The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

Princess eats cake.

“······Come on in.”

I heard the gentle voice of a princess who allowed me to enter the room.

I carefully opened the door to avoid making a loud noise.

And Rebecca’s room spread out before her eyes.

The overall red color of the room was enough to infer the owner of the room just by looking at the appearance of the room.

“····.”

Princess Rebecca, the owner of the room, was sitting on the bed, staring at me as I entered.

Seeing Rebecca staring at me like that gave me the feeling of rekindling the guilt I had been feeling.

Even if there were traces of crying earlier, the princess’s face was still remembered.

I felt deeply responsible for the mistakes I had made.

“Sit there.”

“Thank you. Princess.”

Fortunately, Rebecca asked me to sit in a chair facing the bed instead of kicking me out.

I faithfully followed it.

The princess who wants to fight or whatever, because now I am a sinner.

To ring someone who promised to marry you. If this place was real and not in a novel, it would have been a sin to be buried as it is.

“So, what did you come here for?”

Perhaps it was frustrating that I came in, sat down and didn’t say anything, so Rebecca opened her mouth first.

To that, I replied with the most submissiveness and with the most sorry expression.

“I’m here to apologize for what happened at the restaurant earlier.”

“What happened before?”

“····.”

When I said that I had come to apologize, Rebecca immediately said that she had forgotten what had happened.

The expression he was making was that he couldn’t remember at all, even though he had cried because of it.

As I looked at it, serious questions began to arise in my mind.

‘…was it acting?’

I wonder if the tears I shed earlier were acting to direct this situation.

Even Rebecca’s lips were slightly raised as if the current situation was enjoyable.

It must have been that he was crying because he was genuinely sad.

Seeing the corners of his mouth twitching and smiling like that now, I was reasonably suspicious.

But, as I said before, I was the one who was guilty in the current situation. It was best to give Rebecca the answer she wanted.

“·················· I did not notice that the princess was upset, and I acted without notice.”

“and?”

“I made tears flow from the eyes of the princess who is like heaven.”

“You know it well.”

I felt a deep sense of defeat when I said that I was reflecting on Rebecca, who was smiling happily as if she liked it very much.

“I am deeply reflecting.”

After all, it was me who made Rebecca cry. I couldn’t help it.

“If you’re so remorseful… Shall I forgive you?”

“······please.”

“Hmm…”

Princess Rebecca, who seems to be forgiven or not, begins to flirt.

I feel like I’m already relieved when I see myself apologizing.

How resentful you were for losing to me yesterday, how could you not forgive me easily?

‘·······I made fun of you too badly.’

At this point, I wondered if I had overdosed on the drug yesterday.

Since Rebecca was still in trouble, I decided to bring out what I had prepared to appease Rebecca.

“······what is that?”

While contemplating whether or not to forgive me, I wondered what I was bringing out, and Rebecca wanted to bow her head slightly forward to see what I was bringing out.

“It’s nothing.”

“····.”

But I also wanted to maximize Rebecca’s surprise when she found out what it was, so I didn’t have to put it into words.

Since I didn’t explain it in words, Rebecca also stayed still and waited until I got it all out.

Finally, what I have prepared for you will be revealed.

Rebecca said in a small whisper.

“Is it a cake…?”

“Yes.”

What I prepared for Rebecca was a cake.

It’s also a refreshing strawberry cake with lots of strawberries.

***

Let’s list the characteristics of the character Rebecca Valencia in [The Prince Raises a Sword].

She is very pretty, her pride and desire to win is very strong, she has no frills. there was a degree

But in addition to these three characteristics, there was one more characteristic that left a deep impression on me as a reader.

“That red thing in the cake… is it a strawberry?”

“As the princess saw, it’s a strawberry.”

Strawberry is my favorite thing in the world.

To say this is a unique feature is a bit absurd. Because everyone has at least one favorite food.

The only food Princess Rebecca likes is strawberries, but it was difficult to see this as anything special.

What was unusual was the worldview of this novel.

‘A world where cooking and eating fruits does not exist.’

In [The Prince Holds a Sword], the concept of cooking and eating fruit did not exist.

Let’s take an apple as an example.

The characteristic of this novel is that the apples are simply sliced and eaten, but not made into other dishes such as apple juice or apple pie.

Of course, the fruit in this novel was a rather precious crop, unlike reality.

It was not so rare that even the nobles had a hard time buying it.

Still, the only way to eat fruit was to simply wash it and eat it. It was a setting that made me wonder what the author was thinking when he wrote the novel.

“You put… strawberries on the cake…?”

But thanks to such a setting, now Rebecca is looking at me curiously.

It was a natural fact that the setting the author made without thinking should be used by anyone possessed by the novel.

“I thought that a cake with sweet whipped cream and strawberries with a sour taste would go well together, so I made this.”

“You made it yourself?”

Princess Rebecca once again expressed her surprise that I had made that cake.

I can’t hide my surprise at that sparkling gaze.

I had to feel remorse for a moment.

Because all I actually did was plated strawberries on a whipped cream cake made by the chef of the Duke of Valencia.

‘······The chef also praised it as an amazing idea, so it doesn’t matter.’

Thinking of the chef who looked at me with a genuine smile and looked great, I wanted to ask my conscience once again.

Thinking that I had given the chef a good recipe, I struggled with it.

“Eat it… is it okay?”

Rebecca, who had just laughed and pondered whether or not to forgive me, was now curious about the taste of that cake, so she was looking at her with a dazzling look as if she couldn’t stand it.

With that look, I was able to convince myself of the assumption I had only guessed before.

‘…’

Rebecca’s mood had been relieved for a long time, and she was just pretending not to be upset just to see my apologetic reaction.

So I just got horns.

I was preparing to apologize seriously, but the person in charge was full of thoughts of making fun of me.

Originally, that cake was made to make Rebecca feel better.

If Rebecca’s mood is already relieved, doesn’t it mean that I don’t have to give her that cake easily?

“It was made for the princess, so of course you can eat it.”

“Really? Then right away…”

It was Rebecca who immediately approached the strawberry cake with my permission to eat.

“However, there are conditions.”

“······· condition?”

When I said that there was a condition, I put on a gloomy expression on my face.

Pretty satisfied with that disappointed expression, I declared to Rebecca.

“If you want to eat cake, you have to eat only what I give you.”

“····.”

The only way to eat strawberry cake is to feed it by myself.

Hearing this, Rebecca made an absurd expression on her face.

It was Rebecca, who must have been thrilled at the thought of eating her favorite strawberry cake, the first cake she had just seen.

But suddenly, if you want to eat that, you can only eat it if you eat it like I did in the morning with soup. I’ll just do it anyway

It was, of course, an offer that Rebecca would reject.

However.

“Okay, please float and feed me.”

“If you don’t like it, I apologize for making fun of you earlier…. What did you say?”

There was nothing in the world for granted.

For a moment, I wondered if I heard it wrong.

But Rebecca’s two red eyes looking straight into my eyes were expressing that what she said wasn’t a lie.

“····.”

Even though it was the first thing I suggested, I couldn’t help but panic.

In fact, I didn’t even think that Rebecca would accept this and suggested it.

Rebecca, who made fun of me who was just thinking of a sincere apology, made such an absurd suggestion because I hated it.

If Rebecca bends her pride and asks for it, she will pretend that she can’t win.

As I said before, that cake was originally made for Rebecca.

But I never thought that I would accept this ridiculous offer that I could only eat by floating.

“What are you doing? They say you feed them.”

“·······Yes? Yes.”

Rebecca even urged me to feed her quickly when I couldn’t do anything because she was embarrassed by my unexpected answer.

I took out the spoon I had prepared as it was, still in a state of shock.

Then, I put the cake on a spoon so that the strawberries that were cut into small pieces were placed on it.

I approached Rebecca with her lips slightly open.

The distance is getting closer, and you can even hear each other’s small breaths.

Rebecca was nodding her head as if asking for a quick feed, and I gave her strawberry cake as if possessed.

Light pink lips and slightly red cheeks as they grumble and eat cake.

Let’s confirm that there is only me in Princess Rebecca’s bright red eyes.

Hwaak-

he got up on the spot.

“Please excuse me first.”

“····.”

Rebecca did not catch me even though it was a rude situation in which the subordinate got up first, and I left Princess Rebecca’s room as if being chased.

throb-

My heart was beating as fast as if I had a fatal disease.

“…why are you doing this?”

I tried to ask myself a question about the current situation that I did not understand.

Only my face that was about to explode and my heart that was beating fast without rest remains. No one answered the question.

***

Albert left, and only Rebecca was left in the room.

throb-

In a room where only the heartbeat of someone’s heart is ringing.

“…we won.”

Rebecca was quietly eating a cake and celebrating her first victory.

Without realizing that the degree of blushing on her face and the speed of her heart beating were so much worse that she was practically lost.
