CH 55

I’m telling you without exaggeration, but Cesare was very, very, very, very sexy. His face shows that you can feel ecstasy just by looking at it.

Yes it hurts. Just give up on things like that!

I’ve decided not to live like a fool anymore. That’s why I didn’t lose to Count Peliard and the main character, didn’t I?

If Cesare likes Gabriel, I don’t know… Obviously, when I asked if Cesare liked Gabriel, he denied that there was no such insult.

If he says he doesn’t like the main character of the original, I don’t need to be tied to the original.

And by the way, it was originally said that the first person to have a night with is me.

Slide-

I reached out and put my arm around Cesare’s neck.

Cesare’s eyes grew as big as a lantern, and his body hardened.

Maybe you don’t like it? Cesare, if you do that, I will be hurt.

But as if my thoughts were just rain, weight began to load on the soft bed.

Just as a cloud covered the moon, a dark shadow fell in the room.

Squeak

Suddenly I was lying in bed.

Cesare’s eyes, reaching up over my body, glowed dangerously in the dark space.

I thought it was pretty rather than scary.

flinch.

The back of Cesare’s hand ran across my cheek.

It was a very careful and delicate movement, like touching a fragile porcelain doll. He seemed a little hesitant for some reason.

I liked the tickling feeling and rubbed Cesare’s cheek against the back of my hand.

Cesare held his breath. His body slowly leaned towards me.

Cesare buried his face between the nape of my neck. It tickled me, so I smiled a little.

“Daphne.”

The growling voice is sexy. It really felt like I could bleed a nosebleed with just his voice.

Blood…?

Huh, that’s right! By the way, I’m on my period now!

“Cesare!”

I jumped up and pushed Cesare away.

I acted too hastily, so Cesare was pushed back and stiffened.

Cesare’s expression is like a raccoon that has washed cotton candy in a flowing stream.

What should I do… I think Cesare was expecting a lot from me too…

Unable to hide my regret, I whispered softly.

“That… Not today.”

“Why?”

Haha, I guess not only disappointed but also angry. He has a ferocious voice.

“Do you not want to spend the night with me?”

Why is he exaggerating again? I answered with tearful eyes.

“It’s never like that.”

“But why?”

“That is…. Actually, today is the day….”

Chezare looked incomprehensible. Did he not understand?

He’s real. If he pretends, if I say it, he would know it.

In the end, the reason was revealed in a voice that seemed like a mosquito flying.

“It’s menstruation.”

Cesare shrugged. In fact, for Cesare, who has the title of perfect man, this was also a long time of abstinence.

Cesare shook his head with a blank expression on his face.

“Ah.”

Don’t look at me with those stray cat eyes. I mean, it’s really sad that my heart breaks.

This really deserves to be in the top three things I regret in my life. Sobbing.

*****

The social circles were paying attention to the movements of Daphne and Cesare, who came to the capital after a long time.

Daphne was an easier opponent than Cesare. As a result, people’s attention was drawn to Daphne, and the shop she visited and even the people she met became an issue.

The story of Daphne verbally pressing down on the three ladies in front of the dressing room was spread among the ladies.

Everyone knew that Daphne wasn’t a good person.

As a result, it also became an issue that Daphne was the only one who replied to the invitation of Countess Madrina.

The Countess of Madrina confirmed that Daphne was willing to attend.

The ladies were only talking about the book club, so it couldn’t help but listen to Gabriel’s ears.

Countess of Madrina.

It was one of the families supporting Gabriel. Daphne’s presence there meant that the Duke of Burstoad had expressed some position.

It was something that the assistants who were paying close attention to Gabriel’s work could raise his hands.

He revolted against Gabriel’s decision to bring the Duke of Burstoad to trial.

If Burstoad decided to stand by Gabriel, would he really need to?

He doesn’t know. That Gabriel did this only because of Daphne.

It was not intended to defeat the Duke of Burstoad, who might become a political opponent.

There was only one person who noticed it, Sir Bruce.

As soon as he heard the news of Daphne, Gabriel gave an order to Sir Bruce, who quickly ran to him.

“Tell the Countess of Madrina that I also want to attend the book club. I wonder if there will be any vacant seats for me.”

“Yes, His Majesty the Crown Prince.”

Bruce bowed his head deeply.

He lived as a slave and grew up in poverty outside before that, but Gabriel had all the nobility and elegance that a Prince should have.

Bruce firmly believed that this was his innate aura. Gabriel must become Emperor.

Bruce was ready to do anything Gabriel wished.

“What did you say about the book to be read at the book club?”

Bruce presented the book of poetry that he had prepared beforehand to Gabriel.

“This is it, Your Majesty the Crown Prince.”

Gabriel nodded.

The collection was full of lyrical poems. Reading any love poem brings to mind Daphne.

Who did Daphne think of as she read these poems?

Gabriel hid his excitement under a smile.

*****

The scenery outside the carriage window changed every moment. I looked out the window blankly and sighed.

“Hah…”

Recalling last night’s event that was unsuccessful, she was sighing in regret.

After I had refused him, the atmosphere between me and Cesare quickly cooled. Cesare asked me again with a serious face.

‘I heard that your back and stomach hurt that day. Are you okay?’

That it wasn’t okay. I don’t know how sad he was.

You stupid Daphne. What the hell is this? First, she seduced him by hanging her arms around his neck…

Cesare was completely overlooked.

If you’re going to make history, you should have planned it properly and attacked him.

Why didn’t I think of that period? Were you so crazy that you fell for Cesare’s face and couldn’t even think of anything like that?

“Madam. Are you okay? Was the dress uncomfortable by any chance?”

“No, no.”

I waved my hand at Shannet’s concern.

This was just a matter of regret. If you’re this old, it’s time to notice your uterus… Mother Nature has ruined my life.

Is the speculation that this world seems to be against me and Cesare is true… How can the timing always go wrong?

“Hah”

Regardless of my deep regret, the carriage ran hard on the road and finally reached its destination.

Count of Madrina.

It’s an imperial aristocratic family that sent me an invitation to a book club.

Before getting out of the carriage, I asked Shannet.

“Shannet. How do I look?”

“You are the most beautiful lady in the world!”

“Thank you.”

Today, I must be the prettiest, most good looking, and cute-looking person in the world. So that no one can ignore me.

It’s a gathering that Cesare chose to say I would be fine here, but it’s something I don’t know.

Looking at Daphne’s diary, it seemed that there were not only two people who ignored Daphne and tormented her.

Glad I bought five dresses. This is how I get to wear it right away.

It’s a small gathering, but it’s my first time socializing in the capital, so I made up my own mind and opened the carriage door.

“You are here Duchess. I’ve been waiting.”

As she was waiting for me, the Countess of Madrina greeted me warmly.

She was a middle-aged woman with a warm-hearted look.

I smiled a little relieved.

“Thank you for inviting me, madam.”

“What do you mean? Rather, the Duchess thank you for attending my small gathering. Let me introduce you to others. Would you like to come this way?”

The Countess Madrina, as kind as her impression, introduced me to the people as today’s host.

In fact, I was fortunate enough to know nothing about the capital’s social circle.

“You have no idea how much I want to see the Duchess Burstoad!”

“It is an honor to meet you, Duchess.”

People welcome me too.

But when she said it was a small gathering, there were a lot more people than I thought. Male and female, the gender ratio is the same.

Well, it’s only natural that it’s not a gathering for embroidering or arranging flowers.

I heard that Count Madrina is of the Imperial sect, but in fact reading is nothing more than a trick, and is it not actually a meeting created to strengthen the unity between the Imperial sect nobles?

It was time to think about it and look around.

“What?”

There, the person walking from far away… Doesn’t it somehow resemble Gabriel a lot?

No, I think it’s really Gabriel.
