Chapter 15 Miss Marguerite really knew nothing. It’s already been more than two years, Teacher. It was true that the impression left by a boy named Xavier Bransen had been that strong, but two years was more than enough time for the subtle feelings she had harbored toward him to disappear. Her curiosity was occasionally satisfied simply by reading newspaper articles about the Bransen family. News that Xavier Bransen had caused quite a stir in the music industry by winning prizes at several…-

Chapter 14 With Xavier's hand pushing half her face away, Luca could only mumble his greeting with his lips. Honestly, it was ridiculous. Dolores burst out laughing without realizing it. “Young masters.” There wasn't much opportunity for her to talk with Luca or properly get acquainted with him. Two adults who had approached from the opposite side politely urged Xavier and Luca, saying, “Now that the performance is over, shouldn't you be leaving? You promised, didn't…

Chapter 13 Her heart began to flutter again. She couldn't explain it. But then— “How did you two end up here?” The question came at an absurdly unexpected moment. Dolores stiffened. He wasn't asking how she had come to attend the festival. He was asking about her very identity—her origins, something she herself was still struggling to understand. It was fairly well known in Aquine that the Count Artois family had immigrated there. But did Xavier, being from Lange, not know…

Chapter 12 The boy's proud, cold expression made it seem as though he was accustomed to pushing people away. Fortunately, however, he said nothing. Instead, his gaze slowly slid over Dolores, examining her carefully from head to toe. Dolores hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should speak first. Shouldn't a gentleman be the one to start the conversation first? The thought crossed her mind, but disappeared just as quickly. The boy was a bourgeois, and considering the level of education…

Chapter 11 Until then, Dolores hadn't really had any intention of deliberately going against her father's wishes. Things like performing in public, for example. In fact, her father still didn't know that she was learning ballet. What changed the situation was Miss Marguerite's efforts. Miss Marguerite persuaded her mother. She told her that Dolores had exceptional talent and asked that she be given just one opportunity. Wouldn't it be possible for someone to notice her? Wasn't it about time…

Chapter 19 “Yes, now that I think about it…” The people watching were stunned. Asad had begun pressing his left chest awkwardly, pretending to be distracted. It was an obviously terrible performance. “I think I’m breaking out in a rash here. Is this wine from the South, by any chance?” “Yes, it is, Your Grace…” The servant pouring the wine cautiously nodded. What? The Grand Duke really does get hives when he drinks wine? I just blurted that out! Mia was the only one…-

Chapter 18 “Your Highness!” At the Crown Prince’s voice, the aide who had been waiting behind him stepped forward. “Tell the head maid to bring this young lady a dress suitable for her. I’ll change and head to the ballroom.” “Yes, Your Highness.” The aide hurried away to carry out his master’s orders. Only Mia remained standing there, staring at the tips of her toes. “Then, I’ll see you in the ballroom.” The Crown Prince awkwardly reached out and took her limp…

Chapter 17 Asad let out a short scoff. Kisha was glad to see even that slight change in his expression, even if it was a look of contempt. “People with nothing better to do.” “Please dance the next song with me.” He glared sharply at Kisha as though he could no longer tolerate her. “Leave me alone, Kisha Astrid. Don’t make me bring up that night when you came to see me yourself. It may be none of my business, but wouldn’t it be wiser for you to conduct yourself according to…

Chapter 16 Just as the young man beside them was about to accidentally collide with Mia, Asad noticed what was happening a split second earlier. He wrapped an arm around Mia’s waist from behind and lifted her clean off the ground. That intoxicating fragrance once again clouded Mia’s senses. Instead of Mia, Asad’s turned back collided with the young man. The young man, who was inexperienced at dancing, flushed and apologized. As the song ended, Asad skillfully took Mia’s hand again…

Chapter 15 Asad elegantly bent his extended hand toward his body, then gave a slight bow of his head. It was a military salute. After raising his head, he walked past her with an indifferent expression. Kisha’s ring-adorned hand was still suspended in the air. Her cheeks turned as red as the dress she was wearing. People who loved gossip saw the scene and began whispering among themselves. “What was that? He practically sent a cold breeze blowing through here. Wasn’t the rumor that…
