The Princess Who Was Married Off To The Prince of Slaughter In Place of Her Sister. While She Was Growing Fairies and Potatoes in The Garden of The Detached Palace, His Highness's Infatuation Began - Episode 5

After that, Wolfheart’s carriage set off towards the royal capital. Janet’s body was still trembling.

The carriage proceeded without incident and safely arrived at the royal capital a few hours later.

When I was getting off the carriage, no one was there to escort me, so I almost fell.

At that time, Fel helped me.

His Highness the Crown Prince said, “Tomorrow is the ceremony, so take the day off today,” and then left.

Without ever making eye contact, their voice was very cold.

The soldiers’ attitudes are not just distant… they are filled with hostility.

That’s true. Even if you risk your life to defeat a monster, if you’re called a “monster,” anyone would feel bad.

Janet, who shouted “monster,” looked at the Wolfheart palace and said, “This palace is so much smaller and dirtier compared to the Noblegrant Kingdom.”

Please, I really don’t want you to do anything else that would lower my favorability even more.

“Should I cast a spell on him so he can’t talk anymore?”

When Fel said that, I couldn’t help but want to ask for a little favor.

“Princess of the Noble Grant Kingdom, is it? I will guide you to your room.”

The maid from the Wolfheart Kingdom spoke to me.

She was a young maid with neatly tied brown hair, looking capable of doing her job.

“I am Ariaberta Noblegrant. I will be in your care here.”

I didn’t miss the maid’s eyebrows twitch slightly when she heard my name.

It seems that everyone thought that my half-sister Charlotte would be the one to marry into the family.

My name is Claire, and I am the princess’s attendant. Please feel free to ask for anything you need.

Even though Claire must be displeased about having to serve me, she doesn’t show it on her face. She’s a professional servant.

“Well then, right away, could you take the luggage to the room? And when I’m thirsty, if you could bring a cold juice to the room!”

Janet is bossing me around arrogantly.

From what position is Janet speaking?

“I want to sew his mouth shut with thread.”

I almost found myself agreeing with Fel’s opinion.

I have to have Janet dress me in my wedding attire.

“Janet will be going back to her country tomorrow or the day after, so please bear with it.”

I whispered softly so that only Fel could hear.

What was shown to Claire was a building standing on the outskirts of the palace.

Since she hasn’t officially become the Crown Princess yet, does that mean she should live in the detached palace until the wedding?

As far as I’m concerned, I don’t mind that at all.

Let’s go see how the garden at the detached palace looks later.

It would be ideal to have a garden wide enough to create a field.

The Wolfheart Kingdom’s villa was larger and tidier than the Noblegrant Kingdom’s villa.

Janet is relaxing in the living room while drinking the juice that Claire prepared for her.

I moved to the bedroom.

The bedroom was furnished with a canopy bed and calming furniture.

Today was quite eventful.

Meeting a potential spouse, encountering monster attacks, and being on edge from the maid’s slip-ups…

While I was resting in my room, Janet came in and said, “Dinner’s ready,” and threw a piece of bread at me.

“If you have complaints, take them up with the maids of this country! I’m putting up with just a piece of bread too! After meals, it’s bath time! Get ready for the wedding!”

Saying just that, Janet left the room.

“Look, Fel! It’s soft and fluffy white bread. I wonder how many years it’s been since I last had something like this?”

“Today is a feast!”

I shared half a loaf of bread with Fel.

If delicious bread is served, living in this country might not be so bad.

All that’s left is to get permission to use the garden, create a field, and grow potatoes and fruits.

I’ve started to look forward to living in this country just a little bit.

“After dinner, let’s take a look at the garden.”

“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it.”

Did he get in a good mood after eating? Fel smiles happily.

I have Fel with me. I can manage anywhere.

When I went outside to avoid being seen by Janet, there was a garden overgrown with weeds and in a state of disarray.

“Oh, how lovely!”

I couldn’t help but say it out loud.

If it were a garden with beautifully planted flowers, I would hesitate to turn it into a field, but since it is so overgrown, I can do so without hesitation.

“Let’s turn that place into a potato field, plant apple trees over there, and plant mandarin and peach trees here. And then…”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

I was excitedly brainstorming ideas for the farm with Fel.

That’s why I didn’t notice the person approaching from behind.

“Who are you? What are you doing in the garden at this hour?”

When I turned around, there was a maid standing alone.

I thought I might have been seen by Fel, so I looked back, but he had already disappeared so that no one else could see him.

Letting out a sigh of relief, I turn to face the other person.

I recognize this person. If I remember correctly, they are a maid from this country, and their name is…

“Ms. Claire”

“Your Highness… is that you? What are you doing at this hour? And that outfit…”

Ms. Claire looks at me with a suspicious gaze.

In the late hours of the night, a woman in an elaborate dress was standing alone in the garden. She must have been quite surprised to witness that.

It’s a post-meal walk.

“I see, since there’s a wedding tomorrow, please rest early.”

“Yes. I’ll do that.”

“Well then, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Um…!”

I was holding Claire back.

“What is it?”

“It’s about this garden.”

“Unlike the gardens of the Noble Grant Kingdom, are you concerned about how overgrown it is?”

“No, that’s not true…”

“The poor harvests have continued, and we can’t even manage the gardens of the detached palace. The gardeners are also involved in agriculture at His Royal Highness’s command.”

“I see, so that’s how it was.”

So that’s why the garden was so overgrown.

“May I plant seeds in this garden?”

“Were you listening to me? This country doesn’t have the luxury to leisurely do gardening right now. If we’re going to use fertilizer, it should go to the fields to boost productivity even a little… There’s no point in telling a princess about such things.”

“What I want to sow are not flower seeds…”

“Also, the meal that the princess left behind, saying ‘I can’t eat such cheap food,’ is considered a luxury in this country.”

“Huh?”

I only got one piece of bread, but did Janet do something?

“If you only leave your food uneaten, that’s fine, but please don’t make the maid throw it outside.”

Janet, you were doing something like that, huh?

“That was our maid’s fault, and I apologize.”

“Ally, you don’t have to apologize! It was all the mean maid who did it on her own!”

Fel is sulking next to me.

“Please be careful from now on. There isn’t even a single grain of wheat to waste in this country.”

Yes

“And also, I cannot grant permission to use the garden. If you absolutely must, please obtain permission from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Your Highness’s…?”

“Well then, I will take my leave now. Please rest early, Your Highness.”

Yes

Ms. Claire turned on her heel and left.

The prince dislikes me, so how am I supposed to get permission?

Should I ask at tomorrow’s wedding?

“That’s rude! Ali would never waste food! And Ali never said anything about growing flowers!”

Fel is sticking out his tongue at Claire.

“There’s nothing I can do about it. Ms. Claire thinks I ordered Janet to throw away the food. Besides, a princess wanting to grow potatoes in the garden is something no ordinary person would even think of.”

“It’s all Janet’s fault! I’ll make her nose hair all bushy and tie it in a bow! That way, she won’t be able to get married!”

I imagined Janet with her nose hairs tied in a bow and couldn’t help but chuckle a little.

“Stop, you shouldn’t do such things.”

“Why is that? There’s no need to protect someone like him. Ali is too kind.”

“I understand Fel’s anger. But Janet will return to her country once the wedding is over…”

“Before that, the wedding will be completely ruined. Ally’s popularity will drop even further.”

Knowing Janet, she’ll probably prepare an extravagant wedding dress to match the gaudy makeup she put on me today.

“That’s fine. I need Janet to think that my popularity has dropped at the wedding and go back to her country.”

“What does it mean?”

“My guess is that Janet is being instructed by someone to harass me.”

Probably, the one behind Janet is either her father or her half-sister.

“I want them to think that I am disliked by the people of the neighboring country and that I am going through a terrible time. That way, I think there won’t be any more unnecessary interference from my homeland.”

“Ali is smart! But I still get angry at Janet! I want to curse her to slip on fruit peels and fall every morning!”

If it’s Fel, I’m really scared he might actually do it.

I calmed Fel down and returned to my room.

Janet was preparing the bath, and my body was scrubbed hard, and my hair was pulled roughly.

Just a little more patience until tomorrow.

And then, the day of the wedding arrived.
