First of all, she had to make her dreams of becoming a wealthy man come true.
Then, she decided that she would have a proper relationship after attaining that dream.
Anyway, she felt a little relieved.
It was her first kiss ever, so it should be natural to react like this.
Yeah, this nauseous feeling had nothing to do with Duke Kyar.
Isabella could not fall asleep despite defining her emotions.
Furthermore, she felt pain and agony from the flame-shaped wound on her shoulder that she was forced to endure until dawn.
In the end, Isabella had fallen asleep too late that she had woken past her usual schedule.
“Come on, Lady Isabella. Please wake up.”
Mei called her name desperately, and that woke her up.
Isabella got up from the bed and rubbed at her eyes that could barely keep themselves open.
“You just woke up now, My Lady. Are you exhausted?”
Mei asked, and Isabella shook her head slowly.
“No, you are calling me for breakfast, right? I’ll wash up and go down.”
“Yes, my Lady. I will inform His Highness.”
She was already uncomfortable thinking about eating face-to-face with Duke Kyar, and there was no way she could avoid it because it had become a habit.
After sobbing in her bed, Isabella went straight into the bathroom.
Isabella washed her long hair quickly and tied them up before leaving the room solemnly.
It will be alright.
It will be alright.
It will be alright.
Everything is going to be okay.
Isabella cited these words like a mantra before entering the restaurant.
Then she witnessed Duke Kyar eating elegantly with his handsome face.
“I’m finally here.” She aimed for calmness, but Isabella’s countenance turned awkward as she looked at him.
Duke Kyar appeared calm as if he had completely forgotten about the kiss they had shared yesterday.
Isabella felt self-conscious all of a sudden.
Was she the only one embarrassed because of that kiss?
“Enjoy your meal, Your Highness.”
“Okay.”
He said evenly without glancing in her direction.
It was bizarre.
Was she already used to his gaze after constantly staring at him?
Isabella got uncomfortable every time he did that.
“Will it be over after you acquire all the ingredients you finalized yesterday?”
Isabella gave Duke Kyar a puzzled look before lowering her head and speaking calmly. “Yes, that’s right.”
“Are you going to leave as soon as you make the antidote?” Duke Kyar asked dully, and she nodded in response.
“I will leave Rubella Castle if there are no other mishaps.”
