The execution scene was so brutally depicted, she remembered it clearly. How could she forget such a cruel punishment that she couldn’t even imagine in her original world?
“Ugh… I remembered it again.”
Rosé grimaced at the vivid scene that unfolded in her mind as if she’d actually seen it, and shook her head.
She then blacked out Archduke Artem’s name until it was barely visible.
Rosé didn’t know at the time. That she was going to meet the man she wanted to avoid so badly.
Rosé groaned for a while longer, repeating what the teacher had taught her. After some time, she, who had been sitting motionless in front of the desk, finally put down her fountain pen.
When she looked out the window, the sun was already setting.
“I’m tired.”
She moved her heavy body around and slowly got up from her seat. Then, she walked slowly towards the terrace.
Rosé leaned her arms on the railing and admired the sky dyed red. How long had it been since she’d looked up at the sky like this?
The cool breeze that blew in felt good as it brushed against her body. Rosé gathered her flying hair and slowly braided it.
It was a clumsy job.
In her previous life, Rosé had always kept her hair short. Because it took a long time to dry if it was long, and she didn’t have the energy to take care of it every day.
“Uhm… it’s harder than it looks.”
When the maid did her hair, it was done in a moment, so she thought it was easy. Rosé fiddled with her hair and gave an awkward laugh.
Then, someone knocked on Rosé’s door.
“Madam, the carriage is ready.”
A maid came into Rosé’s room.
“A carriage?”
“Yes. You need to see the gift from the Count, so you asked for the carriage to be ready at 9 o’clock.”
“Oh… did I say that?”
Rosé said to the maid with an awkward smile. That’s because the Rosé who had entered the body didn’t ask the maid for such a thing. It must have been the original heroine who asked the maid.
‘I guess the rumor that she got shortterm memory loss from shock is true…’
The maid looked at Rosé with a pitying look.
‘Poor Countess… The Count seems to be blatantly cheating now.’
The rumor had already spread widely among the maids.
It was quickly known that Doana had been in the Count’s bedroom until late at night.
Moreover, Doana, who was in charge of Rosé, had changed to being in charge of the Count at his request.
“I’ll help you get ready to go out.”
Before Rosé could say ‘it’s okay’, the maid undid her hair and braided it skillfully. It was a stark contrast to what Rosé had done.
She looked at Rosé in the mirror with a satisfied expression and decorated her hair with fresh flowers.
“You look so beautiful.”
The maid took extra care with Rosé’s hair than usual. As a woman herself, she felt sorry for Rosé.
“But 9 o’clock is a rather late time. Do they keep the shop open until then?”
“You said you were going to an auction today.”
“……Right. I’ve been out of it lately.”
Rosé played along with the maid’s words and gave an awkward smile.
“Yes. I’ve kept the invitation separately. Madam.”
The maid presented a palmsized invitation to Rosé. The location, time, and simple description of the auction items were written on the black invitation.
At a glance, the glossy paper clearly felt high quality. As Rosé was checking the list of auction items, a familiar item caught her eye.
‘The Tear of Luna…!’
Rosé grasped the faint memory that came to her mind.
Eric, who had always been interested in handicrafts, had long desired to possess the ‘Tears of Luna.’ Rosé, hoping to score points with Eric, had painstakingly gathered information and successfully bid on it.
However, unfortunately, there was no scoring for Rosé with Eric.
‘Because… it was revealed to be a fake.’
Eric had sent the ‘Tears of Luna’ as a gift to the empress, and it was during this process that it was revealed to be a fake.
Furious, Eric claimed that he couldn’t show his face around because of Rosé, and as she hung onto his coattails apologizing, she ended up tumbling down the stairs.
‘…Even that night, Rosé spent it wordlessly with Eric.’
That was after the main character, Rosé, who was in pain, had sought him out first.
“Um… ma’am?”
A maid called out to Rosé, who was standing blankly.
“…Do I really have to go?”
“Huh?”
Perhaps hearing Rosé’s sigh mixed with words, the maid blinked her eyes wide in surprise.
“You’ve been waiting for this auction for days. The earl will be so happy if you bring back the ‘Tears of Luna’! Love for Lady Rosé will sprout.”
Rosé stared at the maid wordlessly, and the maid murmured with an awkward smile.
“Ha ha… It’s not like the earl doesn’t love you right now…”
That wasn’t how one treated a person they loved.
Rosé looked at the maid, who was checking her reactions and ended her sentence vaguely. The maid, who had been giving an awkward smile, forcefully pushed Rosé’s back, finally sending her out of the room.
‘I might be able to change the earl’s heart this time…!’
The maid clenched her fist as if she had a great mission, pointed at a young man standing immaturely, and said,
“Sir Serun will accompany you as your escort.”
“My name is Serun, ma’am!”
With a rather nervous expression, he bowed to Rosé. A young man who looked just about 20 years old.
“Please take care of me.”
At Rosé’s greeting, Serun’s face turned beet red. Accepting Serun’s escort, Rosé climbed into the carriage. Inside the moving carriage, Rosé stared out the window and pondered.
“What should I buy…”
She couldn’t go all the way to the auction and come back emptyhanded… but she also wasn’t keen on buying a fake.
As she was contemplating, the fastmoving carriage gradually slowed down and stopped. The coachman’s voice announced their arrival from outside the carriage, and Serun opened the door and reached out to Rosé.
“We’ve arrived, ma’am.”
Rosé took Serun’s hand and slowly descended the carriage steps. Looking around, Rosé surveyed the auction house. It didn’t seem to be a secretive auction.
When Rosé showed her invitation to the man at the entrance, he handed her a round number plate.
The plate had the number ’38’ written on it.
‘Is it the seat number?’
Rosé entered the auction house and started looking around for her seat.
‘Huh? Someone’s already sitting there.’
Another man was sitting in her spot marked ’38’. Rosé slowly approached the man.
“Ma, ma’am? Why are you going there?”
Hearing Serun’s distressed voice calling her, warning her not to go there, Rosé seemed to pay it no mind. She was thinking it was strange that only the area around her seat was completely empty.
‘Isn’t it first come, first served for the seats?’
As she was tilting her head and walking, Rosé tapped the shoulder of the man sitting alone.
“Excuse me, but this is my seat.”
Rosé said, showing the number plate to the man. The man, who had been sitting in Rosé’s seat, frowned and turned his head.
With icy blue eyes, he slowly looked at Rosé.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
