Archbishop Solon seemed to enjoy roaming around the banquet hall and making a fuss.

Special thanks to the royal family of Katia for gracing this occasion!

He seemed keen to personally approach and become familiar with the high-ranking guests.

However, the concept of royalty among humans and that of Lycanthropes is different.

Roy didnt particularly point that out.

Roy, you were a prince?

Yes?

When Juliet asked, Roy looked slightly flustered.

Juliet tilted her head.

So, will Roy ever become the Lord of Lycanthropes?

No, he did mention he had a brother, so probably not.

Behind Roy stood Nathan and Elsa, whom she knew, and three other unknown members of their tribe.

Are all of Lycanthropes tall, strikingly handsome, and beautiful?

She had thought so even when she saw them in the dark forest, but under the bright lights, they looked even more stunning.

Especially Elsa, with her curly golden hair falling like a mane and wearing a halter-neck dress, was dazzlingly beautiful.

Hello, Juliet!

Hello, Elsa.

Elsa greeted cheerfully, and Juliet responded in kind.

Come to think of it, didnt Elsa have to leave in a hurry on the night of Algieros moon festival two weeks ago?

Juliet sneakily glanced at Roy beside her.

Was that issue resolved?

She had been worried as Elsa, who always was with Nathan, wasnt around. Fortunately, Elsa seemed fine now.

Hehe.

Why are you laughing, Elsa?

I smell something delicious from Juliet.

The smell of wild strawberries?

Huh? How did you know!

You mentioned it last time.

Elsa!

Nathan gritted his teeth and dragged Elsa out.

Elsa had already emptied a bottle of wine and was pretty drunk.

Watching the two, Juliet, who had been briefly amused, froze when she spotted someone.

Excuse me for a moment.

Juliet asked Roy for permission and quickly followed that person outside.

In the well-maintained maze garden, impatient lovers were already having secret meetings. The person Juliet was looking for wasnt easily spotted.

But Juliet had clearly seen.

That face

A small figure in a white priests outfit with orange-hued hair.

It was definitely Dahlia.

Ah!

Walking around without watching her step, Juliet tripped over something.

A rose vine stretched out before her eyes.

Although falling on the rose vine might only result in some bruises, Juliet closed her eyes in anticipation of the impending pain.

?

But no matter how much time passed, the expected shock didnt come.

Then, Juliet realized she had fallen onto someones chest.

Juliet.

Because he was handsome.

Juliet teased with a sly smile.

That was it.

It seemed she was saying she wouldnt have stayed otherwise.

For some reason, Lennox Carlyle looked hurt and remained still for a while.

Still soft.

Then he muttered a word.

Juliet placed her hand on the ground, gathering strength to get up.

But Lennox pulled her arm, making her sit back down.

What are you!

She tried to yell at him, but Carlyle suddenly leaned closer.

And their fingers intertwined.

I told you, Juliet.

!

When theres a chance, cut off the air.

Juliet flinched at his incomprehensible words, trying to escape, but was firmly held by his hand.

Stab me.

With one hand, Lennox brushed Juliets loose hair, and with the other, he pulled her waist closer.

Were going to kiss now.

So if you dont like it, stab me.

Upon hearing such a straightforward remark, Juliet came to her senses.

Suddenly, a sharp dagger was forcefully placed in Juliets hand.

I taught you.

Upon hearing that, she remembered.

During their time in the North, Lennox taught Juliet various things.

The Carlyle family had many enemies, and she was his official lover for 7 years.

So she needed to be prepared for any situation.

If theres a chance, dont hesitate, stab. Thats how youll live.

Among other things, he taught her self-defense techniques, including where to stab for the quickest and most efficient kill.

So, Juliet couldnt move easily now.

Because she knew if she even wavered a little in this posture, there could truly be bloodshed.

!

Suddenly, she pushed Lennox away.

But he firmly placed the dagger in Juliets hand and held her close.

Then he thrust his own neck against the blade.

They were so close they could count each others eyelashes.

What are you doing!

Juliet was startled.

She couldnt even let go of the dagger, fearing he might really get hurt.

His threatening gaze seemed to warn her.

Surprised, Juliet could hardly breathe as he slowly moved to kiss her.

He seemed unconcerned about the blade.

With a slight touch on her lips, Juliet reflexively tried to push him away but hesitated at the familiar scent.

As she didnt resist, the kiss deepened. Unknowingly, Juliet closed her eyes.

A moment later.

Their lips parted.

Juliet took deep breaths, looking dazedly at Lennox.

Lennox smirked.

Trading my life for a single kiss with you seems like a profitable deal, doesnt it?
