Certainly, I will translate the passage according to the character details and guidelines provided:
“Will you see His Highness the Crown Prince next Monday as well?”
As soon as the carriage left the palace, the dedicated maid Sally asked. Olivia’s face brightened as she nodded her head.
Sally, the same age as Essela, was a maid from Madelleine Orphanage, which she had sponsored. She followed me particularly well, growing to the point where she could be trusted as a personal maid, much like Essela, after I had looked after her a few times.
“It seems His Highness the Crown Prince likes you, Miss.”
Olivia smiled a little at Sally’s innocent and romantic search for love.
Indeed. I was just as naive in front of love.
“Let’s have lunch together next Monday. I will send the carriage at lunchtime.”
Leopold’s words were clear in my ears.
My father would be pleased to know this. It’s the first time Leopold has asked for a date. Perhaps he’ll say, “Well done?”
The thought of my father, who had been continually ignoring me, crossed my mind, but Olivia consciously tried to erase it.
The grand view of the endlessly stretching imperial palace ended, and outside the window, dazzling and elegant shops appeared.
Luheiren Street. The busiest and trendsetting street in the kingdom.
.
.
.
The dazzling boutique street, Sally’s steps slowed down. What she was looking at with envious eyes was a dazzling dress displayed at the entrance of the boutique.
“Is it so pretty?”
“Hehe. It seems to be Madam Pluto’s new work. Isn’t it sparkling and so pretty?”
Sally, who had been smiling embarrassingly, sparkled her eyes again. Olivia also looked carefully at the dress at that remark. The light pink with the full skirt lace seemed to suit Essela well.
Thinking of Essela wearing that dress, Olivia’s mood brightened as well.
“Sally. Tell that boutique to come to the mansion next week.”
“Are you getting a dress fitted, Miss? Oh my goodness!”
“Not me. Essela.”
Sally, who had been so happy, pursed her lips.
She had heard that if she served a princess, she would be going around the boutiques every day, but that was all a lie.
Busy buying things for the family, Olivia didn’t even take care of her share.
“You would suit such a brightcolored dress as well, Miss.”
“Later.”
Olivia grinned and promised next time. Sally knew that ‘later’ wouldn’t come even after five years, but she didn’t say anything. Instead, she started another conversation.
“You’re going to buy a diary today and then go to the mailbox, right?”
“Yes. I wonder if a letter has come?”
At Olivia’s playful words, Sally realized her mistake.
Because the ‘letter’, the only pleasure of the hobbyless Miss, hadn’t arrived for already six months.
Watching the restless Sally, Olivia grinned.
“He must be busy. They say the war is at its final stage.”
The words to Sally were also words to herself.
Not receiving letters for six months was not a good sign. Especially if the recipient was a knight involved in the war with Hefeerti.
The fact that she started exchanging letters with a knight she didn’t even know the name of was really a coincidence.
After Jade left for the battlefield, Olivia sent aid several times. But Jade returned all the aid sent in Olivia’s name.
Just in case, she sent aid under a pseudonym. Seeing that it didn’t come back, her heart sank, but it was okay. She was happy that Jade was using those things.
One day, a letter came to me. The letter from the battlefield was a thank you for the aid.
To Liv Green, with gratitude.
That day, Olivia read the letter addressed to her over and over. It was so strange and ticklish that someone would express so much gratitude to me.
So the letters kept coming. Until six months ago, when the letters stopped.
He must be doing well. They say they have the upper hand, so he must be busy.
Olivia thought positively, recalling the letters she had carefully kept.
Certainly, Olivia had been hoping for a letter today.
She ventured into the narrow path with anticipation.
The bookstore where she always bought her diary was on the outskirts of the bustling street. Though only just beyond the bustling area, the surroundings had suddenly grown quiet.
“Toll! You noble one, have you eaten your ears, why can’t you understand?!”
A fierce shout came from deep within the alley.
“Miss, it seems there are still people collecting tolls.”
“Indeed.”
As she spoke, Olivia moved her steps. It seemed the loud noise had come from around here.
Thinking, she looked into the alley, and there were shabby men surrounding one person. Wearing a robe with the hood pulled up, the towering figure among the men caught her eye.
It was an all too familiar scene.
Sensing someone’s presence, one of the ruffians looked back.
“Eh? What? Where did these gutless things come from?”
“There are two of them at that.”
With a sneering laugh, the two men started to approach Olivia. The hooded person hesitated for a moment, but the two seemed intent on not stopping.
Olivia spoke as usual.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
