“It was sold for 360 million Lest!”
Bang bang bang.
While Rosé was staring frozen at Grand Duke Artyom, ‘Tear of Luna’ was awarded to a noble of unknown name.
For a staggering 360 million Lest.
“Why aren’t you answering? You surely weren’t planning to escape without taking any responsibility, were you?”
Grand Duke Artyom glared fiercely at Rosé like a ferocious beast baring its teeth. Rosé felt a chill from the gaze of the Grand Duke as if he was about to devour her at any moment.
In the face of the Grand Duke’s momentum, Rosé’s palms became sweaty. Rosé, stiffened, looked at the Grand Duke with trembling eyes.
If she can’t say anything here…
‘I might die.’
It’s not for nothing that he was nicknamed ‘the Northern Mad Killer.’ He definitely would’ve hacked people at his whim.
She should answer, but for some reason, her mouth wouldn’t open. Probably because of fear. The dread of not knowing what the Grand Duke might do to her was strangling Rosé.
Rosé’s thin, trembling voice eventually flowed out.
“I, I can take responsibility with my body.”
“Body?”
Rosé, who had her eyes tightly closed while replying, suddenly realized something was wrong.
In her tension, she had said ‘body’ instead of ‘neck.’
The Grand Duke asked back towards Rosé as if confirming a kill.
“Ah…”
Simultaneously, Rosé’s face turned a bright red.
‘I must be crazy!’
In her tension, she misspoke. Foolishly.
“Ah, no, that’s not what I meant.”
Rosé tried to correct herself belatedly, but Grand Duke Artyom seemed to have no intention of listening to her.
“I’m not interested in women with suitors.”
Seeing Rosé floundering, the corners of his mouth involuntarily twitched. However, Rosé didn’t see the Grand Duke’s expression because she was hanging her head in embarrassment.
‘I have to explain. Otherwise, he might misunderstand me.’
Rosé was convinced that the Grand Duke had misunderstood her intention. Then she hastily reached out towards him.
“Grand Duke Artyom.”
But before Rosé’s hand could reach him, Grand Duke Artyom stood up from his seat.
Watching the Grand Duke turn his back without even clearing the misunderstanding, Rosé cried in silence. It was not easy to hold back the man who had turned his back and stood up.
Especially if that man is Grand Duke Artyom.
Rosé had to let Grand Duke Artyom go without even explaining. Unaware that the Grand Duke took her verbal mistake seriously, Rosé tore her hair and wailed.
Without any regret, Grand Duke Artyom left the auction house and headed towards the carriage.
‘It’s unsettling to hear that it’s a fake and buy it.’
He came here to win the ‘Tear of Luna’, but with the auction for it ended, there was nothing left for him here.
‘No, I should’ve just ignored it and bought it.’
In fact, he didn’t fully trust Rosé’s words. Because he had an image of Rosé as an ‘ignorant woman.’
A woman who fell in love and lost all reason, a woman who hurt her parents’ hearts.
And she didn’t even contact her parents first.
Grand Duke Artyom, who had completely left the auction house, shook his head and climbed into the carriage.
The auction was over. There was nothing to change now even if he thought about it. Grand Duke Artyom muttered faintly, remembering the noble who won ‘Tear of Luna’.
“I can give that guy extra money and buy it.”
The Grand Duke nonchalantly spat out the words and stared out the window. The chilly night air seeped into the fastrunning carriage.
“She resembles Lady Serbiat a lot.”
Grand Duke Artyom murmured, recalling Rosé with her large eyes staring at him.
16 years ago, when he first saw Rosé, he thought the same. Rosé, who astonishingly resembled Lady Serbiat, looked exactly like her mother, to the point where no trace of Count Serbiat’s genes could be found.
Though the last time he saw her was 16 years ago, he recognized her at a glance. It seemed that Rosé couldn’t.
“Well, it makes sense that she wouldn’t remember me.”
The Grand Duke recalled the day he visited the mansion at the invitation of Count Serbiat, Rosé’s father. When he first met Rosé, she was poking her head out from behind Lady Serbiat and spoke like this.
‘You’re not a prince…’
‘Oh, Rosé. You’ve been singing ‘prince, prince’ for a week. Come out and greet him.’
‘No… you’re not a prince… Rosé’s prince… doesn’t look like that. Waaah!’
Rosé looked at the Grand Duke’s face, choked, and eventually burst into tears. She said the prince she had imagined was not so frightening.
With her cheeks puffed up in a sulk, the sight of a sobbing Rosé caused a smile to unknowingly bloom on the face of Grand Duke Artyom.
This was because, thinking of his meeting with Rosé, a flood of happy childhood memories rushed back to him.
However, this was momentary, as the Grand Duke’s face turned stern, with not a trace of a smile to be found. His eyes, full of indiscernible anger, ominously glinted.

“Yes, ma’am.”
“I… I think I might have made a mistake with the Grand Duke?”

Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
