Chapter 75

There were many attendees, so people had to line up so that they may pay their respects to the dead

When the ive up their spots on the line, but the duke refused

Because he wasn’t the kind of person ould cut in lines

Soon enough, it was House Valentine’s turn

Duke Valentine and Damian went ahead towards Duke and duchess Carter

Originally, only Duke Valentine would have headed towards Duke and duchess Carter, and Da each other’s stature was only natural, wasn’t it?

The head of the household would match the head of the household, while the successor would match the successor

However, since Leo had yet to be formally announced as the ducal household’s successor, Damian instead approached Duke and duchess Carter

Thanks to this, it was up to Alicia and Rosetta to greet Leo and offer their condolences

That’s hoas in the original work, and now, that’s how it is in reality

Rosetta’s steps were heavy as she walked closer to the tall ht in front of hi in front of an eneht was that she wanted to hide Alicia behind her

The ht

For a htmare of the past carimace

However, Rosetta schooled her features And with a light sigh, she then looked up

It was customary for the bereaved family not to wear any veils on their faces, so when she looked up, she saw the hably enough, this was Rosetta’s first impression of Leo

Red hair, red eyes, red lips

As though covered in blood, the crimson man was a marvelously handsome man

His sharp eyes resembled Cassion’s, but other than that, his appearance and overall atmosphere was different

As Cassion was a handsome man who had a sorrowful and neat air to him, then this other man had the kind of atmosphere that was incredibly dense

If she were to put it into words, he looked exactly like how the st novel would look like

As Rosetta cahtly raised beneath her veil

Yeah, what’s the point of being handsome, huh No matter how you look at him, he’s just a lunatic htly nodded and greeted her

“Thank you for cos me sorrow that we have toDuke”

They briefly exchanged fors like this

“I heard it was an accident”

When Rosetta asked, a pained sraced Leo’s lips, then he nodded once more

“Yes, that’s what happened It was such a terrible accident that we couldn’t even recover his body”

Following the pained smile, even his voice sounded as if it was laced with despair

How dare anyone even think that he was the culprit behind all this

“Goodness, youa faht”

How shameless

To match that shamelessness, Rosetta didn’t step down either

Pressing her lips together first, she then let out a sret

“I do hope you regain your peace ofthis, she held out her hand, with the undertone of wanting to end the conversation here

Leo stared at her outstretched hand for a e fingers of the htly

“Thank you again for co Duke”

After that short handshake, Rosetta stepped aside

That step was lithe, yet heavy

As though changing ed in that instance

At last, the moment had co

The very in

Hidden beneath the veil, Rosetta’s gaze was fastened upon Alicia

In her inal work that started it all

〈 Leo’s red eyes were fixed upon the woman as much too pale 〉

The male lead, who she wanted so much to erase, and the female lead, who she wanted so ht alone made her blood run cold

When Rosetta stepped aside, Alicia stood in the place she once was

No matter who looked at Alicia, it was obvious how very nervous she was

It was only natural since she hadn’t gone out that h society event

This was because Katie had been afraid of her abuse of the girl being exposed to the world

The sainal Rosetta

In any case, he was a stranger How nervousto stand in front of alooks and such a sharp air around hi Duke”

Her stuttering voice sounded pitiable

Even a handful of words was difficult for her to utter, then she paused for a hed inwardly

‘Ha, adorable’

She was adorable even to Rosetta

Yeah, ouldn’t fall for her

While Rosetta thought so, Alicia raised her head

Unlike her older sister’s reaction to the clu, she was embarrassed, and so her porcelain cheeks were dyed red

Leo’s gaze looked beyond the veil and settled upon the eyes beneath those fluttering lashes

“Thank you for cohted to know that you’ve co away into the air, but at the eloquently said answer, her gaze turned back to the ain

“It… It truly i…is a pity that…”

However, her words stopped there

The corners of her eyes started turning as red as her cheeks

Along with the onset of tears, her voice trembled

‘What do I do?’
