The Princess’ Bedroom Doll

/p>

Because it was clearly shown on her body.The seemingly cowering Princess was actually a hidden beast.

 

“Princess?”

 

At that moment, a familiar servant suddenly entered.

 

Seeing the servant, the maids rushed to Raha.

 

“I’m running late.”

Raha immediately took off the heavy ruby earrings on her ears and walked to the bathroom.
The maids hurried to follow.

 

Today was the New Year’s banquet, so the attendants put a great deal of effort into dressing her up.
The long hair was artfully braided, and the net-like headdress, was covered with at least 50 diamonds, was so complex that it took two maids to remove it.

 

Raha blinked quietly while the servants stripped herself off.
Perhaps because of the sheer scale of the event, the New Year’s banquet was much more exhausting than the other banquets.

 

It lasted three days, and she had to show up tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

 

But it was unfortunate that she only had to attend for a short while tomorrow night.
But the day after tomorrow she had to attend all day again……

 

‘I have to dance again.’

 

The nobles of the Empire did not dance well with the Princess because they were conscious of Karzen.

 

She would have been grateful for a situation in which she had to look out for the interests of those in power, because she hoped that no one would have known about the subtle possessiveness that Karzen showed toward herself.

 

However, many delegations attending the New Year’s party always tried to dance with the royal family as a courtesy to the visitors.
And Raha, of all people, was the only female member of the royal family in this huge empire.

 

More precisely, the only member of the royal family who could show up at social functions.

 

She really had to do a lot of dancing today.
So her ears were very sore, more than in other places.
She had to wear a pair of earrings made of pure gold with big rubies dangling from them, and at the end she felt like her earlobes were ripped open.

 

“Please return those earrings to the main palace tomorrow immediately.”

 

“Yes, Your Imperial Highness.
I will send them immediately.”

 

Karzen sent another set of jewelry today.
Wasn’t he aware that Raha had to dance all day today? Couldn’t he think of something more delicate because he was a man who always killed people?

 

How many times did they already have this New Year’s banquet that he did not know such large earrings could kill people?

 

Perhaps it was because her ears were sore, but the anger that she normally suppressed raised to the end of her throat.

 

 “You’ll be alright if you put this on, Princess.”

 

Raha sat in the tub with a cold hand towel over her aching ears.
How many people did she dance today? 30? 40?

 

Raha remembered Shed for a moment when the maids brushed her hair down.
But she was going to sleep in her inner palace tonight.
The thought of him whom she hadn’t seen for a long time made her feel relieved slowly.
The scent of bath salts in the bathtub was sweet.

 

“…….”

 

Raha slowly closed her eyes and eventually fell asleep.
Then she opened her eyes in astonishment.
She was still in the tub.
The water was as hot as the first soak, but if Raha continued to sleep in the tub, the maids might have continued to mix the water.

“What time is it?”

 

“It hasn’t been long.”

 

“Really……?”

 

“Yes, Your Royal Highness.
I will wipe you down right away.”

 

“Okay……”

 

It was fortunate.
The tension was released from her tense body.
Her body was dried and her hair was brushed.
With her half-dried hair, she put a thick shawl over her head and headed for the inner palace.

 

Not too late, the attendants said, but it was already well past midnight, because when she came back down the banquet it was already late. 

 

It would be nice to sleep in, or just look at Shed’s face if he was asleep.

 

Still, Raha hoped that he would be awake.

 

With that thought, she walked down the long corridor of the inner palace a little faster.
However, she thought she would wake Shed, so she stopped running and started walking slowly.

 

She opened the door and entered, calming her breathing.
The fire was almost out and only two round crystal lights illuminate the window.

 

As she approached, she felt a slight breeze of cold wind at the window.

 

A familiar back figure was seen near that cool spot, staring out the window.
Snowflakes were falling incessantly through the windowpane.
The silver hair shone in the faint light and Raha’s was drawn to the figure helplessly.

 

It was not her intention.
Shed slowly turned his head toward her as Raha gazed at the back of his head in a daze.

 

“…….”

 

Shed’s blue-gray eyes shook faintly.
Strangely, Raha choked for a moment.
She herself could not explain or guess why, immediately.
Perhaps it was because she was running earlier.

 

But it was Shed who was faster to call her name.

 

“Raha?”

 

Raha looked up at the large man who came up to her at an amazing speed.

 

Shed looked a little puzzled, and then reached out to her cheek.

 

“…you’re frozen.”
