Teresa was truly dazzlingly beautiful.
Casian and I had put all our effort into finding the perfect dress and accessories to fit Teresa in such a short time.
Thanks to that, she became the star of this party.
Her alwaysloose auburn hair was elegantly twisted up, adorned with pearls and diamonds.
The black dress made of luxurious silk was decorated with purple tulle, making it glamorous yet graceful.
“My, my goodness. Is that the clumsy girl from Menisil?”
A young girl clinging to Maximilian, who was flattering him, spoke as if she were in a trance.
I wasn’t the person in question, but I felt a thrilling sensation. It seemed everyone was shocked by the sight of someone who had been disdainful and insulting turning 180 degrees.
More than anyone else’s reaction, I was curious about Maximilian’s.
Would he not be able to take his eyes off Teresa? Or would he be nervous about other men’s gazes?

“Brotherinlaw?”
But contrary to my expectations,
Maximilian’s eyes were glued to Casian, who had arrived earlier, and Teresa, who was attached to her fiancé. He even looked a little angry.
No, who is angry at whom?
“Why is Teresa here?”
“She was invited, wasn’t she?”
“Just because she receives an invitation, she comes to such a place? Especially after sending me that kind of letter……”
“Since we’re going to break off the engagement anyway, she’s probably thinking of finding a new man now.”
At my blunt reply, his face, as beautiful as a painting, was horribly distorted.
“I have no intention of breaking off the engagement with Teresa.”

“Hmm. Is that so? I thought all along that you wanted to break it off and were behaving like that.”
At my harsh words, Maximilian only licked his lips.
With an effort to contain his anger, I took him and deliberately headed towards Teresa.
“Sister! You look so beautiful today.”
“Jaina.”
Teresa’s face, brightly smiling at me, stiffened slightly as she saw Maximilian. Maximilian, still with a dumbfounded face, slightly bowed his head to greet them.
“It’s been a while, Teresa. And Lord Eorun.”
“Ha… ha ha. It’s been a long time, Viscount. And Your Highness.”
Eorun, Casian’s younger brother, moved away from Teresa’s side, perhaps recalling Maximilian’s disgraceful behavior a few days ago.
A satisfied smile appeared on Maximilian’s face.

‘Talk about possessiveness.’
I grabbed Teresa’s hand.
“Since you’re dressed so beautifully today, let’s dance all the dances you haven’t danced so far.”
“But I have a fiancé……”
“Sister, don’t you trust Max? He’s not the type to get angry over something like that.”
At my firm words, something seemed to cross Teresa’s mind, and her face hardened.
After a moment of contemplation, she nodded her head.
“First of all, the first dance is with my partner, and after that, I will accept all the requests.”
“Who would ask me to dance?”
Teresa glanced at Maximilian with an uneasy smile.

It seemed like she wanted him to be the first to request a dance.
No, not a chance. His pride is too strong.
“What are you talking about! You’re so pretty.”
I urged Teresa to dance freely, speaking firmly.
Even as we were quietly chatting, the persistent gazes of the people around us stuck to us.
Well, a couple rumored to be breaking up each brought a partner, so it must have looked very funny.
But this topic also didn’t last long.
“Prince Nathaniel and Princess Anais are entering.”
As his name was called, the noise grew louder.
That’s because the relationship between the princess and the crown prince was really bad.

Princess Anais’s mother, the current empress, wanted the tenyearold Prince Henry to sit in the crown prince’s seat.
So, of course, the relationship between the crown prince and Princess Anais had to be bad.
And they were asked to attend the princess’s birthday banquet.
‘It’s a relief that they didn’t kill me there.’
I shuddered at the fact that I had acted as if I had about ten lives.
As the orchestra’s performance stopped, a moment of silence came.
In that silence, Princess Anais took the stage. Like the star of the day, the gorgeously dressed Anais spoke, her cheeks flushed.
“Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday today. Especially since my brother Nathaniel is with me, it seems it will be an even more meaningful day.”
Certainly, here is the translated passage:
No matter the circumstances, Nathaniel, adorned with jewelry, smiled brightly and joyfully.

She looked pure and bright.
Knowing how the princess had boldly approached Maximilian in the original work, he did not look pleased.
“Please have a pleasant time.”
As the short greeting ended, a waltz flowed.
When Nathaniel and Anais’ dance ended, Eioren naturally moved away from us with Teresa.
My older brother still dragged my hand with a chubby expression.
“You, did you know Teresa was coming here?”
“Yeah.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
Why should I tell you? As I snorted in disbelief, Maximilian flared up.
