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.db39d32baee2e83e

Then, Carlos stood 3a5af61ab9 up, still holding f8ed32ee50 her. He carried her d9ad70a7c3 to the window. As soon 6364fc1fa3 as he 5d30645f8f set her 80fd580da0 down, he bf703843d3 caught her 837a0731b6 swaying waist db5e9995e0 from behind, 33c796910e holding her c1536e8822 in his 472300b14c arms.189acf1abcbe9683

His voice was 9842ca8c5c indifferent, as if 6e62973c56 the heated contact 9b3f80316c from moments ago 16d0e696b2 hadn’t happened. Speechless at his fb24ca9399 unpredictable behavior, she 6258fdb167 silently gazed at 2bb068b58a the moon. She had thought the 6ee97be5af full moon was three 492e6f9275 days ago when it a832dd2bdc began to wax, but 5aea3c49c6 today was its peak.

What was 636ab24457 she supposed fd8d77c40c to do e8b47c1d53 now? Her body was still 190a8657ad hot, but her mind 92452ec8e7 had cooled, leaving her 11d1dc4e8d in confusion.

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.5a035f08eae219e3

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?3ad0e1c99e2a1608

The unpredictable Grand e81fc9b40c Duke was frightening. The stirring e9f5ef4904 of her b17450debd sealed abilities b476caf24c was frightening.

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.4474b09d70d9fecf

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.a85f78ac1d2452a5

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.65f53933ed2a0d42

Jin’s eyes shimmered 6b0151038a black, filled with eb696e72e3 magical power. Margarita felt her own 5695b7b2a5 eyes grow heavy.
