Chapter 14

Chapter 7.2 Princess Wedding (12)

Indeed, he was orderly.

Not even a strand of black hair was disheveled, his eyes that were slightly acute, surprisingly long and dense black eyelashes, sharp-angled nose, and sensitive cheeks. Perhaps because of his long neck, the buttoned-up uniform gave off a neat and tidy impression rather than feeling stuffy.

Since its just the two of us now, we should get closer close enough to want to get married

Thinking so, Riette was determined to show off what great qualities she had as a wife.

If my sister gets married this time, my mother will be very lonely, so Im going to pay more attention. Apparently, mother and the first daughter are like that so Ive got to be her strength! Im a person who takes really, really good care of my family.

Cain quietly listened to Riettes voice.

He hated noises without any substantialization, but the Princesss voice was similar to that of a marimba. The clear and transparent pitch was fast and comfortably struck his eardrums. It was like a gentle breeze lying among wild flowers in a peaceful world where everyone has disappeared.

So, when my sister gives birth to my niece later, Ill take care of her a lot. I dont think my sister would leave her child alone even if she had a nanny. Then, my mother will be distraught A baby that looks like my sister must be really pretty, right?

Theres no need for a Princess to take care of the royal children.

Riette glanced up at him and blinked as if she was slightly startled by the cold utterance as Cain went on.

Princess Beatrices husband is a commoner, so shell stay at the Palace without leaving home. There seems to be no reason for the Princess to endure unnecessary labor as there will be a royal nanny and maids.

Oh. My sister, right? Still, Im happy when my family is harmonious and happy.

Before being a family member, youre a member of the royal family of Chalonn. Princess Beatrice should be able to fulfill her basic duties well enough. Moreover, isnt Princess Beatrice your older sister? The duty to care for the younger sibling is the firstborns responsibility.

She tilted her head slightly at his words.

Riette didnt think it was intrusive on her duty as a member of the royal family for the younger sister like her to care for her older sister. Also, was there a law that required older siblings to take care of the younger siblings?

It may be different because there are only four sons in the Grand Duchy. I heard thats usually the case with brothers. The Grand Duke is the eldest son, right?

Well, even if I dont understand it, I should still respect the differences in family customs because cultures are different.

You can say that.

How is it having three younger siblings? Even if you become brusque with age, when you were young, it mustve been fun to be so crowded.

Fun

A bitter, self-deprecating sneer crossed his lips for a moment and then disappeared. Meanwhile, his hands were still moving busily, using the medical scissor to cut silk fabric into quarters. A luster flowed through the silver body that reflected the light.

Tuk.

When all of Riettes gloves were cut off, a rather ghastly appearance was revealed. The hot water that touched her skin, which turned red all over. It was a severe burn.

Cain narrowed his brow slightly.

I wonder how the Princess of a country got such burns on her hands.

Well

She could only roll her eyes in response.

If I say that my sister spilled hot tea directly on my hand, it would sound strange, wouldnt it?

.

Fortunately, Cain didnt ask more questions or show any signs of being curious. He was like a man who was used to drawing the line.

The tickling sound of gloves being cut rang in her ears.

Like a girl looking into a pond, Riette glanced at Cains hands as he was cutting with the scissors. His hands were large and rough enough to cover her face. He had long fingers and sharp bones, along with distinct tendons and bulging blue veins.

It was the first time she saw a mans hand in such detail and up close.

As if he was worried that the scissors might accidentally touch her skin a few times, his movements were surprisingly delicate.

By the way, Grand Duke, your hand movements are really amazing. How do you move like this?

The Grand Dukes hand froze.

It went in very deep, but it didnt hurt at all. Because its long and thick, and the piercing is delicate

Cains eyes shook slightly. His mouth twitched as if he was very embarrassed, but he immediately lowered his head as though he had committed a sin and stared at the scissors again.

Its because Im educated thats why Im good at treatment.

Really? I wish I had learned earlier, too. It wouldve been conducive to my sister Oh, Ill apply the ointment. It must be uncomfortable to touch me.

Of course, shed never done it herself.

As she reached out for the cylindrical glass bottle, Cain picked up the ointment one beat earlier and the lid opened and made a light sound.

Ttak.

Even though his gestures were light, in fact, they seemed to be locked quite tightly.

Riette carefully pressed the surface of the ointment lightly. She assumed he would be soft like pudding, but it was denser and harder than she thought. When she applied a bit more force to her fingers and dug into the ointment, her eyebrows furrowed strangely.

Umm. But, this feels weird. Its tighter and slippery than I thought

.

I need to widen it and move it like Im scratching it, right? Could you see if I can rub it like this, Grand Duke?
