“Is it this way?”
Passing through the corridors of the royal palace, Delina’s destination was the reception room. However, upon peering into the open door of the reception room, she found that the servants were in the midst of cleaning. The servants who recognized Delina lowered their heads and spoke.
“If you’re looking for the Grand Duke, he has already left.”
“Oh, I see. What about the others?”
“Yes.”
“I see… Thanks for letting me know.”
At the mention that everyone had already departed, Delina rolled her eyes.
‘Did Noah go straight back to the Duke’s residence, or did he go to a different place?’
Contemplating where Noah might be, Delina furrowed her brow and walked down the corridor. And then, Delina’s steps abruptly came to a halt.
“……”
To anyone’s eyes, it was blatantly obvious that there was a trap device right in front of her. Delina cautiously surveyed her surroundings. Soon, she spotted familiar red hair from the direction of the garden. Delina headed towards that direction.
“You were walking so absentmindedly; I thought you would fall into it, but you didn’t.”
“I may not know other things, but I can amazingly detect one of your trap devices.”
Shrugging her shoulders, Delina looked around. Vincent, who had figured out whom Delina was looking for, spoke up.
“If it’s him, he probably visited the Duke’s residence and then came to the Grand Duke’s.”
“Oh, really?”
Upon Delina awkwardly revealing Noah’s schedule, she raised the corners of her mouth as if embarrassed.
“Oh, by the way. About me and Noah. Of course, you must have seen various things back then… So, how did it happen…”
“I understand. What situation it is.”
Delina cut Vincent off at the well and spoke quickly. Unexpectedly, Delina’s eyebrows raised.
“Why?”
“…Well, I thought you might ridicule or say something like that. How did the two of us meet like that, it’s a result that couldn’t possibly happen, saying things like that.”
Upon Vincent’s words, Delina fell silent for a moment and then replied, “Even if I say something, it seems impossible.”
“Huh? What possibility?”
“…”
“Try doing an experiment? What… Wack!”
Approaching Vincent with a step, Delina’s body suddenly shot up in the air. Soon, she found herself entangled in a net, and Delina, looking awkward, opened her mouth.
“You…! When did this…!”
“Well, you shouldn’t have let your guard down until the end.”
“…Oh well, let’s do this until we become grandparents or something.”
Smiling at Delina’s bravery, Vincent spoke.
“Come to think of it, have we ever had a conversation like this before?”
“Oh, right. When we first talked, just the two of us?”
At that time, they were struggling to figure out how to escape from the net, but now, they could easily untangle such a net.
‘…Of course, getting caught in traps seems to be still ongoing.’
Laughing at Delina, Vincent opened his mouth.
“By the way, did we have a conversation like this before?”
“Oh, yes. When was it, the first time we talked together?”
Back then, she struggled to figure out how to escape from the net, but now, she could easily untangle such a net.
‘…Of course, getting caught in traps seems to be still ongoing.’
Laughing at Delina, Vincent opened his mouth.
“By the way, did we have a conversation like this before?”
“Oh, yes. When was it, the first time we talked together?”
At that time, she struggled to figure out how to escape from the net, but now, she could easily untangle such a net.
‘…Of course, getting caught in traps seems to be still ongoing.’
Laughing at Delina, Vincent opened his mouth.

“I genuinely enjoyed being with you all, always had fun.”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
“Yeah, so… Huh?”
Delina’s eyes widened at Vincent’s quicker agreement than expected.
“Is that it?”
“Yeah.”
“Uh… You believe it just like that? What I said?”
Unlike the surprised Delina, Vincent nodded his head blankly.
“If I lied in the first place, would someone as transparent as me make up things in front of you?”
“…”
“Besides, it’s even harder to believe that all the strange things you’ve done so far were just acts to prevent the empire’s destruction.”
“…Well, anyway, thanks for believing me.”
While genuinely irritated, Delina gave Vincent a glare of disbelief. Then she asked again.
“Do the others know everything like you do?”
“They might not know in as concrete terms as I do, but they probably have a vague idea. Everyone has a good sense.”
“Well… that makes sense.”
“Anyway, if there’s something I want to say to you… Thank you.”
“…”
Delina stared blankly at Vincent’s gratitude.
“To be honest, if you weren’t there, things might have really turned out that way. No, they would have.”
“…”
“I’m not the only one saying this; I’m speaking on behalf of the others. Everyone probably thinks the same way. Anyway… that’s it.”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
