Chapter 4
Adrian Cluid.
He was the one who made the Cluid family, which had been declining with his genius brain and excellent business skills, become a very wealthy family at once. Not only did he enjoy a boom in every business he touched, but he was also a man who even earned an honorable title from the emperor thanks to his generous support to the imperial family. There were numerous aristocratic families and young ladies who wanted him. Of course, Leona was no exception, so she continued her quiet love for the duke, and this love had already been five years.
Leona cried out inwardly at the unexpected appearance of Adrian. He must have been on a business trip to the Fern Empire. She heard that he would appear here. She had never been alone with a duke before, so she was bewildered by this sudden situation. Leona looked at him in amazement, trying to calm her pounding heart.
“Because the business trip has been delayed. Besides, since it’s a banquet hosted by the Imperial family, how can I miss it?”
She doesn’t know if it’s because she’s been reading a dirty story, or if it’s because she’s too surprised, but when she’s facing him, her heart pounds with the thrill that she can feel from her toes to her head.
“Then why are you alone in such a dark place?” “Ah, that’s…”
I’d rather bite my tongue and die than have someone I like find out I’m reading nonsense.
Leona would never tell the Duke and confide in him. Besides, Leona was a true young lady who was rumored to be well-behaved even among people. At least, on days when rumors circulate that people in the neighborhood are reading nonsense…

Uh-huh. Leona shook her head and blurted out her words while looking around. “Oh, you were reading a book.”
Adrian opened his mouth as he moved his gaze towards the ground. Leona turned her head to follow him and then realized that she had dropped the book.
The book, fluttering in surprise and falling far away, suddenly showed the title [The Dance of Madness and Lust].
Anyone can see that, isn’t that a vulgar title! Leona was completely dizzy at the naked sight. Leona White Million, calm down. Behave calmly. You can overcome this situation. No, you have to overcome it. The duke can’t see it. However, Adrian, who does not know Leona’s circumstances, shows useless kindness.
“Oops, you dropped the book because of me.”
As if to pick it up for her, he turned around and took one step closer to the book. Leona, who was so flustered at the moment, ran at full speed without even realizing it.
“Never mind!”
And just threw the book away. The kicked book draws a parabola as it is and disappears into the distant grass.
“Oh no, what are you doing right now…”
“Oops, my foot slipped. Ho Ho, Then I’ll be going.”
Sorry. [The Ball of Madness and Lust] Hey, I’ll come find you later.
Leona cried out inwardly and forced herself to smile. To be alone with the person you have a crush on is a rare opportunity that arose, but the only thing she was desperate for was to get out of this position. Because it’s too embarrassing
