The cheeky fellow. Really, why didn’t he believe it when she said it was true? Siod, who felt wronged, left behind, and Guinevere went down to the lobby. She spotted Larisa, who had already come down and was waiting.

“Larisa.”

“Mother!”

Larisa blushed and shouted with excitement.

“You look like a princess.”

“You look like an angel.”

Wearing an ivory dress, Larisa couldn’t think of any other words to describe her besides an angel. Guinevere smiled satisfactorily and praised the maid standing behind Larisa.

“You’re quite skilled.”

“Th-thank you, Madam.”

Was it Daisy, she had said? Thanks to Larisa, she had memorized the maid’s name. Guinevere told the butler.

“Assign this maid as Larisa’s personal maid.”

“What? However, Madam, unmarried young ladies do not usually have personal maids. A personal maid is a privilege of married women…”

“What’s the big deal? The Radonte family does it.”

“I understand.”

She was supporting a young child but attaching a personal maid to her. Siod sighed inwardly and admonished Guinevere.

“Only nobles have personal maids for unmarried women. What if the emperor takes offense?”

“Why would the emperor?”

“He might think that you’re following the imperial family.”

“Do you think nobles are so petty that they’ll scrutinize even the personal maids of commoners?”

“If you pick a fight, you can pick a fight with anything.”

“I am Guinevere Radonte.”

Siod shrugged and stepped back. Such unwavering confidence. That’s why I fell for her. With Guinevere, I felt that she could stand tall even in front of the Lord.

“Now, shall we go?”

Guinevere received Hedeel’s escort and got into the carriage. Siod escorted Larisa and placed her in the carriage. With a bitter face, he stepped back and said,

“Well, have a safe trip.”

“Teacher, I’ll be back!”

Siod waved his hand to Guinevere, who didn’t even look this way, and Larisa, who waved her hand like a puppy.

As he watched the departing carriage, Siod felt rather melancholic. He wanted to escort, not Hedeel. Or he could have at least escorted Larisa as a home tutor.

But Guinevere didn’t allow anything. She shamelessly took only information such as the hunting competition schedule and the etiquette she needed to observe and left him behind.

“How can I seduce her again…?”
Here’s the English translation of the provided Korean paragraph:

“No matter how much he thought, Siod sighed deeply, feeling that the sin he had committed was too great.

The Spring Hunt Festival was the biggest event for the nobles who were looking forward to warmer weather. It was also the only time when the royal hunting grounds were open.

Therefore, the Spring Hunt Festival was an event attended by almost all the nobles in Arendia. As Larisa looked at the long line of carriages on both sides, she asked,

“Why are those carriages not moving?”

The answer came from Hedeel.

“They are waiting for their turn.”

“What about us?”

“The Radonte family doesn’t need to wait. The six great families, including the royal family, can use the king’s road. If you follow this road, you’ll reach the palace, and further on, you’ll find the royal hunting grounds.”

As they arrived at the hunting grounds and got out of the carriage, people were bustling from the entrance. Guinevere, holding Larisa, followed Hedeel, who led the way.

Larisa, surprised by the scale of the event, whispered with hunched shoulders,

“Is it okay for me to be here?”

“Why wouldn’t it be?”

“But…”

Larisa clutched the uncomfortable hem of her dress and frowned.

“I’m just a girl from the back alleys.”

“You are Larisa Radonte.”

Guinevere corrected Larisa’s posture and said firmly. However, Larisa only buried her face in Guinevere’s shoulder and tried to suppress her discomfort.

She had never expected to come to a place like this without William. Where were they going that she thought it was a picnic, but it turned out to be such a noisy gathering? She resented the adults who hadn’t told her anything.

Even Guinevere, who had never experienced such an event before, was following Hedeel’s instructions one by one, acting politely, but Larisa didn’t know.

Not long after entering the venue, familiar faces appeared.

“Oh, it’s Lady Radonte.”

“Your Majesty.”

With Larisa in her arms, Guinevere slightly lowered her head. The Queen naturally also glanced at Larisa.

Larisa wanted to greet her according to the etiquette she had learned from Siod not long ago, but Guinevere didn’t put her down.

“Your Majesty, please let me down.”

“What? No, there are too many people here, and you might get lost if you do something wrong.”

“But I need to greet…”

“What did you say? I can’t hear you.”

A lie. She could hear everything. Larisa pursed her lips. Whether she said anything or not, Guinevere didn’t put her down.

She knew that Larisa found etiquette difficult. She didn’t want to make her feel down for no reason. Smiling as if she knew everything, the Queen said,

“You’re still young, so you don’t need to be so formal, Miss Larisa.”

“Your Majesty, I apologize.”

Larisa bowed her head in confusion. When she did, the Queen’s maids started giggling, saying she was cute.

“Would you like to sit with us, Lady Radonte? We have a spot.”

Princess Elizabeth, who had been standing a step behind the Queen, made eye contact with Larisa.

‘No, I don’t want to…’

Thinking that, Guinevere spoke firmly with a determined expression,

“I’m sorry, but we plan to participate in the hunting competition.”

“Oh my.”

The Queen looked surprised. After all, during the Spring Hunt, it was customary for women to enjoy themselves with other women while men were hunting.

However, Guinevere was unaware of such customs.

“I’m going to win first place.”
