“What are you saying now!”
Contrary to Nelia’s voice, which had risen due to surprise, the Duke was utterly serious.
“So it’s not true……?”
“Of course not! When have I ever seen him.”
Duke Hart removed his hand from Nelia’s back.
“One can feel a strong attraction to someone even at first sight.”
“That’s rare.”
Nelia was skeptical about such fateful stories.
She thought that only the protagonists in novels could fall in love at first sight.
Maybe she thought that way because she had lived a very harsh past life.
Living was always an urgent matter, so love was a tale from a faroff land.
Though she now belonged to the nobility, it was hard to change longheld beliefs in an instant.
“That’s not necessarily the case.”
Duke Hart asserted, as if speaking from experience.
“Although rare, there are such encounters. People who suddenly come knocking on the door of your heart.”
His eyes, seen through his slightly lowered eyelashes, were incredibly serious.
‘She’s more romantic than I thought.’
Well, remembering the original work, Duke Hart fell in love at first sight with Charlotte, whom he happened to meet by chance.
However, the female protagonist was supposed to be extremely beautiful.
Could he call it fate, seeing such a thing? He’s just one of the people who like beautiful people.
Nelia remained skeptical about love at first sight.
“So I was worried. The Knight Commander of Helios may be that kind of existence for Nelia…….”
“No.”
Nelia denied it firmly.
“Then why did you keep looking at him?”
“I was curious about the Knight Commander of the Imperial Palace. I never get to see people from the palace.”
At Nelia’s explanation, Duke Hart seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
The grip on her hand loosened slightly.
“So that’s it…….”
Nelia tilted her head.
“Your Grace……. why are you asking me such a question?”
“If you’re willing, would you continue for me?” He didn’t seem like a person with such an intrusive nature.
“Because I dislike it.”
Huh…? What do you dislike?
At his vague statement with no clear subject, Nelia’s brows furrowed.
“I dislike it when Nelia likes someone else.”
Nelia felt a sense of déjà vu at this unexpected statement.
“….Nelia is my maid, after all.”
This man… Is it his style to be obsessed with his employees?
“Anyway, Nelia, you can’t go with him. He’s not as good a person as the rumors suggest.”
Ah, well, I’m not interested in him at all.
Nelia, wanting to stop discussing the Captain, quickly changed the topic.
“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind. I need to clear the table soon. The next guest is coming, right?”
“There’s no next guest.”
“What…? But you clearly said you sent the captain away because a guest was coming…”
You practically chased him away, didn’t you?
“Don’t mind that. Now that it’s quiet, shall we rest a bit?”
Nelia looked at Duke Hart, who was leading her back to the sofa, and thought.
‘What’s really going on with this man?’
[This is the time separator]It was only today that she realized what ‘resting’ meant for him. It meant sitting opposite her and studying her face.
He did ask questions sporadically, but silence prevailed most of the time.
Whenever that happened, Nelia would break the silence first out of awkwardness. It was her turn again.
‘What should I ask this time.’
Nelia rolled her eyes.
Then she remembered what Layton had said.
‘Ask the Duke for me. How the restoration of the necklace that broke that day is going… Also, if anything has been said about me from the prince’s mouth since then.’
She had no intention of helping Layton, but she had some time left and she did have a bit of responsibility…
Nelia asked cautiously.
“Duke, how is the restoration of the necklace going?”
“The restoration is almost complete. I forgot to tell Nelia.”
He had been leisurely leaning on the sofa, but Duke Hart sat upright.
“……And the cost?”
Duke Hart smiled with his eyes closed.
“That’s a secret.”
“But still……”
“You don’t need to worry, Nelia. It’s fortunate that the original stone wasn’t damaged.”
Ugh, just the thought of it was dizzying.
Keeping an eye on Duke Hart, Nelia threw out her next question.
“By any chance……Has Prince Carlos said anything else since then?”
“No. You don’t need to worry.”
Seeing Duke Hart’s harmless expression, Nelia relaxed.
It was Layton who had caused the accident, but she was involved in it too.
Speaking of which, she had totally forgotten one thing.
“The prince didn’t check the video recorder, did he……?”
“Coincidentally, the video recorder was said to be broken that day.”
This really was, did heaven help us?
Nelia felt truly relieved.
But she had no intention of telling Layton about it. He needed to reflect on this event while nursing his wounded heart.
She tried to allure her with Duke Hart’s secret, but it would definitely be a pointless story.
And if it was Duke Hart’s secret, she already knew it. Nelia stole a glance at Duke Hart’s handsome face.
‘This man is the villain?’
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
