“I finally get to see you. It’s been quite a while. Have you been well?”

“Yes. You seem to be the same as always, Ratte.”

He nodded like an innocent child, but I could sense tension in the air—the pressure he exuded was so intense that I struggled to resist the urge to back away.

“Sooo,” he drawled, “why did you try to lock me out just now?”

I’d gotten an inkling of it from his aura, but apparently, he didn’t fancy being shut out. Ratte was smiling, but I could tell he was...displeased. My brows lowered pitifully. “I’m sorry.”

“I wasn’t asking for an apology. I just wanted to know why you wanted to lock me outside.”

Apology rejected. I whimpered quietly. I don’t think he’ll forgive me unless I tell him the truth. It’s embarrassing to admit, but I’ve got no choice here.

I accepted my fate and opened my mouth. “I just thought...um, it wouldn’t be good to invite a man into my room in the middle of the night.”

Ratte’s eyes went wide. His expression seemed to ask, “What is this kid saying?”

I wanted to run away...but I kept going with my explanation. “I wasn’t thinking you’d do something strange or anything, okay?! I-I know I’m being overly self-conscious... But I thought it’d be best if I didn’t do anything to tarnish my name before I’m married, that’s all...” My voice trailed off weakly at the end.

I want to dig a hole, a deep one, and jump in. Someone please bury me... I’m so ashamed. I covered my hot cheeks with my hands and I thought I might tear up pathetically. I am a master at making people misunderstand me.

“Princess, has no one ever told you you’re missing something up there?”

“There’s no need to rub it in...” I was probably red up to my ears by now. I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t look up at him.

“Well, you’re certainly an unpredictable one, but I mean that in a good way.” A low chuckle escaped from Ratte.

Is being overly self-conscious ever a positive thing? He’d been kind enough to console me, but I glared up at him reproachfully, taking my displeasure out on him. Ratte looked extremely amused and the strained mood completely dissipated.

“So, you didn’t think I came here to kill you?”

My eyes widened, which was all the answer he needed to see.

Seeming happy, Ratte’s eyes narrowed. “You truly are a funny one, Princess. The knight captain must be a happy man.”

“Huh?! Th-Th-Th-Th-That’s not true...” I stammered magnificently as I held my feverish cheeks. I’d become even more embarrassed, though this time, in a different sense. No one had even proposed to me...and here I was, acting like a maiden about to be married. Unfortunately, no one was around to shut me down for my unbecoming behavior.

“I’m working hard to protect you, so please include me in your trousseau, okay?” he whispered into my ear.

I didn’t process his words immediately. My...trousseau? You want me to include a handsome young man in my dowry? Uh, isn’t that a bit too novel?

Before I could retort, Ratte turned around.
