Rose went outside to feel the wind. Because of the servant girl’s unnecessary words, things weren’t going well. “Sigh. It’s hard to concentrate when you hear such useless words on the wind.” That I like the Duke. Rose sighed. Somehow, she regretted the extreme measure of using the Duke to separate Eric. “I shouldn’t have said such things in the Royal Palace.” Life in the mansion became quite uncomfortable after confessing her feelings for the Duke. However, it was hard to take back the words spoken. Everything was something she had to endure on her own. “I should gradually become independent.” Now that Eric, who used to cling like a leech, wouldn’t come anymore. Muttering to herself, Rose walked aimlessly. Neran, on his way to the Duke after finishing his work, noticed Rose walking weakly. Watching her stumbling figure, a faint smile unconsciously appeared on his face. ‘Princess Mederion seems to be concerned.’ Although he was, in fact, the Crown Prince, that wasn’t important. From Neran’s perspective, him appearing as Yulia was rather convenient, serving as an important card advancing his plans. ‘He blatantly lied, saying he has no feelings for the Duke.’ My eyes cannot be deceived. Seeing Rose’s weak appearance, Neran was convinced that his thoughts were not wrong. Holding some documents, Neran approached Rose. “You seem exhausted.” Rose’s voice came from behind as she trudged along. At first, it sounded like he was expressing concern, but it was far from it. Rose stopped walking and turned around. Neran was staring at her with a relaxed expression. His expression didn’t feel pleasant at all. “I’m tired from work.” “Ah, I see. My apologies for misunderstanding.” Neran lowered his eyes as if not bothering to listen to Rose’s words. “I thought you were exhausted because of Princess Mederion.” At Neran’s words, for some reason, the air felt stifling. It felt like a sharp stab. Rose’s eyelashes trembled. She, acting nonchalant, composed herself and spoke towards Neran. “I don’t know what you’re talking about when you say it’s because of the princess. I don’t have the energy to listen to useless words. I’ll be going now.” As if she didn’t want to yield to Neran any longer, Rose turned away. At that moment, a rattling sound echoed in the corridor. The very cheerful voice that came through was Julius’s voice. The lively noise was approaching. Julius was running towards them with an extremely cheerful expression. And behind him, the figure of the Duke chasing him was visible. At this point, Neran whispered to Rose. “You two seem to get along well, don’t you? How much do you like each other to happily hang out without caring about the eyes of the courtiers?”
Watching her back, hunched over, my lips involuntarily curled up.
‘Princess Mederion seems to be concerned.’
In reality, he was the Crown Prince, but that wasn’t important.
From Neran’s perspective, it was even better that he appeared as Yulia.
Becoming an important card that would expedite his plans.
‘He shamelessly lied, saying he has no feelings for the Duke.’
My eyes cannot be deceived.
Seeing Rose’s powerless figure, he was convinced that his thoughts were not wrong.
Neran, holding documents, walked towards Rose.
“You seem to lack energy.”
The sound of Neran’s voice came from behind Rose as she staggered along.
At first, it sounded like he was expressing concern, but it was far from it.
Rose stopped walking and turned around.
Neran was gazing at her with a relaxed expression.
His expression didn’t feel pleasant at all.
“You seem tired from work.”
“Ah, I see. My apologies for misunderstanding.”
Neran lowered his eyes, as if not bothering to listen to Rose’s words.
“I thought you were exhausted because of Princess Mederion.”
At Neran’s words, for some reason, the air felt stifling.
It felt like a sharp stab. Rose’s eyelashes trembled.
Trying to act nonchalant, she composed herself and spoke towards Neran.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about when you say it’s because of the princess. I don’t have the energy to listen to useless words. I’ll be going now.”
As if she didn’t want to yield to Neran any longer, Rose turned away.
At that moment, a rattling sound echoed in the corridor.
The very cheerful voice that came through was Julius’s voice.
The lively noise was approaching. Julius was running towards them with an extremely cheerful expression.
And behind him, the figure of the Duke chasing him was visible.
At this point, Neran whispered to Rose.
“You two seem to get along well, don’t you? How much do you like each other to happily hang out without caring about the eyes of the courtiers?”
She immediately averted her gaze and pressed herself against the wall so he could frolic freely.
Rose thought Julius would pass her by. However, he approached Rose, who was standing still without avoiding him.
“We meet again.”
Julius’s voice sounded friendly. Unable to ignore him, Rose turned her head to greet him.
However, without giving her a chance to respond, Julius grabbed her wrist. Then, without end, he started running together with Rose.
