Rumors circulating in the palace were unusual. Malicious interpretation of the rumor spawned another rumor, and no one raised a question about it.Starting with a rumor that the princess is dying, rumors that she’s about to kill herself and even rumors that the emperor eventually abandoned the princess to wounds that shouldn’t be spoken in the first place.However, such rumors did not reach the Princess‘ Palace. It was because the servants working there now were different from before. Before they knew it, the princess had permeated their hearts and had become a decent master.No, that wasn’t all. Today, on the day of the cleaning, the princess, who sat by the window, suddenly opened her mouth: “I think I’m a really happy person.”Leticia smiled gracefully at the sky. Her mumbling made the servants at her palace shut their mouths and the glanced at each other. They had heard the recent rumors spreading about the princess secretly and feared it would reach their masters ear and hurt her.As the wind blew against her hair gently, her hair, which was shining under the moonlight, covered the princess’ cheek. The princess gathered her hair with her hands and gathered it over one shoulder. Her hair, which was loosely braided and left untied, had become a mess.The face of the princess, who seems to be deep in thoughts, was clearly revealed. Her beautiful purple eyes were dreamy.

She didn’t know that her expressions and words make the listeners’ hearts flutter.‚Oh, my… What should we do? Our princess…‘‚You have been working so hard, but why did you become like this?‘In the past, the servants had no special affection for the princess whom they served. However, seeing the princess, who always had a straight face and an elegant but cold air around her, change and create such a sentimental atmosphere, their hearts were getting shattered for no reason.After the servants were filtered out once, the people remaining in the Princess‘ Palace had a slight sense of debt. It is a sense of debt that even though they have been watching from the side, they were swept away by the unfair rumors about the princess. As they began to open their hearts to the princess for various reasons, they were at a loss and looked at the princess with sad eyes.Now they know that the princess is different from the rumors. But she had become a person likely to leave at any moment.It was then. Suddenly the princess looked at them and opened her mouth: “It would be nice to leave something behind if possible. “
