“May I have this dance?”
“With me?”
Rosé sent an awkward smile to the Grand Duke who held her. The Grand Duke knew Rosé was uncomfortable with him, but he had no intention of letting her go.
“Yes.”
“…I was planning to dance the first dance with my husband.”
It wasn’t true, but shouldn’t she sell her husband out at times like this? Upon hearing Rosé’s words, the Grand Duke glanced around the ballroom.
“Your husband is already dancing with another woman.”
When Rosé turned her head toward the Grand Duke’s gaze, sure enough, her husband was dancing with another woman.
‘You’re such a useless man, really.’
Rosé, left with no more excuses, awkwardly held onto the Grand Duke. She thought she should dance quietly without offending his mood, then disappear.
“Clumsy.”
She couldn’t help it. She was new to the ‘waltz.’
‘I never did this in Korea.’
She had learned the waltz in a hurry in the short time after being invited by the Grand Duke, so her posture was quite clumsy.
Rosé stumbled over her steps. Stepping on the Grand Duke’s feet was the least of it, and she bumped her head into his chest more than three times.
Every time she did, Rosé swallowed nervously, glancing at the Grand Duke. She was afraid that the mad Grand Duke might toss her around.
She wanted to say she would stop right then, but Rosé, standing in front of the Grand Duke, who was said to scare even the birds, could not easily open her mouth.
Rosé gave an awkward smile and looked at the Grand Duke Artem standing in front of her. His seemingly unstyled natural blonde hair fluttered above his eyebrows.
‘I only thought he was scary…’
Although he had a fierce look, he was quite handsome.
The beautiful melody began to fade. Contrary to her worries, the first dance ended smoothly.
‘I’m relieved. At least, I don’t think I made any big mistakes?’
With a sigh of relief, Rosé politely bowed to the Grand Duke Artem, then quickly left the spot.
A dark shadow cast over Rosé, who had moved to a corner of the ballroom.
“Dancing with the Grand Duke with such skill.”
The owner of the sharp voice was none other than Eric.
“You don’t seem ashamed, do you?”
He looked at Rosé with a very displeased expression, whether he had seen Rosé stumbling while dancing or not.
To be exact, he seemed angry.
“Heh, you saw it?”
Murmurs from the crowd could be heard.
“It’s a shame. Maybe it’s because she didn’t have a debutante, her waltz isn’t that good.”
“I couldn’t even come out with such skill.”
The sneers directed at Rosé. Perhaps Eric considered Rosé’s behavior as belittling his dignity.
Even if their relationship was superficial, it was a fact that Rosé was a member of the Viscount Wence’s family.
‘I shouldn’t have brought such a woman.’
Regretting his decision to attend the Grand Duke’s banquet, Eric led Rosé out of the ballroom.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]“Be reasonable.”
In the pitchblack darkness, Eric’s eyes staring at Rosé were quite sharp.
“What are you talking about?”
“Why are you suddenly doing something you never did? What about that grotesque waltz?”
Eric frowned annoyingly and looked at Rosé.
“I guess you asked the Grand Duke to dance to show off because I danced with another woman. But stop the foolish act. I’m not interested in you no matter how hard you try.”
At Eric’s last words, Rosé felt like her breath stopped for a moment.
‘Stop it. No matter how hard you try, I’m not interested in you.’
The words that Dohyun stabbed into her heart like a dagger in her previous life came to mind again.
Rosé just stared blankly at Eric, unable to say anything. Looking at him with trembling lips and unfocused eyes, Rosé looked quite empty.
Seeing the wavering gaze of Rosé, Eric flinched. He thought he might have pushed her too hard when he saw her shocked at his words.
He thought he should soothe her a little before she tried to get his attention with another pointless act. Thinking so, Eric softened his sharp voice and looked at Rosé.
“I admit, I’ve been rather indifferent towards you lately.”
He played with Rosé’s neatly braided hair, then untied the ribbon that was holding her hair.
Startled, Rosé clutched at her hair that had been let loose.
“What are you doing?”
“Haven’t I always told you? It’s better to let your hair down at night.”
Eric’s hand, which had been stroking Rosé’s face, slowly descended. He gently, slowly, brushed Rosé’s hair.
But that was only for a moment, Eric grabbed Rosé’s hair tightly.
“Let go.”
“You like this too, don’t you.”
What does he mean…?
Rosé, who had been blankly staring at him, suddenly came to her senses. She understood what the Earl was trying to do.
Rosé was horrified at the sight of Eric, who was looking at her with halfclosed eyes.
‘He can’t possibly… here?’
It was late in the evening and dark, but the garden where Rosé and Eric were was a place where people could pass by at any time and it wouldn’t be unusual.
This crazy man’s face was already flushed with whatever thoughts he had.
