Eileen grinned. However, during the short time we spent together after the possession, I had learned that she was the type to not lift a finger for troublesome tasks. Surely, she would be more of a burden than help. Even if not, I had no intention of keeping her by my side.

“It’s not common for family members to be kept as maids.”

“Floria seemed to have a maid she liked, whom she asked the Second Prince for. Why don’t you ask your son-in-law for help? Floria did it, why can’t you?”

The Countess didn’t retreat until I agreed. I reluctantly nodded.

“All right. I’ll talk to His Highness.”

Since I was determined to stick around the palace one way or another, it might be safer to have her in front of me.

Since the day I encountered Floria, rumors had begun to circulate inside and outside the palace. There were rumors that Violet Gagha, who had lifted me up, was pressuring Floria, enjoying her position in the palace.

In fact, it was a somewhat accurate statement.

My already deteriorated reputation had nowhere else to go but down. In contrast, the nobles’ demands for me and Cahill to reconsider the marriage poured in. However, their fervent pleas were thrown into the fireplace without even breaking the seal.

Contrary to me, public sympathy for Floria intensified. The rumors that she faced harassment every day in front of the First Prince’s palace fueled criticism against Violet Gagha.

The clamor and complaints reached their peak on the day of my wedding with Cahill.

“Wow, sister, you look so beautiful!”

Eileen admired me as she looked in the mirror.

“Well, even in my eyes, I look pretty.”

I examined my appearance in the wedding dress reflected in the mirror from various angles. The twinkling diamond beads under the lights made my fair skin stand out even more.

Around my slender neck, lifted up, was a green sapphire necklace that Cahill had given me a few days ago, claiming it matched the color of my eyes.

“Seeing you in a wedding dress makes me want to get married too. Marrying a prince has been my dream since a long time ago.”

“You will meet a good person soon and get married. Don’t worry. I will handle it skillfully, won’t I?”

The Countess chimed in, echoing Eileen’s envious words. It was a conversation I had heard repeatedly over the past few days.

I couldn’t take my eyes off my reflection in the mirror.

“I’m really getting married.”

I was going to experience marriage, something I hadn’t done even in my past life, through possession. Although it was a strange contractual marriage, my heart felt oddly excited.
“Sister, you shouldn’t forget that I played a part in making you so beautiful today, right?”

Eileen’s eyes sparkled as if she had a debt to repay. However, I have no idea what contribution she’s talking about. Despite being full of mistakes and nonsense, I even received looks that seemed to say, “Do you really have to show that to Cahill?”

Without much enthusiasm to elaborate, I nodded when I felt tired. The palace guards, standing by the door, looked exhausted.

“His Highness Cahill has partaken in it.”
