From the windows, Rosé could see him riding a horse towards her.
Unlike usual times, he was alone. No servants or knights in sight.
When Maxim arrived at the entrance of the detached house, he lowered himself off his horse and looked up.
” . . . . ! ”
Rosé looked down in bewilderment when she looked him in the eye.
Whatever he meant to do, he raised one corner of his mouth and strode in.
Maxim, who came all the way to Rose’s place, relaxingly folded his arms and looked around the space she had been living in.
His attitude was so different from when he had put a knife to her neck a few days ago. He swept through the furniture with his finger and threw dust off his hands.
Looking at his ungrateful, rude behavior, Rosé could not understand why he suddenly came to her to do this.
“Hey.” the man called out.
She looked at Maxim as he walked to the window.
“Let’s do that… Marriage.” he finally said.
He turned around with his back against the window and stared straight at Rosé.
The sun was slowly setting behind his back.
‘Should I just leave Helavant as Natalie said?’ Rosé suddenly thought.
To be honest, her mind had been weakening for the last few days.
Then, this man suddenly appeared before her.
Rosé was confused when he said “Let’s get married” so simply. It was as if he was saying ‘let’s go for a walk together.’
“Ah…”
He smiled like a rascal at Rosé, who was embarrassed.
“So, the problem has been solved then? Well, this is what I’ve been thinking.”
“Are you serious?” Rosé wondered out loud, hinting that he was merely playing with her
“Why did you bother asking me to marry you, if you’d just change your mind?” he smirked.
“My- When did I-?”
Rosé took a step closer to Maxim, as he pulled on her arm.
“Ah!”
Maxim held Rosé in a tight embrace by the window.
In the bright sunshine, her eyes were gleaming with purple watercolors.
He stared at the pupil and spoke coldly.
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m just doing it because I need you.”
Rosé gently bit her lower lip and nodded slowly.
‘If we used each other because we needed each other, we could end this relationship neatly when we finished.’ they both thought.
“I’ll help you until Cassiax is out of breath.” Maxim pledged.
“I can’t go to war with a knife, but I’ll find something I can do.” Rosé smiled.
“I’m sure I have a role here to help you.”
When he heard Rose’s determination, he laughed as if it was very funny.
“I mean, why do you hate Cassiax so much? Did something happen to him?”
He put his arms on the window sill and beckoned Rosé to come closer to him.
“There must be a reason why you have such hatred. Tell me, I’ll listen. To Cassiax, I’ll give him the pleasure of picking his throat.”
Though sarcastic, Maxim’s eyes looked serious.
Rosé was seized in his arms, and in his gaze.
When he stared as if he were reading Rosé’s mind, Rosé turned her head to avoid his gaze.
“That’s none of your business.”
Maxim held Rosé’s head back, which had turned away from him, and made her look straight at him.
“Innocent lady, what if I’m worse than him? What are you going to do about it? ”
Rosé and Maxim’s eyes were intertwined for quite some time.
She broke the delicate silence first with a frown on her fine forehead.
“I’m injured. Please stop.”
When Maxim realized that he had hurt her neck a few days ago, he was embarrassed and quickly put his hand on his head.
Rosé smiled dejectedly at the thoughtfulness.
“If it were Cassiax, I would have pushed harder and popped the wound.” Maxim raised his arms and backed away.
“Is the injury all right?” he asked a few moments later.
“It’s not a big deal. If you were trying to test me, I could have endured more.”
Maxim looked into Rose’s eyes and then at her scar, which was red.
What happened to this woman and why was she doing this?
Rosé held a complicated look.
He blamed himself for hurting a woman’s neck, but it was not easy to say that he was sorry.
He had never apologized to anyone in his life.
“Send someone. I can’t stay here forever.” Rosé said.
He looked around with an unsavory face. The air was murky and gloomy, perhaps empty for a long time.
“Once again, we!”
When Rose emphasized, Maxim looked back at Rose.
“We’re not a normal couple. So you achieve my goals and when this relationship is over, don’t ask for anything more!”
Maxim smiled strangely, neither positive nor negative, and left the room.
Bam!
“Oh, my God!”
When Maxim opened the door, Natalie, who was standing outside, was pushed back and fell down.
The stick in her hand rolled to the feet of Maxim.
Natalie looked up at him with frightened eyes.
She had held a club, ready to barge in the room as soon as anything bad inside happened. But she didn’t expect him to suddenly come out.
“Were you going to beat me to death with this?”
Natalie trembled while backing away.
“Yes. Loyalty is imaginary.”
Maxim turned around smiling and strode down the stairs.
Down he went.

“Where is Mr. Pierre now?” a voice asked.
“Oh… …he was at a senior meeting earlier and hasn’t come back yet.”
“The meeting would have been over by now!”
“I heard you went out with the elders. Where did you go because you didn’t have a word… ”

Kartiana turned and walked quickly out of the hall before his words were over.
A tall, silver-faced platinum blonde.
White skin like clay without any color. A cold look where no warmth exists.
A beauty that is cold and beautiful enough to overwhelm a person.
The cold wind of the north wind was blowing with her anger, and she was ready to freeze every step of the way.
