As she was trying to distance herself, Duke Hart’s hand, which had been around her waist, quickly pulled her back, causing her to lean back.
Nelia was startled for a moment, but didn’t fall back thanks to Duke Hart quickly supporting her back.
But there was one problem…
‘… ‘
His face was too close. Duke Hart’s slender hair tickled her forehead as she leaned back.
“I’m sorry for pulling you all of a sudden, Nelia.”
His gentle voice resounded directly in front of her. Startled, Nelia, who was supposed to ask why she was pulled, forgot and pushed the Duke’s chest instead.
“Ba, back off… ”
The Duke straightened Nelia up and released his arm from her waist. For some reason, a light smile was playing on his face.
Nelia, trying to calm her flustered mind, asked casually.
“Is your… foot okay?”
“I wonder.”
The Duke quietly looked down at his foot.
His expression was serious.
Rather than appearing to be in pain, he seemed to be deeply pondering something.
“I’m not sure yet.”
Nelia nodded with an anxious face.
Usually, even if you’re in a traffic accident, you don’t immediately know your symptoms. Aftereffects come later.
Of course, stepping on my foot is not comparable to a traffic accident….
Thinking so, she sneakily glanced down at her own foot. The heel of the shoe was shining sharply.
Nelia squinted her eyes.
“If you don’t know right now, please tell me later.”
“How do I tell you?”
Duke Hart asked, lifting his gaze from his foot.
‘…Come to think of it, that’s true.’
She can’t make a call.
“Please come to Earl Benedict’s house. It’s located at 135 Chante Street in the city.”
Was that the correct address?
As Nelia racked her brain, similar numbers jumped out. It seemed to be correct.
She didn’t feel like giving the address, but she felt guilty about passing over it.
“The mansion is bigger than the buildings around it, so you should be able to find it easily.”
Adding the explanation, Duke Hart squinted his eyes and murmured quietly.
“Chante Street, 135….”
The duke lightly laughed.
“I understand. If anything happens, I’ll go there.”
His smile made her feel nervous, but there was nothing she could do.
She could only suppress her anxiety and nod.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]The tumultuous party came to an end.
‘Ha.’
On the way home in the carriage, Nelia sighed internally as she looked at the round full moon hanging in the sky.
In this unfamiliar world, the moon was the only familiar entity.
In her previous life, she always came home late at night after finishing her parttime job, and she would comfort herself by looking at the moon.
Carlos, Duke Hart, due to the successive incidents, her heart felt heavy and she wanted to find comfort in the moon.
“The Crown Prince was quite a character.”
“Indeed. His mother was a famous opera singer known for her beautiful face……”
The conversation of her parents echoed in the quiet carriage.
“Tch, what a character.”
Layton scoffed.
Contrarily, Nelia agreed with her parents’ words.
‘He was handsome.’
Carlos was the child of Hanatia, a worldrenowned opera singer who came for a tour in the empire, and the current Emperor.
The Emperor didn’t know that Hanatia was pregnant. They had spent a fiery night in a fit of anger.
When Hanatia appeared one day holding a newborn baby, the Emperor was surprised, but it wasn’t all bad.
The Empress had died early due to illness, and there was no son to continue the lineage.
So the Emperor disregarded the opposition around him and gave the opportunity to be the Crown Prince to Carlos, who was born out of wedlock.
Despite being an illegitimate child, Carlos didn’t miss the opportunity given to him.
“Duke Hart also had tremendous dignity. Not to mention his appearance.”
“The duke is quite famous. He’s the only person the Emperor trusts and relies on.”
This time, the conversation continued on the topic of Duke Hart. Listening from the side, Nelia became serious again.
‘Duke Hart.’
Who would have thought they would meet twice at the party….
Then, Lilly put her hand on her cheek and tilted her head.
“But why wouldn’t such a perfect person find a partner….?”
Sean cleared his throat and whispered in Lilly’s ear.
“According to the rumors…….”
