Caught off guard by Bianca’s reaction, I awkwardly smiled. Just then, the footman’s voice rang out again.
“Lady Rebecca, Duke Cedric is here.”
Cedric came to see me too? What’s happening today?
I spun around in confusion for a moment.
‘Maybe he came to dissuade Bianca?’
Cedric felt like a savior at that moment.
When I allowed him to enter, Cedric soon stepped into the duchess’s quarters.
“Ah, Duke Cedric!”
“……Long time no see, Rebecca.”
After greeting Cedric, I sent him a covert signal with my eyes.
‘It seems like you’ve come to talk Bianca out of it, please take her with you.’
But Cedric just looked at me silently.
‘Doesn’t he understand my signal?’
I gestured again, but Cedric ignored my glance and walked over to the sofa.
“Long time indeed, Rebecca.”
After exchanging greetings, Cedric sat on the sofa opposite me.
Even as the teacup was placed in front of him, he just sat silently.
‘Didn’t he come to dissuade Bianca? Or did he forget why he came?’
Tired of waiting for him to speak, I finally broke the silence.
“Cedric, did you come to take Bianca?”
“Right. She ran out during dinner, saying she had something to ask you.”
“That’s so. Then why not take Bianca and go back to your dinner….”
“Bianca.”
Cedric cut me off, his gaze shifting to Bianca.
“So, what did you want to ask the duchess?”
My expectation of Cedric taking Bianca away was once again proved wrong.
Bianca, alternating her gaze between Cedric and me, opened her mouth with a bright smile.
“I just asked Lady Rebecca!”
Bianca’s bright response was followed by Cedric’s forced cough.
“So… you’ve heard the answer?”
“I was about to get the answer when Duke Cedric arrived! But until then, Lady Rebecca said…”
“Said what?”
Cedric’s eyebrows arched momentarily as he picked up his teacup.
“She said that breaking the promise would upset Duke Cedric. But Duke Cedric is okay with it, right?”
“…….”
“You said earlier that it would be fine if Lady Rebecca agrees, right?”
…Cedric said that?
I looked at Cedric with a puzzled expression, but he neither confirmed nor denied, just staring into the distance.
Observing Cedric’s behavior, I soon realized his intention and couldn’t help but snort.
‘Ah… leaving the villain role to me?’
I glanced at Cedric and soon resigned myself to accept the assigned role of antagonist.
‘Honestly, it suits me better than Cedric, after all.’
Even though I convinced myself, it was still difficult to refuse Bianca, whose eyes sparkled with hope.
“Lady Rebecca, can you come back to the Light Mansion now? Right?”
Struggling to speak, I found Cedric just quietly observing me, as if curious about what I would say.
‘He knows exactly what I’m going to say…’
I glanced at Cedric and then slowly addressed Bianca.
“……I’m sorry, Bianca. I think it’s better for me to stay at the Dark Mansion for now.”
Bianca’s eyes, which had been sparkling with hope, slowly dimmed in disappointment.
“So… it’s not possible…”
Ugh, I really hate this. Making Bianca gloomy, and I’m the one to blame…
Frustrated with this role, I turned my head sharply towards Cedric.
But strangely, there was also a shadow on Cedric’s face, cast low.
‘Why? Is Cedric feeling guilty about Bianca, too?’
That thought softened my resentment towards him a bit.
I exhaled deeply and gently stroked Bianca’s head.
“But you’re always welcome here, Bianca. Whenever you miss me, feel free to visit.”
“Okay…”
“You can even stay over at the Duchess’s quarters if you want.”
“Really?!”
“Sure. Why don’t we plan a pajama party just for us?”
“I’d love that, Lady Rebecca!”
Bianca’s smile returned as she snuggled into my embrace.
I held the small, squirrel-like child tightly in my arms.
And then I noticed a faint smile spreading on Cedric’s lips.
At that moment, a servant entered.
“A letter of invitation for Lady Rebecca.”
Mina took the letter first and checked the sender.
Her expression darkened gradually.
“What is it, Mina?”
“It’s… a confirmed invitation from the Dimitri Count’s residence for Lady Rebecca.”
“Dimitri Count’s residence…”
My brow furrowed with unease.
A bad feeling washed over me.
“Could it be that Camilla sent me an invitation?”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
