The Young Lady Tames the Main Leads

Of course, it wasn’t Nina or herself that really did all of them.

The ladies-in-waiting just borrowed Nina’s name.

That’s why.

This time, after she received a gift from Emir, Nina was actually a little worried.

The Lady named Emir, from Marquisate of Saeron, who is in the same kindergarten, gave her a present, so she thought she should also repay her.

She thought that if she couldn’t work out a proper solution, she would go to the Emperor and Empress to ask.

But in the end, Ninaina beat the worries.

It wasn’t a jewel or a villa document on the shores of another kingdom, it was just a fistful of caramel.

It was embarrassing for others to see her panicking over such a thing… without knowing why. She doesn’t think she’s her usual self.

‘Hmm.’

So she just decided to come up with a reward on her own. After five long hours of agony, the appropriate reward that Ninaina thought was none other than…

‘Since we received caramel, we can return it as caramel.’

It was a reward for the same thing.

However, it was not the same caramel. What Ninaina was trying to give was a premium royal recipe caramel that only imperial cooks could make.

Ninaina, who informed the imperial kitchen of her request through the maid, changed clothes and visited Nicholas’ room.

And after an hour or so, the maid who had been to the kitchen suddenly brought the caramels that had been finely wrapped.

One was to give Emir as a reward, and the other was for herself.

But Nina frowned after eating the strawberry caramel that the imperial chef made for her.

The maid next to her asked in surprise.

“Your Highness, does it taste strange?”

“……it doesn’t taste like this.”

Nina shook her head. It certainly tasted great. It was natural for her that even a grain of sugar was not made out of waste.

However, it felt like something crucial was missing.

Apparently, the caramel that Lady Saeron gave was awesome, although it might look a little sloppy.

‘There is no mistake. Lady Saeron must have a special secret that only she knows.’

Ninaina grew sullen.

At this point, no matter how colorful the package was, it was clear that Lady Saeron won’t be happy.

Because it doesn’t taste better than the caramel that Lady Saeron made.

‘No, wait a minute. Why am I thinking about Lady Saeron’s feelings.’

At the next moment, Nina was surprised.

The other person’s feelings? Reaction? She had never thought of anything like that in her 6-year-old life.

But why is she now imagining that kind of thing naturally?

‘Uh, it’s obvious that there’s even a strange magic on that caramel.’

So Nina erased her thoughts and made a ridiculous excuse.

Somehow Nina thought that she had changed a little since she went to kindergarten and to be exact, after meeting Lady Saeron.

She just wanted to make friends like the wonderful students of the academy from a novel, so she just created a kindergarten, but somehow it happened.

‘The more annoying thing is that it doesn’t feel bad.’

Eventually, Ninaina squeezed her little fist and placed the caramel box on the tea table in the corner of the room. In any case, she wanted to repay her.

‘Tomorrow, I will go to kindergarten and give it to you.’

* * *

“Take the box I left in the carriage seat.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Even until Ninaina called and ordered the imperial maid, who was waiting outside the classroom, I was just dazed.

‘Nina rewarding me a gift?’

I honestly couldn’t even imagine. It’s just… I was just sharing it with everyone fairly.

I never wished for caramel in return, and I didn’t even expect it.

Because Nina in my head, she shouldn’t even care about such small gifts.

‘Maybe, I’ve been thinking of these kids only as characters in novels.  Maybe that’s why I’m surprised that Ninaina has an aspect that I didn’t know about.’

When I was still surprised and puzzled by Nina’s new look, the maid who rushed to carry the order had returned.

The maid’s hands were empty.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness. I checked the carriage you were riding in, but I couldn’t find the box you were talking about.”
