Chapter 3

Those bruises on my only friend's face and body made me forget what I came here for

~ As expected Rosita will lie about those bruises and tell me that while she was riding her horse she fell off it.. Let's see what she has to say.

" Marissa! That's really surprising why You didn't send me word before you came so I could make sure you were well received?"

"What are you talking about right now, Rose! What happened to you!"

"Oh, you mean bruises? It's just practice and I fell off my horse, you know I'm trying Training hard to be a strong knight and I won't wait for protection from anyone" - she smiles -

As I expected she lied, I don't have proof of her lying but it doesn't look like normal fall bruises, it's more like a lump as if someone injected her in random areas I'm more sure confirmation of that.

The question comes here, why would Rose lie about it? Why are you hiding it from me?

We were friends from childhood and we did not hide anything from each other. We were like one body, so what is the matter with that strange thing? I don't feel an iota of comfort with that..

"Come on, Princess Marissa, have a drink. I've asked my maid Roxy to make your favorite drink specially"

"Thanks, Rose, stop talking to me formally and call me Mary as usual" -laughs silently-~ ~"Ah, I was joking with you, according to Mary. Apparently you are in a bad mood and because you came without news, there is a problem, right?"

It is true that I was preoccupied with Rose's strange matter and completely forgot about my problem, and the strange thing was that I had a suffocating feeling that I did not I don't feel like telling her anymore, I think it's best to keep it a secret from her.

For a while I had a slightly crazy idea: Should I go and talk to the little duke that I don't want that marriage? I think he would feel a little offended that a prestigious girl was being forced to marry him so he would refuse marriage out of the blue to protect his dignity.. I think it might work but..

"Hey Mary! Where did your mind go? From Earth to Mary, do you hear me?" - she yells so hard -

"What! Oh sorry I got a little lost" - she replies a bit nervously -

"I thought something important so I'm going home now and I'll talk to you again, ok?"

"It's okay, but I'm sure you're okay You're acting very strange today"

"Don't worry I'll come another day, bye Rose! "..

"I wonder what you're hiding, Mary.." he whispered mutteringly..

I quickly went to my house leaving Rosita is behind me with a suspicious look, I suspect she's thinking what's wrong with that bum today, I'm going to tell her about my marriage anyway but not now at least, what matters to me is that I'm just going home to talk to that guy Chris Antonio, I hope he's still there He talks to my father with my marriage, which will never happen ..

- You go down from the cart in a wheel -

I have to rush. Strongly -

"I have never seen a woman speak so rudely, give me your hand to help you, miss"

Who? What ? Are you talking to me!
