Chapter 55

When Lyria said she liked someone, he gave up relatively easily, but when Rowena said she liked someone, His Highness seemed to have the momentum to kill that person.

So, Rowena thought that maybe she was loved more than Lyria.

The way he treats Lyria and I is completely different.

When he went to see the engagement dress, he came only to see her. Cecil had no interest in Lyria.

It was only one day, but it was an important fact for Rowena, who experienced that Kian’s interest was shifted to Lyria at once.

It’s nice to remember.

Feeling her face burning again, Rowena fanned her hands. Cecil was once again nice and she felt proud to be favored by him.

So I can relax, right?

Can I relax?

Rowena suddenly became uneasy. It was not to doubt Cecil’s affection. The goodwill and attitude shown to her were obvious.

However, she thought that the burning passion would not cool down that quickly.

She had never been in a relationship, but she had read a lot of novels about love. There were many words, and it said that it took a lot of effort to grow love.

I had to go through the kiss and the next one step by step!

It was not the first time Rowena and Cecil had been together like this.

What if His Highness gets tired of me?

She was worried, of course, but in the next moment, Rowena vowed not to cling to him even if he did.

Isn’t it just my first relationship?

If Cecil said he didn’t like her, she could happily break up and enjoy her title as a marquise.

In the Isfacia Empire, it was not wrong for a woman to have an affair.

It was a common time for divorced women to date and marry proudly as well as receive a title. On the contrary, some ladies lived a second life after divorce.

“…”

She thought like this, but it was also true that she was worried as her love for Cecil grew. She was not confident that she wouldn’t cling to him.

His Highness… He never told me he loved me.

She didn’t think he ever said that he loved her. It was so, even though he was showing his affection for her with his whole body.

All of a sudden, she remembered Cecil’s words, teasing her about whether she had dating experience at all.

His Highness is the same!

No, never!

She thought that she shouldn’t be the first to say that she likes or loves him. People get bored so easily because they take things fast!

She needed to control herself. That way she would be able to hold on to her heart longer.

It would be nice to kneel under Cecil, whom everyone fears. He had already knelt at Rowena’s feet, but it was a different situation.

Does he like me? I think he likes me.

She didn’t get a proper confession.

But aren’t you already married?

In addition, during this one year, Rowena boasted that she wouldn’t fall in love with him and thought that they wouldn’t continue their marriage.

Let’s see who will fall first! I’ll make you fall in love!

Even now, Cecil was changing her opinion of him in her mind, but Rowena insisted that she was not in love yet.

Now that it’s like this!

She vowed to get Cecil to surrender first that he liked her and make him confess that he loves her first.

I-I won’t lose!

It was a useless thought.

“…Can you bring this bouquet to my sister?”

Again this time, Louis was guided to the drawing room of the Imperial Palace. Being guided to a place that was no different from the previous day, Louis held out the flowers to the servant.

The servant took a polite attitude even though he was a young priest.

“I’ll send it to the lady. Don’t worry, the message will be delivered with it.”

He wondered if it was true, but Louis couldn’t get angry and only clenched his fist. Louis was waiting endlessly again today.

Tea and snacks were served, and an offer came back to see the palace in a little while. Louis nodded with an expression that he already expected such an offer.

It was just a tour of the outer palace, but he was guided to a different place than the last time. Louis listened to his explanation with an expression of indifference.

It was obvious that he hadn’t even seen this place, but he was annoyed at the thought of him being taken around to stall time.

“Rowena, how is my sister doing here?”

The servant who was explaining stopped at the words and looked at Louis.

“I hear rumors that the crown prince cares about her very much.”

“Is that so…?”

Paul would be delighted to hear the news. He might have asked Rowena to get pregnant quickly because it didn’t matter even before marriage.

However, Louis was concerned about the rumors about the crown prince.

Isn’t he the one who beheads people off on the spot if they offend him?
