The Lady Wants To Rest - Chapter 26

It was definitely because of this bomb!

‘The Fourth Prince is here?’

My eyebrows furrowed.

Fourth Prince Aurelian.

Though he was a prince with no right to the throne, he inherently had the Eye of the Beholder that was the symbol of a King.

The Eye of the Beholder, which was also known as the Emperor’s Eye, was something that appeared in only one person every few generations.

It held the power to look through to the very essence of an object, so it had been decided that those born inherently with the Eye of the Beholder would always rise to the throne.

However, in this generation, the illegitimate Fourth Prince was the one born with the Eye of the Beholder. Thus, the issue of the inheritance of the Western Empire’s throne had become incredibly complicated.

The political scene split into two behind the traditional Crown Prince and the Eye of the Beholder, the Fourth Prince.

Of course, it wouldn’t matter whether the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince battled for the throne or not if I merely baked cakes at a bakery.

‘That is, if I wasn’t the Fourth Prince’s fiancee.’

That’s right.

The fiancee of the protagonist of this chaotic fight for the throne, the Fourth Prince, was Rubia.

In other words, my fiancee was attending this Academy.

‘Why did the Fourth Prince have to attend Renault Academy?’

I thought as my face crumpled with annoyance.

The person I needed to avoid the most was the very Fourth Prince.

However, I had entered the school of the figure I should never meet, the Fourth Prince, headfirst.

‘If I marry the Fourth Prince, my life will be ruined. Not just a little, but completely ruined.’

The moment I married him, it was obvious what kind of life laid ahead of me. It was a spectacle itself. I had to avoid it at all costs.

‘If he is part of the Royal Family, he should stay at the Royal Palace. Why here of all places?’

The reason was very simple.

It was mandatory for the Royal Family of the Western Empire to graduate from the Academy. Its intent was so that the figures who would reign in the political field of the Empire would not live imprisoned in the Royal Palace, and would experience various environments outside of the Palace.

‘I should have finalized this issue before leaving the Grand Duchy.’

I sighed. I had set off from the Grand Duchy so chaotically that I wasn’t able to pay full attention to the problem of my engagement.

As I was deep in thought, I came to a conclusion.

‘Since he’s a fourth year, he’ll graduate soon anyways. I’ll just avoid him till then.’

Since I’ll almost never leave the dormitory, there would be no chance we’ll meet each other.

‘Not to mention, if a lady left her household, the household would naturally dissolve her engagement.’

Of course, they might not dissolve the engagement. In the worst-case scenario, I really might have married.

If that happened…

I laid in bed and muttered indifferently.

“Well, is there anything difficult about it? I will make the Fourth Prince dissolve the engagement himself.”

‘Great. Now that everything’s been figured out, I’ll enjoy this paradise leisurely.’

Afterward, I continued to lay in bed lazily. I didn’t get up unless I was hungry, at which time I would go to the cafeteria.

‘I am the bed. The bed.’

I wonder how long I could remain in this state where I and the bed had become one?

The figure of the sulky and pouting Marie appeared in front of my eyes.

‘Hm. I feel a little sorry.’

I recalled Marie’s excitement that had exceeded mine when I received news of my acceptance.

For some reason, I felt a little guilty.

“Marie?”

When I called her, Marie responded with a sulky voice.

“What is it? Since milady is a genius, you said you didn’t need someone like me.”

At those words, I chuckled. I have no idea why she’s so cute.

“That’s not true. Why, I need our Marie.”

Marie looked away with a swish.

I decided to present my cute maid with a gift.

“Do you want to go get some good to eat?”
