Charlotte, although shocked by her son’s level of rebellion, felt it was best not to meet the children in such an emotional state. She wanted to ask what could be so troubling to make him want to leave everything but was also filled with anger.
As she turned to leave, a loud crack!
A noise jolting enough to stop her heart in its tracks came from beneath her feet.
With a chill running down her spine, Charlotte glanced at the broken branch on the ground, then at the Empress and Annette.
Her face turned to a look of despair.
‘Please, let them not have heard.’
Being discovered here would be an embarrassingly unsightly scene.
“Who’s there…?”
Unfortunately, it seemed Mikhail had heard the noise of the uninvited guest.
His nerves were on edge from the previous day’s events.
“Who… is it?”
Though he thought of Annette, who he had seen the day before, it could also be his mother.
Mikhail’s voice was tinged with fear.
Charlotte was equally nervous that Mikhail might come in their direction.
At that moment…
“I’m sorry, it’s me again. Your Highness.”
Annette stepped out from behind the bushes, passing her.
Silent astonishment was felt from behind.
Annette knew she had acted impulsively but didn’t regret it. It was necessary, and she was the only one who could intervene in this situation.
And Annette was pleased that she could do something to help the Empress and Charlotte in a difficult situation.
With a heart full of emotions, Annette stepped out and apologized to Mikhail.
“I inadvertently overheard your conversation. I’m really sorry.”
Mikhail, his face turning pale, started to exclaim “You, you!” but then abruptly closed his mouth, probably recalling the Empress’s admonition to behave politely.
Annette turned her gaze to the girl standing behind Mikhail. The girl had fair skin, neatly arranged black hair, and was clutching a thick book to her chest.
‘Oh, this must be Audrey!’
Having heard her conversation with Mikhail, Annette had imagined Audrey to be quite precocious. However, upon meeting her, she realized Audrey still had a very youthful face despite her intelligent aura.
Annette, not realizing that she herself looked about Audrey’s age at the moment, smiled apologetically at Audrey, who seemed quite startled and had her eyes wide open.
Just then, tears began to fall unexpectedly from Audrey’s eyes.
“……?!”
“Oh, Audrey!”
Mikhail rushed towards Audrey in alarm, but she firmly avoided him.
“Now I understand. The reason you said we shouldn’t meet for a while, and why you suddenly called me after a long time and acted so strangely.”
“Strange stubbornness……?”
“If you liked another young lady, you should have just told me.”
“What? What are you talking about!”
“I thought you had invited only me to this garden. Knowing that only royals could enter here, I trusted your feelings even more… but now…”
Annette, frozen at the sudden tears of the young girl, quickly snapped back to reality, realizing that the mature conversation was taking a strange turn.
“Wait, miss, you’re misunderstanding. His Highness doesn’t like me.”
Mikhail, who had been helplessly shuffling his feet, not knowing how to react to Audrey’s tears, quickly agreed with Annette.
“Yes, she’s right! I didn’t invite her! It was my mother who…”
Then his face turned to one of dismay, realizing the awkwardness of his situation.

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.

Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
