A few days later, Larisa was summoned by the princess once again. Fortunately, it was during a break. The princess was still surrounded by many girls.
Larisa inwardly thought it looked like a bouquet of flowers, with other flowers serving as decorations for the main flower. When the princess saw Larisa, she immediately spoke.
“You’re not wearing the bracelet?”
“I left it off during training in case it broke.”
“Oh my, you don’t need to be so careful. You can make another one, you know?”
“I want to cherish it.”
The princess seemed to like that answer and laughed.
“How is school life? Larisa, you’re not being isolated just because you’re the only female student, right?”
She was getting along reasonably well with her peers. If anything, it was a bit awkward with the seniors, who seemed to be overly considerate of Larisa.
“I’m doing well.”
“Well, it’s natural that no one would dare to treat you rudely with the reputation of the Rodante family.”
Larisa awkwardly smiled. The princess continued talking for a while. When they parted ways, she gave Larisa another gift.
“This is…”
“It’s nothing special. It’s a gift because I like you, Larisa.”
When Larisa opened the gift in her room, she found macarons. She sighed with relief.
“Ah…”
Juliana asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I was worried it might be another handmade gift.”
“Could it be from the princess again?”
“Yeah. Why does she keep calling me?”
“Maybe because you’re too cute?”
Larisa flinched. She thought she was used to such gossip, given the prevalence of nosy people around her, but it was still awkward when her friend brought it up.
“Why? It could be cute. Imagine how adorable a freshman like a baby chick would be from the perspective of a senior in the graduating class.”
“Uh, really?”
“Yeah. Anyway, next time, you should bring a gift too. Otherwise, there might be rumors circulating behind your back.”
Considering the cold stares Larisa had already experienced from the princess’s maids, she nodded in agreement.
“What would be good?”
“Well, if it’s the princess, she probably has everything she needs… Maybe a book? A handkerchief?”
Though Larisa wished they could set a specific time for their meetings, the princess would summon her unpredictably.
On her way to meet the princess, Larisa noticed a snowflake flower blooming in a crack in the pavement. She picked it and brought it with her.
“Greetings to Her Highness.”
Larisa respectfully bowed and then knelt on one knee as the approaching princess.
“I picked this on my way here, thinking of you, Your Highness.”
“Is this the first time you’ve seen this flower?”
“It’s a snowflake flower. It’s a wildflower that heralds the beginning of spring.”
Princess Elizabeth, who was looking at the unfamiliar small blossom, smiled faintly.
“…Is that so?”
Despite receiving various precious gifts, the princess had never encountered someone offering a wildflower before. When Elizabeth responded ambiguously, laughter was heard from the surroundings.
“Tsk.”
Elizabeth turned to the direction of the mocking laughter, then cleared her throat and spoke seriously.
“Moria, huh?” The girl whose name was called responded with a startled reply, “…Yes?” “Will you come out?” Moria’s complexion turned pale. “Your Highness, I…” “Do you want me to repeat myself?” “I apologize. I’ll withdraw now.” After Moria, mocked by Larisa, left, there was a moment of silence in the princess’s reception room. Elizabeth, staring at the small flower for a while, finally remembered, or at least it seemed so. She took Larisa’s hand and helped her up. “Oh, why are you still like this?” “…” “Sit down. I prepared tea that Larisa likes.”
After the conversation, Larisa returned to the dormitory with another snack gift. When Julia returned in the evening after leaving her share, she was surprised again.
“Princess again this time?”
“Yeah.”
“Thank you, I’ll enjoy it. But why do they keep calling you?”
“She wants to be friends…”
Larisa felt uncomfortable about the princess. Sensing this, Julia asked cautiously.
“Did you bring a gift?”
“…I hurriedly picked some flowers.”
“What? What kind of flowers?”
“Snowflake flowers.”
Julia, who knew various types of wildflowers thanks to Larisa, was surprised.
“Those are weeds!”
“Well, what can I do? I can’t pick flowers blooming in the garden. Besides, calling them weeds? Snowflake flowers are so beautiful.”
“Instead of doing that, it’s better not to do anything.”
Is that so? Larisa collapsed onto the desk with a sulky face.
“I don’t know. If it makes you uncomfortable, she probably won’t call you again.”
I wish she would stop calling altogether.
After spending the first week at the academy and returning to the mansion, Larisa snuggled into Grenavier’s arms and acted like a child.
“Mother, I missed you.”
“I missed you too.”
Larisa smiled proudly. Thinking that she was the one who had turned the initially cold Grenavier into the affectionate one, she felt good.
“How was school life?”
“It was fun. Oh, by the way, Princess wants to be friends with me.”
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
