Few days after that accident during the autumn banquet, I hadn't seen Young Lord for the whole week. He was occupied with Crown Prince who regularly visited the Stormhill mansion with various gifts. It was extremely obvious that Young Lord's charm had enamored Crown Prince, his own cousin.
I did realize that it was just a game, a ploy between Young Lord and Crown Prince as their love blossomed. Me? I was just a property for their story, nothing important. I grew accustomed by the way Young Lord wanted to play with me, so I just played along as long as he didn't kill me.
But when their drama finished with Young Lord and Crown Prince walking out from the scene together, I felt like this was unfair. It was too unfair for this property, this slave to gain nothing but heartache.
'Sigh, what am I thinking anyway? Maybe their love was just too much, so I got a heartache.'
