“Anette has smooth shoulders, so she would definitely look beautiful in a dress that reveals them. I like the numerous gems embedded in the chest area. But I don’t like that it reveals not only her shoulders, but also her waistline to other guys’ eyes.”
Those were the words of a man who claimed not to know even the ‘D’ shape of a dress. When he imagined Anette, he came up with a more meticulous answer than a designer.
“That’s exactly it. You need to look carefully at each and every detail like that.”
Hertian beamed proudly, examining several dresses in turn.
“You’re useful after all.”
“I don’t know much about other things, but I’m an expert when it comes to this. I have four older sisters, after all.”
Although Osen didn’t have a lot of dating experience, going to a salon led by his sisters was a common occurrence, so choosing a dress was as easy as eating a meal.
In this way, it seemed that Hertian was smoothly selecting a wedding dress.
Until he saw the letter of marriage refusal from Count Leangberia.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]And the current situation.
Hertian, who had rescued Anette from the ship, was engulfed in great rage.
Just a day ago, there had been talks of marriage, and it was bad enough that they had informed him through a ceremony that they couldn’t get married, but Anette was dating another guy?
Hertian, who had heard news of Anette dating another gentleman, flipped his eyes.
He had to see her right away. Even if he heard directly from her mouth that she wanted to cancel the wedding, he wouldn’t have accepted the situation, but he felt he could calm down if he met her facetoface.
However, when he finally met Anette, she was bloodied and unconscious in front of him. He felt as if his eyes were spinning.
“How did Anette end up abandoned on the lake like this, and in this state?”
“According to the ship’s caretaker, Her Highness suddenly boarded the ship and hid. The ship is enchanted, so when someone boards it and a certain time passes, it departs automatically.”
Osen’s answer led Hertian’s sharp gaze towards Edward.
‘It’s all because of this fool.’
He was already angry that Anette, who was already frail, had collapsed.
“So, you’re saying you did this.”
“No! I was just waiting for Her Highness to wash her hands and return. Suddenly, Her Highness boarded the ship by herself…”
“That’s just an excuse. In the first place, it was wrong to bring her to the lake.”
“Huh?”
Edward, who had been making excuses with his head bowed, finally raised his head.
“Didn’t you know that Anette had an accident where she fell into the water when she was young?”
Hertian asked as if crossexamining him. He could tell the answer by just looking at Edward’s bewildered eyes.
“That, that’s…”
“Well, she was just a strategic marriage partner, so you probably didn’t care.”
Edward’s face turned dramatically dark.
“No, that’s not true!”
“Get out. After all, Anette won’t marry you.”
His cold voice echoed through the hospital room. The stiff atmosphere, like an icehouse, didn’t seem to ease any time soon.
“No, I can’t. I have to apologize to Her Highness in person. I will.”
Edward pleaded to Hertian with trembling lips, attempting to stand on his own two legs.
“Just until Her Highness wakes up…….”
“I said, leave.”
However, it was hard for Edward to approach the aura of Hertian, who stood guard in front of Anette, as if a barrier had been put up around her.
Edward was suffocating at the thought of not seeing Anette again, whom he had met after a long time.
“Isn’t it a matter of no concern to Your Grace? I’m grateful that you saved Her Highness, but this is a matter between her and me.”
Edward, overwhelmed with frustration, yelled at the duke, unaware of the danger.
A wrinkle formed between Hertian’s brows.
Firstly, because he was worried that the deeply asleep Anette might wake up.
Secondly, because he found it disgusting how this guy was persistently clinging to Anette.
Lastly.
“A matter between the two of you? There’s no such thing. Not now, not ever.”
Edward, about to argue back, snapped his mouth shut like a clam. He wanted to argue, but all he could do was chew on his own lips, because the duke’s voice was wrapped in anger, as if he was about to tear out a beast’s throat.
“Leave. Don’t ever show up in front of Anette again.”
Under the sharp reprimand of Hertian, Edward, picking at his nails, timidly retorted.
“Today’s meeting was requested by the Earl first…….”
“So, you will meet again?”
“Well, but if the Earl arranges a meeting, I will meet at any time.”
Then Hertian’s rigid expression broke. It was a gaze that could rip a person apart if it were a battlefield.
“Is it because you were raised in luxury, you don’t understand unless it’s said harshly?”
“…….”
“Do you need to see blood to understand properly?”
The killing intent in the hospital room was dizzying. Ultimately, Osan, who had been silently watching the pitiful man who couldn’t even straighten his shoulders under Hertian’s pressure, stepped forward. Because he thought that at this rate, Edward would also need to be hospitalized.
“Oh, this is difficult.”
He patted Edward’s back a few times to safely escort him out.
“Leave Her Highness to us and go back.”
And subtly pushed his back. He was also giving him a chance to slip out quietly.
“Huh, what did I do wrong?”
But, contrary to expectations, Edward burst into sorrow at the consolation offered out of courtesy.
“Why does everyone tell me to give up on Her Highness? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did, and His Grace the Duke did…….”
“Hey, first calm down.”
“The Earl also gave his permission. But why! Why does everyone say that to me!”
Osan stepped back, thinking he had done something unnecessary. He had the misfortune of being caught in front of the Duke, who was already upset from receiving a letter from the Earl.
“Do you want to make a fool of yourself?”
Hertian’s head tilted. Edward had nothing to back away from now. He knew that if he was kicked out like this, he would never see Anette again.
“Her Highness. No, Anette is not just my strategic marriage partner.”
Hertian contemplated kicking the back of Edward, who was standing his ground, but seeing him crumple to the floor, he withdrew his foot. Clear tears dropped from Edward’s eyes.
“……Hic. Anette is my first love…….”
“……. ”
“And it’s been a onesided love for 3 years now……. ”
It wasn’t a story to tell in front of a stranger. Especially not while crying. It was a story he hadn’t even thought of telling while crying. But it was better than going back like this.
“Give up.”
However, Hertian spat out coldly, his face devoid of a hint of sympathy. Edward’s tearstained face twisted even more grotesquely because of this.
“Give up……. Is it so easy to, sniffle, give up on one’s feelings? If only I could……. ”
“It’s been 5 years.”
Hertian, who had been quietly looking down at him, cut in.
“Huh……? Sniff, what’s been 5 years?”
Edward, puzzled by the Duke’s sudden words, lifted his head which had been hung down.
“You’ve only been doing it for 3 years, but it’s been 5 years for me.”
The time he had been in unrequited love.
Edward’s eyes fluttered at the understanding of the meaning. Osan averted his gaze as if he could not stop his master’s confession.
“Get lost, kid.”
