Prince, Albert’s heart, which had been quiet at that one word, began to stir again.

What did you want to convey?

Why didn’t they tell us until the end?

Is there something I shouldn’t know?

Jealousy filled my mind, and the thoughts that came from it ate away at my head.

The overwhelming feeling rose to the top of my throat and then subsided.

The silence that had once felt comfortable became more uncomfortable than ever.

So, Albert opened his mouth.

Even though he suppressed his emotions as much as possible, his voice had a slight tremor.

“Luna, I heard you almost fell. Are you okay?”

[Yes, it’s okay.]

“I’m glad the prince helped me.”

Prince.

Luna’s hand suddenly stopped at the words Albert spoke.

It was because the memory of being hugged by the prince came to mind.

Of course, it was an unavoidable situation.

If I hadn’t been hugged by him, I would have fallen to the floor.

It wasn’t even something that happened intentionally.

However, the fact that I was hugged did not change.

It was something that an engaged woman should never have done.

I am convinced that she is a cross-dressing woman, but that is only my personal opinion.

‘But if it’s Prince Albert… .’

If you tell them the truth and apologize, they will definitely understand.

Luna was thinking like that.

But I couldn’t move my hands at all.

My heart ached and I felt uncomfortable.

The silence that filled the carriage was so heavy.

It came again.

Whenever she was with Albert, the unknown feelings that had been bothering her appeared again without fail.

Normally, I would have somehow endured it and regained my composure.

Luna was currently drunk.

[Why did you leave me alone?]

It was ridiculous and unreasonable.

Albert asked for understanding. I’m going to leave for a while.

The one who allowed it was none other than Luna herself.

If I had said no, if I had even shook my head, he would have been by my side.

Luna also knew those facts.

However, the writing hand had no intention of stopping.

[Actually, isn’t that what you think too? I find it annoying to be mute.]

no. He is definitely not the person to do that.

[It’s okay to be honest. Because I can’t break the engagement.]

Why on earth do I keep conveying this meaning?

I was embarrassed that my actions were different from my thoughts.

My hands are shaking.

I racked my brain to find the reason, but my drunken mind couldn’t function properly.

[Perhaps you are hoping that I will be connected to the prince.]

ah.

As soon as Luna typed the period, she quickly moved her pen to cover the writing.

Don’t you know very well how much effort Albert put into it for you?

No matter what, it was something that should not have been done.

‘Why does this happen?’

In a broken heart, emotions cannot form and are scattered.

All these things came together and created confusion.

For Luna, emotions were still very difficult.

As I realized it too late, it was even more difficult to accept.

“Huh… .”

Albert let out a helpless laugh, and Luna flinched for a moment.

Albert was dumbfounded.

This was because Luna was angry.

They also give ridiculous reasons.

In particular, the last writing was so bad that I couldn’t read it.

Just like Luna, Albert, who was also drunk, began to vent his emotions.

“Do you even know who I am working so hard for?”

It was a truly disgusting statement.

He said he didn’t want anything in return, but he brought it up.

“Sorry for being absent. But, does that mean you immediately start flirting with the prince?”

There was no snickering. She just stood there with the same expression as always.

“And I probably told you this last time too. Don’t put yourself down. If you don’t want to do it, can’t you just not do it?”

What on earth is she saying to encourage such thoughts? There is no fool like this.

“And what? Are you connected to the prince? Did you say I wanted that?”

[Yes, Confucius, I am troublesome… .]

Luna’s hands move quickly.

Her emotions seemed to be visible in the handwriting.

Albert continued speaking without waiting for her.

Courtesy was useless in the face of emotions.

“If you write something like that one more time, I won’t stay silent.”

Not only the choice of words, but also the tone was quite harsh.

It was hard to believe that he was saying these words to someone he loved.

I may have made a mistake due to emotions taking over in the moment.

However, Luna was a surprisingly stubborn woman.

Huh, she sighed briefly and started moving the pen.

[I did not flirt with the prince. I just wanted to thank them for their help. And you said you wouldn’t stay still. Are you even threatening me? I’m really curious what you’ll do.]

An expressionless face, and clear handwriting.

Albert didn’t quite like that appearance, which was no different from usual.

Unlike my emotionally fluctuating self, he seemed so calm that I felt a little grumpy.

However, Luna’s mind was not that calm either.

I just didn’t realize it myself, and it was a much more complicated situation than Albert’s.

This was because the emotions that had begun to open my eyes were tangled up here and there, unable to find their place.

And, of course, those emotions influenced behavior.

It made me do things I wouldn’t normally do.

A blue line began to be drawn in the air.

[Confucius wants me to be connected to the prince… .]

Albert clearly warned in quite harsh words.

Don’t cross this line.

However, Luna, unable to control her emotions, ended up crossing the line.

If so, what will you do?

It was time to pay the price for ignoring the warning.

widely-.

Albert grabbed Luna’s wrist.

Because I couldn’t stand to see that sentence being completed.

Although it was controlled, the power of an adult male who had trained radish was quite strong for a noblewoman to feel.

Luna frowned at the sudden pain.

Albert’s heart weakened for a moment upon seeing her like that, but when her expression soon returned to its usual state, he let out a sigh.

“Didn’t I tell you not to do it?”

The two eyes looked at each other.

The underlying feelings might have been the same.

“Yes, that’s right. I would rather take this opportunity to tell you clearly. Luna, I don’t want you to be connected to the prince.”

What did that mean? Luna wanted to ask.

However, I couldn’t do it.

It’s only one hand.

The way I could convey my thoughts to him disappeared just by holding his hand.

It was as if it showed the difference between him and myself.

It felt like they were nailing me for not being able to stand next to them.

Why does this fact, which I have taken for granted until now, feel so uncomfortable?

A feeling of being pressed against my chest arose.

Albert let go of the wrist he was holding without saying a word.

And then I looked lonely out the window.

It was a night with the moon shining brightly.

Since then, the two have not had any conversation.

There was an awkward silence, but no one gathered courage.

That atmosphere continued even after arriving at the mansion.

Daniel and Daisy noticed something strange and asked what was going on, but the two just vaguely ignored it.

Even when we ran into each other in the hallway before going to bed, we just looked at each other for a moment. We didn’t even say good night.

The two entered their respective rooms and lay down on their respective beds.

But should I say it’s natural? There was no way I could fall asleep easily.

Luna, who had been tossing and turning, got up from the bed and walked to the window.

When I carefully opened the window and looked down, I saw a garden showing off its beauty under the moonlight.

Looking at the flowers gently swaying, I felt a little calmed down.

Meanwhile, at that time, Albert was also doing the same thing.

after-.

Albert let out a short sigh of frustration and opened the window.

As I breathed in the cool air, my mind seemed to calm down a little.

Then, when I suddenly looked down, I saw a garden bathed in moonlight.

When you think of a garden, of course, she couldn’t help but come to mind.

‘What is Luna doing?’

Thinking like that, Albert stuck his head out the window.

With a small expectation that something might happen.

‘What is Prince Albert doing?’

Thinking like that, Luna stuck her head out the window.

Likewise, I had small expectations.

Their gazes intersect in the air.

thud-!

When their eyes met, the two hurriedly closed the window as if they were competing with each other.

The two were confused by the conflict they were experiencing for the first time.
