After a short while, May and Leah stepped in to help Estelle dress.

“My lady, it’s so...moving...to know you’ve climbed the final step to womanhood,” said Leah with deep emotion in her voice, making Estelle feel like burying her head in the sheets.

For some reason, May was giving her a slightly cold look instead.

All of this was just an act to make it look like Arcrayne was head over heels for Estelle, and yet it still made Estelle unbearably awkward.

“Looks like you’ll have to wear a dress with a closed neck today,” said Leah. “Good thing it’s winter.”

She was in good spirits. Leah had been furious about how things had ended between Estelle and Lyle as though it were about herself, and she must’ve been happy to see her mistress so easily smite a prince.

This prince is in a politically difficult spot... Estelle wanted to say, even though Leah should’ve already known as much.

Come afternoon, Arcrayne paid a visit to Estelle’s room.

“How are you feeling? If everything’s good, I’ll show you around the palace.”

May and Leah had been awfully mindful of her physical condition today. It made Estelle wonder if the first time was that taxing on the body. She’d heard it was painful, and the fact she’d eventually have to do it with Arcrayne made her uneasy.

I’m not opposed to the act itself... In fact, wouldn’t it even be an honor? His Highness is so handsome... thought Estelle, though she hadn’t forgotten about the big problems with him—namely, the fact that she had to deal with the royal family and the risk of assassinations.

As the daughter of nobles herself, she had a duty to marry into some family of note. Had Arcrayne not set his eyes on her, she would’ve no doubt had to give herself to a man of significantly lower status than the prince. She couldn’t call Arcrayne a good person, but for the most part he was gentlemanly with her, and most importantly, he was a prince. Estelle couldn’t think of a better marriage partner, provided his political position became secure in the future.

“What’s wrong, Estelle? Do you feel unwell?”

At Arcrayne’s words, Estelle suddenly came to her senses.

“I apologize; I was lost in thought. There is nothing wrong with me. I can go,” she replied in a fluster.
