Chapter 105 – Frida POV
I have nothing to do.
For the first time in my life, I truly have nothing to do.
It's been a month since the duch—no, Lady Evelyn, the Princess—organized everything for us to live here in this small, remote town tucked away in the hills.
It's peaceful. Isolated.
Traveling here had been hell—the rickety roads, the endless forests, the sheer distance from everything we once knew.
But somehow, despite everything, we made it.
And now, despite all the talk about being demoted to commoners, the new identities are Mr. Han and Mrs. Han, the "new local lords" of this town.
It's almost laughable, how the titles fit and don't fit at the same time.
The people here are simple.
The air is clean, untainted by the acrid smells of the capital.
The food is rough but hearty, and the work is endless but honest.
The first few weeks were hard.
Really hard.
Hard enough that there were nights I thought Lady Evelyn would break.
