“Moo, how audacious! Lady, no, Your Grace! How dare you laugh in front of me?”
The princess shouted indignantly, her face turning red.
But Olivia couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Perhaps mother and daughter were alike. No, if they made me laugh like this, the princess and the prince were all the same.
Suddenly, Olivia stopped laughing. She calmly faced the princess.
“Why… are you so, unchanging?”
Olivia spoke earnestly. Memories that she thought she had shaken off began to quickly resurface.
“When Your Highness gave me the first command and now, the situation has drastically changed.”
“Ch, the situation changed! What nonsense are you talking about, telling me to hand over the mine!”
Time was pressing, but Olivia kept saying incomprehensible things. The princess, with a nervous heart, shouted outright.
A faint smile appeared on Olivia’s face.
“You’re late. Your Highness.”
“What?”
In the gentle voice, the princess grasped the meaning a moment late.
The princess immediately glared at Olivia with fiercely sharpened eyes. If looks could kill, the princess would have killed Olivia right now. The sharp breaths became increasingly rough.
But Olivia, with a more composed attitude than anyone else, shrugged her shoulders.
“You told me to hand it over. It was clearly something I received as a price for the deal.”
“Price? What audacity to the treasure of the royal family…!”
The princess, who had been denying Olivia’s words unconditionally, swallowed her breath for a moment. Now that she thought about it, she had forgotten the reason why I gave her the mine, focused on regaining the mine.
Countless thoughts surged over the princess’s pupils. Olivia lightly smiled.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“…”
“I received the Baeksujeong mine as a silent promise to keep Your Highness’s secret.”
Secret. The pronunciation of those two words echoed particularly chillingly.
The tip of the princess’s fingers trembled. Although her disheveled fingertips caught Olivia’s eyes, it didn’t matter.
“But even so, if you keep telling me to hand over the mine, should I… immediately go outside and reveal that I, who restored the retail territory of Chun Gunggi in the presence of all the nobles and envoys, is you?”
A kind voice echoed above the balcony. The startled princess quickly looked around, and as if drowning out Olivia’s voice, she screamed like a scream.
“How dare you, this impudent person!”
“Your Highness. Shouldn’t you make requests like that from a higher place?”
“If you’re so eager to make requests. Your Highness.”
Olivia’s quiet words were undoubtedly a reminder of a clear day, a phrase I had said before.
“If you make requests so grandly. Lady?”
Olivia’s requests were generally similar.
She would ask the prince to keep a promise to dance with her instead of herself, or she wished he would provide a little more information about the territory, such trivial things.
The princess had always found Olivia, who perfectly observed the etiquette even on the subject of a thousandth, irritating. How dare she bring up the words she used to lower her head now!
“Even if I have to take revenge now…!”
The princess, who was shouting fiercely, unintentionally stopped speaking. Her green eyes were gazing at me intensely.
Was Olivia’s gaze a test for herself?
Cold sweat ran down my back. Before the sweat reached the small of my back, the princess closed her eyes tightly.
There was only one way she could choose.
“P-please!”
The noble princess’s high and mighty pride knelt down. She lowered her head towards Olivia.
“Please give back that precious mine to me. Lady.”
The princess was too ashamed to open her eyes, not knowing what she was saying, and pled with Olivia.
Olivia had no response. The princess spoke whatever came to her mind.
“If it’s the price for that mine, I’ll pay anything.”
“Anything, really?”
A laughter-tinged phrase floated above her head. The princess, taken aback, lifted her head. Then, in a hurry, she continued speaking.
“Y-yes! Now, it seems my father is favoring you, Lady, and if you want my property, Viscount Euler is ready to await my command at any time.”
Olivia grinned as she listened to the princess’s words. The transition from pleading to persuasion was momentary.
And what was hidden in those words was something Olivia had been longing for all her life.
“After this matter is resolved, I will ask you, Lady, for the first dance with my father.”
The first dance promised with the prince, which I always pledged as a habit.
“To properly arrange the banquet, I won’t mention Lady’s engagement with my father in it. I won’t let the words come out.”
I wanted to stand properly next to the prince at the engagement ceremony.
“If I can’t resolve even this matter, why should I support Lady? There are plenty of noble ones who can take the position of the prince’s wife, even if it’s not Lady.”
And even a young pledge to stand by the prince for the Duke of Madeline.

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

Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
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.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
