A day had passed since I’d shown weakness—something so rare for me that I could count the times I’d succumbed on one hand—in front of Nika. Thanks to my new friend Nana, my new private guardian angel, I’d made a full recovery. Reenergized, I threw myself into my work at the bakery. I was ecstatic when Michelle praised the beautiful golden glow my recent batch of loaves possessed.

The next day, Nana came into the bakery to buy some bread. To my delight, we had a great conversation about our favorite varieties. The day after that, I managed to buy some fruit on sale from the greengrocer, who was in high spirits and willing to share the cheer with lower prices.

For a whole week, I had nothing but good days. I couldn’t believe my luck...and I couldn’t help but feel like it was about to run out. When things take a sudden turn for the better, it’s only natural to wonder how long that’ll last.

Still...what happened next seemed a little bit like overkill, if you ask me.

I was on my way home from work when I noticed two familiar characters walking the other direction—two guys with absolutely no reason to be here. They were a pretty unmistakable combo, since one had red hair and the other navy. But since I first spotted them from a distance in the dim glow of the town’s spare streetlights, I was convinced that I was just imagining things. For a moment, my mind went blank.

I’d accounted for a lot of “surprise meetings,” but this one was wholly out of the blue. Unfortunately, the closer they got, the less I could cling to my denial. And instead of switching into crisis management mode, I panicked. I seriously considered pretending I didn’t know them and rushing past as quickly as possible, but...

“Well, look who it is! Check it out, Zero. Looks like our dirt was legit: little Lady Rose is wearin’ rags now!”

“So it seems, Prince Nolan. It’s good to know we weren’t fed a false bill of goods.”

It seemed I wasn’t getting out of this so easily.

But that was to be expected. The moment I saw them on foot instead of in a carriage, I knew this little “surprise meeting” was no coincidence.

I reluctantly looked over at them. First I locked eyes with Nolan. His gray eyes had a notable slant; they narrowed and crinkled at the corners, as if he were smiling. A sliver of the white of his eyes shone around his irises. Then I made eye contact with Zero past his glasses. His heavily lidded eyes were deep blue, with a penetrating glint that suggested nothing escaped his notice.

At this point, I still hadn’t pinpointed what exactly they wanted with me.

“My...if it isn’t Prince Nolan and his trusted aide, Lord Zero. To what do I owe the honor of a visit from two men of such prestige from the kingdom next door?”

Nolan laughed. “Ain’t it obvious? We snuck out for a bit of fun.
