Speaking sweetly, the duke scooped up pudding with a spoon and offered it to me.
It seemed like he wanted me to eat it.
“Do you normally like feeding others like this?”
“Only to someone I have a favorable impression of. I don’t do this for just anyone.”
Unable to refuse, I accepted the pudding, and the duke looked happily satisfied.
His positive emotions were so visibly penetrating the surface of his face that it was fascinating. As I stared intently, he blushed.
“It’s the first time for Lady Arti. The first person to recognize my magic.”
“……?”
“I don’t have any other family members who know magic. My father passed away early, and my mother doesn’t know magic. I’m an illegitimate child.”
“Ah.”
Was he lonely? Saying that, I could understand the kindness he showed me.
“When Lady Arti recognized the essence of my magic, I felt a sense of belonging for the first time since I was born. It’s still an unfamiliar feeling, and my heart is fluttering.”
The duke’s voice melted dreamily.
“Being different from others, exceptionally strong, possessing special powers… It must have been lonely.”
“That’s right! It would have been nice to have siblings, even.”
Around the duke, sea-colored particles swirled and danced. They soon transformed into white foam and turned into beautiful flower petals, falling gracefully from his hands.
“You need to be careful, Lady Arti.”
His white hand approached me, gently tucking the strands of wet hair behind my ear.
“Sirens are dangerous, so prepare some damp cotton. Put it in your ears and lock the doors. If you hear even a syllable, you’ll be enchanted, and there’s no way to stop it.”
It was a romantic warning.
‘He has the skill to casually say scary things.’
While I was gently touching the flower stuck in my ear and lost in thought, I suddenly became puzzled.
The question didn’t linger in my mind but spilled out of my mouth.
“Why didn’t you inform Empress Your Majesty about that?”
“Because I don’t know what Empress Your Majesty looks like.”
…Could it be that he didn’t attend the wedding?
I was momentarily lost for words, but it was understandable.
The Silver Rose Duke I saw was not an ordinary person.
If I had to compare, he had a straightforward heart and a solid inner self, more so than any other person I had met so far.
Although he appeared gentle, his interior was as firm as an iceberg.
‘Above all, those desireless eyes. Such eyes are the most dangerous.’
Being someone who has everything, there’s no need to wish for more. He has never desired anything, never deeply loved anything, never suffered losses, and never experienced unfairness.
Eyes that are perfect and flawless.
Well, with someone like that, whether the emperor gets married or not, he might not have bothered to come down to the capital.
With just one teleportation, he could easily travel long distances without any inconvenience.
“I’ve taken too much of your time, and I’m worried about it.”
“It’s okay.”
“Then, have a nice day. And… if possible, I hope we can meet again tomorrow.”
He escorted me to the entrance and discreetly asked for an after. Since there was no reason to refuse, I nodded my head, looking up at him.
The silver hair, shining as if reflecting sunlight, was beautiful.
The blue eyes below, too, formed a combination that harmonized well with the duke.
“Well, then, I’ll be waiting on the deck tomorrow.”
“What time?”
“Come out whenever you want to see me. Since I’m curious about Lady Arti… I hope Lady Arti is curious about me too.”
It was a flawless flirtation.
If there were a textbook, this would be an excellent dating manual.
The first meeting was not arranged by a matchmaker, so I casually suggested a meal, and through various conversations, we gradually got to know each other.
After showing each other our good sides, he naturally suggested the next step.
He didn’t try to change me, nor did he pry into me. It wasn’t that he had no interest in me, and he wasn’t just incessantly talking about himself; he showed enough curiosity and consideration simultaneously.
I couldn’t figure out where this peculiar man came from.
‘Are all men from the North like this?’
Then, he should have gone to the North instead of trying to find someone in the capital.
“May the afternoon be filled with good fortune.”
At the entrance of the restaurant, he took my hand and lightly kissed the back of it.

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.
