in a fit of rage and hurled verbal abuse at her.
“Ha, you wretch! Do you strut around like this thinking your father is a real king? Without your family’s powers, you wouldn’t even dare dream of such acts, right?”
While saying this, Reynard grabbed Laila’s hair and tilted her head back, exposing her pale nape. It hurt as if her hair might be pulled out.
However, the moment she realized where his gaze fell, a shiver ran down her spine, and Laila pushed him away again.
“Stop it!”
But as Laila fell to the floor, Reynard, attempting to unbutton her dress, made her eyes widen in shock.
“Half-wit without any abilities. I need to teach you a lesson so you don’t get too cocky.”
In that moment, seeing his vulgar words and actions, Laila felt a familiar fear.
“Useless thing.”
As a child, whenever she did something wrong, Laila would be locked in a dark room, starving and shivering from the cold for days.
Remembering how cold and frightening her parents, or the cane they carried, felt when they entered the room.
The moment she saw Reynard standing before her, backlit, the pain and fear etched into her bones resurfaced, leaving Laila breathless and trembling in a corner of the room.
Oh, please.
Please…
“Don’t come any closer.”
She was terrified, horrified.
Reynard’s footsteps thudded on the floor, feeling like a giant’s steps to her. Her heart pounded wildly, and Laila curled up even more.
Tears welled in her eyes due to excessive fear.
Just as Reynard’s hand was about to touch her.
“Your Highness.”
Someone knocked on the guest room door where Laila was staying. Reynard reacted harshly.
“Who is it?”
“Sir, Lord Millei urgently seeks Your Highness, he has come here…”
“Millei?”
Reynard, seemingly annoyed, but realizing he couldn’t ignore the person, swept his hair back and opened the door himself.
A man standing with a servant-like figure at the door was visible.
In that moment, freed from the situation of being alone, Laila let out a sigh of relief and caught the eye of the man surveying the room.
This man, named Millei, had blue eyes like her.
“From the Empire…?”
She had heard that there were people from the Empire in the Kingdom of Filmer, and it seemed he was one of them.
Nevertheless, seeing someone she presumed was from the same region, Laila suddenly felt at ease.
But it was when their gazes collided.
‘…?’
Realizing his slow, examining gaze, Laila flinched.
His intense look made her wonder if he knew who she was.
Laila’s face wasn’t widely known publicly, but being with Reynard, he might have guessed.
Even considering that, Laila found his steady gaze strangely familiar and filled her face with questions.
But as soon as she showed a silent reaction, the man withdrew his gaze.
He then calmly spoke to Reynard.
“About the ship you’re planning to purchase… Ah, but is it alright for your fiancée to hear?”
He instantly recognized her as the fiancée.
Given the disarray of the room, he might have quickly grasped the situation. Yet, he didn’t hesitate to interrupt Reynard.
Seemingly considering the ship matter important, Reynard sighed deeply and turned to step outside for a conversation.
“Get out.”
Really…?
Could this terrible situation really just pass by like this?
The man who heard the answer slightly curved his lips in a neat smile, lightly expressing respect for Reynard’s decision.
“A wise choice, Your Highness, the 7th Prince.”
Click-clack, click-clack.
Three sets of footsteps recede from the room.
Only after the sound had faded several times could Laila finally catch her breath. She then clumsily retraced the recent events in her mind.
“…What was that?”
Was it an illusion to feel like Millei, that man, deliberately intervened at the right moment as if to help her?
Millei was just doing his own job, after all…
Although she understood this logically, Laila was captivated by one thought at this moment.
Could he actually have been a savior who came to rescue her?
