There was a prior arrangement with the Duke, and Julius, who came first, seemed to have come to dig into the relationship in detail.
‘What should I do?’
To keep the promise with the Duke, Julius couldn’t just turn him away at the door.
Rose looked at Julius with a troubled expression.
“I’m sorry, what should I do? I have an important conference, and I don’t think I can entertain you as my company.”
Rose politely declined, trying to be considerate.
It should be enough for him to understand by now, but Julius had no intention of leaving Rose’s office.
“A conference? What conference? When is it?”
Julius was a very curious person. He walked towards Rose with sparkling eyes.
“It’s in two days. It’s an important conference regarding my business.”
“Ah, you mean the business with Lucas you mentioned yesterday.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
That should have satisfied his curiosity, right?
Rose gave an awkward smile and sent a look indicating that he should leave now.
“I’m curious about what kind of business it is.”
Ignoring Rose’s gaze, Julius continued the conversation.
“It’s a complex shopping center.”
“I see. I don’t know what it is, but it sounds like an interesting business.”
“When the opening ceremony takes place, I’ll send you an invitation. If the princess graces us with her presence, it will be an even greater honor.”
Even amidst personal emotions, Rose exhibited her entrepreneurial spirit.
‘If Princess Mederion attends the opening ceremony, it will be excellent publicity.’
It was only a matter of time before rumors spread about the Crown Princess Diana of their country and Princess Yulia from another country visiting.
“Are you inviting me?”
Julius asked bluntly as he took the bait Rose threw.
“Of course. Please join us with the Duke.”
‘With the Duke,’ when those words were uttered, Julius’s eyebrows raised with interest.
Initially, Rose wasn’t pleased with Julius’s visit, but unexpectedly, she gained something, and her mood improved.
“But, we really have no relationship with Lucas, right?”
Julius, with a mischievous look, approached Rose.
Rose, looking up at the tall Julius, maintained a firm expression.
‘Yesterday, I said it wasn’t like that…’
Indeed, Princess Mederion still doubted her.
Though they laughed and talked until yesterday, today she seemed more determined to deny.
“I already told you enough yesterday, but it seems the misunderstanding hasn’t cleared up.”
Rose displayed a different atmosphere from yesterday, which was more amicable.
“But I heard a rumor. Yeongae publicly confessed to Lucas.”
Rose flinched at Julius’s words.
She had nothing to say about that rumor.
“I didn’t expect the rumor to spread to the Mederion Kingdom.”
“It’s not that. I found out after arriving yesterday.”
Curious about the relationship between the Duke and her, Julius smoothly approached the maids.
Having heard that Crown Princess Diana and Princess Yulia of other countries visited, it was only a matter of time before their fame skyrocketed.
“Hmm. I’m curious why you keep saying it’s not true. Could it be you’re playing around with our Lucas?”
The attendants, who didn’t accurately grasp the truth, received the rumor like a superficial slice of watermelon.
The attendants, who couldn’t accurately grasp the truth, received the rumor in a superficial manner, like licking the surface of a watermelon.
Upon hearing their words, Julius’s intentions became even deeper.
He was curious about Rose, who kept denying despite confessing.
‘Lucas, trust only this guy. I will thoroughly investigate what kind of woman Yeongae is.’
Julius smiled innocently. However, for some reason, his smile reflected in Rose’s eyes felt somewhat fierce.
“That… It’s a happening due to some personal matters. The Duke also understood my situation and laughed it off.”
“Hmm… So, Yeongae confessed to Lucas because of an unavoidable situation?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“To separate from your ex-husband?”
“Ah… Yes, that’s right.”
Although not explained in detail, Julius understood it perfectly.
Even though he only heard that Rose got divorced, the quick-witted man immediately grasped the situation.
‘So, Serbiat’s Yeongae confessed to Lucas to separate from her ex-husband. Even after explaining the situation later, Lucas still misunderstood Yeongae’s confession as sincere?’
It was an event that couldn’t be understood just by hearing it briefly.
Since the Duke initially misunderstood that Rose liked him, this incident occurred.
“…What did Lucas say after hearing Yeongae’s explanation?”
“I apologized for blocking his way…”
Was it okay to say such things in front of a fiancée?
‘If you marry me.’
The Duke’s voice echoed in her mind.
At that time, Rose didn’t know about the existence of a fiancée, so she could treat it as a story to laugh off.
‘Even though he has a fiancée, saying such things…’
For some reason, she felt a bit displeased with the Duke.
Seeing Rose hesitating to speak, Julius opened his mouth.
“Is Lucas suggesting marriage now that things have turned out this way?”
“!”
Could this person really read people’s minds?
“Ah, don’t misunderstand. I don’t have the ability to read people’s minds.”
Rose’s eyes narrowed even more at Julius’s words.
It seemed as if this statement delved deeper into her inner thoughts.
“I’m just a little quick-witted, that’s all.”
He shrugged his shoulders and smiled confidently.
Looking at Rose, who was staring blankly at Julius, she belatedly fumbled for a response.
“Please don’t misunderstand! The Duke’s words were just a joke. It’s nothing more than a humorous remark about what he would do with you concerning the princess. It’s really not like that!”
Although it was somewhat heartbreaking to pick up the Duke’s offensive remark, in the current situation, denying her relationship with the Duke with all her might was the best option.
Pouring all her strength into denying her relationship with the Duke, Julius finally realized what he had been missing.
‘It seems like he sees Yulia as the Duke’s girlfriend.’
Now, all the puzzle pieces have finally come together.
In this amusing situation, Julius strangely felt pity for his friend Lucas.
‘Poor Lucas. He promised to marry her, but it turns out it’s just unrequited love, right?’
Although it was regrettable, laughter was inevitable.
Julius grabbed his stomach, chuckling heartily in the comical situation.
“…Princess?”
Seeing Rose seemingly shocked, Julius became concerned, wondering if she was truly surprised or just acting.
He laughed heartily in front of Rose for a long time.
Unable to say anything, Rose stared at Julius, who laughed as if he was crying.
After finally stopping his laughter, Julius looked at Rose.
“Sigh. Now I understand why Yeongae found me uncomfortable. Don’t misunderstand. I’m not Lucas’s lover.”
“What?”
Even though they promised a future engagement…
“I’m not even his fiancée.”
“Huh?”
Rose looked at Julius with puzzled eyes.
‘Then who on earth is the fiancée?’
“By the way, Lucas doesn’t have a fiancée.”
“What?”
Rose lost her words and stiffened in place.
The time she spent agonizing alone passed like a torch in front of her eyes.
Everything was a misunderstanding.

One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
