CH 10

After that, I started exercising as hard as I had promised.

But unlike my will, Rosent’s body was like a twisted piece of wood.

I don’t even have muscles, but when I tried to do push-ups, I couldn’t do more than three.

I tried to do sit-ups, but soon gave up because of the pain in my stomach.

In the end, all that’s left for me is …

“Lady, please give it up now!”

It was just Annie’s crying and yoga.

Annie yelled at me what a weird exercise this was, but I didn’t give up.

I guess that’s what Noah said I was weak. He said I was much weaker than he was!

And it’s no longer a shame that Noah’s growth process is missed because of his weak body.

In my own way, I tried yoga poses, reliving memories of my past life.

But again, even that was not flexible enough to be close to a wooden stone, so I had to give it up.

“Uh-huh.”

I didn’t have any more strength left, so I collapsed onto the carpet and wept a few tears.

This is deplorable. This mushy body is so ugly!

That’s enough. After all, people eat well even if they don’t exercise.

Yes, Rosent is incredibly smart instead of weak.

Of course, the problem is that “Rosent” is smart, not me!

“…….”

I stood up from the carpet with a ridiculous self-justification.

The party was gone, and I felt like I couldn’t do anything about it.

Speaking of which, grapes are in season, and I want to eat them with plenty of grape jam spread on top of the bread.

As the grains are chewed by themselves, the unique taste of sweetness.

‘I’m going to make it.’

Yes, I couldn’t even work out, so why shouldn’t I be able to do this?

I can make one jam myself.

While we’re making it, let’s bring it to Noah.

Even in the novel, he still likes sweet things most, I’m sure he’ll be happy.

“Annie, do you want to go to the kitchen for the first time in a while?”

When I arrived at the kitchen, I tried the grape jam on a whim, and it turned out to be pretty well made.

Because of the long boiling, although it became more like jelly than jam ……. What do you think? I just need a taste.

Wait. Now that we’ve made jam, let’s bake some hotcakes.

T/N: Did she meant pancakes?

I think I’ve heard that meringue is fluffy and tastes even better when baked…….

I had fun baking for the first time in a long time, and I ended up dabbling in hotcakes at “grape jam” only.

Hot cakes have syrup, of course, so I made syrup again.

He said that heavy cream was essential for decorating, so he made it again.

In addition, the maids who were watching from the sidelines took another drink and even brought out some ornamental fruit.

And how much did they add?

Suddenly, a cake, not grape jam, was in front of me.

In such a perfect shape that even if you sell it, you can’t beat it.

“Annie, I guess I’m talented.”

Shall we expand our business by focusing on the bakery?

I admired myself and showed off the finished cake to Annie. Then Annie said with a small admiration.

“Oh my gosh, it’s pretty. It would be perfect to eat with black tea. Can I get it ready?”

“Yes, please.”

With an answer, I turned my gaze to the cake and picked up the knife.

When I saw the appetizingly shaped cake, I began to wonder where to start.

I feel like I’m going to ruin it if I touch it more here……?

Ugh. I’ve been trying hard to put up every single blueberry, but I think it’s going to fall apart.

Eventually, I took the knife off the cake and said to Annie:

“Will you ask Noah to come to the garden? It’s been a long time since I’ve had a proper teatime.”

“Well……. I’ll come back after seeing his schedule.”

Annie obediently walked out of the kitchen and asked her fellow colleague about Noah’s schedule.

But the answer that came back was not affirmative.

Because…….

“What can I do? You’re taking swordsmanship lessons right now.”

Another guest had intercepted our Noah.

‘Wait a minute.’

If it’s a swordsmanship class…….

[You’re sensitive.]

“Oh.”

Damn. I remembered it.

Clang.

I stopped cutting for a moment, as if I had stopped suddenly, in the flow of my head.

Then it was only a matter of time before the knife came out of his loose hand.

The knife grazed my finger, leaving a small cut.

“Ahh

I let out a grunt and looked at my cut fingers.

His fingers were bleeding with a tingling pain.

Startled by the sudden onset of pain, my heart couldn’t beat fast enough and was on the verge of falling.

My hands are bleeding and my heart is about to explode.

I’m in a mess, but funnily enough, it brought me back to reality.

Nevertheless…… Luckily, I don’t feel as mesmerized or intoxicated by the scent as I used to.

I squealed my eyes shut and opened and shook my head.

‘That.’

Then, as soon as I shook my head, my mind was clear.

One minute. It’s rather fine, isn’t it?

“Miss!”

Surprised, Annie walked up to me and wrapped her handkerchief around my fingers.

I grimaced at the pain that came over me once more, and then I breathed again.

“It’s okay, I’m fine, can you move some cake for me?”

“Yes…….”

Annie hurriedly picked up the knife that had fallen on my horse and tidied up the area.

But my interests had long since moved away from the cake.

[You just have to keep feeling that way.]

[You’ll forget all about it anyway.]

He said I’ll forgot it, what is this?

You haven’t forgotten anything.

And now that my mind is sober, I can’t forget anymore.

Maybe the pain in my fingers helped.

I calmed down, still breathing in my aching heart.

I’ve been wondering about it somewhere.

“…… After all, I’m worried about this.”

I stopped muttering and looked away.

If you’re in your mind, check out the stumbling blocks for yourself.

“Annie, Noah said he’s practicing swordsmanship.”

At the same time, he clenched his fingers and said:

“Let’s stop by for a minute.”

After my finger was bandaged, I grabbed my parasol to hide from the sun and hurried to the training arena.

Of course, the finished cake was to be set in the flower garden by the hands of the maids.

First of all, my plan was roughly this.

In this way, I go to the training hall first, and then I invite Noah to take a break and have tea time.

Then, naturally, Easton will follow, right?

That’s when I started talking about the other day.

“Hmm……!”

I clenched my small fists and exhaled vigorously.

Also, it was the moment.

Tak.

The dull sound of wooden swords clashing against each other echoed through the practice field.

It was none other than Noah who held the wooden sword…….

[If you get closer, you really won’t be able to get out of it.]

“Ugh.”

I paused for a moment at the sudden memory of that day and tightened my grip.

Only the innocent parasol was tormented by my pressure.

Of course, Noah and Easton, who didn’t know me like this, were talking to each other and concentrating on the lesson.

“You have good posture, but you don’t have too much strength in your hands.”

“Then if you squeeze it a little harder…”

At Easton’s gentle point, Noah stood up and struck his wooden sword once.

He also twisted, touched, and moved away repeatedly.

But it wasn’t long before

“Sister!”

Noah’s gaze on the wooden sword landed on me, and he began to wave one hand in delight several times.

His red eyes were full of life, glistening like the summer sun.

Oh my, are you waving at me right now?

You’re practicing?

“…… It’s cute.”

The thought of being confused by the creeping surprise was gone. I waved one hand and put a smile on my lips.

Then Easton stood beside Noah, looking at me with his natural blue-gray eyes shining.

Colors that are not only beautiful, but dreamy.

It was such a feeling that I was deprived of my reason.

‘Oh my gosh.’

And then again, like last time.

“……!”

I grabbed the reason that seemed to be taken away again and hurriedly hid in the parasol.

Of course, to Annie, who was by her side.

I’m sure she’s seen the same thing with me, but maybe she’s embarrassed by the same experience as me.

I asked her in a whisper, checking on Annie’s condition, just in case.

“Annie, are you okay? You feel weird, too!”

“What? What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

But in spite of my anxious whispers, Annie tilted her head and asked, as if she didn’t understand me.

At the same time, a question arose in my mind.

That, why does Annie look embarrassed?

Isn’t it rather me who should be surprised?

Maybe I’m too surprised to realize exactly what I’m doing… Of course not, right?

But when it comes so intensely, there’s no way you can’t feel it.

I ended up asking Annie about her symptoms.

“Don’t you feel like your heart is pounding and your body temperature is rising?”

“Oh, it’s cold.”

But Annie just nodded, putting her hand on my forehead as if she understood.

“I have a little fever. Would you like to come in?”

“No, no…!”

This isn’t that kind of heat, Annie.

In the end, I hurriedly corrected the parasol due to the nuances of Annie, who seemed to be dragged back to the room.

That was the moment.

“Sister!”

When the parasol was gone, Noah jumped into my arms.

And with him…….

“Good to see you.”

Easton came to greet you.

Kung.

Boom.

My heart began to beat at a crazy pace.

appeared. It appeared again.

“Ugh.”

I clenched my fists in a sense of what was sure to come again, and the pain in my fingers clutched the strings of reason.

But whether he knew me or not, Easton politely continued:

“Good afternoon, princess. My name is Eastern Rossotervan.”

[Eastern Rossotervan.]

That’s not much different from what happened last time.

It was an introduction, as if it were addressed to someone who was seeing it for the first time.

Wait, huh?

“I have heard from Duke about the princess. How do you do. It’s an honor to meet you.”

That’s it.

First meeting? We’re spherical, right?

T/N: Well, I dunno why I feel like Easton and Rosent have that vibe like couple than Noah and Rosent. Maybe I’m feeling this way because Noah is still young. Let’s see, what the author unfolds in future.

By the way what is hotcakes, that Rose is talking about? I have never heard any dessert like hotcakes, but in Bangladesh, there are some pastry shops which are named “Hot cake”. It’s a brand name. Cakes from there are affordable, hygienic and tasty. We always buy from there. Is Rose talking about pancakes as it requires syrup? Should I change it to pancakes? Lemme know.
