บท 118: Chapter 32 - The thing about cookies (part 4)

Miriette shuddered at the thought.

There was no doubt that if Miriette would disgrace the royal family by running off with another man, a darkness magician no less, those bracelets would be used on her.

"...haa..."

Miriette sighed and sniffled.

|If only I wouldn't try to be all clever, Zoemi would try my good cookies and praise me! Right at the beginning!|

The dark-haired girl wanted to slap herself.

Seeing her like that, Horeo would have a good laugh - a cunning fox was so cunning that she tricked herself.

|I'm so awful, I even shoved that first cookie into his mouth so he wouldn't be able to taste it properly because there was no way that my cookies were as good as Patishi's...!|

Her shoulders were trembling and she stopped talking to herself.

Miriette didn't want to cry and she knew that if she opened her mouth now she would definitely start, so she kept silent.

"..."

Then, she straightened her back and nodded to herself.
