Chapter 132
A few days later, I was processing the invitations addressed to me as usual.
Oh, this drink is delicious.
I took a sip of the drink Livya gave me.
Livya smiled contentedly seeing my reaction.
Still, the alcohol is suprisingly strong, so drink it slowly.
I glanced at Livya. She was pretty today as well, and she gave off the scent of a luxurious perfume that was in fashion these days.
I sighed silently. It was truly a great pity to her enemy if she was in the princess side.
What can I do for you?
Livyas voice turned sharp as there was someone approaching us.
I also turned my head.
It was a guy who Id never seen before. He was a man with a slender build in a black suit. His fox smile gave off people the feeling of intimacy.
I didnt know this guy, but Livya seemed familiar with that face. The hostility that appeared on her face was rather sharp.
Oh my, I apologize to disturb you, ladies.
Apologize accepted, then you could leave, Count Bill Curtis.
Bill Curtis? I frowned. It was familiar name. It was the sender of the strange love letter.
Despite Livyas cold reaction, the man still has a smile on his face.
Im sorry, but I have a matter to discuss with you companion, Lady Priscilla.
What is it?
Its an honor to meet you, Lady Fiona Heilon. Please call me by my name.
I blew my nose at that cheap trick.
I dont think thats going to happen. As far as I remember, this is the first time Ive met you. Right, what is it?
Have you received my letter sometimes ago?
Yes I got it. But I think my respond has been clear enough.
By not replying at all.
Could you spare me a moment of your precious time?
Why was this guy suddenly interested in seeing me? This was annoying. I think I could understand why Livya didnt like this guy very much, because now I found him very unpleasant.
I wanted to know what matter this guy had, but I felt sorry for Livya as it would a bother for her.
Okay, but only for a moment.
It was not a good thing for a noble lady to be alone with a man she didnt know well and who had a crush on her. However, because it was me who was the noble lady, I could make an exception since I had the power to suppress the bad things that could possibly happen. If he was going to do something sinister, I could just grill him a whole
Wait, wasnt that too much? Gosh, I felt like my mind was getting a little radical as the days went by.
Bill Curtis and I arrived at the terrace.
It seemed like you dont understand. So, Id tell you in advance, Count Curtis. Not replying itself was a refusal.
I know.
You knew that yet why did you call me, you bastard?
But I still want to have just one intimate talk.
I crossed my arms. Hopefully, that intimate matter wont test my patience.
Sure, what is it?
Bill Curtis grinned.
I know Lady Fiona very well.
I almost flinched as if something was poking me. But I answered sarcastically with my calm face.
What? The fact that I am an illegitimate child? Oh lord, there are many people who talk about that as my weakness.
He paid no attention to my hard attitude.
No, not that kind.
Anyway, I cant be bothered by these words.
I asked irritably. Then what do you know?
Bill Curtis smiled and held out his hand.
If you come with me, I will let you know.
What the fuck.
My lady, Ive already written it in the letter. If we are together, we could do everything in this world. Please, make a wise choice.
This guy was the type of a person who could not be swept away just once move.
I could see why Livya was so hostile.
I dont need it, and I dont care. Im going, Count.
Bill Curtis let out an exaggerated sigh.
Its a pity. Then please accept this.
He pulled out a black envelope from his chest.
If its a letter, I dont need it
I wanted to return to the hall quickly, so I took the invitation letter and turned around.
Then I heard Bills voice behind my back.
My lady, please think about it. At least, Ill be worth a lot more than His Highness if Im the one who is on your side.
So now, he dared to talk about the value of Sigren?
I turned around. Hearing what youve said changed my mind.
Bills face lit up. Did you decide to go with me?
No.
I smiled.
shriek
I tore the invitation I was holding in half.
For the first time, a look of bewilderment appeared on Bills relaxed expression. I guessed he didnt expect I would react like this.
I dropped the torn invitation to the floor and smashed it with my heel. Then I smiled a rather arrogant smile that Abel often did.
This is my answer.
I gave a cold warning. If you ever again try talking about the value of the prince one more time, I wont let it go.
I turned around without looking back.
Tak Tak
The sound of my high heels as I stepped forward in anger resonated clearly in the hallway.
