The day after meeting a boy named Yurik, Sione returned to Rose Palace.
She returned a day earlier than expected.
The maids, who had accidentally revealed the birthday party preparations due to Sione’s sudden appearance, all wore a sullen expression.
“Heavens, what do we do if you come back so early! You should have come a bit slower.”
“That’s right. You always miss the timing, especially at times like this!”
As Roy and Ronya, who were hanging colorful garlands, were grumbling, Sione scratched her cheek with an embarrassed look.
“It’s been too long since I’ve cared for something like this. …I totally forgot that my birthday is tomorrow.”
Muttering as if to make excuses, she coughed awkwardly several times. Perhaps she was grateful for the situation, but it seemed quite awkward.
“Remember when we had a birthday party just among us? Don’t you remember when you made a big fuss back then?”
“…Me?”
“Anyway, you couldn’t be stopped. Until Bella wakes up, there’s no thought of a birthday celebration, you were so angry.”
Sitting on a chair and leisurely sucking on a lollipop, I opened my eyes wide.
I expected that Sione wouldn’t be interested in such an event due to her nature, but I didn’t know that it was because of me.
“So, later when Bella wakes up, we decided to take care of it again. You must have completely forgotten.”
“It seems like I remember. But, even so, taking care of my birthday before Bella’s is a bit… What’s so important about me?”
Afterward, Sione continued to lay out her reproachful words.
How can we prioritize me, just a mere nanny, over the princess? Although we live like a family due to circumstances, we must not forget that Bella is our master.
Most of it made sense, but I couldn’t agree with Sione’s strict opinion.
She was as precious to me as my birth mother.
Especially, I felt uncomfortable when Sione demeaned herself by saying ‘what’s so important about me’.
How could a motherlike figure who cares and nurtures me be less valuable, even if I was born of noble blood?
Watching the maids, who were happily preparing the birthday party, become gloomy, I jumped off the chair.
“No, Sione. That’s not it.”
Cutting between Sione and the maids, I took a confident pose and waved my finger.
“What? What do you mean…….”
I took a deep breath and spread my arms as wide as possible.
“I like Sione’s birthday very much. So, let’s all celebrate. Huh?”
“But, it’s against the palace’s etiquette…….”
“Don’t care, don’t care. Me, I want to have a party. You’ll grant my wish, won’t you?”
I fluttered my big eyes, and Sione smiled faintly. It was a good sign.
Then, Rosa, who had a quick eye, didn’t miss the chance and chimed in.
“Come on, there’s even a birthday present that Bella prepared! Are you still going to refuse?”
“This is… a Dahlia flower?”
Sione, who received the purple bouquet from Rosa, looked at me in surprise.
I had already brainwashed her into thinking that Rosa had fetched the flowers from the lake, but I felt a bit pricked by the lie.
After coughing a couple of times, I deliberately looked away and answered in a soft voice.
“I asked Rosa to get it. Right, Sione, you like this flower, don’t you?”
“That’s right. But how did you…….”
“I remembered when I was a baby.”
She seemed surprised that I still remembered when I was a baby and touched that I remembered her little mumble.
“Oh my, there’s a letter inside too. Can I read it now?”
“Ah! Wait a moment!”
I tried to stop her, but it was too late.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Sione was already reading the neatly folded letter.
Knowing what was written inside, I hung my head with a face turned red as a beet.
[Thank you. And I love you.] It was a short letter, scrawled helplessly because of a small hand that could barely hold a pencil.In truth, I hesitated a bit when writing the word “love.”
So among the crooked letters, I remember that the word “I love you” was particularly twisted, pressed hard.
Because I still don’t know exactly what love is.
“Happy birthday. It’s normal to write ‘I love you’ at a time like this… right?”
I had never experienced love among family members, and my relationship with my fiancé was neither friendly nor romantic.
Though I was not accustomed to expressing emotions in words, fortunately, I theoretically knew what to say in this situation thanks to sufficient reading in my previous life.
I love you.
Three letters that are very simple, but hard to say out loud.
“Geez, I don’t know!”
I learned love from books.
Well, I don’t think that’s too bad.
How can the desire to utilize that feeling, being a human born with emotions, be ignored?
Rather, those who make no effort at all are inferior.
As Sione began to tear up reading the last sentence, hurriedly scratched out,
“Bella, ma’am…”
Ah, I didn’t know she would cry!
“Why do kids cry at the drop of a hat here!”
I, who didn’t even know how to shed tears for myself as I was dying engulfed in flames, certainly didn’t know how to comfort a crying person.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
