Things Set In Motion

On the day of the birthday party, I wore the dress, shoes, and jewelry that Lord Phillip gifted me. He came right on time to pick me up and I went out to greet him.

“You’re beautiful,” he said when he saw me. Oddly enough, he also added, “Thank you.”

He’d often come to pick me up for parties in the past, but this was the first time that he said something like this. I wasn’t sure how to act in the face of such uncharacteristic behavior, and I felt oddly embarrassed by it all too. I thanked him as well and took the hand he offered me before I hopped into the carriage with him.

We reached the palace and entered the ballroom where the party was held. I immediately felt the piercing gazes of the guests, and the weight of their curiosity was heavy on my shoulders. Even worse, quite a number of people looked up and down my entire body, clearly trying to observe something from it. It was probably as Lord Cedric said, and they were searching for the injuries that I was rumored to have suffered.

“Viola, are you all right?”

I felt terribly uncomfortable at all the attention, and then Lord Phillip called out to me in a kind voice. Strangely enough, hearing him ask about me made my heart feel lighter.

“Yes, I’m fine. Thank you.”

Upon hearing my reply, his face softened in a gentle smile. Together, we congratulated the prince on his birthday and did the bare minimum of greetings to the other nobles. Then, we met up with Rex, who was surrounded by a large number of women. He said something ridiculous about how if there were two of him, then we could achieve world peace, so I ignored him.

As we conversed, I heard someone say from behind me, “Oh? If it isn’t Lady Viola. Long time no see.”

I didn’t even have to turn around. I knew exactly who it was from the voice.

“I heard that you got in an accident, but you look plenty healthy,” the woman behind me continued with a soft huff of laughter.

She was Lady Natalia, daughter of Marquess Hackman. Ever since we were children, she had a crush on Lord Phillip, which was why she was particularly harsh towards me. As well, she’d told me in the past about how nothing about me made me a fitting match for Lord Phillip.

I stood silently, feigning confusion. This was an act that Rex himself had taught me. Then, after a few moments, Lady Natalia started to look a little worried and she said, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Does it hurt somewhere?”

That was right. Lady Natalia wasn’t a bad person at heart.

“I’m sorry. As a result of my accident, I lost my memories...”

“Huh? You must be joking.”

“It’s true. I don’t remember a single thing.” I said, in the saddest tone I could muster.

She blinked several times, her long lashes fluttering, and then she glared at me. “I see... I know what you’re trying to do.
