I sat on the bed and opened my eyes wide. I tried hard not to blink, and soon my eyes stung and tears gathered.
Looking in the mirror, my bloodshot eyes and wet skin resembled a crying person’s face.
Jenny nodded in agreement.
“Let’s try a bit more.”
While I was trying to squeeze out more tears,
Knock, knock.
Jenny rushed to the door.
“It’s Count Hubert.”
At Jenny’s urgent whisper, I quickly buried my face in my hands.
Hubert entered the room shortly after.
“Eigrain… Eig?”
Hubert, who had come in coldly, hesitated before slowly approaching me.
Peeking. I confirmed his shoe tips between my spread fingers.
“Why are you crying?”
I whimpered in response, filled with distress.
“Hubert… did you mean for me to go to the royal library?”
“…”
“I really didn’t know. You said to see the new book by Dupeong at the library. I thought you said that out of pity for me. Since you didn’t mention the prince, I thought it wasn’t about going into his room.”
“Ah, Eigrain.”
“I was so grateful for your consideration, I chose the gifts so earnestly, hoping the prince would think well of our family… And it wasn’t that?”
My voice was tinged with reproach.
“You meant for me to pretend to go to the library but actually enter the prince’s room?”
I lamented in disbelief.
Then my head tilted. Hubert, who had pulled me into his embrace, sighed.
I rolled my head against his chest.
‘Things have come to this. He’ll have to use me again, so he’ll try to win my heart.’
“That’s not it. I don’t know what everyone else is misunderstanding, but my words were just that.”
‘Bingo.’
“Really?”
I slightly raised my head to look at him. My tearful reflection was in Hubert’s green eyes.
His face changed complexly before he finally gave a tender smile.
“Of course. Don’t worry. Everyone will soon realize their misunderstanding.”
“I just need you to believe in me…”
I buried my face in the lapel of his shirt, clutching it tightly. Hubert gently stroked my head with a soft touch.
The corners of my mouth curled up in a smirk.
The next morning.
As I unraveled the bandage, the still-red flesh underneath was revealed. I carefully applied the white ointment the prince had given me the night before, which was already running out.
The cool ointment touched the wound, causing a prickly pain that made me wince involuntarily.
‘The wound from the blade isn’t healing easily.’
My face remained tensed as I wrapped the new bandage around.
“Miss?”
I quickly pulled down my raised garment as the canopy was drawn back.
I greeted Jenny before she could, as her eyes widened in surprise.
“Good morning, Jenny?”
“You’re already up.”
Jenny, with a slightly swollen face from what she ate last night, set down the wash basin in front of me.
“I’ve been waking up early these days. You’re diligent as always.”
After washing and drying my face, I glanced at her sideways.
“Why that expression?”
Jenny, who seemed restless as if she had something to say, jumped at my reaction.
I immediately sensed something was amiss.
‘There’s been some incident.’
Jenny hesitated before speaking with difficulty.
“Lady Emerun asked to send breakfast to your room.”
“That’s usual when I oversleep. What’s new?”
“It’s just, Lord Hubert and Lady Aris also…”
She frowned deeply, unable to continue her sentence.
I casually responded.
“Ah. So they’re having breakfast without me again?”
“That’s not it,” Jenny hastily denied, startled.
‘Sure it is.’
I shrugged nonchalantly, meticulously drying my face. Jenny lingered beside me, not leaving. Looking at her cautious expression, I asked.
“Are you okay?”
“Yes. Today should be easier for you, right? No need to fill the big dining table. The rest, just prepare as usual.”
Even as I spoke lightly, Jenny’s worried gaze didn’t waver. But honestly, I wasn’t bothered at all.
‘This isn’t the first time.’
Being excluded from meals was a petty spite Lady Emerun often used when she was displeased with me.
‘Probably influenced by Aris too.’
The thought of having a peaceful meal without those displeasing people actually made me quite content.

Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
