We were allowed only 10 minutes. Soon it would be time to go back to mother. We naturally started talking about what we were going to do.

“What are your plans for this season? You just made your debut. You must be very busy.”

“No, I'm going to return to my father's estate and enjoy a relaxed unmarried life. In fact, I was thinking of moving abroad, but .. my parents advised me to reconsider my decision, so I decided against it.”

In anticipation of leaving the capital, I broke off my engagement to Garrett and have since declined all invitations from other families.

I smiled and announced that I was leaving the front lines, and the fingertips of His Highness Ethan, who took my hand, tightened.

He seemed to be quite dissatisfied with my decision to stay in the countryside and keep men at bay.

"Are you running away?"

I lightly dismissed Prince Ethan's provocative lines.

"No, I'm moving on. In fact, I have a new hobby, and I'm going to try to master it while I'm there."

His Highness Prince Ethan, who does not know about my hobby, or rather, the business of preserved flowers, could not understand why I wanted to move so far away from the royal capital.

"I thought you'd be here during the social season.

The Queen will be disappointed"

An idea struck a chord with His Highness Ethan, moving past his reluctance.
