Roadne was glaring at me as if I were his sworn enemy.

"What did I do wrong, Your Highness?"

This chapt𝙚r is updated by freeωebnovēl.c૦m.

"Nothing."

Nothing at all. In a welcoming ceremony where only refreshments and drinks were prepared, there was a small champagne table set up in one corner. The only ones constantly drinking champagne from that table were him and me.

"Would you like me to get you some water? "

"Are you serious? "

Roadne snorted as if amused, then called a servant to bring him water. I guess he was thirsty.

"You're not my maid. Don't say things like that. "

His voice was cold. Maybe it was because he was drinking. Somehow, my heart felt light and I was able to give him a gentle smile.

"Is that so? Even though I'm an attendant, I thought I was almost like a dedicated maid to Prince Epero and Victor, Your Highness. "

Staring intently at my smiling face, Roadne immediately hardened his expression when I finished saying that I was volunteering to be the personal maid of the party hosts. He gulped down the cold water that the servant had brought with ice.

"His head must be hurting. "

As expected, Roadne furrowed his brow for a moment as if his head ached, then looked at me again with a slightly softened expression.

"...Aren't you frustrated? "

It was Roadne who looked more frustrated. I could see him loosening his already slightly loosened cravat even more. Every time he did that, my eyes naturally went to his deeply sunken collarbone, so I deliberately looked up at the ceiling.

"Are you frustrated? Even though I had the skylight opened so you wouldn't be frustrated? It's getting dark now, so I should tell them to turn on the lights. "

Roadne quietly watched me as I busily called for a servant and gave various instructions.

"Are you uncomfortable being alone with me? "

He asked as soon as I finished my business. I smiled awkwardly. It would be a lie to say I wasn't uncomfortable. Unlike usual, Roadne, dressed in a navy blue velvet uniform, had captured everyone's attention from the moment he appeared. I was no different. As soon as our eyes met, my cheeks, which he had touched two days ago, heated up, and a shiver ran down my spine. If I hadn't held onto Victor's arm tightly, who had been escorting me today, I might have collapsed to my knees.

"No, why would I be uncomfortable with Your Highness? "

"Then why do you keep avoiding my eyes and don't even look at me? "

"Me? "

"You were whispering to that bear-like fellow all the time. "

Roadne seemed to have more to say but stopped there. I watched with flickering eyes as Roadne's thick Adam's apple visibly bobbed.

"I feel strange when I'm with you. It's kind of ticklish..."

Knowing that I shouldn't say such things easily, I opened and closed my mouth.

"Are you sorry to me?"

"Huh?"

Was there something I should be sorry for? Was it because I accompanied Victor? Although such a question came to mind, I couldn't ask him why he was dissatisfied when he had already extended his hand. It seemed like he had a grudge against me for some unknown reason, but I knew he would never answer if I asked.

"Shall we go out together?"

"Huh? Victor and Prince Epero will be back soon..."

"Even Epero is a guy who can get around this Atilchard Hall on his own."

"But..."

"Don't you want to?"

Although his face was hardened menacingly, there was a hint of regret in his soft tone of voice. As I rolled my eyes, I could strongly feel the gaze of not only Doris but also Nora from afar.

"Alright."

As soon as I spoke, Roadne extended his arm deeper. Ever since I got on top of him in the carriage and took his jacket a while ago... Somehow, it had become more difficult to touch his body. Even before, I was caught in a strange tension, but my heart was pounding as if it was attached to my ears, which was also embarrassing. Except for his arm twitching a few times, Roadne's expression was quite calm. As we left the party hall and entered one of the terraces connected to the huge corridor, an amazing sight unfolded before my eyes.

****

"Wow..."

"...What do you think?"

Adrien took their hand off of Roadne's arm and covered their mouth with both hands. Roadne, briefly staring at the arm that had lost their hand, looked past Adrien's sparkling eyes to the fireflies twinkling in the garden right below the terrace. It was rare to see them so early in the evening.

"How is this possible?"

"This garden is darker than other places, and these fireflies only sparkle from dusk to early evening."

Roadne looked at Adrien's eyes, which were sparkling like the fireflies in front of him. His heart pounded. He felt a little lighter, as if he were in a garret rather than in a beautiful party hall. The jealousy that started once had tormented him so much that he woke up startled in the middle of the night. He felt like his eyes were going to burst into flames whenever he saw someone else reach a place he could only reach after dozens, hundreds of considerations. He wanted to reach Adrien too. He wanted to reach him more intimately than anyone else. As long as he could reach him in that way, he would have been fine even if Adrien's soul was in the most insignificant creature. He felt sick to his stomach seeing Adrien casually say that they wanted to be friends with other people. The reality that this was not the time to be jealous made him even crazier. Moreover, his heart sank deeply when he thought of Adrien, who was startled at the mere touch of his hand and pulled her hand away. But how could he suppress his burning heart whenever Prince Elacon, or even young Epero, looked at Adrien with curious eyes?

"It's so... beautiful. I've never seen anything like this."

"On the night of your debutante ball, I wanted to show you this place, and I had something I wanted to say."

Would they run away if he said he loved them? Roadne couldn't overcome the impulse that was welling up in his throat.

****

"What did you want to say?"

I had been momentarily distracted by the beautiful sight in front of me, but I gasped at Roadne's movement as he pressed closer and closer behind me. I leaned against the terrace railing, stumbling back as Roadne approached me. As I flinched at the approaching aura, Roadne grabbed the terrace railing tightly with me between us. I could clearly feel his inhalations and exhalations right above my head. It was torture. Even though his breath was as light as a feather, every time his breath spilled over my crown and my exposed nape, all my attention was drawn to it.

'Oh, what should I do.'

My heart was pounding madly. The seductive lavender scent that had filled Roadne's jacket the day he gave it to me began to tickle my nose from behind. I couldn't even say what he wanted to say. I felt like my throat was being strangled, and I thought I would make a sound worse than a squashed frog. He hesitated for a long time. He gripped the railing so tightly that several thick tendons bulged on the back of his hand.

"Adrien, I..."

As soon as Roadne opened his heavy mouth, other voices burst out.

"Oh, here you are?"

"Found you! It took forever!"

It seemed like the noisy people had found us while searching the garden and were approaching from the front, waving their arms wildly. The two cheerful young men quickly approached the terrace below, expressing their joy with their whole bodies.

"Wow! These fireflies are still alive. Come down here. Madam! Let's look together!"

"There's something beautiful. Here too."

My body, which had been stiff with tension, relaxed with a snap. I carefully turned my head towards Roadne. Roadne, who was looking down at the ground with his chin raised and his eyes deeply immersed, had a cold, almost icy atmosphere.

"There are more if you go a little deeper into the garden! Come on! Brother! Madam!"

"Come on. Quickly."

"I... Your Highness?"

Roadne, who had been staring at the ground for a long time, looked at me, only rolling his eyes. My breath caught.

"...Are you going?"

"Yes? Uh... shouldn't I? I... I'm also accompanying those people, and... the party is still..."

I was both embarrassed and, honestly, a little disappointed because I thought I could see the beautiful sight more closely if I went further in. Roadne looked at me with regretful eyes for a while and then jumped down into the terrace below. And in front of the two men who had extended their arms to me, he extended his arms even wider and received me as I followed him down. We went deeper into the garden. Victor, whose next target seemed to be Roadne rather than me, constantly poured out curious questions about the fireflies. Roadne hardly answered, but he responded firmly and sharply whenever Victor made a strange nonsense. I watched the fireflies blankly with Epero, listening to their conversation from a little distance away. It was like a dream to be in a healthy body and looking at these fireflies in the palace.

"Is that you?"

Epero, who had been acting quite cheerfully earlier, lowered his voice when I was momentarily immersed in the contemplation of the fireflies swirling around. Feeling a slight chill at the sudden and strange question, I wrapped my arms around myself.

"...Yes?"

"He wrote to me."

Epero, with two small dimples on one side of his cheek, was clearly trying to be playful, but his voice was cold. The firefly lights flickering in his deep blue eyes seemed to be swallowed up by something completely black. This prince knew, didn't he? Epero's bold gaze, who was on the verge of adulthood, was directly on me. I barely managed to stretch the corners of my lips, grasping the heart that had been moved by the fireflies.

"What are you talking about?"

"I know the Ronta royal family very well, and I can't think of anyone who would call me to play the role of their son, no matter how hard I try."

"Well, Your Highness might have thought differently."

When I spoke casually, Epero narrowed his eyes. He was accusing me based on mere suspicion without any evidence. I absolutely couldn't get involved.

"The Grand Duke is one of the people who wants me to stay out of Elacon. Rather, wasn't it an idea that came from the head of the Grand Duke's so-called wife? ...That's what I think."

Epero smirked again, raising his little finger.

"Anyway, since we have to see each other's faces for a while, don't be so mean."

I soothed him like an adult. Epero waved his little finger as if to show it off, then gathered it and whispered softly.

"Well, I don't care about others, but I quite like my brother Roan. So I'm warning you, Madam."

Warning. My body stiffened at the word warning. Epero took a step closer to me.

"Play with His Imperial Highness as much as you want. But don't cross the line with my brother Roan. There's a limit to how much I can accommodate you."

"...What are you saying?"

"It's not a big deal if you have one more scandal, Madam?"

His flashing blue eyes scanned my lips and neck lasciviously. This damn fool...

"Madam's face... it's exactly my type."

...What an insolent brat!
