Chapter 74: [Bonus chapter] Chapter 18.5 - The dream and waking up

---***---

It was a few months before Miriette, Horeo, and Zoemi went to the Aspakeony Academy.

On a rainy day, the first prince couldn't visit or be visited because he was sick and lady Espine was in an awful mood.

She was being very picky with her food that day and even shouted at the maid who dropped the basket with dirty laundry when she was bowing to her.

Even Miriette's hair was more prickly than normal.

Zoemi tried talking with her but even his most gentle and considerate efforts were met with a cold shoulder.

"My lady, your servant is sorry for being so inconsiderate and unattentive, but could you tell me what is happening?"

"..."

Zoemi looked like a sad puppy and Miriette didn't want to shout at him even though she felt very agitated.

"You will see for yourself when you'll be helping with the laundry!"

She scoffed at him anyway and walked away.

This continued for the whole day.
