Rose, not understanding a word, called Julius.
“P-Princess?”
It was quite challenging to keep up with Julius, who was running at an incredible speed.
Even though she had only taken a few steps, her breath was already labored.
As Rose struggled for breath, suddenly, was Julius not lifting her up into the air!
“Eek!”
Rose’s body floated in an instant.
And, witnessing this, the Duke shouted fiercely, losing his composure.
“Julius!”
The enraged Duke’s voice echoed behind Rose.
Although it might have been puzzling why he was angry, Rose didn’t have the luxury to care about it.
She was even more confused by Julius’s sudden action of hugging her.
In the Duke’s furious face, he stopped abruptly, pointing a finger at Julius.
While Julius, who was running with Rose in his arms, suddenly staggered.
It was the Duke’s magic.
“Duke!”
Using magic suddenly in a crowded mansion!
Neran, who was surprised, grabbed the Duke’s arm and then glared at him with a warm gaze.
It was an unspoken pressure not to use magic anymore.
However, Neran’s gaze had no pressure on the infatuated Duke.
The Duke, blind to love, didn’t feel any pressure from Neran’s gaze.
He quickly approached Rose and snatched her away from Julius.
Julius, who staggered and fell, was supported by Neran.
“Neran, guide Julius to his room.”
The Duke, without waiting for Neran’s response, left the place, leaving Julius behind.
Neran tried to stop the Duke, who was leaving with Rose, but his body wouldn’t obey.
It was because the Duke had cast a spell on him.
“Darn it. My feet are moving on their own!”
Mocking, he supported the unsteady Julius and walked in the opposite direction of the Duke.
In an instant, being embraced in the Duke’s arms, Rose was extremely confused.
Why did the Duke embrace her instead of Princess Mederion?
‘Is it okay to do this in front of his fiancée?’
She wanted to get out of the Duke’s arms before any further misunderstanding occurred.
Before receiving more misunderstandings, she wanted to get out of the Duke’s embrace.
After a few more steps, the Duke turned a corner and willingly let go of Rose.
Rose faced the Duke and stood her ground. The moment she saw his gaze, she flinched involuntarily.
The Duke’s gaze was chillingly cold.
Encountering the Duke’s frosty demeanor after a long time, I found myself tensing unconsciously.
The Duke’s anger towards Julius, who embraced his woman, had not subsided yet.
His frozen expression slowly softened as he spoke.
The Duke murmured Rose’s name.
“Rose.”
His low voice flowed into Rose’s ears.
“I hope you haven’t been getting too close to Princess Mederion.”
“……Pardon?”
Rose’s mouth was sealed by the Duke’s words.
“Can you do that?”
The Duke asked again as if confirming.
Rose, standing still in a daze, nodded in response.
“Uh… Yes.”
With Rose’s answer, the Duke finally smiled, seemingly relieved.
‘Julius, that guy, can’t be fooling around with my woman.’
He had intended to cut off any contact between Rose and Julius from the beginning.
The Duke was grateful to Rose for responding to his words without any further explanation.
“Thank you.”
“It’s nothing. I should be careful.”
Rose’s faint smile trembled at the corners of her lips.
‘Is he worried I might do something to his fiancée?’
Until she knew about the existence of the fiancee, there had been a subtle atmosphere between the Duke and herself.
At that time, she didn’t know, but looking back, it seemed clear.
The signals the Duke had sent her.
The way he treated others and the way he treated her were distinctly different.
He had shown plenty of favoritism.
Enough to cause misunderstandings.
Even Rose had misunderstood.
However, it was all a delusion.
There was no significant meaning in the Duke’s favoritism.
The Duke and Rose hadn’t done anything, and there was nothing between them.
Her heart ached, and an inexplicable bitter emotion surged.
‘I thought the Duke had no affection for me…’
It seemed that Rose’s feelings were not as she thought.
Since the appearance of the fiancee and the Duke’s actions of drawing a line now, she became unsettled.
Duke Arteum nodded in satisfaction, unaware of Rose’s feelings.
Rose was only more wounded by the Duke’s smile.
The Duke extended his hand with a refreshing expression.
“Except for the day you first came to the mansion, it seems you haven’t had much free time. Shall we take a short walk?”
At the Duke’s offer to take a walk, Rose’s head cooled down sharply.
Even with a fiancee, his behavior of giving her room was not pleasant.
Rose promptly rejected the Duke’s proposal.
“I’m sorry, but I’m not feeling well. I don’t think I can go for a walk.”
Her response was colder than ever.
“Where does it hurt?”
The Duke looked at Rose with a concerned expression.
Seeing the Duke looking at her with concern, Rose deliberately lowered her head.
‘Let’s not waver.’
There shouldn’t be any special meaning in that gaze.
It was a gaze born out of an apology for simply pushing through with her pain.

“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
