“But really, nothing happened. It was a bit annoying afterward, but….”
Odette briefly explained to Louis what had happened.
From the story that she had had a secret meeting with Walter, to the tea party incident.
“So that’s why Regis Xavier was talking about Duke Ertman. I understand.”
“To add in case you misunderstand, Duke Ertman and I have no relationship at all.”
“I understand that as well. Then there’s one thing I’d like to ask.”
Around then, Louis hardened his face slightly.
Rather than a displeased expression, it seemed to emphasize that the question he was asking was not a light one.
“Why did you call me that day?”
And finally, this question fell in front of Odette.
…
…
…
So, did you answer honestly?
The answer is.
‘I couldn’t.’
It wasn’t because Louis was worse than she thought when she finally met him.
‘Rather… He was much more gentlemanly than I thought.’
Odette came to have quite a fondness for Louis as a person.
She had been worried because he had such a frivolous and dissolute atmosphere, but the actual Louis who she had conversed with felt much more serious, and she liked that.
But aside from that.
‘I’m worried about the curse on Count Clovis.’
Louis’s complexion was much worse than she remembered.
It meant that AnneSophie’s words were not an excessive evaluation.
If a curse could make a person like that in just a few days, it was definitely not an ordinary curse, and the reason for the curse would not be ordinary either.
‘It’s too dangerous.’
She could also become a victim of the curse, and even if she escaped the curse, Odette’s desired quiet and peaceful life would be far away.
So Odette decided to postpone the talk of marriage for now.
‘I’ll have to find out a little more about Count Clovis, then bring it up.’
Fortunately, after the tea party, the story that Walter wanted to marry the princess spread, and the marriage talk between Odette and Count Byunghyung had somewhat subsided.
She felt that even if they proceeded with the marriage proposal, it would not be right now.
Thanks to that, Odette, who had to catch whether the binding string was rotten or halfreleased, was given a little breathing space.
And Odette decided to use this gap well to observe Louis.
Fortunately or unfortunately, an appropriate opportunity had also arisen.
Odette picked up the pen she had momentarily set down beside the handkerchief.
And after finishing the letter, she melted the wax, sealed it, and handed it to Ellie.
“Send this to Count Clovis.”
“Have you made up your mind?”
“Yes.”
On the way to escort Odette to the carriage, Louis suddenly asked her.
“[Dash]Will you attend the Xavier banquet?”
“[Dash]Well, I’m thinking about it for now. If I refuse, it might become more bothersome.”
“[Dash]Then… if it’s alright with you, how about I attend as your partner?”
“[Dash]Partner?”
Odette’s eyes widened.
It was an offer that Odette, who had been thinking of making more contact with Louis anyway, couldn’t refuse.
But not for Louis, why the insistence?
Perhaps her thoughts were evident in her expression, as Louis smiled slightly, looking a bit awkward.
“[Dash]Can I let you go alone, seeing such a thing right before my eyes? It might be dangerous. I’m not at ease.”
“[Dash]…Thank you.”
Perhaps it was because she had never received such a favor, but her voice came out a little strange.
“[Dash]But I’m really still considering it, so can I contact you once I decide?”
“[Dash]Of course. I’ll be waiting.”
Louis smiled brightly, and only left his spot after watching Odette climb into the carriage.
His attitude was polished and neat to the end.
Thanks to that, Odette’s assessment of Louis was at its peak.
‘I should check the part about the curse, and it might be good to propose right away.’
And as the first step, Odette decided to attend Xavier’s banquet.
She couldn’t leave Regis, who seemed to be up to something, alone.
‘I also have to check what Duke Ertman is aiming for.’
The things that had veered off track due to Balter’s interference seemed to be gradually getting back on track.
Perhaps it was the relief of meeting Louis, but that day Odette slept soundly for the first time in a while.
There shouldn’t be any more big problems.
[This is a time separator.]“Count Clovis is attending Xavier’s banquet?”
In Duke Ertman’s study, decorated in stable colors.
A surprisedsounding voice came from Balter, who was sitting at the desk.
“Yes. He’s been reclusive for a while due to health issues, but he seems to have recovered quite a bit. Or maybe he’s thinking of seeing someone he was close to, who has returned.”
“Either way, it’s not that big a deal. It would have been a bit bothersome if he continued to be reclusive, so it’s good. Russell, was there an invitation from Xavier?”
“There is. It seems Count Xavier is hosting a grand banquet in honor of his return, so he’s sent them to most of the noble families as a matter of courtesy.”
Regis Xavier always did enjoy luxury, so the scale of this banquet would likely be considerable.
“Will you attend?”
“I have to.”
It’s best to handle such matters quickly.

Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
