One day, the world surrounding Ingrid changed. The kind and warm world became cold and scary, but she struggled to adapt due to the great hatred burning in her heart which made her broken. She then realized she couldn't go back to herself and be happy.

She abandoned most of her dreams of being a princess and then chose to walk the path of revenge. She knew that there was something she had to endure to some extent in the process, and one of them was about her relationship with Cain.

'When I was young, I thought I would marry someone I love.'

Ingrid smiled bitterly as she realized the reality was different. She fled from the emperor and sought her freedom, but that freedom was only for a while. Now, she has to marry Cain as someone who inherited royal blood to revive the kingdom.

'Would you suffer if you knew that?'

Suddenly the face of the emperor flashed in her mind. That disgusting and hateful bastard. She hopes the bastard who took away her kingdom will be angry and suffer.

Knock knock-

There was a knock. After hearing the familiar voice, Ingridgot up from her seat.

"Princess."

"Cain."

He will soon become her spouse. He wasn't a bad person and was highly knowledgeable, sincere, nice, and honest. If there was a problem, it was not about him but the people behind him. Most of the important people who defended the kingdom died at the hands of the empire. As a result, the people's remains consisted of a few lucky people, and most of them had turned away from the kingdom.

The lucky ones were quite useful, but it's not the same for those who didn't. He was calculating the profit that would benefit him to survive the kingdom. But they'll be people he would leave behind.

Besides, what he wanted was not smart royal. He needed a royal family that he could wield at will. It wasn't long after she came here that she realized that. She figured out the situation late and tried to fix it, but it was already too late.

"What's going on?"

When she asked Cain about his business, Luana suddenly appeared from behind. At first, Ingrid thought they would hate Luana, but she was glad Luana could adapt quickly. Recently, she seemed to be spending most of her time in the kitchen and gaining favors from others due to her cooking.

"I made some sweet snacks and brought some."

"Snacks?"

"I just gave her some ingredients."

Cain spoke in an apologetic tone. At first, he was suspicious of Luana more than anyone else, but now he is quite on her side. He thought it would be nice if Luana were more focused. Ingrid sighed a little in regret.

"It's delicious. Would you like to try it?"

"Yes, thank you."

Crisp-

Even though the quality of the ingredients must have been bad, the snacks she made were delicious. It was crispy and had a light savory taste. The after-taste was slightly sweet, and it felt like her fatigue went away.

'I hope Luana won't get hurt.'

That was all Ingrid had hoped. But the situation was getting worse. The more she showed her bright side, the greater his invincible malice grew.

***

Luana knew what Ingrid thought.

No, there's no way she doesn't know. When she first arrived here, Luana felt a strange atmosphere. The people here did not welcome her like the first people who joined the death squad. She didn't want to be friendly to them and decided to lock herself in the kitchen.
