Daisy’s eyes, which were examining the invitation, sparkled for a moment but quickly dimmed.
“There’s still quite some time left.”
“Will you attend?”
“Of course, I must. If I go there, I can see Lady Rosebelia, right?”
“That’s true.”
Daisy, with a broad smile, hugged the open invitation. Lucy looked at Daisy’s lively face as if it were fascinating.
“I really want to see her again. No matter how I think about it, it’s unfair that my brother went alone to see her.”
“But Miss, your body isn’t well…”
“I’m fine now.”
Since meeting Rosebelia in the square, Daisy had become a completely different person. Her somewhat gloomy and listless appearance was gone, and she was full of vitality.
Her frail body still seemed unable to handle that energy, but for now, everyone in the Duke’s household was happy just to see Daisy showing a desire to do something.
“That may be, but…”
“Besides, my brother didn’t even invite her home.”
“But Miss, you also anticipated that the Knight wouldn’t accept the invitation.”
Daisy, shaking her head, gave a wry smile.
“My brother does look decent, doesn’t he?”
“It’s more than decent. They say Prince No. 1 has a splendid appearance, but since he doesn’t engage in foreign activities, it’s just a rumor. Surely, Sir Rinart’s appearance is the best in the Empire, isn’t it?”
With her hands tightly clasped, Lucy’s murmuring voice was as soft as melting ice cream.
“I thought she might be captivated by my brother’s looks and agree to come, even a little hopeful. But indeed, she was not the type to be mesmerized by such things.”
“It seems she’s as stubborn as a rock, not being moved by that beauty.”
“Lucy, that analogy is inappropriate. My brother’s appearance doesn’t even come close to Lady Rosebelia’s beauty.”
Lucy gulped down a dry swallow as she met Daisy’s dazzling eyes.
‘That look, is it the look in her eyes when Miss starts praising that knight?’
“Last time, Miss, you told me all about it. About her graceful appearance…”
“Right? And she’s so talented that she’s even considered as the next leader of the White Knight Order. Isn’t that cool? How beautiful must she be in a dress?”
Since Lucy had heard this story enough to grow tired of it, all she could do was repeatedly nod her head.
Was it Lady Rosebelia? Whenever Daisy talked about that knight, her eyes sparkled with admiration.
Lucy actually didn’t dislike this Daisy. She looked much better lively than when she used to stare blankly out the window.
“Miss.”
“Hm?”
“You really seem to be full of energy these days, don’t you?”
“Do I?”
“네. 컨디션도 아주 좋아 보이시고요.”
Lucy’s words were silently echoed by Daisy, who suddenly sat up from the sofa.
“I can’t do this anymore. I’ve made up my mind.”
“What? What decision have you made?”
Daisy’s flushed face was met with Lucy’s eyes, trembling uncontrollably.
“I must meet him in person.”
“Who, who are you meeting?”
Instead of answering, Daisy wore a brighter smile than ever before.
[Star Icon]
“It’s been a long time since the whole family gathered for a meal.”
I gently put down my fork. Olivia looked unusually animated today, and I felt an odd sense of unease.
“So it seems.”
Herman took a sip of wine and responded. Olivia glanced at Herman and suddenly turned her gaze to me.
“Rose.”
“Yes, mother.”
“You called for a madam today.”
“Kaiden’s birthday is coming up, so I picked out a dress to wear for that.”
“You’ve done very well.”
Olivia’s voice was as soft and affectionate as ever. Accompanied by a calm smile, she truly epitomized the loving mother.
Everyone probably thought that Olivia truly cherished Rosebelia.
“Vivian helped me choose.”
Sitting across from me, Vivian suddenly spoke up.
“Vivian helped you choose?”
Herman fixed his gaze on Vivian, asking in a tender voice.
He didn’t even glance in my direction, and I never thought he’d use such a tone.
I struggled to suppress a hollow laugh that seemed ready to burst out at any moment.
My departed mother, my father and stepmother in their new home, and me – forever an impurity that could never blend in with them.
Perhaps my past life and Rosebelia’s situation were so similar that I felt a deeper empathy.
“Yes, it’s a very pretty dress. But you are prettier than the dress.”
“When everyone sees you in that dress, they will be captivated. The entire capital will be in an uproar.”
Kaiden joined in praising me, and Olivia’s brow twitched for a split second.
“Come to think of it, Her Majesty the Empress…”
“You met the Empress?”
“Yes. I visited the Imperial Palace a while ago, and she said she would send the Second Prince to brighten up Kaiden’s birthday party.”
As the subject shifted suddenly, Olivia’s face lit up with a smile, as if she had never shown discomfort.
“It’s truly a gracious thing for her to do so much for Kaiden.”
“By the way, shouldn’t we start looking for Rose’s marriage partner soon?”
Marriage partner?
Already feeling on edge about marriage due to my experiences in the Knight Order, the mere mention of it seemed to trigger a migraine.
“Marriage partner… I hadn’t thought about it.”
“Actually, I have asked Dylan Olaberni to find a suitable marriage partner…”
“I have no intention of marrying.”
Herman’s golden eyes, identical to Kaiden and Vivian’s, turned towards me for the first time.
Not just that, his black hair was a perfect match with Kaiden’s.
An undeniable father and son resemblance.
In contrast, Rosebelia and Herman shared no similarities.
“What do you mean by that?”
“As I said, I have no intention of marrying right now.”
“Oh, Rose. Delaying marriage isn’t good. Even if you want to marry later, it might become difficult to find a suitable partner. Of course, I won’t let that happen, but finding a partner while you’re younger would be…”
Olivia’s soft voice contained a hint of irritation. She was clearly annoyed.
“I don’t care. I don’t particularly want to get married anyway.”
“Mother, Father, it seems Rose doesn’t want to marry yet, so perhaps we can take our time finding a suitable partner?”
Unable to stand it any longer, Kaiden interjected. Olivia softly extended her hand.
“Kaiden, this is for Rose’s sake. Rose, I understand that you value your work in the Knight Order, but there’s nothing more important for a woman than finding a good husband.”
“I told you clearly. I have no intention of getting married.”
I looked straight at Olivia, wiping away any trace of laughter. Seeing my stern attitude, Olivia looked slightly taken aback.
Olivia’s intentions were as clear as day. Since Rosebelia had been avoiding conflict so far, she must have planned to use the atmosphere to sway me this time.
I maintained my composure and opened my mouth again.
“So don’t proceed with this according to your whims, Mother.”
A heavy silence fell for a moment. It was broken by Hermann’s angry voice.
“What kind of habit is that, Rosebelia?”
“…….”
“You really haven’t changed at all. Olivia is so concerned for you; how long are you going to act so petulantly?”
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?”
