Episode 34: The Lonely Princess

"...Do you remember when you first met me?" (Thomas)

"...You told me to 'dress less conspicuously'." (Anise)

"Did you know that my heart stopped when you first came here looking like that?" (Thomas)

"I'm sorry!" (Anise)

"Do you think an apology would make up for all the rumors?" (Thomas)

I ran away from the detached palace, only to come to the Gana Workshop still dressed in my royal attire. Thomas nearly had a stroke since I basically jumped him. Understandably, he was very angry.

Honestly though, I don't have the leisure to care about Thomas. My nose was burning, and the inside of my eyes was still hot. If I'm not careful, I feel like I might let out something I don't understand, like a child.

As I sat curled up on my knees in the corner of the workshop trying to hold back something I couldn't control, Thomas let out an exasperated sigh.

"Go back to..." (Thomas)

"Isn't this where you're supposed to comfort me!?" (Anise)

"Shut up. I don't need you getting me into trouble. And this reeks of trouble." (Thomas)

"You're not nice! I'm a princess! You should help me!" (Anise)

"Then should I go and report that the princess is hiding out in this filthy place?" (Thomas)

"I'm sorry! I was selfish!" (Anise)

I really don't want to be brought back now. I mean, I caused a big commotion, didn't I? The knights who usually do their best to stop me ended up looking confused when they saw me crying.

I think I've just caused Euphie a lot of trouble. But, when I remember Euphie's face, I can't help but want to die. My heart is in pain, I feel like crying, and I can't help but sniffle. Then, I hear Thomas's tongue lash out.

"...Ugh, so annoying." (Thomas)

"...You're terrible." (Anise)

"You're the one who's terrible. It's nothing but a tragedy, a royal running into a commoner's workshop crying." (Thomas)

"Sorry..." (Anise)

It certainly is a tragedy... Truly, just depressing...

"...Ah, no more. Don't apologize. So... what happened?" (Thomas)

"You're going to listen to me?" (Anise)

"You talk, then you leave." (Thomas)

"Yeah..." (Anise)

As expected, I can't stay long in the store. I ran into the store crying; that's bound to cause misunderstandings. If rumors got out, it would be bad for Thomas. Actually, it might be too late. Really, what I am doing?

Still feeling depressed, I explained what happened to Thomas. I've complained a lot to Thomas before, but this is probably the first time I've whined to him. I don't usually breakdown this much...

And now I just felt lonely. Yet, I didn't want anyone to touch me. It was such a complicated feeling. That's why I'm so grateful that Thomas just sat there and listened to me.

Ever since Al-kun was disowned, I just assumed I was going to take the throne. But then Euphie said she wanted to become queen. When she told me it was okay for me to be free and pursue my dreams, I couldn't help it and broke down.

"...So, I ran away. Why did I run away? I really don't know... For the first time... I don't understand myself; I'm just going in circles, feeling sick..." (Anise)
