WHCTC Chapter 20
I could finally understand the meaning behind what he said just before my regression. Right now, Kayan was only a viscount in name—he didn’t know a thing. There was no one to teach him, only people eager to deceive and mock him. ‘Even in our past life, he was often looked down on, wasn’t he?’ But seeing this state in person, rather than vaguely guessing from within the princess’s palace, made my chest feel even heavier. It already seemed like he had fallen victim to a grand real…-

“Just keep going straight, then take a right.” I stared, wide-eyed. Kayan was sitting beside Hans, giving him directions. Well, I suppose Kayan had been to the capital once before, about a year ago, because of me… Hans, on the other hand, was likely new to the city, so it made sense that Kayan would know the layout better. ‘…But still, what is this situation?’ Even for someone with a lack of experience, this was beyond the pale. ‘Who would even call this a baronial…-

As soon as Saquar disappeared, Kayan looked at me as if nothing had happened and asked, “Is he a relative you’re close with?” “Ah, no,” I replied, tilting my head. “This is the first time I’ve had an actual conversation with him. He’s just always been like that.” What does Saquar Tayen do, you ask? The answer is… absolutely nothing. “Saquar? Don’t worry about him. When the Emperor asks him anything, he just mumbles irrelevant nonsense. During meetings, he’s so…-

When he was in the North, Kayan would always leave a few buttons undone, no matter how cold it was. He would wear his tie or cravat loosely, complaining about feeling stifled, and he often rolled up his shirt sleeves. But now, Kayan had buttoned his shirt all the way to the neck, with his cravat neatly tied. From his stiff tone, polite speech, and attire to his posture, everything about him seemed like he was a completely different person. “Don’t act so uncomfortable in front of me. I know you…-

3 - Baron Barcklith's Manor I smiled to myself with a sense of satisfaction. Though it was technically a punishment, it came with its perks: I couldn’t bring maids or escorts, only a single handmaid. ‘If I just said I was visiting, I’d have to bring along a parade of watchers, but now I can shake them all off!’ Moreover, it was by the emperor's order. Neither Edwin, Simon, nor anyone else could stop me. With only one handmaid accompanying me, I stood before Kayan, who was waiting by…-

‘Makes sense.’ Perhaps it was because they were meeting for the first time in a year, but there was something subtly different about her. ‘She did seem somewhat subdued.’ Unlike her time in the north, something felt… off about her. Even as a child, Ivnoa had always worn a gentle smile, never losing her composure. But there were rare moments when her gaze turned chilling. During those moments, even Kayan couldn’t help but flinch at the overwhelming intensity she exuded. Among the…-

Kayan silently stared at my outstretched pinky. Then, in a low voice, he spoke. “Princess, you cannot leave the palace without your fiancé’s permission. How exactly do you plan to come out?” He sighed. After glancing up at my expression, he visibly flinched. “Why are you smiling like that again?” “Like what?” “You’re smiling so smugly... it’s unsettling.” “Because you’re finally talking to me?” I curved my eyes into a gentle smile and took a step closer…-

I stared at him intently. The image of him constantly protecting me lingered in my mind. I was so glad to see him, yet I felt guilty since we had already severed ties. A flood of emotions overwhelmed me, and now that it was just the two of us, I found myself unable to speak. Kayan furrowed his brows slightly and asked in a low voice, “...Even if this is within the Imperial Palace, where is your escort? Why are you here alone?” “I just... ran away.” I smiled bashfully as I stood…-

After seeing off the emperor, not long after, I received a letter from Simon. It said he would enter the palace around 5 PM and suggested we visit Grandfather together. ‘So, the comment I let slip earlier to the maid about visiting the emperor this evening got back to him.’ Every little thing I did was being reported to Simon. This reaffirmed the direction of the plans I initially set. No matter how dangerous it was, I had to leave the palace. "Let him know I’ll…-

I immediately got up and prostrated myself next to my maid. "Your Highness?" "Ivnoa!" Naturally, both the maid and the Emperor were shocked. Trembling, I spoke. "I’m so sorry, Your Majesty. I failed to train my personal maid properly. I truly apologize." The Emperor, clearly taken aback, grimaced and spoke. "Ivnoa, can you stand up at once? My goodness, this is absurd. I have no idea what you’re doing, putting on a display like this out of the blue. You’re going to hurt your…-
