“Your Majesty, reconsider the marriage? Duke Ertman is not a good man.”
“I know. But I don’t see why I should hear this from you. It’s not your concern anymore.”
“Do not be so sure it does not concern me.”
Louis began to step closer to Odette.
The man with conspicuously colored hair even in dim light looked worn out.
After hesitating several times, he finally asked.
“Isn’t it possible to find another suitor now? Like… me?”
“…Are you joking, Count?”
“It’s not a joke. Wasn’t I the one you initially wanted?”
“That’s true, but I plan to marry Balter now.”
She had already finalized the talk of marriage with Balter.
More so, the Emperor had even announced their wedding.
Who would listen if she said she wanted to change her groom now?
It was not only impossible but also unnecessary.
“I can’t betray my husband. Let’s pretend this conversation didn’t happen.”
At Odette’s firm words, Louis’s face twisted instantly.
The moment the word ‘husband’ was mentioned.
“Do not call that kind of person your husband! Why don’t you know anything?”
“What are you saying?”
Confused by his incomprehensible words, Odette frowned. At that moment, Louis suddenly grabbed her arm.
“I know my words may sound strange, but just listen for a moment.”
“Count Clovis?”
Odette’s eyes widened in surprise as she was suddenly grabbed.
“Balter Ertman, that man is deceiving you! Please, just listen to me—”
Then,
“I really can’t take my eyes off you for a second.”
The grip on Odette’s arm was suddenly released.
Upon opening his eyes, there was the face he had been eagerly waiting for.
A face now all too familiar, cold and sharp.
“My princess, you’re not even three years old yet, and leaving you alone for a moment leads to a situation like this… Or did you purposely wish to see me lose my composure?”
Walter, muttering cynically, grabbed Louis’s arm and threw it off.
In the aftermath, Louis staggered back a few steps and scowled.
“……Ertman Duke.”
“Wa, Walter.”
“Yes, princess. Your promised companion is here, so why are you mingling with another man?”
“It’s not like that. Here—”
Just as Odette was trying to explain, Louis’s sharp voice sliced through the conversation between the two.
“Walter Ertman, don’t interfere. Can’t you see we’re in the middle of a conversation?”
“I don’t know about a conversation, but don’t you see a marital reunion? Seems like the one who shouldn’t interfere is you.”
“A marital reunion?”
The one surprised by Walter’s comment was actually Odette.
Was it appropriate to call themselves a married couple when they hadn’t even had a wedding ceremony yet?
As Odette was at a loss for words, Walter gave her a loose smile and brushed her cheek with the back of his hand.
“His Majesty the Emperor has already announced our marriage, so we’re a couple. What else would you call it?”
“That’s true, but…”
Isn’t the term fiancée usually used for situations like this?
Odette was even more confused by Walter’s confident claim.
As she tilted her head in bewilderment, Louis brushed back his disheveled hair and emitted a sharp sarcasm.
“Hah, what marriage. Until the ceremony, it’s uncertain, isn’t it?”
You never know what could happen in life.
“To say you’re a couple from the get-go seems laughably premature.”
“True, it’s worrisome. Even turning away for a moment leads to a mess like this.”
“If anyone dares to lay a hand on her, I plan to sever that hand first. Keep that in mind, Count Clovis.”
At this, Louis’s face twisted.
“Do you think I’m unaware of the lies you’ve told me? Does Odette also know what you’re up to?”
“Just because both light and shadow exist in the world doesn’t mean one needs to look into both.”
Needless provocation.
With that cynical addition, Walter took Odette’s hand.
“No need to engage further. Let’s go—”
“Walter Ertman!”
Just then, as they were about to leave, Louis shouted out with a suppressed voice.
“Why are you by Odette’s side!”
Walter’s steps abruptly halted.
He seemed to ponder for a moment, then turned to face Louis.
With a cold and piercing smile.
“Isn’t it obvious? Because I love her.”
“……!”
“I hope that’s a sufficient answer.”
With those final words, Walter left with Odette.
Leaving Louis alone in the darkness.
