Today was the day of the imperial banquet.
As it was a royal banquet, I was naturally nervous about meeting Selena and Antonio.
"Herisha, would you mind relaxing?"
"I'm nervous, what the... You just have to act well so that you don't get caught."
"If not, then that's fortunate."
I entered the banquet hall with Wonwoo and had to face people muttering at us.
'Yeah, I expected this kind of attention.'
'I just have to do what I have to do.'
After dancing to the first song with Wonwoo, Wonwoo looked busy surrounded by a lot of people.
"I came all the way here, so I couldn't miss the cake."
I took advantage of the chaos and moved to a corner to enjoy a delicious cocktail and cake.

As I was enjoying the cake alone, Princess Stella came to see me.
"Princess Herisha."
"What brings Princess Stella here?"
"What the hell did you do to Wonwoo!"
"So, it was about Wonwoo. Princess Stella, he doesn't like you."
"Wh...what?!"
“I think it’s a bit rude of you to do this, but I would like you to stop caring about me and Wonwoo.”
"What?!! Is this real!!!"
'Match'
Princess Stella slapped me on the cheek.
The cocktail I had a little while ago was so strong that I ended up collapsing on the floor.
At that moment, Blancia Youngae and the group nearby came running in as if they were surprised and started to worry about me.
"Princess Herisha!! Are you alright?"
People's eyes were on me and I didn't miss the opportunity and started acting.
"Thank you for your concern, Blanche Youngae."
"More than that, Princess, there's blood on your hands..."
"I think I got hurt when I dropped the glass earlier, I'm really fine... ugh... but it hurts a little..."
"Princess Stella, apologize to Princess Herisha!!! What are you doing to her!!!"
"Lady Blancia, I'm really fine... I guess I offended Princess Stella for no reason..."
Oh, even I think it's disgusting..
Then Antonio and Selena came towards us.
"Herisha, are you okay? Let's go to the break room and get some treatment."
"It's okay.."
"Princess, your hand isn't feeling well. Why don't you just go instead of refusing?"
"Yes, then..."
As I was passing by Selena, led by Antonio's hand, I heard Selena's sharp words.
"You're a good actor. I'm looking forward to seeing you next time."

After arriving at the break room with Antonio, an awkward atmosphere hung in the room.
"How have you been?"
"Yes, and now that the treatment seems to be over, please let me go."
"It seems like the princess has changed a lot since that day."
"It's not something the Crown Prince should worry about."
"I guess the princess has forgotten, but we were engaged."
"That's how we were. But now I have someone I want to marry."
At that moment, the door opened wide and Wonwoo came in.
"Herisha, come out."
