“Lady Rosé Wens.”

In a low voice, he called out Rosé’s name. The Grand Duke, who had been glancing at her, subtly turned his gaze away.

“Your clothes are all wet.”

The wet uniform was sticking damply to Rosé’s body.

As her figure was sensually revealed, Grand Duke Artyom found it somewhat embarrassing to look at her directly.

Only then did Rosé check her own condition.

‘Ah… I must have spilled water when I dropped the cup earlier.’

She was soaked through. Rosé lifted her wet clothes slightly with her thumb and forefinger and muttered.

“Oh, it’s fine. I think it should dry out…”

It was not hot liquid that she had spilled, it was just something that needed to dry. Rosé bowed her head and lightly shook out her clothes.

‘I’ll dry off soon enough if I keep wearing them.’

After lightly shaking off her clothes, Rosé raised her head towards the front. And then,

“……Your, Your Grace?!”

Unexpectedly seeing the Grand Duke’s appearance, she let out a cry without realizing it.

The Grand Duke, who had been properly dressed just a moment ago, was now undressing his top!

Rosé’s face flushed hotly. She could not hide her flustered expression and covered her face with both hands.

Whether Rosé was surprised or not, the Grand Duke, who had unbuttoned the last button by now, completely took off his shirt.

Rosé was peeping at the Grand Duke’s figure through her fingers. Her lips had gone dry.

‘I don’t know where to place my eyes.’

The upper body of the Grand Duke visible through her fingers. It was a perfect figure, like a sculpted statue.

He approached Rosé, wearing only his trousers.

The Grand Duke, holding his shirt in one hand, was approaching. It seemed that Rosé was the only one who felt embarrassed in this situation.

Flutter.

The white shirt fluttered up into the air and fell precisely over Rosé’s head.

“Ah……”

“Wear this.”

The Grand Duke spoke indifferently and immediately turned his back. His ears, now turned back, were somewhat red.

‘Is he giving it to me so that I don’t show?’

She couldn’t help but be surprised by his unexpectedly kind action.

This was not the first time she had seen an unexpected side of the mad Grand Duke.

‘He took care of me at the last party, too.’

The Grand Duke’s consideration was not bad. However,

‘I could just put on a robe……’

Rosé glanced at her robe on the sofa.

‘But it would be rude to reject the kindness of the Grand Duke who even took off his shirt, right?’

Rosé decided not to ignore the Grand Duke’s kindness. If she refused in this situation, the Grand Duke would be embarrassed.

She wore the Grand Duke’s shirt over her uniform.

The inside of the uniform was quite damp, but she couldn’t take it off because it was a dress. And it was awkward to ask for pants, too.

The Grand Duke’s shirt was too big for the petite Rosé.

The sleeves of the shirt flapped over her fingers. The hem of the shirt reached below her hips, making it look like a loose dress.

“Thank you. I’ll wash this and return it.”

Hearing Rosé’s voice, the Grand Duke, who had been turned away, turned his body.

His eyes, looking at Rosé, shook slightly.

Even though she had certainly concealed the revealing lines…

‘Why… is it more provocative?’

It should become duller the more it is concealed.

Seeing Rosé wearing his shirt. Seeing her figure, something prickly blossomed inside him.

Rosé and the Grand Duke made eye contact. The moment he faced Rosé’s transparent violet eyes, nothing else came into the Grand Duke’s sight.

Only Rosé filled his view.

The ticking of the clock stopped. The curtain that had been fluttering next to the halfopen window also froze in midair as if gravity had disappeared.

The silence inside the reception room was as if the flow of time had been cut off.

A strange distortion as if all time had stopped.

What on earth was happening, it wasn’t as if they were under a spell.

The Grand Duke was full of strange doubts, not knowing that all his nerves were directed towards Rosé.

Rosé’s violet eyes, shining adorably.

Her long eyelashes, moving along her eyelids, moved extremely slowly.

Rosé, wearing a white shirt and sweeping her hair behind her ears, her small, moving lips created a strange atmosphere.

‘Was Lady Wens… this kind of woman?’

Rosé felt uncomfortable at the Grand Duke, who was just staring at her without saying anything.

‘I really don’t know what he’s thinking.’

She gave him an awkward smile as she looked at the Grand Duke.

The slightly curved eyes and deeply sunken dimples.

Looking at the flawlessly clear Rosé, the duke felt an uncomfortable sensation in his chest.

‘How suffocating. I wonder if it’s due to the food I ate at lunch.’

Clutching his uncomfortable chest, the duke gazed at Rosé.

Rosé shrunk under the intense gaze of the duke.

Even though she had done nothing wrong, her heart shrunk to the size of a bean in front of him.

It was hard for her to endure the cold gaze of the duke who was looking at her without saying a word.
