From that day on, Betty always came along with me and Cody whenever we had tea. As long as Cody agrees, I’m not allowed to disagree.
I watched them talk happily.
Cody’s escort worried about the situation of the three of us. His brows wrinkle everytime Betty tries to touch Cody.
◇◇◇
“Your Highness.”
Another day, another time to have tea with Prince Cody. I had a little trouble with Betty so I couldn’t meet Cody immediately. I had to keep him waiting for a while.
The maids guided Cody to the garden. I hurried to walk towards the garden when I suddenly heard him talking to his escort, which made me stop in my tracks.

Something snapped inside my head. At the same time, something in my heart cracked.
“So, you mean to say that I despise my sister, and that I mistreat her for having the blood of a commoner?”
Both Cody and his escort turned their heads in surprise when they suddenly heard someone else’s voice. Cody looked away when he saw me.
“Does Your Highness think that I’m bullying my sister? Do you believe in her words more than mine?”
I wonder if he realized that I’m now defying his words by not calling him by first name and calling him as His Highness instead.
I’m sure he doesn’t even notice.
“Well, you see, we’ve only just met. Both you and Betty.”
“And yet you believe in her.”
“No!”
“No? But your past actions tell me that you don’t trust me. Even if you tell me now that you do, no—I think you should think back on your actions first.”
My vision blurred.
Don’t cry. It would be too embarrassing if you cry here. Don’t cry. Don’t make yourself look more miserable than you already are. Don’t cry.
“People’s minds are always bound to change. Trust whomever you like. I have no power to change your mind. Then, if you’ll excuse me. I’m not feeling well today.”
Cody didn’t stop me from walking away. I heard him weakly call my name but I didn’t turn around.
“Cody-sama.”
Betty walked past me. She had a smile etched on her face.
“Cody-sama, what happened?”
I caught a glimpse of their figures. Betty rushed over to Cody and leaned in close to him, showing her concern.
I shouldn’t cry. I shouldn’t feel hurt. We just met. We don’t know each other well yet.
What a relief, right? We only just met. I don’t have a reason to cry.
“Cody-sama, did you have a fight with Onee-sama? Now you see how terrible she is! Cody-sama, let me comfort you.”
I don’t know how Cody answered her. I walked away, as if I had already closed my ears and my mind.
I was so damn miserable.

Eventhough they just met, it still hurts when to be misunderstood by someone. She is still just a child. She doesn’t have the tough mentality to not care that many other Main Characters have.I don’t even know if that sort of mentlity coud gained by just anyone.Well, I feel like even if you convince yourself to not care, it still leaves a bad taste in the mouth.She also has no one to guide her. It’s good that her foundation didn’t go bad.It might be because he was already 5 years old so her view should have solidify by then.
