Although I was taken aback by this unexpected predicant, I didnt reveal my uneasiness in fear that the rumors might be established as a fact. I cald myself down and glared at the young man.
Who said I was deeply in love? I asked, acting as if he had just said sothing ridiculous.
He shook his head. I dont know the details either. This rumor has been spreading around lately I just happened to overhear it.
I frowned. If everyone knew that I was the subject of this rumor but no one knew my supposed lovers identity, it mustve been created out of malice.If soone indeed saw my fathers disciple, the person who started this rumor probably guessed his identity to add details. They might have ntioned his handso appearance as well.
After grasping the situation, I deliberately raised my voice to show my bewildernt. I stay at ho most of the ti, so thats not possible! If necessary, I can gather witnesses who recently visited the estate.
In response to my stubborn denial, he let out a sigh of relief. So the rumors werent true after all.
I smiled. Yes, so you can rest assured.
My lady. He suddenly kneeled before .
What is the aning of this, Lord Rowen? I asked with surprise.
He continued to stare at with a serious expression without standing up.Is there sothing else that he needs to tell ?As I looked at him anxiously, he lowered his head.
Im sorry, he muttered regretfully.
I frowned at his sudden apology. Youre sorry? What do you an?
He stared at intensely. I made a big mistake.
A mistake? What do you an by that?
I thought you were going to refuse my request, so I have already partnered with another lady.
His unexpected declaration hit like a ton of bricks.You an you acted rashly before even receiving my reply?It was proper etiquette to always respond to requests, as well as wait for a response before asking another prospective partner. I was lucky that I hadnt sent a response to the two other n yet, otherwise, I wouldve had to attend the banquet by myself.And if I did that, my father would ntion the marriage list to .
The man in front of twisted his expression as if he was truly troubled. I have always dread of this day. Unfortunately, I lack no, its because of my carelessness.
He was acting with such distress that it seed like he was truly sorry. I felt relieved that he ca. Thanks to him, I had the chance to learn about the ill-intended rumor.If I ignore what he had just told about, it might cause a ss in the future Although its botherso, I will have to dig deeper into it.
I forced out a laugh to show that I wasnt offended. Dont worry, I can just find another partner. Why dont you get up?
Are you an angel? he muttered under his breath.
What? I asked, wondering if I had heard him wrong.
Oh, no. I ant that you have the heart of an angel, he quickly anded.
Hm Im obviously a villainess, but he compared to an angel.Other people would laugh at this comparison, but I forgave him, knowing that he was exaggerating.
Although I cant make up for one of the biggest mistakes in my life, I truly regret it. It was obvious why he was apologizing excessively to ; he didnt want to tell my father about this incident.
I never intended on telling him even if he doesnt do thatI looked back at his gaze which was making uncomfortable and tried to console him. But he spoke again in a sorrowful voice before I could do so.
Most of all, Im afraid that my careless actions may have hurt your feelings.
I was growing tired of his excessive apologies, despite my repeated attempts to tell him that it was okay. Dont be, Lord Rowen. I must thank you for bringing this rumor to my attention and for taking the ti to visit.
Thank you for forgiving , Lady Floyen, he said with a bitter smile. When it looked like he was about to leave, he suddenly leaned into and whispered, I was upset because I thought I wasnt qualified but Im comforted by your words, my lady.
Huh? Not qualified?I was about to ask him what he ant by that, but he continued to speak.
In that case, why dont we The man trailed off and abruptly shut his mouth. He stared at the window behind with a pale expression.
Why is he acting like that? It seems like he saw sothing scary.I turned around to see what caused him to look so pale, but there was nothing unusual.
