“Your Highness, Lady Ferner is probably not someone who would go that far. Besides, generally, women tend to appreciate men who maintain proper manners, right? As long as I keep an appropriate distance, there won’t be any incidents that you need to worry about.”
I tried my best not to laugh. While doing so, I did my best to reassure Klaus.
However, he chuckled and said, “Hey, Museel.”
“Yes.”
“Have you ever dealt with women in high society?”
I answered honestly, “I met Lady Eveline.”
“See, you lack experience too.”
Neat dismissal. Wasn’t Eveline also a woman in high society?
“Okay. How do you think women in high society are?”
Thinking of the romance novels I’ve read, I replied, “Elegant, striving to maintain dignity, adept at forming factions, and sometimes plotting conspiracies in secret.”
“That’s not entirely wrong, but you see.”
Klaus stood up. Then he moved beside me.
His violet eyes, looking directly at me, came closer.
“They are quite devoted to desire more than you might think.”
A strange atmosphere flowed, and I involuntarily swallowed.
He smiled meaningfully.
“Do you know how men and women in the capital engage in conversation?”
“Drinking… tea, right?”
I managed to answer calmly in the suddenly changing atmosphere.
“Ah, tea. Right. That’s true.”
My face was gradually getting warmer. Too close, really too close!
Klaus’s violet eyes narrowed slightly.
“Musel, don’t be so flustered by just this. What if someone as innocent as you faces women in high society? Can you really just quietly sip tea?”
Damn it, I couldn’t avoid his gaze!
His voice had also lowered as if whispering.
“Holding hands and making eye contact like this is also a skill in conversation. To get what you want from the other person, you have to make this much effort.”
“Understood, Your Highness.”
Truly, sincerely, seriously, I understood.
Thanks to Klaus personally teaching me conversation skills, my face was about to burst just before it happened.
But what he said next was even more absurd.
“Museel, have you ever kissed?”
“Yes? No, not really…?”
Klaus’s lips twisted strangely.
“Really?”
“Yes…”
For some reason, feeling embarrassed, I slightly lowered my head.
The hand that Klaus placed on top of mine gradually exerted more pressure.
“But wearing men’s clothes like this must make it even more difficult.”
I desperately responded, pretending to be nonchalant.
“Human affairs are unpredictable. If you happen to meet an assertive woman like Lady Ferner, maybe an accident could…”
“Ha, that’s not going to happen.”
His gaze turned fierce as if something was amiss.
“Museel.”
“Yes, yes…!”
Suddenly, I felt scared by his intensified violet eyes. Did I make some mistake?
However, what he said next was completely unexpected.
“I guess I should be the first instead.”
“…?”
As my white hair was earnestly trying to figure out what he meant, he asked, “Do you dislike it?”
“…?”
He kept asking questions, making it hard for me to think properly. I just kept making silly noises.
Instantly, his lips formed an enchantingly beautiful curve.
“Seems like you’re not refusing.”
“……!”
What.
What just happened?
I blinked my eyes in confusion.
A soft and warm pressure pressed against my tightly closed lips, bringing in the familiar fragrance of the person I liked into my breath.
For a moment, my thoughts came to a halt.
“…….?”
“…….?”
The weight on my lips gradually lightened, and he stared into my eyes again.
“But, this one wasn’t real.”
Then, what in the world does that mean?
However, before my questions could turn into words.
“!”
Klaus’s lips attacked me like lightning. He took advantage of my surprised open mouth. Before I could figure out what to do, something had already invaded inside.
Soon, he slowly withdrew. His violet eyes sparkled as if moistened.
“…Wasn’t bad, was it?”
I messed up.
My first kiss.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
