CHAPTER 082 His hand moved from the ring on his fourth finger to touch another finger. For someone just fidgeting, his expression was quite serious. "Marquis, aren't you staring for too long?" "Just because. It's beautiful." "Oh." I involuntarily widened my eyes. Was he saying my hand was beautiful? I had extended my hand without much thought to show the ring, but his unexpected words left me stunned. "Are my fingers really that beautiful...?" They’re just long fingers, aren't they? I was already curious about why Lewis was so attached to our rings. But hearing such words made me feel a bit... Somehow, what had felt like casual fidgeting now seemed to tickle. I was looking at Lewis, who was quietly examining my hand, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Ah!" The door suddenly swung open, and Michael appeared. Oh my! I quickly pulled my hand back. Lewis frowned and glared at Michael. "What? No knock?" "Oh, sorry. I hear...

CHAPTER 081 “Is that so?” I nodded as if I understood, though I didn't quite get it. "Still, I think the seat next to me would be a very attractive position for you." So I began to explain. Why she should accept his feelings. "If you just accept it, you could rise to the highest position next to the emperor. Though given the nature of the position, it might feel more stifling compared to other women." "...Well." Contrary to my expectations, Charlotte spoke with a troubled expression. "I appreciate Your Highness's feelings, but I have never considered being by your side..." Is she trying to refuse now? Phillip barely managed to smooth his furrowed brow. "Why? Didn't they say your abilities aren't sufficient to enter the temple?" He didn't realize that his words could be offensive to Charlotte. "If it's an ability you can't use anyway, wouldn't it be better to become my fiancée?" "That doesn...

CHAPTER 080 I hadn't realized he had been quiet for a while. "Are you asleep?" I whispered softly. Lewis didn't move. Oh, he really was asleep. Wouldn't it be uncomfortable to sleep like this? I decided to lay him down on the bed. I hoped he wouldn't wake up. I moved cautiously, not wanting to disturb him. Since he was already sitting on the bed, it didn't take long to lay him down. After tucking him in, I decided to leave. But then I pulled a chair to the side of the bed and sat down. He ran outside because of a nightmare, so I should stay a bit longer before leaving. However, after a while, my eyelids grew heavy. It was late, so naturally, I was sleepy. I leaned back against the chair. And when I opened my eyes... "Huh?" I was on the bed. The once dark outside had brightened! Did I sleep here? This was the room Lewis used! I looked around, bewildered, just as the door clicked open. Lewis walked in. "You're awake?" "Uh... yes....

CHAPTER 079 We returned to the mansion shortly after. "Now go inside and rest. You're soaking wet!" Entering the house was more chaotic than leaving. I didn't bother to keep quiet this time. A maid, who was perhaps out for a drink of water, saw us. "Marquis? Miss!" The maid, shocked at the sight of a drenched Lewis and me standing beside him, called for the other servants. Suddenly, the dark and silent first floor of the mansion was lit up in a hurry. "Can you bring some towels?" I asked a nearby maid. The maid quickly fetched dry towels, and I hurriedly wrapped one around Lewis. "You can leave now." Lewis spoke in a tired voice. He seemed more himself now. When he hugged me earlier, he didn't seem quite like his usual self. Well, he must not have been in his right mind to be standing outside in the rain for so long. "Just a moment." I ignored Lewis's words to leave and took him to the room he stayed in. I couldn't j...
