Juliet leaned on the railing and stretched her body out towards the stands.

She looked down with her opera glasses. They were sitting in the grandstand of the largest racetrack in the South.

To anyone watching, it would seem she was enjoying the view of the racetrack.

However, Juliets gaze was fixed on a couple of small butterflies that flew towards the stands.

The butterflies, glowing with a bluish hue, were so tiny in the crowded venue that youd miss them if you werent paying close attention.

Some were momentarily captivated by the shimmering butterflies, but soon turned their heads, thinking they must have seen wrongly.

Its dangerous, sit down.

From behind, Lennox pulled her waist.

Juliet sneaked a glance at him as she obediently sat down.

He was the one who had warned that starving the butterflies was dangerous.

And such an excited crowd was a feast for the butterflies.

Even though, despite mobilizing the entire information guild, they hadnt been able to find anything about Snowdrop, Juliet had her plans.

Watching the sleek horses racing on the track, Juliet exclaimed:

The horses of the South are certainly different.

Lennox, who was resting his chin beside her, casually asked:

Want one?

No. Dont even dream about it.

At her firm refusal, Lennox seemed a little disappointed for a moment.

Juliet gave him a sidelong glance.

She definitely felt more relaxed here than at the theater.

Nevertheless, Lennox looked somber. Ever since their visit to the lake, he seemed lost in thought.

Is it because of the magic stone mine?

When Juliet asked directly, Lennoxs eyebrows furrowed.

Did Elliot tell you?

?

No.

She could figure out that much without asking his secretary.

It had happened in her past life, too.

Marquis Guinness from the Souths was fighting over the rights to the magic stone with the North. Thats why the members of the Carlyle Duchy were so busy.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Are you worried?

With his chin still propped up, Lennox locked eyes with her and asked.

Somehow, Juliet felt he was expecting a certain answer from her.

But before she could respond, he sighed lightly and turned his head.

Dont worry. I wont let you live lacking.

Im not worried about that.

Juliet already knew who would win this war.

Moreover, even if the rights to the magic stone business were taken away, it wouldnt destabilize the Duchy.

Lennox didnt really care about the Marquiss house or the magic stones either, and he gazed intently at the side profile of the woman observing the ground floor.

With emotions fluctuating madly dozens of times a day, it was no small matter.

He didnt know what kind of answer he expected.

Upon hearing that, Lennox felt momentarily empty.

Did you think Your Highness would be my first love?

The conclusion came easily, making his night-long worries seem pointless. With a heavy sigh, Lennox curtly responded, hinting at the dead first love.

What did that bastard say?

Just as you heard.

Juliet said calmly.

He said he didnt need a child, that even if one was conceived, he wouldnt let it be born.

What a worthless man.

As he spat those words, Juliet giggled slightly.

Is that so?

Yes.

Juliet seemed happy for some reason.

But Lennox couldnt smile.

He felt even heavier than before he asked. He knew all too well that he wasnt any better than that worthless man.

His postponed anger surged.

Its natural for her to dislike marriage or anything after hearing such words.

It made sense why Juliet never flinched no matter what he offered.

A man who no longer exists and cant be met again.

Damn it.

Even worse, he couldnt even chase him down and kill him.

Juliet naturally changed the topic.

Will you go to the Dukes residence when you return to the capital?

Yes.

Lennox casually replied, then added:

Tell me if you need anything.

I dont really need anything. And Im not lacking

Juliet tilted her head.

Can I bring Nix?

After a moment, Lennox realized that Nix was the name of the suspicious beast Juliet kept.

Better to buy a puppy.

A fleeting expression of disappointment crossed Juliets face, and Lennox felt a pang in his chest.

Its okay. I dont need a puppy.

But even before he could change his mind, Juliet refused as if it was no big deal. Then, as if suddenly remembering, she added:

Oh, but you might want to change the maid in charge of the bedroom.

The maid?

Yes. My hair comb is missing.

Frowning, Lennox was about to ask for more details.

It was absurd to steal a cheap hair comb, especially when there were more expensive ornaments in the bedroom.

But before he could ask, an uninvited guest arrived.
