Wilted Rose
Chapter 1
Atlas
I wasn't expecting your visit today, my dear fiance.
Dolores
It seems like my letter didn't get to you.
Atlas
I'm sorry, it's just that ever since the prophecy came true my work increased a lot...
Seeing the large amount of paper stack at his desk, she felt a little guilty.
Dolores
I see, then is there anything I can help you with?
Atlas
That girl, she hasn't answered any of our questions...
The girl he is talking about was the girl that fell on him when he was taking a stroll on the palace garden.
Dolores
Then do you want me to talk to her?
His fiance is really smart.
Dolores
Alright, then I'll be back later
Atlas
Take care, sorry for the sudden request
Dolores
It's fine, I'm your fiance aren't I?
Dolores
Mhmm... Then don't apologize for such little thing
Iris
This is the room, Princess Dolores
She wondered what the girl look like.
Seems like she'll need to wait until the girl open up to her a little.
For the other to open up, the first thing you need to do is understand what the other is feeling.
Dolores
My name is Dolores xxx, how are you feeling?
Mhmm, it seems like it's still not working...?
Dolores
I heard that you haven't eaten yet, is there anything you would like?
She remember hearing that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Maybe it would for girls as well.
Dolores
Are you not hungry?
It's still not working...?
Clara
I want to eat steak...
Dolores
I see, then please wait for a while. I'll tell the chef.
Chapter 2
Alan
Is there anything else you would like to add, Princess Dolores?
Dolores
Please cook some bacon too
Alan
Alright, then please wait
After the chef finished cooking, she went back to the girl's room.
Dolores
Is it alright if I come in?
When she entered inside, the first thing she noticed was the messy room.
Seeing the small frown on Dolores face.
Clara
Sorry, I wasn't expecting anyone to come in...
She immediately went to clean the mess.
Dolores
It is fine, why don't you sit there first and eat?
Stoping what she was doing, she looked over to where Dolores was pointing at.
It was an expensive looking couch and next to it was a marbled table.
Clara
Is it alright for me to sit there...?
Dolores
Of course it is, isn't this your bedroom?
Tilting her head, she wondered what this person is thinking.
Why would she think she can't sit on her own couch in her own room?
Dolores
Is someone perhaps bothering you?
Maybe someone is mistreating her...
Clara
No, one is bothering me...
Dolores
Then, why would you think you can't sit on your own couch?
Maybe she's a commoner...
Dolores
It's alright, you can do anything you want as long as you don't harm anyone
Dolores
Yes, but please refrain your self from doing anything that can harm someone
Then she followed Dolores suggestions.
After giving Clara her food, she sat down on the couch that was Infront of Clara.
But, she have a feeling that she still won't answer.
Looking at the girl Infront of her, she was reminded of a chipmunk.
Dolores
Eat more, I can get you more if you want
It makes her want to feed her more
Clara
Thank you for the food
She gestured the maid who just came in, to clean up the plates.
Observing Clara, she made a note in her mind.
Unknown girl:
Likely a commoner... Cleans up dishes herself---> Not use to servants... Likes to eat
Since the unknown girl is probably new to this lifestyle, she shouldn't force her to suddenly change the way she acts.
She'll have to patiently guide her.
She looked over at the two. Then told the maid.
Dolores
It's fine, let her do it.
Hearing that Dolores allowed it, she quickly went to clean up.
Clara
Where should I put this?
Dolores
Give it to the her, she'll take it back to the kitchen
She gave it to Iris and then went back to sit.
Iris
Alright, Princess Dolores
Chapter 3
Dolores
What is your name?
Clara
Ah... My name is Clara
Dolores
I see, then do you have any favorite food?
She remember hearing that small talks help with getting closer to people.
Clara
Well, I like shrimps and lobster!
Clara
Anything seafood actually
She should tell the chef to cook seafood for dinner.
Clara
Then, what about you?
She was happy to finally talk to someone that doesn't have a motive of interrogating her.
Even though she knows why they are doing it. She still can't open up to them since she doesn't know if they will become her enemy or friend.
Being thrown in another world that is completely different from where you came from is something you can't suddenly accept over night.
She needs time and someone who will truly guide her understand the way this world works.
So until she knows she can trust the other person, she'll put a wall around her first.
So Dolores strategy to get to know her first is actually helping her to open up.
Dolores
I prefer seafood too
Clara
Then what about drinks?
Dolores
Anything that is flavored matcha
Clara
I haven't tried matcha yet
Dolores
Do you want to try some later?
Dolores
I can make some for you
Clara
You'll do that for me?
Over joyed, she went to hug Dolores.
Even though she only knew Dolores for a while, she already felt comfortable around her.
Realizing that hugging might not be normal here, she quickly retracted her hands.
Dolores
It is fine, but please refrain yourself from doing that again...
Looking at Clara, she was reminded of a puppy.
Dolores
Don't apologize for something so simple
Dolores tilted her head and that made her look quite scary.
Why is she panicking now?
Clara
Ack- I mean I won't do it again!
Dolores
Good, then I'll be going now
Dolores
Is there something wrong?
Clara
That your leaving already...
Dolores
If you're sad about that then I'll come back again tomorrow
Hearing that Clara became overjoyed.
Dolores simply waved her hand as a good bye.
