Who is this person?

Purple eyes. A stunning platinum blonde hair that was dazzling enough to make one swoon. He was a tall man with a well-proportioned physique.

‘Uh, Cedric…?’

I saw that child only once. I wondered if that child would look like this when he grows up.

<This secret passage is the only safe passage for the royal children and women. We will keep this secret until we die. And I will tell the location of this passage only to the queen. Hoping that it will last for a long time.>

<Yes, that would be nice. Let’s double-check. Look at this.>

Then a man on the other side handed him a paper.

‘Who else is this?’

Shiny silver hair.

A familiar face. Is this a portrait of a white magician? No, it’s Professor Sibel?

<Look at this structure. Between the walls and the floor, there is a secret passage in a perfect triangular structure.>

<There are three escape routes in the room. With this, multiple people can escape at once.>

<Yes. There are three escape routes. The door in the wall, the basement door, and then the door in the ceiling, which is in the most secretive place…>

<It’s a secret passage, but aren’t there too many entrances?>

<To filter out, just reveal the location of one door. Give each person a different location of the door. To keep the secret safe.>

<I see. I should remember this location well.>

<Yes, if there is a war, evacuate the children to this theater. If they escape through this secret passage, they won’t be caught by anyone. It is a secret passage that utilizes the underground canal.>

In my eyes, a map that a man’s hand touched came clearly into view. It was more of a blueprint than a map.

‘The map of the secret passage.’

Huh? But why am I seeing this?

< We need to hide the entrance. To hide a tree, you need to hide it in the forest.>

<Then let’s hang up the picture. However, the secret must be kept strictly. Remember, the outer wall of the room, the center of the wall, is the first passage.>

My heart pounded faster.

‘What? Who need to remembers this?’

“Leticia?”

Then Collen called me quietly. My eyes widened.

“Yes, yes?”

I regained consciousness, holding Collen’s hand.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes, I was a little nervous.”

“So cute. But she’s just a kid.”

One of the nobles looked at me and said. I realized that I was lost in thought again and blushed.

“Did you expect her to not be a child?”

Collen gave the nobleman who spoke a subtle look. He paled and flinched.

“How arrogant.”

I didn’t hear more responses.

It’s like his personality, such thoughts crossed my mind, but at the same time, it was very Collen-like.

Collen led me all the way to behind the theater stage. I continued to feel uneasy.

‘Why do these memories keep appearing?’

Something feels off. It’s both ominous and uneasy.

‘Will I be able to do a play?’

Then I was startled. Someone tapped my shoulder. It was Lavigne, who had sparkles all over her.

“What did father say to you?”

“Huh?”

Lavigne was on the verge of panic.

Why is she acting like this? More importantly… I examined Lavigne up and down.

“Why are you sparkling like that, Lavigne?”

“I applied pearls all over my body. That’s what the lead actors do.”

Actually, it was closer to flashing than sparkling. Every time Lavigne moved, the light shone on her.

‘It’s like she’s a human with luminous body.’

Lavigne, who walked like a skeleton while staggering, was a sight I couldn’t bear to see again.

“I feel like I’m going to vomit. Did father ask about the play?”

“No, he didn’t say anything important.”

“I wish he did. I’m different from you.”

“Well, of course you are. You’re a princess.”

“That’s not it!”

Lavigne almost cried as she spoke.

“My mother and father don’t even know what role I’m playing. My dress was prepared by the maids.”

“…”

“But you, you’re a genius, and you even prepared such a dress at home.”

“What does that have to do with the play now?”

I started to worry that Lavigne might burst into tears.

‘Wow, this happens here and there.’

Isn’t this the life of the royal palace that I’ve only heard about in words? I grabbed Lavigne’s hand and walked over to the table.

“Lavigne, you practiced well.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. You act much better than me. Seriously.”

“You, who receives the Duke’s love all in one, what do you know, oh, oh… sob…”

Jealous of the princess again.

Do they even know that I’m the girl who used to dig through the trash on the street?

‘Of course, they don’t.’

They would be shocked if they found out.
