Chapter 71

Proofreader: somnium

Artizea danced two songs and then returned to her seat.

There seemed to be something like a butterfly in her chest. Whenever the hem of her skirt spread out like a flower petal, she felt a fluttering in her heart, and it was painful.

Artizea turned away from it.

‘I can do well.’

Because she has confidence in being patient.

Don’t let your heart flutter.

So that he can’t hear the pounding sound of her heart.

She will be able to do well.

As she stood up, Cedric asked, holding her hand.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m going to get some fresh air.”

Artizea consciously pressed her face and replied.

She took her hand out of Cedric’s hand.

When she was held, it felt as if she couldn’t get out.

But when she tried to pull out her hand with strength, his entangled hand had no strength. She slipped out easily.

Cedric stood up after her.

“The air is not good.”

“You stay here. The master must not leave.”

“It’s okay. Everyone is enjoying themselves.”

The atmosphere was happily bustling.

Unimaginable numbers of bottles of alcohol had been emptied in Artizea’s honor. People danced in the hall to the cheerful dancing music and enjoyed it.

It wasn’t elegant, but it was a pleasant banquet. Even if Cedric is away for a while, the atmosphere won’t go away.

But Artizea got embarrassed. She went out on the excuse of getting a fresh air, but she was thinking of going back.

“Rather, how about dancing with the lady here?”

Lysia stood up in confusion.

“If the Grand Duchess allows, I’ll take the Grand Duke on board.”

“It’s not possible to leave the banquet hall without dancing once. Did you go out even after receiving a dance request because of me?”

Artizea said so with her smile. Lysia shook her head.

“I’m not good at dancing, and I don’t like it.”

“That’s better. He makes people like me dance quite nicely, so take this opportunity to learn.”

Artizea said so and went outside.

Alice, who was waiting behind her, quickly put a fur cape on her shoulder.

“Madam, why are you doing that?”

“What did I do?”

Alice couldn’t answer because she hesitated.

It feels like Artizea is leaving Cedric to Lysia, but when she thinks about it, perhaps she said it because she was right next to her.

Cedric, who had been stunned for a moment, rushed to her way.

“Tia.”

At the call, Artizea stopped her pace.

Cedric came by.

“Are you angry?”

“Do I look angry?”

Artizea asked in a calm voice. Cedric could not answer.

She didn’t appear to be angry. She looked sad.

“Tia.”

“I’m just a little tired. Why would I be angry when nothing happened?”

“Are you all right?”

Cedric reached out. Artizea took a half step back. Cedric paused his hand and then lowered it.

Artizea said softly.

“Don’t worry. I’m fine. It’s already past midnight, and now I want to rest.”

It was the same attitude and tone as usual.

Cedric didn’t want to stop her because she wanted to rest.

She had celebrated and danced. At other times, she would be tired, so he would have told her to go back and rest.

But she was different now. He realized that something was wrong.

However, he couldn’t even guess what the problem was.

“I’ll take you to your room.”

“It’s okay. Go back. If both of us are missing, the people will be anxious.”

Artizea said so and she turned her back. Alice bowed her head as if sorry to Cedric, and quickly followed Artizea.

Cedric watched until her back disappeared.

Artizea never looked back at him and went all the way to the end of the hallway and climbed the stairs.

Cedric sighed and turned back to the banquet hall, where Lysia appeared.

“Did Her Grace leave? Is she okay?”

“I don’t know.”

Cedric sighed again. Lysia approached him, she asked.

“Did I make a mistake?”

“I don’t think so. You have nothing to worry about. If you had done something wrong, she would have definitely rebuked it.”

“But isn’t she angry?”

“I don’t know that either. She’s a person who doesn’t show her heart. Anyway, it’s not your problem.”

Cedric wiped his face once.

If he did something wrong….. But even when he looked back, he couldn’t guess what he had done wrong.

Lysia smiled.
