Chapter 26

Hari’s POV

“I sincerely congratulated your engagement, Your Highness.”

As soon as he hear my words, Dice looked into my face.

“Are you mad?”

“Why should I be mad?”

“Well, if a friend’s engagement happened, I think it’s a little sad to know the ceremony late. As you all know, my engagement partner is Rosabella.”

Dice shrugged his shoulders with a vague smile on his face.

It seemed he expected that I would be embarrassed by myself. That said, I was holding my mouth shut until this day.

“I was surprised that the announcement of the engagement was straight, but there is no reason to be angry.”

I sighed and said. In all honesty, it’s my problem now.

My head is full, so I didn’t paying my attention to Dice and Rosabella.

But when he saw my reaction, Dice pulled his chair and put his upper body on the table.

I’m so frustrated by Dice that now I’ve just gotten closer than before to him, but he’s always kind of like that.

“Actually, Rosabella was a little upset with me because of the engagement announcement, so I asked the Lady to meet me today.”

“What is it that Rosabella is angry about?”

No, I wonder if Dice decide this engagement alone…

I guess not.

Even so, engagement would not have gone that far without both consent, as it would be imperative to the imperial family and to have the apostle of Rosabella.

Oh, even if they are blinded by the love,

Dice wasn’t the only one who didn’t know. And if that was the case…

But his words followed after me make me know why Rosabella was angry.

“Because of the engagement. Originally I was about to announce it in the winter or early next year, but I just pushed it to the present.”

He said so.

In fact, it was only last season that Eugene and Rosabella broke up, and it was kinda embarrassing because the announcement of the new engagement was too soon.

When this happens, it is possible that in Velontia side, it look like they deliberately ditched Eugene for the engagement with the crown prince.

“Your Highness did It Wrong. Why did you do that?”

“That’s because I want to brag about it soon.”

And I didn’t hesitate to respond to Dice’s answer as I was speechless for a moment.

Is this guy ironless, or is Rosabella so good that she can stand him?

If I look at their usual appearance, it seems to be the latter……

Besides, I’m beating my eyes that I know I’ve done it myself.

“What should I do now?”

“What do you want to do?”

“I don’t know because The lady is the same gender as her. What should I do to relieve Rosabella?”

“I don’t know. Take care of it by yourself.”

“No! Rosabella doesn’t want to meet me for a few days!”

I tilted my mug away from the sight of Dice crying desperately.

Now my head is already a complicated stone, and I should helping someone?

Involuntarily, I inhaled my breath because I was about to leak out of a sigh.

Looking at the current Dice and Rosabella, it seemed certain that the two of them became lovers through their hearts.

So even if Rosabella was upset because of her early engagement announcement, she was probably wondering if her heart would soon be forgiving.

Rather, I am the one who is in trouble.

I still quenched my dry lips with tea, leaving Dice’s voice still ringing in my ear.

I felt nervous, so it seemed that the sweat that had cooled from my palm came out.

After four days, this is the day that Eugene would return.

In order to turn my attention to another place, I left my mansion and came to see Dice, but my spirit was still hovering toward Eugene, who I will meet today.

Tick, tick.

The sound of the clock hand moving is poisonous as I sharply dug and listened.

I closed my eyes, imagining what would happen after a while, as I did for a few days without Eugene.

It felt scary to see how time passed.

At sunset, Eugene returned.

I stood in the lobby on the ground floor, and as he walked into the mansion, I face him.

“Welcome back, brother.”

As soon as our eyes meet, Eugene’s steps stopped.

My heart shook as if I had waited for his appearance in a few days.

However, he did not express himself and looked at my face as usual as I searched his face.

I was focusing on the sense of Eugene’s reaction.

His expressionless face and quiet eyes could not see the traces of the night a few days ago.

In his gaze staring at me, I shook my finger without knowing it.

Eugene quietly looks down at me like that then he opened his mouth slowly.

“I’m back.”

The short answer was no doubt expected.

When I saw the unseen face of the agitation, I felt as if he couldn’t remember the night before.

His eyes, facial expressions, and tone toward me were so calm that I couldn’t know the meaning of it, but even if I wasn’t, I thought there was a silent agreement.

“How have you been while I was away?”

Eugene, in his voice said to me as he asked my regards for the past hour.

At that moment I realized.

Oh yeah…

No matter what the reason, that night’s work has never been this way.

“Yes, nothing happened.”

If so, I could have faced Eugene just as it was before it happened.

“Erich came briefly on the weekend and then went back to the academy, and today I am on my way to see the crown prince.”

“He asked to see you first?”

“Yeah, but it wasn’t any special story, it was just….”

However, no matter how good I pretended, I wasn’t really good.

As I struggled to connect in a casual way, I couldn’t even notice that Eugene stepped toward me.

“Okay.”

A soft voice rubbed in my ear.

I realized the existence of Eugene who approached me only after his hand that reached out had finally reached my head.

So even after the moment his lips overlapped my lips, I couldn’t even show any reaction.

After a while, the warmth that was super imposed went away.

The moment I met his unshakable black eyes with my gaze, a shallow breath spit out of my small open mouth.

“I miss you.”

A sweet voice hovered in my ears so that my eyes were dizzy.

Eugene looked down at me and softly touched my lips that he had kissed a while ago.

His attitude seemed to treat his lover.

“You have healed a lot. I think it must have been quite painful.”

I…..

In my present situation, once again, I was forced to look up at the face I faced while holding my breath.

I think I should say something, but as if I was strangled, not a single word leaked out of my mouth.

“I went to see your face for a while before going to the Imperial Palace. I have to go again right now.”

Eugene grabbed my hand and pulled it.

I couldn’t say anything and looked at his lips sitting on my back hand that was held by Eugene.

Again, my eyes met his from the front.

Eugene whispered, keeping his lips on my back hand.

“Then I’ll go. Wait for me.”

I couldn’t move from there for a long time after he left me again.
