The Grand Duke’s Fox Princess

It seemed that he never gave even a single glance at the night sky from the beginning, instead only looking at Eristella.

‘You did it?’

“…….”

‘Why…?’

Even though Heinricion knew what Eristella was asking, he simply watched silently.

“…….”

At that moment, Eristella was enveloped in a strange feeling.

She now felt as if she was in the form of a princess rather than a fox.

She hadn’t seen this side of him in years.
Even though they seemed to be looking straight at each other, their gazes were always off.

And after becoming a fox, they saw eye to eye several times.

Heinricion’s eyes were different from the ones that looked at a mere fox.

In the end, it was Eristella who broke the gaze first.

‘Now this is not important.’

‘It’s not like I’m running away, I’ve got a lot of work to do, so it’s like I’m forced to turn around.’

Eristella ran swiftly.

She had to do as many things as possible today.

She shook off the shimmering Heinricion from her mind and concentrated on the next thing.

Eristella looked at the faces of the banquet attendees.

Today, the couple of the County of Azurdi was less conspicuous than expected.
As a result, there was nothing to draw up a plan for.

‘Am I being sensitive?’

Eristella didn’t expect to find something suspicious right away, but she felt like she should give it a little more time.

She turned her gaze away and looked elsewhere.

In fact, she had some expectations.

She thought there might be someone who could help her.

As there are many people related to Princess Eristella here.

Among them were her ladies-in-waiting.
The ladies-in-waiting of Imperial Princess Eristella were mostly children of high-ranking nobles who had various interests, so there could be at least one.

But it didn’t take long for her small hopes to crumble.

Eristella could see at a glance how the ladies who were her personal maids were doing.
They were getting along very well.

Among them, the lady who was receiving the most attention from the center of the social circle was a face Eristella knew very well.

It was the esteemed daughter of the Marquisate of Lateran, Greta.

The Marquisate of Lateran, which was a distinguished family among prestigious families in the past, had been gradually declining in the last few decades.

But Greta Lateran always wanted to stand out.
It was also for that reason that she volunteered as a lady-in-waiting for Eristella.

Although she enjoyed a superior position in the social world as the princess’s lady-in-waiting, she was still under the shadow of Eristella.

“You said that the Marquisate of Lateran succeeded in developing the West? My husband and I were very curious about it.”

“Actually, I am also interested in western development.
My father said that he would like to have dinner with the Marquis.
I need to ask you for a favor.”

“Don’t worry.
I’ll talk to him well.”

At the words of Lady Greta, the people around her hurriedly spoke in order to win her favor.

Now, no matter what anyone said, Lady Greta was the brightest in the center amongst many people.

Looking at it, Eristella thought that Greta had finally achieved what she wanted.

Laughter came out.

Clearly, there was no trace of Princess Eristella left anywhere here.

After realizing that fact, she started to see differences that she didn’t care about at first.

Right under the emperor, there was always the seat of Princess Eristella.

But the chair didn’t exist there today.

There were no flowers that Eristella normally cared about in the banquet.

‘Still, they kept the flowers as they were.’

Tears seemed to come out of her eyes over ‘nothing’.

Of course, Eristella did not consider herself to be the center of the world.

But she did not know that she would come to realize that no one remembered her like this.

Imperial Princess Eristella was recognized as a completely dead person.

During the six months of Eristella’s disappearance, her vacancy was completely filled with other things.

As if they were waiting for the princess to disappear.

‘…….’

Not wanting to show her disappointment, she struggled to maintain her expression, not having any choice but to put strength in her lower jaw.

She pretended she was okay, but she was actually not.

She wasn’t exactly fine.

She already knew.
That everyone hated her.
So, the fact was that even if she disappeared, no one would miss her.

But it was to this extent.

To the point where they wanted to trample, stain, and crush all her traces as soon as she disappeared.

‘But why does my heart feel like it’s tingling now.’

Weird.
She had never felt like this before.

It was probably because she spent some time at the Grand Duchy of Adelasia and was loved by many people.

‘How could my strength weaken so quickly?’
