Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Chapter 279

Under my mask, I could feel my face twitch for what seemed like the umpteenth time, especially whenever I found myself vying with Princess Harriet for anything. It always ended the same way - with the item in question being destroyed.

"Oh, I've lost interest anyway. Let her have it. If I can't have it, it wouldn't end well for anyone else who does."

With that, Valery ushered me out, with Princess Harriet turning her back to me and Lily avoiding my gaze. Even knowing Princess Harriet wished her ill, Lily remained composed, a trait I couldn't help but admire.

"Why not let her stay and see if she's really all that?" I suggested as I turned to leave.

Just then, I heard the playful sound of Princess Harriet running barefoot towards me, the jingle of her anklets filling the air before she pulled me back to sit down. "We'll have someone bring the items for us to see. Whatever you like, we buy. My fish will cost at least a million, you know. Can you afford that? If not, maybe you should stick to peasant food."

Her words, though spoken softly, sent a shiver down my spine.
