I see. Now that the lady has a new lover, a lot of gentlen in the capital will be heartbroken. The conniving man winked and laughed. Should I ntion that I, of course, will be one of them? Max could tell Radian was looking down on him by the way he eyed him while smiling crookedly.
How amusing.When he participated in the war at the age of 16, there were many tis where he was ignored for being a rookie. However, that stopped being the case when he cut off the enemy commanders head and displayed it in the square for all to see. Since the beginning, he was soone who never avoided a fight.Will he still be able to look at
the sa when his tongue is cut off?His mind was starting to fill with brutal thoughts, but when Jubelian suddenly locked arms with him, his anger started to fade.What is she doing?As if to answer Maxs question, Jubelian parted her red lips.
Well be going, then. Were running short on ti for a date.
Maxs expression relaxed at her words.A date?Although he had taken part in an unwanted dress-up, her words confird for him who she was spending ti with. When he realized this, an unfamiliar feeling that was both warm and ticklish started bubbling in his chest.
I hope youll allow
so ti next ti, the mans voice broke the stillness. Max smirked at Radian who continued his act up until the end.
Son of Viscount Droil, huh.As he watched Radian walk away, Max made a vow to place Viscount Droils family on the hit list once the day of the rebellion ca around.The first thing Ill do is rip off that mouth that dared to laugh at .
Maxs eyes were shining with bloodthirst when Jubelian suddenly asked, Do you want to get sothing sweet to eat?
Clearing the savagery from his eyes, Max glanced over at her.
Im just stressed out from seeing that irkso guy, she explained.
He wasnt sure what the phrase stressed out ant, but he did understand that she was speaking ill of Radian. Then we can get rid of him, right? As the daughter of a duke, it will be simple to exterminate a viscounts family.
At his words, Jubelian let out a sigh and hardened her expression. I really hate him, but I dont want to get rid of him.
Why? Jubelian sighed again at Maxs oblivious tone.
Its like I hate rats, but I dont want to go through the trouble of killing them just to see their dead bodies. Do you know what I an?
Max learned sothing important from her words.I see she doesnt like killing.For so reason, he beca depressed at this thought.Is this why shes afraid of the crown prince?
Lets stop talking about unpleasant things and get so sweets. I know a good place. Jubelians lively voice brought him back to reality.
Max stared at her in return.I hate sweet things.Mistaking his silence for affirmation, Jubelian began pulling on his arm.
Im sure youll like it. If he wanted to, he could have refused, but he didnt. Instead, Max allowed himself to be helplessly dragged along.
They soon arrived at an indescribably glamorous tearoom. Jubelian looked over to Max as if she were expecting so sort of reaction, but he was indifferent.Its average,he thought. No matter how colorful the interior was, it was diocre in the eyes of soone who grew up in a palace full of gold.
Hello, my lady. What would you like to order? When the clerk brought out the nu, Jubelian looked over to Max.
What do you like? I like strawberry cake. To be honest, he hated sweets, but he felt that if he told her the truth then her smile would disappear.
I want the sa thing, he said instead.
I think you and I have similar tastes. Max slightly furrowed his eyebrows at her words.
Theyre completely different.Cucumbers, showy clothes, and sweets were all things he hated. This whole ti he had been shaping himself to like what she liked of his own accord, but the other party hadnt noticed it so far.Its amazing how dense she is,Max sighed in frustration.

Mikhails expression twisted into one of irritation when he laid his eyes on the face of soone who he didnt want to see. What brings you here again?
Radian lifted a glass at his question. Lets sit down first and then well talk. He was extrely displeased to see how Radian used the excuse of him being his cousin to drink his expensive alcohol. Instead of sitting down, Mikhail picked up the glass of liquor on the table.
You dont want to talk to
face to face, do you?Radian smirked at his cousins obvious behavior. Did you know?
What? Whatever his vile cousin had to say, Mikhail was determined to not be shaken up this ti. With this pledge in mind, he began to bring the glass to his mouth.
Lady Floyen, I saw her with a man today.
When he heard those absurd words, the glass slipped from Mikhails hand.Clang!There was a loud rupture followed by pieces of glass rolling on the floor. Radian opened his mouth to say sothing but closed it when he noticed the look in his cousins eyes.
I dare you to say sothing like that again. Mikhails bleak voice cut through the silence.
