Lena felt a drop of water at the tip of her chin. The champagne-covered face was cold. It was not just the face. The spilled champagne was wet to her neck and chest.

Suddenly, Lena, who was covered in champagne, looked at Ruvid in shock.

‘What the hell is this…’

What’s happening?

Lena was stunned, looking left and right. Some of the nobles laughed as if they were very happy, some were surprised, some were embarrassed.

But no one was angry with this man’s behavior. Lena read their reactions and kept her mouth shut.

‘Of course, you all will react like that.’

This became clear. This man was a nobleman who couldn’t be blamed by everyone even if he didn’t obey the rules. Even the Imperial Cardinal, Klavis, who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him. There was only one powerful man at this young age.

‘Ruvid Flanus Grascha.’

The younger brother of Iura Flanus Grascha, the Northern Duke.


‘Yeah, you called me out because you belong to the North.’

Lena finally realized Ruvid’s identity and intentions. When she asked who sent her the invitation, she thought the young woman who was in charge of the North was displeased.

Lena, who had a grasp of the situation, whispered to Ruvid.

“Is this something my father asked you to do?”

“Who’s your father?” Ruvid asked coldly.

The nervous reaction convinced Lena. He had a blatant hostility towards Lena.

For a moment, Ruvid smiled again and took out a handkerchief. Then, he patted Lena on her wet cheek.

“If it’s okay, would you like another drink?”

Lena tried to refuse. But her lips hardened before she could speak. That’s because of Ruvid’s hand, who was wiping her cheek, gradually went down. (uh, what a pervert)

His handkerchief passed Lena’s neck and went down to her collar. Although Lena struggled with that excessive contact, Ruvid laughed like a friendly friend. Then, he pushed the wet handkerchief through Lena’s chest, which was revealed above the dress line. (i really wanna kick him on the ass)

When the handkerchief entered her dress, Ruvid burst into laughter. That was a common thing to do to women who were called for money.

Lena was more embarrassed by the dirty handling than when she had covered with champagne. She wanted to get rid of the handkerchief that came into her dress. But there were too many eyes. All around the ballroom, the eyes of the nobles were hoping for Lena’s clumsiness.

‘What should I do?’

Lena thought desperately about how not to be a laughingstock.

What should she really do?

Poured the same champagne on Ruvid’s face?

Should she blow his throat and grab his hair? (yes ma’am)

Should I use a knife according to Yuni’s advice?

She would love to, but if she did, she’d become a sewer. Like this Ruvid guy who’s off the hook.

Then, Lena pusher her heart out. In front of Ruvid, she smiled gently towards him.

“You smile?”

When Lena smiled casually, Ruvid wrinkled his eyebrows.

Lena pulled out the flowers that decorated her head, pretended she didn’t hear him. Then, the handkerchief on her chest was taken out naturally as she wrapped it with the flowers.

Lena, who made a corsage with flowers and handkerchief, kissed the petals and filled Ruvid’s empty glass with it (she crushed the flowers). When Lena reciprocated her flowers with rudeness, the nobles who watched rattled. Ruvid was also surprised.

Lena smiled more delicately as she looked at the puzzled Ruvid. Then she politely bowed and turned away.

🍃🍃🍃

Lena walked fast across the hall, mulled over the son of a b*tch she just met.

‘Ruvid Flanus. That’s right.’

Noble status. Dazzling blonde. Beautiful face. High-tempered man. These four were the rumors about the characteristic of the Northern Prince, Ruvid Flanus.

Lena clenched her teeth in order to erase Ruvid’s face.

It’s a frenzy. It’s a failure. She thought she had a smooth presence, but in the end the board turned upside down.

Because of an idiot named Ruvid Flanus.

‘But I have avoided the worst situation.’

She was poured with champagne, but she didn’t panic and respond calmly. She didn’t lower her price just because her opponent had been made a low price.

Yeah, she didn’t give the price the same as her opponent did.

So today was about this…

‘No.’

No. Today, the thread was greater than the gains.

No one would highly appreciate Lena in this situation. The scene where Lena overpowered the nobles will be erased. Instead, only the humiliation by Ruvid that would be remembered and praised.

She wasn’t trying to be treated like this.

The moment she thought about that, Ruvid’s smiling face came to her mind again, and at the same time, the sound of her heels stopped abruptly was heard.

Lena took a slow breath.

Let’s stay calm. Keep your mind calm and make a careful decision.

Lena learned how to cool down through countless situations.

When you hit a wall, you have to calm down and control you emotions. Only then can we find a better way.

This was Lena Rubel’s way of survival.

However, being a person couldn’t always be rational.

“Huu….”

Lena couldn’t help but laugh when she squeezed her lips.

She learned how to be calm through many hardships, but she wasn’t always calm.

If she had been really calm and bright, she wouldn’t have given up her altar to Lynn. She wouldn’t have swallowed the poison that the butler gave her, nor would she had sent a message to her father like a declaration of war.

Lena only pretended to be cultured and quiet on the outside, but in fact she wasn’t really. And with the appearance of an opponent who awakened her nature, Lena still smiled and clenched her teeth

‘I shouldn’t step back like this.’

She also promised Yuni. She would win.

Then, she walked again.

‘All right, Ruvid Flanus. Don’t step on me. You’re caught in this arc.’

🍃🍃🍃

“Poor Lady Lena….”

“When you see her yourself, it’s disgusting.”

Ruvid sat on the sofa, he was irritated by the voice right next to him. Klavis sat on the armrest of the sofa, pretending to be sniffling.

“How embarrassing, she came up really pretty.”

“The ugliness was decorated.”

“Ugly? She’s a beautiful woman.”

When the word ‘beauty’ reached his ears, Ruvid stuck out his tongue and made a nasty face. Then, Klavis stopped sniffling and muttered.

“She looks pretty much like Rubel.”

“Bullshit.”

Ruvid’s tired face suddenly grew wild.

The fierce purple eyes were still bloody, and Klavis giggled and put his arm on Ruvid’s shoulder.

‘Rubel is amazing.’

Duke Iura of the North and his brother, Ruvid. He couldn’t believe the Count received the envy of the Northern brothers. What a great talent.

Of course, Iura needed to get closer to talented people as Northern Duke. But Ruvid, who knew nothing but himself?

Klavis laughed as he quietly thought about Count Rubel.

‘How is Miss Lena?’

He had a daughter of a lion.

Klavis looked at the nearby side table. There was a glass of champagne with flowers filled in it. That was the flowers Lena gave to Ruvid earlier.

He was wondering how she would react after being insulted, but he didn’t expect it to be flowers.

White and flowers were the symbols of the Emperor. So the nobles exchanged flowers before dancing in celebration of the Foundation Day. It was a kind of fad ahead of the anniversary.

Maybe it was an act with that in her mind?

It was when Klavis stared at the flower in the champagne glass. The ballroom, where the music was calm, suddenly fluttered.

Klavis raised his head, said something. It was the next thing that his eyes turned into joy.

“Prince Ruvid.”

Klavis fixed his gaze at the entrance and called Ruvid. But Ruvid didn’t notice the ballroom had become silent. Then, Klavis whispered to that stupid man.

“Look over there.”

Ruvid looked up with annoyance. Then, he frowned at the unexpected scene.

Arrogant nobles stood aside. Thanks to this, there was a road from the entrance of the ballroom to the sofa where Ruby sat.

There was a man at the end. He was a young man wearing a royal blue uniform. The color of the uniform seemed to be a high-ranking noble in the South. Was there a guy like that in the South?

Ruvid was the first person he saw. No, he thought he was the first person he saw.

The young man walked at a cheerful pace. Then he bowed towards the sitting Ruvid.

“Would you like to play a song?”

Wasn’t he a man?

Ruvid, who thought it was as a man because of the uniform, narrowed his eyes to the higher voice tone that he didn’t expect. When he raised his eyes in puzzlement, a beautiful face came into his eyes.

She removed the makeup to make a little different, but it wasn’t hard to recognize. Her hair wasn’t short, but he couldn’t see it in the back.1

When Ruvid finally recognized herself, Lena added with a big smile.

“Now you won’t say no.”

“You…”

Lena took his hand, as Ruvid was dumbfounded. But Ruvid held Lena’s hand and was unwilling to get up.

Lena didn’t think he would be cooperative either. So she swiped lightly and twisted his wrist. The twisted nerves were fluttering so that he could get up himself.

“Ugh!”

Ruvid, whose wrist was twisted, jumped up unwittingly. Then Lena grabbed him by the waist as if she had waited. Ruby, who didn’t even know, burst into anger.

“This crazy….”

But just before the swearing came out of his mouth, Lena twisted Ruvid’s wrist again.

Joints were areas that couldn’t be trained. Nevertheless, they weren’t noticed by eyes or mind, because they were tightly protected by the muscles, made it difficult to strike effectively. Despite these disadvantages, the joints exhibited infinite possibilities as they were used.

Lena knew it well and she was good at it.

Just like this.

“Ukh!”

At a glance, Ruvid, who had broken his wrist, gazed, and Lena followed in a gentle walk.

Their movements were quite natural. The nobles saw Lena held Ruvid’s hand and thought it was Lena’s response to the provocation.

Then, they moved to the center of the ballroom smoothly, and they seemed like an unpaired pair. In the middle of the ballroom, Lena whispered while releasing Ruvid’s wrist slightly.

“Would you like to dance?”

“Bullshit….”

“Of course you would, even if you say you wouldn’t.”

When Ruvid clenched his teeth, Lena grabbed his arm with a clear smile. Ruvid was trying to keep up his head again. But he was dragged along again and again.

‘What power is this?!’

Ruvid was greatly embarrassed. Meanwhile, Lena pulled and held Ruvid’s waist and Ruvid said this with bitter shame.

“Let go.”

“Nope.”

Lena replied with a smile. It was when Ruvid, whose face was distorted, was about to shout.

“Are you going to be okay? Even if you shout here.”

“What….”

“That would be so bad.”

The sarcastic question made Ruvid’s face hardened.

He swallowed his anger and looked at the atmosphere. Glad or unfortunate, stupid humans seemed to be ignorant of the situation. However, when he screamed, people would notice that he was dragged by Lena.

It was difficult. The ruler’s linage can be rude and vicious, but he shouldn’t be weak and ridiculed.

‘You crazy!’

In the end, Ruvid swallowed his anger. Then he came up with a solution. He had no choice but to show himself in this crisis situation.

‘Let’s see, woman….’

Ruvid couldn’t find a way to do this and decided to shake Lena off with force.

‘Please don’t make me walk on your feet.’

Ruvid was looking for a chance with an evil face.

Depended on the music, there was a moment when the body became closer and farther away. When Ruvid tried to pull off the distance, he grabbed Lena’s hand by the wrist and hit her hard.

Lena stretched Ruvid’s arm wide as if she had waited. The prince of the North, instead of breaking away from his partner, had now turned around. The sound of the music was so cheerful that it was quite an appropriate turn.

Ruvid was embarrassed that he was still being held, and Lena took a good turn and caught his back when he came back in place after turned around.


“Damn it, let go…”

When Ruvid screamed low, Lena smiled as clear as a girl who had confessed her love. She then whispered to him.

“Maybe, because it’s my first time so I didn’t get the situation?” Her voice was still soft.2

“If you had told me in advance that rough stuff was good, I would’ve hung out on it from the beginning.”

However, he was sharp enough to notice the fearlessness of her sentence.
