Chapter 0

The weather is nice today.

Although it’s winter, the flowers in the greenhouse were exposed with sunlight and bloomed beautifully.

Elena smiled at the fresh scent of flowers flowing through tip of her nose.

On the other hand, Killian, who was sitting opposite to Elena, could not hide his nervousness.

He was hoping that the girl in front of him, who goes well with the roses in full bloom, would give a positive answer as soon as possible.

‘She’s so damn pretty.’

Killian thought as he glanced at Elena, who’s looking at the fragrant flowers.

Elena was very pretty.

Even though she was only 14 years old, she’s really beautiful. Much more than the flowers blooming around her.

The red hair flowing down to the waist looked like rose petals under the warm sunlight, and the blue eyes shone brighter than sapphire.

In addition, due to her small physique, she felt like a doll even when she just stayed still.

‘When she becomes an adult, she will be more beautiful than she is now.’

Killian looked at Elena with greedy eyes.

Elena didn’t even care whether he looked at her or not.

Elena’s gaze, which were only focused at the flowers for a moment, returned to Killian.

The tip of Killian’s ears turned red as soon as the girl looked at him. It was clearly a sign that he likes her.

Killian waited with a trembling heart for the girl’s mouth to open.

Elena’s lips opened slowly, and her words flowed out.

“No, I don’t want to.”

Contrary to the bright smile, it was a voice that was dripping with coldness.

“……What, what?”

At Elena’s answer, Killian widened his eyes in disbelief.

Rejected?! Me, of all people?!

He couldn’t believe it.

He was the heir of a promising ducal family.

Moreover, even though he was not an adult yet, he was already counted as one of the most beautiful in the Empire.

He didn’t expect that she would reject him just like that.

Killian tried to put on a surprised look, and pretended not to be embarrassed.

“Why?”

Elena sighed at Killian’s question.

“I can’t believe you’re asking me why. You’re so shameless.”

As expected, he’s really shitty.

‘You have a fiancé and you’re even proudly asking another woman to have an affair with you.’

Indeed, he’s really a trashy male lead.

Elena, who was staring at Killian for a while, smiled and folded her eyes beautifully.

“The young master is not my taste.”

Killian’s forehead narrowed at Elena’s answer. But Elena didn’t stop there.

“If I must say, your younger brother is much preferable.”

As she struck the wedge, Killian’s eyebrows went up.

“What? You prefer my younger brother?”

Yeah. Not you, but your brother.

Elena answered with utmost sincerity.

Because the younger brother who does his job silently is a hundred times better than a trash who already has a fiancé but still chose to cheat.

But Elena didn’t know.

The fact that someone is listening to their conversation.

And the repercussions that today’s conversation will bring.
