That Ducal Lady Carries the Princeās Secret
ćć®å ¬ēµä»¤å¬¢ćÆćę®æäøć®ē§åÆćå®æćSena, stripped of her inheritance by her stepmother and stepsisters and exiled from her homeland, now works as a hotel housekeeper in a luxurious resort of a neighboring kingdom.
One day, Miaāan imperial noblewoman and Senaās childhood friendāarrives at the hotel.
But soon after her stay begins, Mia suddenly collapses from illness.
As a friend, Sena often visits Miaās room whenever she can manage it during her shifts. Then, one day, Mia gives her a surprising gift.
āIf I canāt attend myself, I want you to have these,ā she says, handing Sena a ticket and mask for the masquerade ball being held at the hotel, along with an opulent dress.
Sena and Mia share similar figures and features; there is no doubt Sena could pass as Miaās stand-in.
For just one night, she can return to the high society she once knew.
Despite herself, Sena cannot hold back the joy swelling in her heart.
Rumor has it the ball may also serve as the venue where the kingdomās crown prince chooses his future bride.
Sena has only ever seen him in newspapers or in the portraits displayed in the hotel lobbyāso when he approaches her and speaks to her, her heart skips a beat.
They dance together, sharing a fleeting dream of a single night, and Sena gives herself to him completelyāheart and body alike.
But as dawn breaks, it is time for her to return to her ordinary life.
Before her true identity can be discovered, Sena slips away from himā
never realizing she now carries the crown princeās secret within her.
Since the first half focuses on the meeting between the heroine and the prince, the reason for the heroineās misfortune appears in the middle of the story. The comeuppance for the stepmother and stepsisters occurs toward the end, but rest assured the heroine will have a happy ending. I hope you enjoy reading.
