Last night, I went to bed without saying anything to Edgar. Though it has become a routine for me to visit him every morning at breakfast and night before going to bed. You might know something's wrong with me. Tumben once he took me for a walk in the park.
"Viona said it won't be long. And she's worried she won't be able to see me often when she's Crown Prince Nathan's wife."
He stopped walking, picked up an apple growing on the tree and gave it to me. "You guys are that close?"
I'm nodding.
"Don't trust him completely. You don't know what a loyal dog can do when it's depressed."
I walked next to him, biting at the apple he had given me. "I understand, papa. I'll always be careful."
"So what's been bothering you last night?"
I shake my hand. "I'm just sleepy, papa. Not a big deal."
"You're thinking of marrying someone?"
I frowned. "Why would you think that?"
"The color of you and the Crown Prince of Alasca Kingdom seems so close. You guys have a special relationship?"
I'm shaking. "No. We're just friends, no special relationship."
"So it seems" Edgar replied as he sat on a bench not far from us.
I was sitting next to him. "How can you survive when all the creatures around you look suspicious?"
He frowned. "Why are you asking that?"
He touched my head, rubbed it gently. "Think of everything with your brain. Who benefits the most in case of a problem, who is closest to you so that others feel jealous, what you just got so that others feel jealous. And don't even involve your feelings in it."

What Edgar said made me realize something. The most fortunate demon when I was humiliated, the one that later looked suspicious, that had the most reasonable reason, was none other than Aluna.
It's still to be expected, but the fact is Prince Ryan likes me. I'm sensitive to his feelings. He gave me a clear code several times. Maybe Aluna noticed it and tried to frame me to embarrass me and Ryan didn't like me anymore. Makes sense, doesn't it?
This was reinforced by the fact that Alicia almost embarrassed me by pulling me into the middle of the dance hall. He knew I was not good at dancing. I also have no partner. If Reon hadn't moved fast, I would have lost face.
Natasha? What did he get after humiliating me among so many people? He was busy trying to become the leader of the kingdom. I always supported him, too. He must think of me as important too. How not? I have quite a strong influence in the future. He needs me.
The cornella? He couldn't have thought I was taking Arthur from him. I even forgot when was the last time I had a conversation with Arthur.
And Viona? Nathan and I never even chatted at all. He accepted me in his palace with pleasure when my father was at war. What should I suspect of him?
"Mr Princess, your forehead is wrinkled. What are you thinking?"
I shook my head briefly. "Just think what gift should I give Princess Viona on her wedding day."
Selena Ivanov. Although the possibility of him betraying is very small, but the small possibility will be a threat if I ignore it.
"What if the Princess gives Princess Viona a fragrance or bath scrub? The Princess is very smart at concocting things."
"Hmm.can also."
