âNa-nanny!â
âYes, shall I send another letter?â
After exchanging correspondence all day today, the nanny came out saying that she would send a letter again automatically.
But this time, it wasnât that!
âI should drink a celebratory drink!â
âYes?â
âNanny, come on and drink a glass of orange juice!â
âWhat?â
My tenacity defeated Prince Lucianoâs stubbornness!
I beat the male protagonist!
I didnât know why he suddenly changed his mind after thinking about it for half a day, but I decided to enjoy happiness first.
Bewildered for a moment by my strange behavior, the nanny hurriedly went out and brought a glass of orange juice.
I drank the juice at once and boasted this joy.
âFinally, I got permission! I can go tomorrow!â
âOh my, really? Congratulations!â
âItâs the victory of my persistence!â
âI know. My lady is stubborn.â
â ⦠Nanny, thatâs a compliment, right?â
âOf course. Itâs a compliment.â
Looking at my nanny smiling benevolently, she seemed to have been praised sincerely.
âBut why do I feel like this?â
The nanny asked a question before my thoughts deepened.
âYou were rejected like that and eventually got permission. How did you persuade him?â
âI donât know.â
I really didnât know. Because he was tired of my stubbornness?
â ⦠Isnât that a bad thing?â
âLady, why does it matter? Itâs more important that you get permission.â
âThatâs right! Itâs important that I got permission!â
This time the unpleasant thoughts disappeared again at the words of the nanny.
âWell, I must have received the main characterâs buff.â
As the nanny said, the fact that I received permission was the most important thing.
Finally, I decided to enjoy having contact with the male protagonist.
***
âHello, Prince Luciano.â
I smiled as broadly as possible this time.
Prince Luciano had a cold face that didnât seem very welcoming.
I came with permission this time, so I smiled with confidence that I wouldnât be kicked out.
Prince Luciano, who had been watching today, opened his mouth.
âYouââ
âPlease call me Aesvin comfortably, Prince.â
I quickly informed him because he seemed awkward with my name.
Prince Luciano was looking at me as if seeing something mysterious, then asked.
âDo you tend to hear that youâre not good enough?â
ââ¦.â
My âsenseless operationâ must have made Prince Luciano look like a less distant person.
Like the male protagonist, he was cold and unpretentious.
I felt emotional.
But I put up with it.
The female protagonist in the novel was loved when she was indifferent and calm, or only when she was a sunshine heroine.
I couldnât be indifferent and calm, so I had to push ahead with a shameless and bright personality.
âNo? Iâve heard a lot of people say Iâm smart.â
Come on, be immersed in my brightness!
âThen, why canât you understand what people say? I told you over and over again, but you just do it.â
ââ¦.â
The male protagonistâs threshold was too high. It wasnât easily wound up.
How much more are you trying to bounce?
This time, I suppressed my anger again.
Yeah, I need to be more like sunshine to get close to the male protagonist.
It was the female protagonistâs warmth that melted the cold male protagonist.
Letâs try a little harder.
I held myself together and threw a big blow.
âI got it. I understood, but I pretended not to know because I wanted to meet the prince.â
It was shameful but an âI wanted to meet you!â attack.
âWith this straightforward expression, you must be feeling something.â
I was thrilled with that in mind.
However, Prince Lucianoâs condition wasnât the reaction I expected.
Blush, my face flushed.
I was expressionless, but my ears turned red and I avoided his gaze.
There were no cute gestures like wiggling my fingers.
âWhy?â
He just asked indifferently and stared at me.
His eyes, shining like clear glass beads, were full of doubts about the situation.
I was shocked.
Normally, when a female protagonist says something like this, shouldnât the male protagonist secretly flutter and react helplessly?
What would that make me If you looked at me like a criminal!
âWe-weâre supposed to be close!â
âSo why should we be close?â
It was an iron wall. Completely an iron wall!
Since you might be my man! I thought I would be treated as a crazy person if I said this, so I brought up what I said to Empress Isabelle again.
âI told you last time. Iâm going to be close to everyone.â
When I spoke enthusiastically, Prince Lucianoâs expression turned colder in an instant.
I didnât feel welcomed in the first place but now I seemed like someone he wanted to get rid of.
âYou canât be friends with everyone. Go to the others who accept you.â
After saying that, Prince Luciano stood up and left the drawing room.
âWhat? Is this the end?â
After sitting idly for a while, I realized that he had no intention of dining with me from the beginning.
I thought we would eat together, so I starved, but I was kicked out after saying a few words.
The male protagonistâs wall was high, really high.
***
I wasnât the main character if I gave up. The virtue of the sunshine female lead was persistence.
I didnât give up the sunshine tactics.
I also brazenly sent a letter to Prince Luciano.
Again, I threatened to go even if I didnât have permission, but there was no reply.
So I just went to meet him.
âNice to see you again, Prince Luciano.â
âWhatâs going on?â
Surprisingly, he wasnât rude.
âDo you always meet someone only when you have something to do?â
âThatâs something only a leisurely person can say.â
Even though I wasnât welcomed.
After spitting it out like that, he left again.
Suddenly, I was puzzled about where I was going.
I sat still and waited, wondering if he had an urgent matter.
It was only after sitting down for a long time, I realized that what we had just exchanged one sentence each was regarded as our âmeetingâ.
I had to come back home again with rage.
I wrote down a letter saying that I would visit again the next day.
There was no reply again this time, and I visited Prince Lucianoâs Palace without hesitation.
âHello, Prince!â
âYou donât even get tired of it.â
âI canât get tired of it.â
âIâm sick and tired of it.â
ââ¦.â
When I was silent because I had nothing to say, Prince Luciano looked at me for a moment and left.
I sat down for a while and waited, but he didnât come back.
I also belatedly noticed that todayâs meeting was over and returned home.
Frustration came at times because of Prince Lucianoâs coldness.
However, as a promising sunshine female protagonist, I didnât lose.
As the protagonist of the new story, I firmly established my will.
Without weary I brazenly visited Prince Luciano.
Was my sunshine tactic slowly working?
Prince Luciano sent me back without sharing a few words with me, but he no longer refused my visit.
âNow that you are used to my face, can I have a cup of tea?â
âDo you think this is a teahouse?â
Although this kind of conversation happened.
Still, I believed I was one step closer.
âAre you here again?â
âDonât we have to meet often to get closer?â
âWe can meet often and I hate it.â
⦠We were getting closer, right?
I wanted to believe that my sunshine tactics were working. Time went by steadily like that.
***
âNanny, I donât think this is going to work.â
âWhy? I think you stayed a little longer today.â
âNo. Iâve only exchanged four words.â
âOh, my. Thatâs a big deal.â
I was serious, but the nanny responded as if it were nothing.
I thought that Prince Luciano would seep into me if we met often. However, we havenât even had a proper conversation yet.
We always met each other for a while and said a word or two, but I was worried that it would be okay as it was.
âWhen are we going to be friends?â
âYouâll get close someday.â
What the nanny said was wrong.
Nearly a year has passed since I came in and out of Prince Lucianoâs Palace.
It has been a one-sided visit to me, and Prince Lucianoâs heart has not moved at all.
The relationship between us was so light that it would be hard to visit if he told me not to come anymore.
I worked so hard to meet him, but I still havenât gotten a cup of tea!
Before we became friends, the original female character would appear!
My sunshine tactic doesnât work at all!
I was tired of lying that I was doing well with Prince Luciano in case my parents were worried.
âI canât do it like this. Is there any way to get close with a friend?â
âAre you asking me how to get close to your friend? How many years have passed since I became old and made new friends?â
Surely, it was rare to make new friends at my nannyâs age.
âThen what should I do? I really donât have any friends.â
I had no time to make another friend because I was seducing Prince Luciano.
Before I possessed Aesvin, I had a friend with whom Aesvin got along well.
However, when rumors circulated that I was going in and out of Prince Lucianoâs Palace, I lost contact.
I couldnât think of maintaining friendships with others because I also had to visit Prince Luciano every day, so I happened to be a loner.
Thatâs right.
I wasnât a person who would dwell on the existence of a friend, but I thought it would be very unfair if I didnât become friends with Prince Luciano.
In my cry, the nanny sighed and suggested.
âWhy donât you prepare a present?â
âPresent?â
âYouâve been empty-handed every time you visit the prince palace, right?â
Come to think of it, Iâve never brought a present.
Gifts werenât essential when visiting someone elseâs house, but if I had visited this much, I should have taken something with me at least once.
I was willing to accept my nannyâs advice.
âWhat would be a good gift?â
âWell, what the prince likes ⦠thereâs no way my lady would know, right?â
The nanny who knows my condition said something to face the current situation.
I should have had a good conversation. I grumbled and then suddenly came to mind.
âI know what to prepare, Nanny.â
âReally?â
The nanny looked worried at my confident tone.
But I wasnât nervous at all.
âYes, Iâm sure Prince Luciano will like my present!â
This was the privilege of being a possessor!
I didnât know what Prince Luciano liked now, but I knew he would like it in the future.
