As Rosé finished speaking, one servant carefully opened the door and entered. He was surprised to see Doana in Rosé’s room.
‘What a brazen woman.’
Carrying on a relationship as if to mock Rosé, who knew nothing. He shot a fierce glance at Doana and bowed to Rosé respectfully.
“You have received an invitation, Madam.”
“An invitation?”
At the servant’s words, Rosé tilted her head. Strange. In the novel, Rosé never received an invitation or anything like that.
‘Can’t I remember? I thought Rosé was definitely a loner in social circles, looking only at Eric without any interaction.’
“Oh, what’s that?”
Before Rosé could take the invitation from the servant, Doana snatched it. She felt that the servant’s gaze on her wasn’t pleasant.
‘How dare you look at me like that? As soon as I become the countess, you’re fired.’
As if she was already a countess, she gave the servant a haughty look and began to read the invitation.
“You are invited to the party to be held in ten days.”
Upon hearing Doana’s voice, Rosé’s eyes widened.
“What’s this?”
Doana shook the invitation with an expression that seemed very interesting.
“They are inviting me to the party.”
“A party? What happens there?”
“You just dress up beautifully and go there to socialize.”
The dressing beautifully probably refers to the kind of dress that Rosé is wearing. Doana couldn’t hide her smile as she imagined herself in a dress.
She was sure that she would be the most beautiful at that party.
“It sounds fun. Let’s go together!”
It was laughable that Doana was making assumptions about being taken along when Rosé had no such intention. Rosé spoke as if soothing a child.
“What can I do? I’m sorry.”
“Huh? What are you sorry for?”
“You can’t go.”
“Why?”
Doana’s expression hardened drastically. It was unexpected. She thought she could certainly go, but she heard the word ‘no’ from Rosé’s mouth.
After a moment of stunned silence, Doana cleared her throat and spoke gently to Rosé.
“What’s the point of having a friend? To use them in times like this.”
As if doing a favor, Doana spoke to Rosé.
“I’ll go with you. Someone timid like you won’t be able to approach people first…… I’m worried that you’ll just waste time alone in the corner.”
Her voice was soft, but it was prickly. She spoke while affectionately holding Rosé’s shoulder.
“It’s better to go with me. Unlike you, I can get along without hesitation even with strangers.”
Rosé found Doana, who was trying to convince herself to go to the banquet, funny. She barely held back a laugh at the sight of her not hesitating to belittle her subtly.
“I’m sorry. I’d like to, but only invited people can go to this party.”
“So if I say I’m your friend and go with you, it’s not possible?”
“It’s possible to go together but……”
Rosé looked at Doana with her sentence trailing off.
“Only nobles can go there. Maids can’t.”
“What……?”
Rosé showed regret towards Doana.
“You’ll only be turned away at the door if you go…… Oh! Or do you want to go as my maid? If you serve me, you can get into the banquet.”
As if there was no ill will, Rosé suggested innocently with an innocent expression. Doana frowned as if she was upset by Rosé’s attitude.
‘A maid? Daring to ask me to serve, when I’m about to become the countess?’
She had no intention of going as a maid.
“You’re not upset, are you? I was just thinking about you.”
Rosé touched her lips with one hand and looked at Doana carefully. To emphasize that there was no malice.
“The proverb goes, ‘Three years spent in a village school will have even a dog reciting poetry.’
Rosé found it amusing that she could mimic Doana’s behavior. She used to behave like a bear in her past life, and now she was imitating a fox.
“It’s not that I feel bad……. I’m just regretful.”
Upon Rosé’s action, Doana could not say a word, just giving a cold smile.
‘What a pathetic girl.’
Doana swallowed the swear words she couldn’t utter in Rosé’s face.
Doana was strong towards the weak but infinitely weak towards the strong. As Doana, who had to dig up information from Rosé’s side, she could only appease her.
Rosé gave Doana a sly smile and picked up the invitation in her hand.
‘Let’s see who the invitation is from.’
Rosé slowly read down the invitation. The invitation details were already read by Doana. In ten days, 6 pm…
“…Huh?”
Checking the invitation, Rosé had to doubt her own eyes when she saw the sender. Because he, who they didn’t see face to face even once in the original work, had sent her an invitation.
“This, why is this person inviting me?”
Rosé recalled the face of the man she had met recently and had to swallow hard. Would their connection not end with just one meeting?
“Grand Duke Artyom…….”
The one who had sent an invitation to Rosé was Grand Duke Artyom, whom she had met at the auction house.
