Chapter 150

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Miss’s baby wolf suddenly started running wildly somewhere. I thought about catching it, but…”

 

The maid spoke with worried eyes.

 

“I remembered that Miss told us not to catch it in such cases, so I just left it alone.”

 

“Yes, yes. You did well.”

 

“Yes.”

 

The maid who had been anxiously worried finally showed a relieved expression after hearing my words.

 

‘The delegation from the Kingdom of Lupinus must have arrived.’

 

That’s why I had already instructed the court lady earlier, and my little mutt, namely ‘Klkli’, that if it ran off somewhere, don’t bother catching it and just leave it be.

 

I looked at the mirror and stamped my sharp heel once firmly on the floor.

 

The maids flinched at the terrifying sound that seemed like it would dent the floor, but I was only inwardly satisfied.

 

‘Good.’

 

I’ll definitely crush that Second Prince bastard’s foot somehow.

 

Having such thoughts, I suddenly felt like I missed Leon Frazier.

 

That steel-like body.

 

That tall height.

 

That jet-black hair.

 

The twins had returned to the academy from the capital mansion just a few days ago, precisely just two days ago.

 

To be exact, they were driven away.

 

By whom?

 

Tulia Frazier. By me.

 

Both of them insisted they could return to the academy after seeing my debutante, but I worked hard to stop them.

 

The reason was just one.

 

 

 

“I’m going to smash the Second Prince’s foot at the debutante. Older Brothers shouldn’t learn such things.”

 

“…Brother. Sometimes I think her way of speaking is really strange.”

 

 

 

Lisian just chuckled.

 

 

 

“Still, shouldn’t you practice dancing a bit? You’re not only going to dance with the Second Prince.”

 

“I practiced a lot with Lisian?”

 

“So that’s why Brother hasn’t been able to walk properly for days.”

 

“Lisian. Can I beat up Leon a bit?”

 

“D-do as you like, Tulia. Y-you can beat him up… a lot.”

 

“Wow, Brother! How can you do this to me?!”

 

 

 

Grandfather also wanted to see my debutante, but urgent business had erupted in the territory and he had gone to handle it.

 

Father was hurrying up from the border.

 

‘Well, you don’t need to go that far.’

 

When I was Han Ina, my family couldn’t come even to graduation, so I didn’t particularly feel lonely.

 

Besides, I had brought plenty of my maids with me, so even more so.

 

‘…Still, it would be nice if he came a bit quickly.’

 

I looked down at the ring Father had given me as a gift.

 

One week before the debutante.

 

Father’s subordinate who had come up to the capital first delivered a letter to me.

 

It was a letter saying he was coming up as quickly as possible, but might be somewhat late on the day of the debutante.

 

It was filled with flustered content that was hard to imagine the rumored ruthless and cold Marquis Aster Frazier had written.

 

Ridiculously, that made my heart feel heavy. My mood became restless as if I had been touched by dawn’s moisture.

 

So this is what ordinary families are like.

 

Because I had never experienced this, when I was Han Ina, I was always cold, I thought.

 

Three carriages’ worth of debutante congratulatory gifts that came with the letter.

 

Among them, the ring I had carefully selected and worn was particularly heavy and beautiful.

 

A sapphire ring where teal and blue mixed dreamily and beautifully.

 

Whether it was because it was such a precious and expensive item that even passing nobles would glance at it.

 

Or because I wanted to savor this unfamiliar consideration of celebrating ‘my special day’ in my mouth for a long time.

 

I looked down at the heavy ring adorning my finger several more times afterward.

Second Prince Dave confidently looked around the grand banquet hall.

 

All the nobles who made eye contact with him lightly bowed their heads.

 

He became intoxicated with this power and felt very pleased.

 

“Where is Tulia Frazier?”

 

Despite this being an official occasion, not adding the title ‘Lady’ to Tulia Frazier was improper behavior.

 

Empress Carmi quietly gave him a warning.

 

“Make sure to call her Lady. Dave.”

 

“Father isn’t even here, so why worry so much about it, Mother?”

 

“There are many watching eyes, aren’t there.”

 

“…I understand, Mother.”

 

Naturally, both the Emperor and Empress should be present at a debutante, but Emperor Alessandro had suddenly left his seat just moments ago.

 

Even Empress Carmi couldn’t know the reason for this.

 

She sat high up on the platform and looked around at the nobles.

 

Flushed eyes.

 

Rosy cheeks.

 

Elaborately dressed appearances.

 

Among the many ladies whose excitement about the debutante had not yet subsided, there was one noble lady who shone uniquely.

 

A color given the beautiful name of rose quartz.

 

Lady Francoise Alsron, who had made a splendid dress from that fabric received from her mother, was exactly that protagonist.

 

Francoise Alsron, who had been chatting with the surrounding ladies with an excited expression, seemed to sense Carmi’s gaze and looked up, then was startled and lowered her eyes.

 

Empress Carmi’s smile deepened. No one except the Empress’s head maid knew that clear jealousy and displeasure dwelt in her eyes.

 

‘So she gave it to her daughter after all.’

 

A woman who, if not for herself, would have ended up marrying the youngest son of that humble baron family and living an insignificant life.

 

Still, since they shared the same father, she had helped her marry the duke’s heir.

 

“Mother! Lady Tulia Frazier has arrived!”

 

“Go down and see.”

 

“Yes, Mother!”

 

Meanwhile, Tulia Frazier in her light green dress, while the dress itself didn’t stand out as much as Lady Francoise Alsron’s, the jewels she wore were extraordinary.

 

Truly befitting the direct granddaughter who received the Grand Duke’s full favor, she was wrapped from head to toe in jewels as precious as those of the imperial family.

 

‘Where does she think this is, coming dressed so lavishly.’

 

Moreover, when Tulia saw Dave, she showed an annoyed expression, even if just for a moment.

 

Empress Carmi wanted to go down immediately and slap Tulia’s cheek, but as always, she only wore a warm smile.

 

What could she do if Tulia disliked her?

 

Anyway, the highest-ranking young noble in this grand banquet hall was only Dave, her son.

 

Tulia Frazier’s first dance belonged to her son.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

“Lady Tulia Frazier.”

 

‘Ah. That bastard really came.’

 

I simply curved up the corners of my mouth in a smile and greeted him politely.

 

“Tulia of House Frazier greets Your Highness the Second Prince.”

 

“Don’t be so stiff.”

 

Dave’s hand immediately pulled me toward the dance floor. I almost fell from the unexpected strong force, but I barely managed to keep my balance.

 

“Drawing my dance ball means you have feelings for me, doesn’t it?”

 

“What blue blood would dare refuse a red ball, Your Highness the Second Prince?”

 

“Exactly. What blue blood could dare refuse the Imperial Family, Lady Tulia Frazier.”

 

‘Ugh, how annoying. Ugh.’

 

Still, he wasn’t completely empty-headed, as he knew how to mock me by repeating my words back to me.

 

I checked my sharp shoe heels once more as I moved my steps.

 

“You know the custom, don’t you, my lady?”

 

“Which custom are you referring to?”

 

“The Briyang Empire is full of romance, isn’t it? You know well how often debutantes end up marrying the man they shared their first dance with, don’t you?”

 

“As I understand it, they marry the man they shared both their debutante first dance and their first dance at the Foundation Festival with.”

 

“Then wouldn’t it work if you dance with me at the Foundation Festival too?”

 

Are you insane?

 

I’d rather marry Lady Francoise than do that!

 

…Unable to say that, I simply smiled.

 

“Hmm? Lady Tulia Frazier.”

 

Dave really seemed obsessed with marriage as he held my hand and even squeezed it.

 

‘This crazy bastard…!’

 

Just as I was trying to strike back and deal some damage to this guy.

 

Suddenly the surroundings became noisy. It was a different kind of commotion than before.

 

Like the kind of disturbance when someone truly special makes an ‘entrance.’

 

‘What is it?’

 

Had Klaus finally entered properly dressed as a prince?

 

The moment both Dave and I turned around.

 

My eyes couldn’t help but widen greatly.

 

“Cr-Crown Prince Your Highness?”

 

“My goodness! Isn’t that His Highness the Crown Prince?”

 

Ferdinand Cassel Evichkait.

 

Because that male protagonist with intense red eyes was walking into the Grand Banquet Hall.
