“I can’t believe that beautiful face has a wicked soul in it! Oh, it’s so sad!”
Who said the last word?
I can hear everything.
I stared at the person who said the last word and pretend to cut my throat with my hand.
Hiik! He freaked out and stepped back.
I left it behind and looked around slowly.
Everyone is looking at us.
This was thanks to Sylvester, who boasts of great dignity as the Duke of Ryzen, and it was also thanks to me, who had a beauty that anyone could not help but acknowledge.
I felt a little better.
“Everyone sees only us.”
At my words, Sylvester glanced down at me.
“Is that good?”
“Is there anyone who doesn’t like being in the spotlight?”
“There is. Me.”
Sylvester said, pointing to himself.
“It’s annoying.”
He had a really twisted expression on his face as he talked. An annoying expression for anyone to look at!
Ugh.
I frowned.
“Yes, yes. That must be tough for you. You’re great Duke.”
“Of course I’m amazing.”
Sylvester replied with a happy smile. It was Sylvester who didn’t notice anything sarcastic remark.
Wow, that’s amazing.
I clapped internally and looked at Sylvester.
“Please know that you’re fighting with such a great person.”
“I want you to know that you’re fighting with me, which is also so great.”
“Will you keep copying me?”
“You say the same thing as I think, so I have no choice but to copy it.”
“Ophelia Ryzen.”
“Yes, why?”
Sylvester inhaled deeply as he puffed out his chest.
“About your first dance with the Crown Prince.”
“Ha?”
I frowned and squinted one eye.
“Are you even interfering with dancing now?”
“It’s not interference”.
“It’s interference. You touched my privacy, you must be crazy.”
“Argh, really!”
Sylvester finally screamed and slammed his clenched hand into the air.
“Dance the first dance with me. After that, I don’t care if you dance with the Crown Prince or not!”
Wow
Why do you insist like this?
Of course, the first dance at the ball is important.
All wives with husbands have to dance for the first time with their husbands. Otherwise, it was no different from openly informing them of their affair.
That’s why Sylvester is so nosy.
‘I have a grand plan to screw Fleur up.’
I didn’t want to give up either.
Callian and I will do our first dance, and Fleur will grab the back of her neck and fall.
“No, I do not want to. I will do my first dance with His Highness the Crown Prince.”
“The Crown Prince hasn’t come yet. So, dance with me first.”
“No, you. You really—.”
“His Highness the Crown Prince is entering!”
At this time, Callian, who was surprisingly like a nobleman, entered.
“Damn it.”
Sylvester frowned as he let go of my hand.
“They said that even a lion would come if I spoke.”
Then I added.
“Oh, of course, the Crown Prince isn’t a lion. It’s just a cute cat.”
Why are you adding an additional explanation?
I looked at Sylvester a little pathetic, then turned my head to look at Callian.
The seat next to Callian is empty.
He entered alone.
“He’s not with Fleur?”
“If they appear together, people will notice.”
Sylvester replied as if it was natural.
“Fleur is a married woman.”
So far it is.
But she will soon be divorced.
The time was just around this time.
And the wedding with Callian, whom Fleur had talked about last time, was on my mind all along.
Something must be done before that— I bit my lower lip.
It was at this time.
“So you were here.”
A shadow fell.
When I raised my head, surprisingly Callian stood in front of me.
What is this?
Why is he here?”
I was wondering and narrowed my forehead slightly.
