“A gift has arrived for the princess, come and check it.”
A maid peeked through the door, her face flushed with excitement. A gift. Right. The princess was asleep, so she needed to check it herself. Tula gently stroked the princess’s forehead and got up from her seat.
It must be her overthinking. The princess is precocious, but she’s still just three years old. Perhaps it’s just the precociousness combined with the unique logic of children that makes it seem complicated. It’s nothing.
Maybe, in her feverish state, the princess was just speaking nonsense.
Tula tried to remain optimistic as she left the room.
“A gift? Who sent it? From the Empress?”
“No! It’s from the Grand Duke. I don’t know how the princess knows him, but it’s amazing!”
The Grand Duke? She had heard about the meeting yesterday, and now a gift already today. Truly, Tula’s little charge was loved by the world.
No wonder. The princess had hair like the moon, skin as white as snow, and eyes the color of the dark night.
As lovely as a porcelain doll played with by nobles, and so good and well-behaved that she never once fussed over food. It was understandable why all the high-ranking people who met her were charmed.
“Let’s see what it is.”
A gift suitable for a three-year-old… Maybe a doll? Or perhaps flowers?
With such a light-hearted mindset, Tula opened the door and immediately froze on the spot.
Flowers, flowers, flowers. Everywhere she looked, there were fresh flowers in abundance.
“What is this…”
The item itself was within expectation. Flowers are the most common gift one can think of. However, the issue was the quantity.
The entire reception room was filled with flowers.
And it didn’t stop there. Beyond the door opposite where Tula had entered, the continuation of flowers seemed endless at a glance. There were so many flowers that it appeared the door could not be closed. It was as if an entire garden had been uprooted and brought here.
“Isn’t it amazing?”
While Kali’s eyes sparkled with excitement, Tula was overwhelmed rather than happy. What was all this about?
“Is this the gift from the Grand Duke?”
“Yes! People from the Grand Duke brought it and left it here. It seems that being a Grand Duke of the Empire means making such grand gestures.”
Could this be simply passed off as generosity? Tula walked towards the door leading outside to check the extent of the flower procession. The door wasn’t even closed – was it due to the sheer volume of flowers? The fragrance was so intense it made her head dizzy.
Wouldn’t showing this to the Princess, who was not in good health, worsen her condition just from the scent?
With such thoughts, as Tula was walking towards the door leading out of the reception room, she encountered an unfamiliar figure.
“Ah, I apologize for visiting without prior notice. I heard Princess Blanche was unwell, so I came over.”
With hair like molten gold and eyes as clear and green as emeralds, the figure had a fairy-like slender figure and a dignified posture.
Though she had never seen this face before, Tula instantly realized who it was.
It was Her Majesty, the Empress of the Empire.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
