The books were mostly lent by Luna.

Then Sezh once went to the library with

Luna, and then she saw Raytan. It was around this time.

That day, Raytan sat by the window in the innermost corner of the library.

Sezh remembered that her bangs grew long enough to cover her eyes, and
shaggy bangs looked very dark.

The moment their eyes met, the eyes that were shining red like blood in the
sunlight. However, he didn't talk about anything and she couldn't approach
him.

When Luna saw Raytan, she was suprise and pulled Sezh. It seemed like a
person who thought that just looking at him, even eye contact, would do
something bad.

It wasn't because Luna's personality wasn't good. It wasn't just her. Everyone
in the Imperial Palace.

Not only the royal family, but also the attendants and maids. They didn't even
try to make eye contact with Raytan.

Sezh didn't openly avoid Raytan like they did, but it wasn't that she had any
other ideas. It means she didn't pay much attention.

She didn't have enough room in her heart to pay attention to others, and she
was suffering from it right now.

Back then, it was.

But not now.

I will survive. Whatever the way. Sezh muttered to herself.

Of course, it would be better if the tragedy could be prevented, but in fact,

Sezh had no special affection for the Imperial Palace.
Everyone laughed at her, and instead of treating her as a princess, they only
harassed her.

The older she got, the more the bullying grew grave, but whenever she was
ignored, but still couldn't help but feel miserable.

The same to her mother, Yerena. She had never loved Sezh in her lifetime.

Even at the age of 17, just before her death, when Sezh had just become an
adult, Yerena even tried to marry her daughter to the old Duke, who had died
before she got married to hin.

The words were a collection of poems, but they were meant to be sold out.
There was no one to stop them. The Emperor has numerous child, and
besides, he had no interest in his daughter, Sezh.

And the old Duke was over the age of God. He had a daughter and a son that
has almost the same age to Sezh.

But the luck is in her side, on the night when he decided to die with his bited
tounge, an untimely sad news flew in rather than to become such a human
concubine.

The Duke died of a chronic disease.

Sezh was relieved, but she knew right away that such unexpected luck would
be the last. The old Duke was only the beginning.

The man that Yerena brings next may be seventy or eighty. It was her, not
anyone else, who set fire to the idea of running away from the palace.
Besides, there was no reason to be in the palace when Luna was dead, well,
her neck was cut off and killed before she can leave.

In any case, Sezh was planning to survive somehow by making good use of
her five years.
