“What’s with the chocolate powder around your mouths? You didn’t eat His Highness the Second Prince’s snacks, did you?”
The maids, anxiously observing Amy’s disheveled appearance, were startled by her sharp question and then quickly waved their hands with faces turning ashen.
“No, not at all! We didn’t eat them.”
“Yes, certainly not. How could we do such a thing…”
Amy scoffed at their obvious lies. After arriving here, she had discovered that because the Second Prince was treated as an outcast in the royal palace, the maids working for him had no scruples about stealing his food.
Too exhausted to argue, Amy simply waved her hand to dismiss them. The maids hesitated.
“Um… You’re leaving tomorrow, aren’t you? Have you prepared?”
“Are you done?”
Amy was certain they hadn’t lifted a finger to help. As expected, their faces showed why they would bother with such things.
“No?”
“Then why ask? Just go.”
“Yes……”
The maids quickly left the palace, rubbing the chocolate off their mouths. Amy could only click her tongue at their lack of remorse.
“That’s right, go on, go. After all, getting rid of the Crown Prince’s lackeys is a help.”
Now that there were no prying eyes, Amy allowed herself to relax and dragged her aching leg up the stairs to her inner chamber. The room was too shabby to be thought of as part of the royal palace, but Amy didn’t mind and threw herself onto the bed.
Every part of her body ached and throbbed, but her spirit felt light as if it could soar.
‘I did it! Escape is imminent!!’
Amy felt a great relief at having overcome the greatest obstacle.
‘I wondered if I really had to endure all this, but it was worth it. I don’t want to operate with an enemy at my back.’
She took a deep breath, pondering her next steps.
‘All that’s left is to safely reach the North and properly nurture the Second Prince. I remember everything that could be valuable…’
Thinking of the Second Prince softened the hardening in her heart.
‘And then to eliminate the Crown Prince…’
Amy’s thought was interrupted as she pressed a hand to her chest.
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
Her heart beat peacefully, just as usual.
‘Yes, that’s what I must do.’
Amy sighed deeply. Her body, worn from torture and cold, declared a strike. She closed her eyes and murmured quietly.
“Let’s get some sleep first.”
“Amy?”
Startled by the call, Amy lifted her head. The Second Prince stood in the doorway, looking at her. Amy, who had been sitting on the floor packing, slammed the lid of the trunk shut and gestured to the Second Prince.
“Come here.”
He hesitated for a moment before striding over. His black curly hair, rare in the palace, swayed above his forehead.
The prince sat down quietly in front of Amy, folding his long legs. Amy looked at him with tender feelings.
‘He’s seventeen but looks no more than fifteen…’
The prince, responding to Amy’s gaze with a slight smile, despite being a sensitive adolescent, was quite affectionate towards her. Amy asked with a soft smile.
“Your Highness, have you eaten?”
“There was no one around?”
“……Ah.”
She then remembered telling the maids to leave the day before. Amy licked her lips and stood up.
“Let’s go to the kitchen together. I’ll prepare something simple for you to eat.”
“Okay.”
The prince hesitated before cautiously taking Amy’s hand. Having been in the Second Prince’s palace for only two months, the emotionally starved boy willingly took her offered hand, unaware of her ulterior motives.
Every time Amy felt the young prince’s trust in her, she experienced a nagging feeling of guilt, as if her shallow conscience was pricking her. Each time she was faced with her longstanding guilt, Amy would deliberately speak out loud to reassure herself.
‘I just need to start treating him better from now on, that’s all!’
Yes, that was why she had traveled back in time from the past.
Upon arriving in the kitchen, Amy seated the prince in a corner chair. She then put butter in a pot on the stove and started slicing the vegetables she had taken from the shelf.
“Your Highness, you know we are leaving this afternoon, right?”
The prince, mesmerized by Amy’s swift hand movements, nodded his head.
“Yes, I packed all the valuables separately.”
“Well done.”
Amy sautéed the finely chopped vegetables in the bubbling butter, then added milk and cream to make a soup. She quickly prepared a simple salad and warmed some bread, and soon a delicious meal was ready.
“Please eat.”
The prince, swallowing eagerly, picked up his spoon. He happily devoured the food. Watching him, Amy smiled contentedly, while her mind was busy with calculations.
‘Let’s see, the route is all set, and I’ve made sure the palace guards won’t be able to follow us…’
What remained was a leisurely and splendid journey with the prince.
‘If only I had returned a few months earlier, I could have prepared more perfectly…’
