“Huh? What are you talking about…….”
“My dear.”
My dear? What dear?
As I blinked, he kindly spelled it out for me, word by word.
“Why don’t you call me ‘dear?'”
What did I just hear?
I was considering pinching my ears.
That’s when Evan stepped forward.
“I’m her maid. Talk to me.”
She didn’t look seven with her confidence.
However, to Kashar’s eyes, she was nothing but an obstacle.
“Get lost, child. We are about to have an adult conversation.”
He grinned, revealing his teeth, looking incredibly handsome yet threatening.
Evan’s face hardened.
Kashar, however, approached the child who wouldn’t move aside.
“Didn’t you hear? Aileen and I have been lovers. For a very long time…….”
“Wait, wait a minute!”
What is this gentleman saying in front of the child!
“Sir Evan, I’ll be right back!”
I hastily grabbed Kashar’s hand and entered the building.
I was out of my mind, not knowing where I was headed. It turned out to be the kitchen.
‘Here again?’
The kitchen was where I first met Kashar.
I tensed up, wondering if he might mention that accident.
But Kashar just looked at me, not saying anything.
‘…He’s scanning me.’
Kashar was examining me from head to toe with his eyes.
‘He’s clearly thinking about where to cut.’
If not that, he was contemplating whether to chop or slice.
‘I’m sorry, Your Highnesses. It seems this is as far as I go.’
Before Louis and Evan could become enraged, it seemed I was going to die first.
Seeing the grownup princes was my wish, but now it’s all ruined.
‘Kill me quickly if you’re going to.’
But as I was leaving my last words, Kashar was thinking something else.
“Why aren’t you wearing anything?”
“……What?”
“A gift.”
I couldn’t understand why he was bringing up this topic all of a sudden.
‘Is he protesting that he hasn’t received anything?’
I could think of nothing else. Most of what Kashar sent were things to wear.
I timidly expressed my opinion.
“It’s not for me……?”
“Why not? It was in return for breakfast. I said I would reciprocate, didn’t I?”
“You were serious?”
I still couldn’t believe it.
No matter how excellent the food I prepared, it couldn’t be worth more than the gifts he sent.
But Kashar acted incredulous.
“So you thought it was a joke?”
“No, sparing my life is enough.”
My face became stern since my life was at stake.
Still, since it was a horror movie I’d experienced before, it seemed I was keeping my wits about me.
“That’s something different.”
“What’s different?”
“The gift was in return for breakfast. Compensation for the accident is separate.”
It meant that was that, and this was this.
‘What logical nonsense is this!’
I hurriedly objected.
“I didn’t receive anything!”
“One of your princes was surrounded by toys.”
His mocking words filled me with despair.
‘Prince Louis!’
The 7yearold who couldn’t control his desire had broken his promise.
‘I should have made him pinky swear and stamp it!’
No, I should have shown him the death penalty first!
Regret was useless now.
“Don’t worry. I won’t ask you to pay me back. But aren’t you going to serve me a meal today?”
Whether it was funny that I was in despair, Kashar, laughing openly, looked around the kitchen and asked.
Life was on the line; what importance did money and jewels hold?
I complained naturally.
“……You’re not going to spare me anyway.”
Even if he asks like that, I end up glaring if he has no intention of sparing me.
He asked, feigning ignorance of his upturned eyes.
“Will you do it?”
“I can serve up to 18 dishes!”
If the number sounds like a curse, it must be a misunderstanding!
The feeling was inconsistent, like alternating between a cold bath and a hot one, but hope was better than nothing.
Grinning at his lightningfast change of demeanor, he grabbed the end of my hair and said,
“I’m tempted by the food you’ve made, but I have another favor to ask.”
Kashar’s shadow loomed over me. The distance was so close that I felt I had to hold my breath.
Whether he knew I was tense or not, his graceful fingertips slowly released my hair.
“First, a date.”
He came for a date, was he serious?
Thump. Thump. My heart was throbbing.
However, it was difficult to distinguish whether it was trembling from fear or excitement.
“I can’t understand a word you’ve been saying.”
Perhaps it was time to be honest.
Kashar squinted his eyes as if he disliked my ignorance.
“I’ve become interested in you.”
At that explosive declaration, my face turned beet red.
It had to be a lie. However.
‘Excuse me, Sir. It’s a crime to make a lie this exciting.’
The target was too handsome to accuse him of being a fraud.
Kashar nonchalantly pushed me into confusion, looking perfectly fine himself.
Before I could express my unfairness, he extended his hand to me.
“Let’s go.”
The large hand with thick knuckles resembled its owner.
‘His hand, it’s enormous.’
It was a hand where the bones protruded and the veins were evident.
Gulp. I cautiously raised my hand to his, swallowing dryly.
