A beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, whose mere appearance would be enough to make an unprepared person dumbfounded, suddenly appeared right in front of me.
Being completely at a loss, I couldn't help but ask:
«Your Highness…? What are you doing here?»
«I'm sorry, Lady de Walt,» Jerica de Ronan immediately stepped back and apologized to me, «Did I scare you?»
«N-no, it's fine…»
After recovering a little from what happened, I took a short breath and looked at her again. By that time, the guard who accompanied me had already left without finding me here, so now we were alone in this corridor and could talk more freely.
«Lady de Walt, I'm sorry that I haven't had a chance to visit you before. But…» The second princess carefully said, «Are you all right now?»
— yes…» I sighed, «At least for now, I think I'm really okay.»
«Well, that's good.»
