Hot memories
The servants’ quarters were still.
Riv secretly returned to her room in time for the guards’ shift, and Princess Marianne’s maids, who were using the next room, were quiet as if they had not returned yet.
She didn’t get caught by anyone as she entered her room, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Whoo.
Riv, who was trying to light the candle, turned her head back, sensing someone’s presence.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
W-Who’s there?
Riv swept patted her chest, calming down.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Anna, why are you here?
Maid Anna
I, I’ve been waiting for a while and fell asleep.
Anna rubbed her half-asleep eyes and raised her eyebrow when she saw Riv. Her sleepiness left her.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
That’s right.
Maid Anna
What in the world is this?
Anna jumped out of bed and looked at Riv’s face, waist, hair and body, admiring.
Maid Anna
It’s really you, Riv!
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Thank you, Anna.
Maid Anna
You’re a little tall and slightly thin, but it doesn’t show much. Why is your waist so slim? You wouldn’t even need a corset.
Anna measured Riv’s waist. Riv felt shy by her touch.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Hey, hey, Anna.
Riv was worried that Anna’s voice would be heard in the next room.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Quiet.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
I’ll explain the details tomorrow.
Riv was tall and thin for a woman, so it was hard to get ready-made clothes. Anna was lucky enough to have gotten those clothes.
Everyone in the palace called Riv a widow, the walking corpse–
But, now. Plain pale face, long black hair, long limbs.
Because of the modest dress, she looked elegant and sad like the noble daughter of the fallen family.
Maid Anna
You would be beautiful if you wore the right clothes.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Anna, wait.
Riv pulled something out her inner pocket to pay Anna.
Along with the dress payment, she handed over the brooch she had been using.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Take this, too.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
It’s still usable.
The brooch was no more important than Riv’s life.
Anna tried to say something but Riv put a finger to her lips.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Shh..
Someone was walking through the hallway here.
Anna quickly hid what she had received in her arms.
Maybe because it was time for Marianne’s maids to return, but the hallway was noisy.
They went back to their room and the hallway became quiet after a long time.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
Thank you.
Anna checked that there was no one outside and left the room.
Riv locked the door again and changed her clothes after Anna left.
The room was dark because the window was closed.
A huge pile of clothes, the symbol of Madame Katana, piled under the bed.
Lying on her bed, Riv suddenly recalled Duke Sentoren. A man she could never have, nor should she crave.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
[But I liked that moment.]
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
[It was my first kiss, the moment Lionel and my lips grazed each other.]
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
[It was just a dream.]
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
[Forget about him.]
Riv fiddled with his mother’s portrait pendant hanging around her neck. She could hardly sleep.
Lionel’s lips were hot in memory.
Riv Katana/ Olivia [FL]
[Don’t forget, you’re a witch who’s travelled back in time. Don’t forget.]
