Ayla, who was fully enjoying her rest, frowned when she heard the sound of two men arguing. Even so, she could not overcome her drowsy body and closed eyes caused by the warm bath water.

“I will guide you to where you will be staying.”
“I will be in the room next to where Princess Zenia is staying.”
“That is difficult.”
“The Grand Duke has ordered for the Princess to be completely protected. It is unlikely, but if something happens during the night, we will both be in trouble. Secretary Orhan.”
As Eden spoke while smiling lightly, Orhan couldn’t find anything to answer back.
The people of the royal palace never let anything slide, as if only their words are correct.
Grand Duke Kyle Ermedi, as well as the knight who served him, were really one obstacle after the other.
Unexpected problems may arise if Eden stays near Ayla’s room, so he wanted to avoid this situation somehow.
If he ever saw Ayla with her makeup removed, it would be enough to make him suspicious of Princess Zenia of Ruit.
Although the silver-haired man, who had been looking at Zenia with an unpleasant look since before, standing in front of him somehow bothered him, he had no excuse.
He had no justifications to keep him away from Zenia.
Orhan let out a short sigh and closed his eyes as Eden passed by, patting his shoulder as he stood still.
It’s enough… He wanted to get off work.

“Elin, come here for a second.”
One of the maids called out Elin, who was carefully cleaning Ayla’s body as she had fallen asleep in the bathtub.
Click.
Ayla opened her eyes with a small shiver as cold air came in through the gap in the open door.
Ayla, who was leaning against the bathtub and exhaling shallowly, slowly raised her tired body.
“Ah… I just wish this was a bed.”
She couldn’t see Elin, who had entered the bathroom and had been staying by her side all the time.
Ayla, who was looking around, wiped herself with a towel that was laid on the side table and put a soft-looking shower robe over her shoulders.
When she wiped the mirror, which had fogged up due to the hot steam inside the bathroom, with her fingers, she saw Ayla Serdian, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
Thanks to Elin, who finished washing her face while she was asleep, Zenia’s appearance, brimming with attractiveness, was erased, and Ayla’s white and clean skin was revealed.
The inside of the mansion was filled with emptiness, and only the sound of water dripping from the closed faucet echoed.
“Where did she go…”
She leaned against the bathroom wall and waited for Elin, but she showed no signs of coming back.
She wanted to quickly throw herself into the soft bed, so she thought it was too much to wait for Elin any longer.
Ayla carefully came out of the bathroom, looked around, and, with light footsteps, walked towards the bedroom where she was staying.
“Hm. Which room was it… I’m confused because there was so much going on in the morning. Hm…”
Ayla tilted her head and muttered to herself when she saw the firmly closed doors on both sides.
Soon after, the doorknob on the right turned with a metallic sound and a small gap on the door opened.
“?”
“You’re inattentive both here and in that place.”
A smiling Theon, standing in a titled position, was reflected in Ayla’s shaking eyes.
‘Why is this person here?’
Her heart rate, which had been calm, started to increase little by little.

“The Princess’ loved person is staying in the room next to her. If they were waiting for the banquet to be over and you were to disturb them, wouldn’t we both be in an awkward situation? They could even get suspicious of Grand Duke Kyle Ermedi’s kindness, so please stop this and go downstairs.”
Eden’s brows furrowed at Orhan’s words, who had a seemingly embarrassed expression.
Orhan thought he had no choice now that they have come this far, even if he is a knight under the command of the Stellen Kingdom.
A princess from another country wants to share her affection with her lover; so there can’t be a crazy guy squeezing in next to her.
This was the best option and the best excuse he could come up with.
“That’s very fortunate. She has a lover who will protect her all night.”
As Eden snorted and turned his steps to head downstairs, Orhan was elated, thinking that his momentary wits had worked.
“A loved person… I think that’s me?”
As he murmured while going downstairs, a dark shadow fell over Eden’s eyes.
