A few days later, I was processing the invitations addressed to me as usual.

Oh, this drink is delicious.

I took a sip of the drink Livya gave me.

Livya smiled contentedly seeing my reaction.

Still, the alcohol is suprisingly strong, so drink it slowly.

I glanced at Livya. She was pretty today as well, and she gave off the scent of a luxurious perfume that was in fashion these days.

I sighed silently. It was truly a great pity to her enemy if she was in the princess side.

What can I do for you?

Livyas voice turned sharp as there was someone approaching us.

I also turned my head.

It was a guy who Id never seen before. He was a man with a slender build in a black suit. His fox smile gave off people the feeling of intimacy.

I didnt know this guy, but Livya seemed familiar with that face. The hostility that appeared on her face was rather sharp.

Oh my, I apologize to disturb you, ladies.

Apologize accepted, then you could leave, Count Bill Curtis.

Bill Curtis? I frowned. It was familiar name. It was the sender of the strange love letter.

Despite Livyas cold reaction, the man still has a smile on his face.

Im sorry, but I have a matter to discuss with you companion, Lady Priscilla.

What is it?

Its an honor to meet you, Lady Fiona Heilon. Please call me by my name.

I blew my nose at that cheap trick.

I dont think thats going to happen. As far as I remember, this is the first time Ive met you. Right, what is it?

Have you received my letter sometimes ago?

Yes I got it. But I think my respond has been clear enough.

By not replying at all.

Could you spare me a moment of your precious time?

Why was this guy suddenly interested in seeing me? This was annoying. I think I could understand why Livya didnt like this guy very much, because now I found him very unpleasant.

I wanted to know what matter this guy had, but I felt sorry for Livya as it would a bother for her.

Okay, but only for a moment.

It was not a good thing for a noble lady to be alone with a man she didnt know well and who had a crush on her. However, because it was me who was the noble lady, I could make an exception since I had the power to suppress the bad things that could possibly happen. If he was going to do something sinister, I could just grill him a whole

Wait, wasnt that too much? Gosh, I felt like my mind was getting a little radical as the days went by.

Bill Curtis and I arrived at the terrace.

It seemed like you dont understand. So, Id tell you in advance, Count Curtis. Not replying itself was a refusal.

I know.

You knew that yet why did you call me, you bastard?

But I still want to have just one intimate talk.

I crossed my arms. Hopefully, that intimate matter wont test my patience.

Sure, what is it?

Bill Curtis grinned.

I know Lady Fiona very well.

I almost flinched as if something was poking me. But I answered sarcastically with my calm face.

What? The fact that I am an illegitimate child? Oh lord, there are many people who talk about that as my weakness.

He paid no attention to my hard attitude.

No, not that kind.

Anyway, I cant be bothered by these words.

I asked irritably. Then what do you know?

Bill Curtis smiled and held out his hand.

If you come with me, I will let you know.

What the fuck.

My lady, Ive already written it in the letter. If we are together, we could do everything in this world. Please, make a wise choice.

This guy was the type of a person who could not be swept away just once move.

I could see why Livya was so hostile.

I dont need it, and I dont care. Im going, Count.

Bill Curtis let out an exaggerated sigh.

Its a pity. Then please accept this.

He pulled out a black envelope from his chest.

If its a letter, I dont need it

I wanted to return to the hall quickly, so I took the invitation letter and turned around.

Then I heard Bills voice behind my back.

My lady, please think about it. At least, Ill be worth a lot more than His Highness if Im the one who is on your side.

So now, he dared to talk about the value of Sigren?

I turned around. Hearing what youve said changed my mind.

Bills face lit up. Did you decide to go with me?

No.

I smiled.

shriek

I tore the invitation I was holding in half.

For the first time, a look of bewilderment appeared on Bills relaxed expression. I guessed he didnt expect I would react like this.

I dropped the torn invitation to the floor and smashed it with my heel. Then I smiled a rather arrogant smile that Abel often did.

This is my answer.

I gave a cold warning. If you ever again try talking about the value of the prince one more time, I wont let it go.

I turned around without looking back.

Tak Tak

The sound of my high heels as I stepped forward in anger resonated clearly in the hallway.
