Chapter 21

What Cassion said was quite a plausible deduction

Perhaps it was the best assuh It’s all wrong

Nevertheless, when Cassion said his family name with such a solemn tone, Rosetta felt a bit e so ansith a confident expression

After thinking about what to say, Rosetta slowly opened her lips

“It’s good to have a lot of i”

“Lies”

Please

As his grirew

However, instead of doing this, Rosetta answered once more with endless patience

“I don’t care if youI needed to say, just reoal is to make you the Duke of Carter It’s up to you whether or not you takedeclaration was cut off at once, the pressure that she exuded was considerable

To the point where the face of the woman who had been relaxed all this time looked terribly cold

“But?”

Cassion was anxious as he stared at her closed red lips When Rosetta had closed her lips, Cassion blinked vacantly Still, he could feel tension on his back as he continued to be cautious

‘Should I stop here for today?’

As she stared at Cassion, she thought it would be better if she wouldn’t speakmuch, this would only raise his defensesin a day

It’s not that she had a lot of time, but it also didn’t mean that she had no time at all for this

As she concluded like this, Rosetta kept her lips closed

And a curve dawned upon her lips

“You’ll hear the answer toht Come to think of it, you’re a patient, but I pushed you too hard”

“What are you even…”

“I’ll coht out tomorrow Until then, rest well and think about what I had proposed Oh, and if you need anything, feel free to call an attendant”

“Wait…”

“But be careful not to show your eye color when you call any employees, understand?”

Despite Cassion’s bewildere him with these words

At her last question, he didn’t even realize that he had nodded

Satisfied with Cassion’s apparent obedience, Rosetta looked around the room one last time, then waved her hand waresture, like a flower tree swaying in the wind

“Then, I’ll see you tomorrow”

“……”

It was very natural, the way she said it Cassion couldn’t even protest, even until Rosetta had turned her back and went towards the door

It was only after he saw her slender fingers hold the doorknob that he snapped out of it and felt that he had to hold onto her

“No, just wait a second, Princess Val—ugh”

He called out to her hurriedly, but his words were drowned out by a groan

His body was still in a bad condition, and he suddenly felt burdened by his injuries as he groaned painfully

Creeeak

At theopen, Cassion clutched his side and raised his head

The first thing he saas her fluttering hair

And her face as she passed by

Rosetta looked back at Cassion for a

‘What a cold expression’

This was his only thought

“Good night”

But the voice that flowed through her lips eet Then soon, the door closed

Rosetta had already left the room, but Cassion’s eyes were still locked on the spot where she had just been

“Don’t… go”

The words that he couldn’t utter earlier leaked out as though they had burst from his lips

Cassion’s eyes tre right now’

After being left alone, the pain seeain

And his mouth was dry

He slumped and held his head with both hands for a ht his eye

‘That’s…’

It was the cloak that Rosetta had taken off

It was a black cloak that blended perfectly with the darkness

His red eyes shone sharply

And they continued to glimmer as he looked out the

“Urk…”

Cassion clutched his side and stood up

Every time he moved, his body screamed in protest, but this was bearable

Because his entire life had been filled ounds and pain that he needed to endure

He limped towards the chair

To be exact, it was towards the pitch-black cloak
