A/N: short chapter for Chae
.
.
King Son knows everything about Chaeyoung disguising on Monday just to collect the strawberry from her secret dealer, Sana. Now, she couldn't do it anymore because he forbid it. Hence, Nererri will go and collect for her.
All this month Chaeyoung didn't step out from the palace, except the empty land which is located just beside the palace but out from the royal guard's area.
She always goes there when she feels like it's a good day to draw until there are papers everywhere near the table since she went there a lot.

Cute animals, the scenery of the empty land, her mom gardening from her memory, but Majority of the drawings is Myoui Mina, from a lot of angles, either sideways, front, 45°, etc.
She even tried to draw herself with Mina in one frame, which becomes her favourites of all drawings.

[after a month}
Finally!
Chaeyoung jumps in excitement when Nerreri hands her two scrolls of letters, the first one she could recognize, the other one is unfamiliar to her. She immediately untie the little scroll and read it, her dimple is showing. Smiling till her cheeks could feel it. She jumps to her bed and rolls back and forth. Nererri just stands there, in a dilemma between telling her or not. Chae gets up and take a brush from her table, she writes.
사랑해~
"eww" Chae cringe but seconds after she whines, "I miss her so much, when will father let me go and visit her,"
"yeah, when?" replied Nererri shortly.
Chae untie the other scroll and kinda surprised because it's the first time she receives from this person.
Prince Dubu?
and this is a... love letter
Is he confessing his feeling to me?
"W-why prince Dubu sent me a letter?" Chae asked.
"He is not a prince Dubu anymore, princess"
"?? Did I miss something?"
(silence) Nererri look the other way
"hey, tell me Nererri"
"don't be shocked, princess"
"I won't"
"I heard from the King Son right hand that one month ago, Prince Dubu has ascended the throne, the late King of the Myoui Kingdom has passed away"
She must have been having a hard time...
" thank you for telling me, you can leave"
Nererri understands it means, she just bowed her head and left the chamber.
.
Chaeyoung face expression changed in an instant after Nererri left.
I'm not there...when she was hurt,
I'm not there... to hug and tell her everything is going to be fine.
When my mom passed away, I cried for weeks, even now if i miss her out of the blue, my eyes still shed tears.
Minari, you are really...
a strong person
