“Welcome to Duke Roget’s mansion party.”
As they got off the carriage, an elderly butler greeted the three.
“For the newcomers to this place, I am Butler Raymond, here to assist you with the mansion tour.”
“Raymond, nice to meet you.”
Duke Roger’s wife kindly greeted.
“The mansion is so beautiful. The Duke can host such a grand party.”
“If the Duke hears that, he’ll be very pleased. Now, let me show you this way.”
Following Raymond, the three took steps.
“First, the lakeside garden, where the Duke has put the most effort.”
Up close, the lake had an unusually deep green color.
In front of the lake, a romantic space reminiscent of a European garden was spread out.
“I would like to sit here all day and enjoy the beautiful scenery.”
The Duchess spared no compliments.
With a light smile on her lips, Lamane, who nodded her head, shifted her gaze to the lake.
Rippling waves swaying gently in the wind.
Even though the scene looked beautiful and peaceful like a painting, a shiver ran down her spine.
A night covered in darkness.
That night when she escaped covered in dirt.
Young Lamane, unable to make a sound, stifled her crying, hearing the screams of family and people from behind.
While silently gazing at the lake, it seemed like screams were coming from somewhere.
‘I shouldn’t look.’
Slowly swallowing her breath, she averted her gaze.
Raymond, who had been explaining while strolling through the beautifully arranged garden for a while, pointed to the mansion with his neatly extended hand.
“Now, let’s enter the mansion.”
Guided by Raymond, they headed inside the mansion.
The large mansion, which was a combination of several Duke Roger mansions, resembled a palace.
Inside the mansion, nobles who had already arrived were gathered everywhere, engaging in conversations.
‘So many people were invited to the party.’
As Lamane realized the true influence of Duke Roget, as they were walking,
At that moment, when Lamane’s gaze stopped at one place, she slowly raised her eyelids.
‘Marquis Haribo?’
Through the passing crowd, Marquis Haribo was visible.
His eyes, which had grown larger, soon found her shape.
‘Marquis Haribo must have been invited as a matter of course.’
It was not so surprising that he was here.
Following Raymond, Lamane received a complete tour of the interior of the mansion, where guests were allowed.
“Today’s party has venues in the central hall and the large garden. Enjoy yourselves in a comfortable place and leave when you please.”
“Raymond, thank you.”
“I should be more thankful for giving me the opportunity to introduce the mansion to such beautiful ladies.”
Raymond politely finished his greetings and left.
Lamane slowly scanned the inside of the central hall.
In the large hall where soft music played, nobles were seated everywhere, chatting and enjoying themselves.
Most of them were people who looked similar to or even older than Duchess Roget.
‘The atmosphere is quite different.’
The party venue in the large garden, more lively than here, was dominated by young ladies and gentlemen.
“I’ll chat with the ladies here. You can enjoy yourselves wherever you feel comfortable.”
As soon as the Duchess’s words ended,
“I’ll go to the garden then. It seems Lady Clarene was also invited.”
Elinna quickly said.
“Sure, go ahead.”
The Duchess, who replied gently, looked at Lamane.
“Lamane, you don’t have to stay by my side. Move around comfortably.”
“Yes, I will.”
The Duchess lightly nodded and headed towards a table in the central hall.
“Lamane, I’m going to the garden. What will you do?”
Elinna asked.
“Don’t worry about me. Move around freely.”
We don’t have to stick together all the time, right?
With that kind of gaze, she smiled and raised the corner of her mouth.
“Okay, then I’ll go.”
Elinna disappeared in an instant.
‘I’ll find a quiet place and sit until it’s time to leave.’
Lamane scanned the central hall again.
As time passed, more and more nobles arrived, filling the party venue.
‘I don’t think it will work here.’
Thinking that it would be better to be outdoors rather than indoors, she was about to turn around.
“Nice to see you again.”
A deep voice gently brushed against her ear from behind.
Having conversed with a man with this voice several times,
“I saw the Duke passing by a while ago. I didn’t greet you first.”
Lamane lightly turned her body and spoke.
“Who greets first doesn’t matter. Since we’ve exchanged greetings like this, it’s enough.”
Marquis Haribo said, folding his attractive eyes gently.
At that moment, Lamane’s eyebrows twitched.
For one reason.
‘Oh, Marquis Haribo has arrived.’
‘Yes, who is the young lady having a conversation with him?’
Along with the murmurs coming from somewhere,
the gaze that inevitably followed him whenever he appeared was felt all at once.
“I’m thinking of going to the garden party venue now. Would you like to come with me?”
Whether someone sees or not.
The man who focused his gaze only on her smiled and whispered.
“…Me?”
Hoping it wasn’t her, she asked.

The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
