24
That night, rumors of Candice, who had bumped her
head and changed as a person, spread through the White Palace in the
blink of an eye.
『The Imperial Princess-sama
has gone crazy because she bumped her head.』
『She is trying to deceive those
around her by pretending to be a good Imperial Princess.』
While her surroundings were on guard, Candice was
struggling to change herself.
Just trying not to yell alone was wearing down her nerves
considerably.
She wanted to behave as a good Imperial Princess, but
she was still groping in the dark.
（For now, I managed to be kind to Eva,
Rose, and Arthur! With this, the path to the death penalty should
have receded……!）
After a month had passed since then, it seemed Candice's
efforts were beginning to get through.
Those who witnessed her transformation were surprised, but
their attitudes toward Candice gradually began to soften.
Perhaps because Eva and Rose were still
newcomers, they were a little clumsy and sometimes made mistakes, but they were
taking care of Candice with all their might.
How many times had she thought about wanting to fire these
two right this instant?
Even as her lip almost bled, Candice suppressed her
irritation and somehow endured it.
Up until now, the same maids had never stayed by Candice's
side for this long.
At this, the Head Maid, too, was surprised while
making her glasses clatter.
Even though a mistake used to mean immediate dismissal, now,
far from being fired for making a mistake, they were being forgiven.
Speaking of mistakes, it was the same for Arthur's
manners during meals.
As promised, Candice had been teaching manners to Arthur.
Forgetting that she used to treat Arthur harshly, Candice
was gradually regaining her self-esteem and confidence by teaching him.
（What I have been doing up until now
was not in vain, was it……!）
Because she had been teaching him table manners while having
all three meals together, after a month had passed, Arthur had properly
mastered manners, although not quite to perfection.
Perhaps because Arthur began to eat properly with Candice,
he had gained some flesh, his complexion was much better, and he looked
healthy.
Having been together with Arthur every day for so
long, her feelings of disgust had disappeared in the blink of an eye.
（Next time, I will teach Arthur
manners for tea parties!）
She gradually ran out of things to teach, and since the
weather was nice today, she had promised to have tea with Arthur in the
courtyard.
Jeanne, who had
initially been suspicious that Candice might oppress Arthur, now
seemed to completely trust Candice.
Besides, lately, Jeanne had even started scolding Candice
in the same way as Arthur, hadn't she.
At that, Candice also thought to argue back against Jeanne,
but somehow unable to get into such a mood, she listened to Jeanne's
preaching while biting her lip.
When Jeanne said whatever she wanted to her, she felt
angry and lost her temper, but for some reason, being warned about various
things didn't feel bad.
Without realizing that she was being unconsciously
influenced by Arthur's heart-cleansing obedience and kindness, Candice
headed for the courtyard in high spirits.
Right now, she had Eva and Rose preparing
things.
Having her hair tied up high in twin tails, she was fully
prepared, wearing a cute dress with yellow and white frills.
She had the chefs make sweets with vegetables kneaded into
them.
Seeing her eat the salad with a bitter face, the chefs had
been processing the vegetables to make them easier for Candice to eat.
Thanks to that, the things she could eat had increased by
now.
When Candice emptied her plate, the chefs would break
into happy smiles.
Wanting to see those faces, Candice had started finishing her meals completely.
