We soon arrived at the place where we’d be spending the night: not an inn or a hotel, but the residence of the lord in charge of this area.

The old, round-faced nobleman there welcomed us with a warm smile. From what I’d heard, he’d once been our grandfather’s personal attendant. Alexei stopped by his residence whenever he was in need of a place to stay in the area, and he assured me I could rest easy here.

I was shown to a cozy—albeit smaller than I was used to—room and started relaxing. I spent some time admiring the gorgeous embroidery on the bedcover before enjoying a cup of the unusual herb tea the lord’s wife had brewed for me.

As I looked outside the window, I noticed that people had gathered in the streets surrounding the residence. I opened the window and waved at the people with a smile, but was surprised when they cheered for me.

I’m gonna blush! I almost felt like a princess. My mind then wandered to the prince, who must’ve dealt with similar things his entire life. Bet it’s tough sometimes. I should tell him “good job” the next time I see him... No, wait! Flora should be the one to praise him, not the villainess! I can’t risk raising a flag!

Lingering in the open window, I waved at the crowd for a while. It was getting late, with the sun starting to set, but there seemed to be more and more people outside. I’d just bent forward to take a better look when a voice surprised from behind.

“Ekaterina.”

“Brother!” I exclaimed, turning around.

Alexei stepped into my room and joined me in front of the window.

“You must be tired,” he said. “Don’t overwork yourself. I shouldn’t depend on you for these things when you’re so frail.”

“Don’t worry, brother. I’m genuinely having fun. It’s lovely that these people are cheering to welcome me.”

“I can see why they would. Your beauty deserves every cheer.”

“Oh, brother!”

I see the usual Ekaterina-filter is in overdrive!

“If anything, you shouldn’t push yourself too much,” I continued. “I know waving at the masses isn’t your cup of tea.”

“Well, I’m not generally well-liked by others,” Alexei replied. “And I was never good at putting on forced smiles. It might be because I’ve spent too much time thinking about how meaningless the goodwill and affection one can earn with superficial friendliness is. I suppose even my body rebelled against that prospect.”

I could easily imagine that the true target of his rebelliousness was our father, a worldly man whose only talent was just that—showering others with fake smiles and charm.

“Yet, today, I’ve finally realized something. With you by my side, smiling comes easy.”

“Brother...”

Alexei smiled softly and put an arm over my shoulder. At the motion, the crowd cheered louder than ever.

How shrill! I could hardly believe their enthusiasm.

We both waved in front of the open window for a while before Alexei spoke loudly.

“Thank you, everyone.” His voice was clear and carried well. “Your welcome delights us. But the hour is late, so I urge you to return home and dine.
