章節 45: Rabbit 2

Princess Isabel paled as she grabbed the attendant's arm for support.

They had been walking for hours without resting. Unlike other nobles, the Duke insisted that they walk on foot. Since it was the first time that the Duke talked to her, she immediately got excited and agreed to doing it, despite knowing that she would not be able to walk that far in her heavy dress.

Still, she persevered thinking that the Duke would help her out.

She was wrong.

The Duke must have purposely done something like this to embarrass her or to try and leave her behind! He never once looked at her since they entered the forest, not even a glance. Despite her attempts at having a conversation, the Duke ignored her and just hastened his steps instead.

The embarrassment that she felt was too much, she could no longer speak. She felt like a fool, trying to talk to someone who clearly disliked her. However, the Princess wasn't some coward that would shrink in front of challenges.
