Chapter 42

Alyssa bit her lips.

They are already very sick from Avery. She couldn’t load any more luggage.

‘The gardener was away anyway…’

At that time, she can take care of the royal affairs. Even after getting married, people will point to them as puppets who move according to the queen’s name.

It would be hard, but she didn’t want to see Norfe in front of Ophelia and Juliana saying, ‘We’ve been invited by Alyssa.’ Alyssa nodded her head.

“I will.”

She would have been better off doing emotional and physical labor for a week or so, rather than saying that she would invite Norfe. The queen’s eyes grew lighter.

She wants to punish Alyssa and imprison her right now, but she is anxious because she can’t.

Alyssa laughed painfully.

Avery’s bridle is like a curse. A curse that will only come off at death.

“It’s better to start preparing today, so get out! It’s a masked party hosted by Vanessa because she wants to hang out with her friends. Try to do well.”

Vanessa Avery.

It was Alyssa’s only half-sister. Unlike Alyssa, who enjoys nothing like a princess, she enjoys everything and has a comfortable life. The queen wrapped around her only daughter and did everything she asked for.

She had the luxury and she had a lot of parties.

It wasn’t once or twice for the queen to steal Alyssa’s share of the budget and pour it out on Vanessa.

‘She’s still there.’

Speaking of Vanessa’s friends, it was obvious. People who have little to see and live a parasitic life of power and money. Alyssa put her eyes down.

Vanessa’s friends were people who were pathetic and who had nothing to do with each other. They would not have approached if Vanessa had not been a princess. Alyssa has also witnessed an affair with her lover, whom she believes that Vanessa will surely marry.

A group of people like Vanessa gathered.

“Yes, Mother. I will work hard.”

Pretending she knew nothing, she responded obediently and raised herself. The queen beckoned, as if Alyssa, who did not lose till the end, was hurting her head.

‘I’d rather do well.’

She was thinking about it because there was no one to leave her work, but the banquet hosted by Alyssa from the past was different than before. Even the shops that said there weren’t any leftovers after Alissa said a few words, poured out their scraps.

It was difficult to appease Vanessa, who has been getting more irritable these days, so she is given prey.

“Hoo… Then let’s go to work.”

Alyssa bowed her head and raised her head.

‘I protected something!’

Alyssa’s heart pounded with excitement. Her body will be exhausted, but she is much better now.  Her eyes left the queen.

She had already envisioned a banquet of Vanessa’s taste in her mind.

She hates to do it, but she thought it would be better to get it done quickly.

On her way home, she would have to stop by the store to buy what she needed and send it to the royal family.

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, she didn’t hear anything about the budget.

‘Is this also the same?’

Bullying Alyssa. Childish. What’s so important about that money? Alyssa sighed. She was just thinking about spending it from her pocket.

Alyssa curled his lips and asked.

‘I think I’m a little broke.’

It seemed like she had to devise to make money. She’s been busy with the work she’s had in hand… She couldn’t think of anything because she was so busy.

She had a secret that others didn’t know.

Alyssa stopped by the castle where she was staying for a while and opened a drawer in the corner of her room. She saw the old pen and inkwell she used to write with. Alyssa rolled a familiar pen in her hand. It was like a refuge for Alyssa, and her surprising popularity helped her a lot.

She said she didn’t know about people.

Alyssa touched the pen’s cool nib.

Her life was like a spaghetti filled with stimulating seasonings, so her autobiographical novels used to be popular. Maybe this time too.

Others are living in reality while she tells a life that can only be seen in her novels.
