As she was arranging his clothes, she looked at the back of the bleeding boy’s hand and forearm and said,
“What is this plant?” The maid, who was arranging the boy’s trousers, looked at the grass attached to his ankle like a leech and asked, the boy began to recite exactly what he had heard from Lucy with a hesitant face.
“This is the plant of Mogana, if you pound it like this and put it on the itchy spot…….”
But the maid, listening to him, took the grass off his ankle and threw it on the floor.
“Now, come on in, young master, if you stay here, your allergy will get worse.”
The maid did not even look at Lucy, who was standing nearby, and tried to leave the lake with only the boy.
The boy grumbled something with a bothered and annoyed look. But he was drawn into the strong maid’s hand.
The boy, who was leaving the lake, suddenly turned his head. The boy’s lake-like eyes met Lucy’s emerald-like eyes in the air.
Then he moved his lips and said,
“Good-bye,”
“Yeah, good-bye,”
Lucy raised her hand awkwardly.
The boy was seized by the maid’s hand and left the lake with an indifferent look.
Lucy, who stood still under the oak for a moment, shook her head and came to her senses.
“It’s been too long,”
Mrs. Triana might be worried. Lucy hurried through the garden and back to the luncheon.
She heard familiar voices. The luncheon is nearby. The servants, seen over the fence, were eagerly carrying food, and the maids were busy preparing desserts not far away.
She heard the maids carrying desserts whispering.
“…they said they had found Prince Berg. He must have been alone in the garden again.”
“Why does he keep going into the garden when he has an allergy?”
Prince of Berg
Lucy, who had been eavesdropping on the maid’s story, murmured to herself.
So, that kid is Prince Berg. The duke’s son.
She had never seen anyone that has a status as high as the duke. Of course, it’s the same with the son of the duke.
A person like a duke was a man who Lucy would never meet in her life. This is because they will never come to a rural village like Brom to help the emperor run state affairs while living in the capital.
So, it was a very rare chance to run into the duke’s son in the garden where she came in by chance today.
When Lucy realized it, she opened her eyes wide and shouted,
“Wow! I’ve met the duke’s son!”
Lucy realized once again that she had come to the capital.
The duke’s son has such brilliant blond hair and blue eyes. Besides, the clothes he wore looked really good! And I’m sure he only eats delicious food at this nice house every day, right?
Lucy, who was thinking of the boy one by one, immediately pouted her mouth. She remembered the rude words she had said to him.
Well, the Duke’s son doesn’t have much to offer. He’s as bad as Brom’s immature boys.
If you are the duke’s son, aren’t you supposed to speak softly and politely?
Telling people that they smell like horse dung!
Lucy grumbled herself out of the garden.
Soon she saw the ladies talking in elegant voices.
Not surprisingly, the luncheon was going well in a friendly atmosphere. Mrs. Triana’s cheeks were slightly red, perhaps because she was drunk with wine.
Lucy returned to her side and sat down.
“Oh, Lucy!”
She looked at Lucy and said,
“How was the garden?”
“It was beautiful! There were many flowers I had never seen before.”
“I knew you’d like it!”
Mrs. Triana smiled with satisfaction.
Soon her interest in the little girl who had returned from her garden expedition quickly shifted away. She continued to talk to other ladies with a slightly tipsy face.
Lucy has now completely given up the idea of getting acquainted with people at this meeting.
It was enough for her to have met the boy and had a memorable conversation. Now Lucy decided to devote herself generously to the food waiting for her on the table, not to people.
After she made up her mind that she could see the cakes and snacks that the servants brought.
“Wow!”
She thought of the boy for a while. Her eyes widened when she saw the desserts on the table. She reached for the nearest snack without hesitation.
“If you don’t eat such delicious food, it’s your loss.”
Lucy murmured casually, recalling the boy.
But why was he crouching there with that look on his face?
Lucy, who was unconsciously thinking about the boy, shook her head again.
She took a big bite out of the snack she picked up.
We’ll never see each other again anyway.
The thought of the prince gradually faded while the rich sweetness she had tasted for the first time in her life melted in her mouth.
* * *
Her days in the capital left a deep impression on Lucy.
Mrs. Triana’s statement that one trip could change a person’s life was true. Lucy thought she had changed completely.
In fact, on the surface, her life didn’t seem to change at all.
She got up early as usual to help her grandmother trim the herbs. She helped her mother prepare food for her family and kicked out the cat sneaking into the yard.
It was the daily routine of an ordinary country girl.

But if you look carefully, there was a surprisingly wide world in her heart.
Even after returning from a trip to the capital, Lucy often recalled brilliant streets and tall buildings.
The imperial palace was more majestic and magnificent than any other place. The night streets of the capital, where the lights never seemed to go out. a vibrant market
Lucy often missed the glorious and tumultuous appearance of the capital.
