The next day, my fever had fully subsided, but I stayed in recovery mode in case whatever had afflicted me was contagious. We couldn’t have it spreading to Princess Griselda or the siren duke.

I called Nico, Rico, and Coco and asked them to make candied violets with Princess Griselda. I’d wanted to take care of it personally since I was the one who had suggested it, but the situation left me with no choice but to let them fulfill the promise in my place.

Alexandrine stayed with me instead of going to the fowl knights’ station, perhaps because she was worried about me. Between her quacking and Wibble’s conversation-making, I wasn’t lacking in company.

My appetite seemed to have returned—I was able to finish the oatmeal porridge the head chef had made for me. I was feeling much better now. After lunch, Rico brought me a lovely bouquet of bluebells, saying that it was from Princess Griselda, who had picked the flowers herself during her stroll through the garden. Looking at the beautiful purple blooms soothed my heart. I had them displayed on the round table at my bedside, and I wrote a thank-you card, which I asked Rico to deliver.

From what I’d heard, Princess Griselda had a fulfilling day. She had made candied violets with the triplets as planned, and Gabriel had taken her to see the workshop and stores, where she had bought souvenirs for the queen. They had also gone for a walk around the village.

I thought it’d be a romance novel, but it turned out to be an action-packed adventure story. It was surprisingly engrossing, and I finished it in one sitting. I’d have to ask my mother-in-law what she thought about it later.

In the evening, I took a bath and lay down on my freshly replaced sheets. Perhaps because I’d been so busy as of late, the day had felt like a nice vacation.

I’d taken a nap in the afternoon, so I didn’t think I’d be able to fall asleep anytime soon. As I was considering borrowing another book from my mother-in-law, the siren duke paid me a visit.

“How are you feeling?” she asked.

“Better now. I should be able to send you off tomorrow.”

“You shouldn’t push yourself too hard.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

The siren duke and Princess Griselda were returning to the capital tomorrow morning. They had only planned to stay for a short time to begin with.

“Um, Your Grace...”

“Yes?”

“You said you wanted to talk to me about something, didn’t you?” I was worried that she might ask me to break off my engagement to Gabriel.

The siren duke suddenly made an awkward expression. “No, Gabriel told me to leave it for later.”

So it did involve Gabriel. Depression weighed on me like a lead ball on my chest. But before I could
