Simone explained everything to me.
Yeah, my guess really was spot-on... Lucretia had a thing for me even after we didn't see forever since Genny's 10th birthday. For some reason, I felt pained that I didn't make any effort to see her again, but I guess I didn't because there were a lot of things involved.
If I went on to search for Lucretia, it would be the same as me neglecting Serena. After all, I met Serena a night to Genny's birthday, and while she was the first girl I ever called pretty, Lucretia was actually the one I hit it off with the easiest.
Maybe the reason I actually hit it off with her was because she accepted me. I wasn't anything special, and a good number of people would vomit at the idea of the King's bastard child... After all, a good number of the nobles in the King's Court called me disposable trash several times.
