Chapter 54

She bit her lips and looked away.

“Nice to meet you.” Roselia bowed to the nobleman standing behind Cedric. Fortunately, this time, it was a male nobleman, not a woman. If he had brought a beautiful young lady like the last time, Roselia would have suffered from her urge to run away again and be tormented throughout the whole process.

Unlike the nlack-haired Cedric, the man has brilliant blond hair. He was looking around leisurely, then smiled brightly as he greeted Roselia.

“Nice to meet you, Miss Roselia.”

Roselia was startled by his succenaction of pulling her hand.

The blond man then kissed the back of her hand in a natural manner like flowing water.

It was a formal greeting from a nobleman, but Riselia, who was experiencing this for the first time, had goosebumps all over her body at the sudden contact. The blond man lifted his lips from the back of her stiff hand and curled his eyebrows with a smile.

“I happened to see Miss Roselia’s work in the exhibition hall, and tried my best to get the Duke of Schulach to meet you as soon as possible.”

He showed a natural attitude as if meeting a close friend. It was quite embarrassing, so Roselia could only blink her eyes slowly.

None of the nobles I’ve met so far have shown such admiration. High-ranking nobles only believed in her drawing skills, but did not believe in herself. They saw Roselia as a lowly poor person, who climbed all the way up with a slight favor. A commoner who did not a have a proper name for a nobleman was such an existence.

So, the attitude of the man who treated me casually was unfamiliar, and I couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Ah, yes…”

Roselia looked at Cedric in bewilderment. Similarly, Cedric, who had been watching the man with his arms crossed, did not anticipate such a situation. He reached out his hand as soon as his eyes met her.

“The Marquis of Tenuis.”

His deep voice indicates a warning towards the man’s unfamiliar behavior to stop in an instant. As if he had perceived the meaning of the warning behind his voice as Cedric called his name, the man quickly put his hand behind his back and smiled.

“Thank you.”

Her lips curled more than necessary, making it somewhat burdensome.

Working with the Marquis of Tenuis did not go smoothly.

It was very unusual from the first time we met. He was definitely different from other nobles.

The most striking thing is that Roselia was asked a lot of questions during the course of her work. Because he only asked such trivial things that she didn’t feel uncomfortable, she only felt embarrassed, but she still had to answer.
