When Julius left, Rose tried to pour the last remaining wine into her glass, but the Grand Duke took the wine bottle away.
“You’re drunk.”
In response to the Grand Duke’s words, Rose laughed and tilted her head.
Who gets drunk with just two glasses?
Although her head felt dizzy, Rose didn’t think she was really drunk.
“Give it here. Who gets drunk with just this much?”
“Right here, you.”
“Huh? Me?”
Rose chuckled in delight at the Grand Duke’s seemingly insignificant words.
It was clear evidence of being firmly drunk.
“Why tell me not to drink? What’s wrong if I get drunk?”
The Grand Duke sighed softly at Rose’s words.
“Well, because I’m worried about you.”
Worried… Rose stopped laughing and looked at the Grand Duke with her face cupped in one hand.
“So, why would our Grand Duke be worried about me?”
Somehow, Rose’s appearance, intoxicated with alcohol, seemed too defenseless.
With her dress slightly down her shoulders and a seductive gaze.
Julius didn’t want to show this appearance to that bastard.
The Grand Duke thought he should quickly send Rose to her room.
“Let me take you to the annex. Let’s go.”
Without responding to Rose’s words, the Grand Duke stood up from his seat.
Rose grabbed his hand as he rose.
The Grand Duke was very perplexed by Rose’s touch.
It wasn’t like she usually held his hand, but rather, she was stroking his hand with her face against it.
“Hehe…”
For a moment, the Grand Duke’s face turned red.
Her puppy-like appearance seemed too cute.
Moreover, being so proactive with skinship felt somehow stimulating even though it was just a touch.
With a flushed face, the Grand Duke glanced at Rose.
“Let’s go. You’re drunk.”
“I’m not drunk.”
Have you ever seen someone claiming to be drunk say, ‘I’m drunk’?
Rose denied it stubbornly while swaying. Then she forcibly made him sit down by pulling his arm.
Facing each other, she held his face with both hands.
Intoxicated Rose, with her enhanced courage, directly asked the Grand Duke.
“Grand Duke, do you like me?”
At Rose’s direct question, Duke Arthem’s expression twitched for a moment.
Although Rose had expressed her feelings many times, he had never done so.
“So, you’re preparing for marriage.”
The Grand Duke expressed his favor without directly saying he liked her.
Rose burst into laughter again at the Grand Duke’s words.
She had expected it, but hearing it directly made the current situation even funnier.
“Oh, really. Grand Duke, you’re too much.”
While laughing heartily, Rose stopped and said,
“No. You’re getting married without even dating.”
Misunderstanding the Grand Duke’s actions, she had completely misunderstood.
Although she had misinterpreted his impulsive skinship, thinking about it now, it was a perfect misunderstanding.
He had feelings for her, and not only that, but he had treated her as a marriage partner.
As expected, after hearing everything directly from him, Rose somehow felt relieved.
“I… I also like the Grand Duke.”
Rose smiled brightly and lightly kissed his cheek.
“Ugh…”
Her head was throbbing, and it hurt.
Rose, groaning in pain, reluctantly opened her eyelids.
The dark-toned ceiling came into view.
“My head hurts…”
Her head was still spinning, making her feel incredibly dizzy.
However… strangely, did the bedroom feel unfamiliar due to her mood?
‘Was the ceiling originally this dark…’
With a hazy mind, Rose blinked her eyes.
‘Ugh… nauseous.’
Her stomach felt queasy from however much she had drunk.
Her mouth was parched from thirst.
Rose licked her dry lips.
‘Water… where is it?’
Her whole body felt too heavy. It was difficult even to turn her head.
While Rose was searching for water, suddenly something fell onto her body.
‘What?’
It was a lifeless, pale hand.
“Why is the hand here!”
In an instant, she regained her senses.
Following the hand that had risen above her, she turned her gaze.
Along the long and sturdy fingers, a robust forearm was revealed. And…
“Gran… Grand Duke?!”
The Grand Duke’s figure, without anything on his upper body, was visible.
He was still peacefully sleeping, unaware of anything.
Skin revealed beneath disheveled hair.
In an instant, her face drained of color.
‘Why is the Grand Duke… undressed!’
What on earth happened yesterday?
Rose was very confused.
She hastily checked her own body.
‘So, maybe. I’m not undressed, am I?’
Fumbling, Rose examined her body and sighed with relief.
Fortunately, she was still wearing the dress she had worn yesterday.
“Haah…”
In a moment, she was astonished, thinking how shocked she would have been thinking something happened with the Grand Duke.
‘Thankfully, nothing happened.’
Why did she end up sleeping here?
Rose was extremely perplexed.
She quickly examined her own body, relieved that she was still wearing the same dress as yesterday.
“I should leave before the Grand Duke wakes up.”
If she faced the Grand Duke in her current state, he would undoubtedly be flustered.
‘Should have drunk a bit more moderately…’
A sigh escaped.
