A sense of rejection washed over him.? Having a weakness? Theres no way.Max had never been defeated in war and thus considered himself perfect and flawless. It was natural for him to feel repulsed by the word weakness.
I dont want to, he said.
Please, Max. If you keep acting like this Jubelian sighed.
As Max looked into her calm, but warm eyes, he felt strangely relaxed. Okay, he said, finally loosening his grip that was almost crushing Mikhails arm.
Thank you. Jubelian smiled at him.
Mistaking the smile for himself, the corners of Mikhails mouth lifted.Yeah, this is how its supposed to be.No matter what he did, Jubelian was always on his side. Mikhails smile widened as he regained his confidence for his faltering faith. Jubelian, who had been looking at Max the whole ti, turned toward him.Is she finally going to look at ?he awaited in joy. However, his happiness was soon crushed when he heard what she said next.
Get your hand off of , Mikhail Albert Hessen.
Mikhail felt as if his heart was being cut into a thousand pieces by her ruthless words.

I could see the look of shock on Mikhails face as soon as I finished speaking. It was natural for him to react that way since I had always respected him in the past. This was the first ti Ive ever shown him the power of my authority. Even so, he should have had this attitude towards
from the beginning. After all, I had personally lowered my standards for a man of an inferior status. Now, there was no longer any reason for
to continue showing him generosity as I had a higher social status as the dukes daughter.
Didnt I tell you to let go? Can you not hear ? I questioned Mikhail. He eventually let go of my hand without any objections. I scowled at him as I touched my tender wrist. It looked like I was going to end up with a bruise, seeing how he left a red mark.
Hes really annoying ,I spitefully thought. Since I felt guilty for what I did to him in my past life, I was being considerate towards him as much as I could. But there was no reason for
to continue if he was just going to be inconsiderate to .
Forcefully touching others without their consent is an act of violence. I hope you havent done this to anyone other than , I spit out courageously. I then rembered that Max had grabbed Mikhails wrist as if to damage it a few monts ago.
Since Max did sothing to him, Ill just call it even.
However, because of what my boyfriend has done to you, I will forgive your rudeness, I continued with a sigh. At the word forgiveness, he raised his head.
Whats the purpose of ignoring
now after telling
that you loved
so much? he uttered in a somber tone.
I beca sowhat puzzled and frowned at his words.Wait, isnt it better if I pretend to not know him?At this point, I didnt know if it was worth it to reply to his illogical words.
Mikhail smirked at my dumbfounded expression. By any chance, are you trying to get my attention?
What kind of change in attitude was this? He wasnt even acting ridiculous anymore; in fact, I thought he had gone crazy.I dont know why hes doing this to
again.His sudden strange behavior was starting to give
a headache, but I soon regained my reason when I figured out the cause behind his actions.Ah, I see. Hes probably paranoid because I stalked him for the past two years.It was a bit unfortunate, but if I left things as they were, then he might continue coming up with bizarre anings behind my behavior in the future.
Ill make this clear for you. Im no longer interested in you, I explained. I spoke politely to him out of pity, but I clearly stated my disinterest.This should be good enough, right?
I thought I had resolved the misunderstanding, but contrary to my beliefs, he shouted while his face contorted in pain. You said you loved !
What he said was an undeniable fact, so I nodded at his words. Yes, I did.
He looked at
with a peculiar expression, as if wondering if I was going to change my mind. I could see his slightly flushed cheeks and his wavering purple eyes. If I thought about it, I might have been able to figure out what he was thinking. If I were my past self, I probably would have gotten my hopes up. But none of that mattered now. I had already ended my relationship with him.
But not anymore, I finished.
I approached Max, who was watching us with a scowl. Lets go, I said, but he didnt budge an inch.
Hes probably sulking because I told him to let go of Mikhails wrist.I locked my arm with his and spoke gently as if soothing a little kid. Ill buy you cake, so please stop being mad at , okay? At that mont, he flinched and moved his arm so that it would be easier for us to link arms.Did he want to eat cake that much? What a simple guy.I smiled at him then glanced back at Mikhail and opened my mouth.
From now on, dont try to talk to
anymore. I dont want to get involved with you ever again, I said sincerely then started walking to the carriage.
What kind of cake should we eat today?
