Chapter: 1034

She was grateful for his kindness and thoroughness, and she was a bit sorry.

Because she didn’t know anything about what he was doing.

‘I’m a bad lover.’

Gretel walked along the shore of the lake and gathered herbs while glancing at Fritz from time to time.

‘When is a good time to tell him?’

The sun began to set when they were halfway around the lakeside.

Gretel couldn’t wait any longer.

“I…….”

Fritz who was in the lead turned when he heard Gretel.

“I have something to tell you.”

The setting sun cast a shadow over his handsome face.

The lake, which previously reflected a refreshing blue light, was now dyed red.

Gretel got her heart together and tried to tell him. But somehow she didn’t have the courage, so she kept her mouth shut, but a low voice interrupted her words.

“You don’t have to tell me if it’s too hard.”

“Yes?”

Fritz said with a lonely look like the setting sun just before disappearing.

“I also have something to tell you, Miss Gretel.”

***

Although he didn’t express it outwardly, Fritz was just as conflicted as Gretel felt.

It was good that he became Gretel’s lover.

The days they spent together in the mountains were sweet and happy.

However, the relationship between the two has been getting farther and farther since returning to the capital.

Taking the chance that they came to the summer palace together, he wanted to see and spend more time together than when they were in the capital.

However, Gretel avoided him even more after coming here.

Even when she was alone, there were many times when she was just answering questions sparingly and lost in her thoughts.
