I made a conscious effort not to frown as I put the cabbage into my mouth and swallowed it.
However, contrary to my expectations,
“Is it tasty?”
Oh my goodness.
My eyes widened.
I had no idea cabbages were this delicious until now.
The crunchy texture and various seasonings harmonize, making it more savory the more I chew it.
Damian poked my plump cheek with his finger.
“Hey, is it that delicious?”
“Crown Prince, you’re the one who handed it to me!”
Damian was even joking around with me and making fun of me.
I locked my gaze on Damian determinedly.
This is so unfair. He fed me himself!
My mouth is full right now, so I can’t say a word to him!
Damian, on the other hand, burst into laughter after wiping the sauce from my cheek with a handkerchief.
“……. You look like a squirrel.”
Oh my god, he kept teasing me…….
I narrowed my eyes.
At the same time, Damian raised the fork and stabbed it to the meat dish I craved for.
“As a reward for eating cabbage, I’ll give you a piece of meat.”
Why is Damian acting like this today?
Even though he’s a kid, why does he keep treating me like a baby?
I swallowed the cabbage in my mouth.
After a while, he placed the piece of meat in my mouth.
“By the way, why aren’t you eating, crown prince? You keep feeding me.”
After chewing and swallowing the meat, I asked Damian a question.
But he merely shrugged his shoulders and replied,
“I told you, I’ll take care of you today.”
“But…”
“I’ll eat on my own, so don’t worry about me.”
He dismissed my question and resumed feeding me.
Hmm, somehow I feel like I’m going to get indigestion because of this uncomfortable feeling.….
‘I’m a maid yet I’m being served by the crown prince.’
… It’s completely embarrassing!
Damian kept picking out foods to feed me, and I was completely hooked by the taste. After a while, I came to my senses and said what I had wanted to say before.
“I…crown prince, I’d be happy if you eat too.”
After eating for quite some time, only then I could resist the temptation of the food.
My belly, which had been stuffed with all kinds of food, was now completely stuffed.
Damian, on the other hand, paid no attention to what I was saying.
Instead, he frowned and cast a glance behind me.
“Your Highness?”
I tilted my head.
Hey, you have to answer when people call you!
After calling him, I could hear a cold voice.
“I just gave Charlize permission to visit the crown prince’s palace.”
… Hey, why does this voice sound familiar?
I looked back in surprise.
In an instant, my eyes widened.
“I never gave the crown prince permission to feed her.”
Because the person standing behind me was none other than the empress!
No, but why is the empress here?
The empress looked at Damian and the food spread out in front of us with a sullen expression.
Then her gaze shifted to me, her eyes were pitiful like a puppy abandoned by its owner…
Why did she look at me like that?!
“I’ve never even fed Charlize myself…”
Excuse me, why are you so disappointed?
I gazed at the empress, my face flushed with embarrassment.
But then,
“Is that so?”
Damian flashed a triumphant grin.
He proudly raised his shoulders and said to the empress.
“I’ve already fed Charlize pudding before.”
Is… is that something you can brag about?
Despite the absurd statement, I was more stunned seeing the empress’ expression.
As if the empress had suffered an unacceptable defeat, she glared at Damian with a resentful face.
After a while, the empress called him.
“Crown Prince.”
“Yes?”
“It’s a little early to be prideful just from feeding Charlize a few times.”
“… … What do you mean?”
There was a frown on Damian’s face.
Just what is this atmosphere?
The empress raised her chin while I was looking around aimlessly with a bewildered expression.
“Charlize and I have both slept in the same bed, with the same blanket on top.”
What? It’s something I’ve never heard of before.
What kind of maid would dare to sleep in the same bed as the empress?
But considering the empress’ feelings, I couldn’t dare to protest.
“And Charlize will be sharing my bed with me tonight.”
“Your Majesty…”
I opened my mouth quickly in order to avoid any misunderstandings.
