It Was Summer

The imperial princess had suddenly appeared and confessed that she was the person who had been watching me all this time.

I went over once again what she had just said.

[I'm sorry. I only did this because I wanted to see for myself what kind of person the heir to House Nebla was. I wasn't watching you because of any political stance or hostile intentions.]

Hmm?

What?

Isn't it only natural that people don't openly admit their own shortcomings or mistakes?

She's the imperial princess.

The Empire's one and only imperial princess, at that.

Naturally, anything that came out of her mouth would become the Empire's word, regardless of what she herself thought.

That's why First Imperial Prince Valterion had used the word "regret" in response to my words moments ago...
