Larisa sent a helpless look to William.
“Sure! Instead, William, will you escort the princess to the palace?”
“What?”
“I’m a patient.”
William furrowed his brows slightly. The princess also spoke with a stubborn expression.
“I won’t go to the palace.”
“However, causing worry for the palace is not the duty of a humble servant. Although I’d like to escort you personally… ”
“But…”
“Shall I escort you personally?”
The princess stepped back quietly, pursing her lips. With a sulky face, she turned away, extended her hand to William.
“Then, I’ll leave it to you. Duke.”
William inwardly sighed. Larisa was silently signaling him, “Please.”
“I’ll accompany you, Your Highness.”
Instantly teleporting to the palace violates military law. William reluctantly took the princess, placing her on the carriage from the palace.
“It’s fortunate that Larisa woke up sooner than expected.”
The princess had tears in her eyes. Watching her start to cry again, William pondered.
“Should I offer a handkerchief or something?”
But it would be a hassle if she returned it. William decided to play dumb about it. However, as the princess casually rummaged through her bag, she spoke.
“Oh my, I don’t have a handkerchief. Can you lend me one?”
“Here you go.”
“I’ll wash it and return it to you.”
Wiping her tears with William’s handkerchief, the princess smiled gently. There was a crookedly embroidered monogram on the handkerchief.
“Who embroidered this?”
Usually, a handkerchief embroidered with a name is a gift exchanged between lovers. However, somehow, the princess felt a different vibe.
“Is it from Larisa?”
“…Well, yes.”
The princess, as if pretending not to notice William’s embarrassment, tucked the handkerchief into her handbag.
“Larisa is so cute. As an older brother, you must feel proud.”
“Yes.”
Glancing at him, she surprisingly received an immediate response. The princess continued to gaze at William’s expressionless face. She wanted to find any other meaning behind his words.
However, considering the age difference between them and the fact that Larisa was still a young girl, it didn’t seem likely that there were different emotions between the two.
Smiling, the princess said, “I wish I had a younger sibling like Larisa. She’s such a bright child, isn’t she?”
“Yes.”
“It seemed that even Duke Rodante cherished Larisa a lot. But why did such rumors circulate in society?”
The princess spoke as if it were regrettable.
“There were rumors about Larisa being treated like a cute plaything or a doll. It was really severe, you know?”
“…”
“What if, for Larisa’s sake, Duke Rodante starts participating in social activities? It might be a good idea to dispel any bad rumors before Larisa makes her debut in society after graduating from school.”
“That makes sense.”
“If you want, I can help.”
The princess smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear.
“Of course, for now, my graduation is a priority.”
“I appreciate your words, but Larisa probably doesn’t need my help that much.”
William stated firmly. The princess, sensing William’s intentions, pondered.
‘Confusing.’
From what she heard, it seemed like he cared for Larisa, but his strangely composed attitude even when looking at the injured Larisa perplexed her.
“Are you worried that Larisa might feel burdened?”
“No. Rather, Larisa is more sociable than I am.”
William said just that and remained silent. The princess, trying to grasp his thoughts, belatedly adjusted her expression and smiled.
“Larisa does seem to have good social skills. Being the only female student in the knight’s department, she seems to get along well with her classmates, and that’s quite enviable.”
“…”
“Doesn’t the Duke worry about Larisa attending the knight’s department, where there are only male students?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m just concerned about whether Larisa is adapting well in a place with only male students. That’s the worry.”
He was worried. However, Larisa seemed to be doing better than expected.
“It looks like she has even made friends already.”
William casually mentioned, staring out the carriage window. The princess, sensing William’s loss of interest, briefly considered other topics but ended up closing her mouth quietly.
‘A talkative woman must be tiring.’
The Emperor’s voice echoed in her mind, and the princess closed her eyes tightly. When she opened them again, a gentle smile lingered on her lips.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
