To You Whom I Don’t Love That Much (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 024

At that voice, Rosetta Toulon started and turned around.Unnoticed, a man had approached her closely.Red hair and deep chestnut eyes.If one had to say, he was the likable type, but there was something faintly cruel about his demeanor.Well, who was he? She had seen him somewhere before…

With so many nobles met recently, at some point, she could no longer tell who was who.When looking at Cardier Montrosa, she often felt no particular impression beyond noting that other men’s features were in their proper places.

Oh, right. A greeting. What did Lady Valmont say to do when meeting royalty?Rosetta hurriedly bent her knees in a clumsy curtsy.

“I-I greet Your Highness, the Crown Prince.”

She spoke so quickly she bit her tongue.A sharp pain brought tears to her eyes.Her shoulders trembled.No matter how she thought about it, Leah’s body had no tolerance for pain.In her focus on her own pain, she missed the glint in the Crown Prince’s eyes.
