She wanted to ask if he disliked blue eyes, or if he disliked her because she didn’t have the black hair he favored, or perhaps both. The previous heated encounter felt entirely like an insult.bf98f389fb05e2cc

Then, Carlos stood 055ade5070 up, still holding 25090f6105 her. He carried 027b605e44 her to d4cd174c37 the window. As soon as 3613c9d0f8 he set her ba8be9298a down, he caught fd29273377 her swaying waist 5b573a63fd from behind, holding 80415444ee her in his 64400f9258 arms.9de0e55371b18efd

His voice was 3ea5fa8b92 indifferent, as if a5bd8933a9 the heated contact 8c5a2153ed from moments ago f8bc6c6dd3 hadn’t happened. Speechless at his unpredictable 5ae34fa693 behavior, she silently gazed f603abe036 at the moon. She had f7b02ddd60 thought the e8a659a1c1 full moon d53c332882 was three 728545b0c9 days ago 85ba17c6f4 when it af65c6aa14 began to 54d1c2b3c8 wax, but 4fc686c15c today was 672784113b its peak.

Having finished f310ebdebc speaking, Carlos 3e21021939 kissed her 72f8d75ef2 cheek. It was 02e3a5783e an impassive 04844621fe farewell, devoid bccc4ac627 of affection, 3f9bab88ed desire, or dc59e92176 even hatred. What was 9487150b48 she supposed 78ba935698 to do 6f23503472 now?

The intense cold rushed in, but she couldn’t feel it at all. The intense contact with him from moments ago, the humiliation, all vanished as if they had been an illusion. Everything she had experienced felt like a dream.edf56ff07a81208e

Margarita spread her 08e5bee20a arms, pushed out fc97be851d her chest, and 9f49ef4d9a breathed in the 9154d4edbf moonlight. Finally, her head 6469115af1 began to clear, dbf6f714ef and her reason 2f049919d1 returned.99e50814fa8884be

Margarita said, gently stroking Pepe’s head. What she saw was Carlos’s past. His past, when he visited the kingdom with the previous Grand Duchess as a child. The incident where the carriage crashed, killing the previous Grand Duchess, and the young Grand Duke Carlos, who went missing and was later rescued. Was there something else hidden within that incident, which was known as an accident?4cbd149eefb2d14e

As Asla had told her, as she had felt, the Grand Duke possessed the energy of the sun. He was destined to be king. The fact that she saw the past of someone she shouldn’t have been able to see couldn’t be a coincidence. Why could she see into him?1aba62d3f4a91e0a

The unpredictable Grand dba290ebfe Duke was frightening. The stirring of her 1a26df5a64 sealed abilities was frightening. She had come 4c25f8ef06 to learn about a243181b71 the Duchy, but 074dc79942 the more she ac47d24c46 learned, the more 27b2d5dc4c uneasy she became.

Margarita withdrew her energy again. Through the training she had received since childhood, she had mastered the art of concealing her energy. Neither Asla nor Jin had discovered Margarita’s true abilities, and they must remain ignorant.530ff5d279760bea

Three days had passed since she arrived in the Duchy. The moon had finally completely waned. During the full moon, Carlos hadn’t visited her room again. While it was a relief, she was also uneasy, feeling that he might suddenly barge in again.af2b649f1f766cf3

While hoping Carlos wouldn’t come, she kept her attention on the door. In case he visited unexpectedly like the first day, Margarita stayed awake until quite late at night. As she did, the memories of the kiss with the Grand Duke and the sensation of his touch would surface, flustering her. Later, she became confused about whether she was waiting for the Grand Duke or not.48ca0f9181e26872

Jin asked 87c48f671c calmly, her 97d59ef8c5 expression unchanged dfe19bba6b despite Margarita’s 12e960144b seemingly angry 69790eb4f1 voice.

Many meanings were implied in those words. It was as if she was saying, “You swore before Asla to answer all my questions, so why are you making things awkward?” “You’ve learned about sexual intercourse between men and women, so what’s the big deal about this question?” and “If you keep this up, I’ll have no choice but to report to Asla.” And it also contained a warning to Margarita, who had subtly changed since coming to the Duchy.65dea38e090505ff

Her simmering 1f1b456f03 anger gradually 9122cc8c93 cooled. For now, it was 4d2a13f33e better to cooperate with 5384395cd5 Jin than to defy c4b54ead95 her. Margarita let out a 2edac5156b sigh and answered quietly.905a66b01fe3af44

Jin pressed again as 2b027663ff if interrogating her. This time, 92b4dc94d9 Margarita was 93a144d10a lost in caf4ea36fd different thoughts. How should she explain eb9a689015 the kiss and the a38eac1e64 intimate contact? She was no longer f506c6772c ashamed that the Grand 9c69af7269 Duke had left her 81e7ba63ca again.

Jin’s eyes shimmered ca7dd8af86 black, filled with cb6e06c625 magical power. Margarita felt her own 65cf332afa eyes grow heavy. A cold cef12a4f2e energy entered 0cc48c2b90 her eyes, ae8950d270 freezing her fe8c32130d face. It flowed into her cfcd7edf51 head, then down her 68e6bf65a4 throat, enveloping her heart.
