Chapter 3

How did you get to marry a man like that? Even if you go in, you can’t.

The carriage in the thick fog arrived at the mansion. Originally from spring to summer, the capital city is famous for its thick fog. In order to see the clear blue sky instead of the gloomy sky, I had to wait for autumn to come, or I had to leave the capital and go to the southern provinces.

Ingrid, who was escorted from the arriving carriage, looked around.

Whether the ball had already started at the mansion, it seemed that it was already noisy inside.

Today’s ball was a masked ball. Earl Brandley likes a masquerade. Because of this, the ball held in this mansion was always a masked ball. Of course, Ingrid also liked the masquerade.

Wearing a mask, you dance while hiding your identity without knowing who the other was. There was nothing more fun than dancing. I want to enjoy the ball, but I am not interested. However, it was the best ball for Ingrid who did not want to receive it.

Moreover, Marcia Brandley, daughter of Earl Brandley, who hosts today’s ball, was engaged last week to one of Ingrid’s few friends. Today is a prom to commemorate the engagement. It was unusually crowded with customers.

‘The atmosphere has already heated up.’

Ingrid, wearing a cat mask entered into the rose garden, which Earl Brandley was proud of. It was covered in mist, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Ingrid was wearing a cat mask, a pearl necklace, and a red off-the-shoulder dress, walks through the garden and enters the mansion.

Reed’s eyes saw people in tailcoats and dresses. Of course, they were all wearing masks, so you couldn’t tell who was who. Both the halls on the first and second floors were full of people attending the ball. The masks were all different. When you come to the masquerade, you will wear a different mask. It’s also fun to watch. However, some people come in wearing the same mask all the time.

For example, Cecil, who doesn’t want to look bad, always appears wearing a fox mask. It’s also a red fox mask. So Ingrid, upon noticing the Red Fox Mask, just glanced at it. It was because I didn’t want to deal with Cecil. Cecil and I used to be best friends, but last year we had a big fight and we didn’t talk afterwards.

Why did we fight? It was because of the man. I didn’t fight Cecil over one man. There was a man Cecil had in his heart, and when she confessed to him with a big heart, the man said, ‘I’m sorry, but I’m in love with Ms. Ingrid Roxas’. Cecil, who had turned her  eyes, was squealing, and at the ball, in a loud voice to be heard by everyone else, he brought up the story of his mother-in-law with Ingrid. That was the case with the ‘prom by the neck incident’ that had been talked about for a while.

After that, Ingrid hated people’s attention even more. But that doesn’t mean that if you don’t attend the ball, people will be less interested.

Why? I know that all kinds of rumors from unknown sources start to spread, starting with someone saying, “Someone in your house doesn’t appear at the ball,” I had to attend the prom.

‘The interior has been changed.’

Going up to the hall on the second floor, Ingrid looked around.

Unlike the last time I came, the color of the walls, the decoration of the columns, and even the chandelier were completely different. everything has changed.

‘After all, if you are getting married, you change the interior of the mansion first.’ So, these days, the stepmother also made a move to change the interior of the mansion. After all, the Duke of Gray will propose to me.
