CHAPTER 1.

Querencia walked towards the Baron's office and immediately entered. And when he entered, the Baron was looking at him intently.

"It's good that you listened now." he said then folded his hands.

He looked at her bravely. "Thank goodness my ear hasn't been affected yet." he said full of sarcasm.

The Barom's eyes immediately widened and threw its ashtray at him. It's good that he was able to recover immediately.

"You only get lucky once in a while, Querencia! Next! He's going to pierce your head!" he shouted then sat down. "Get out!" it shouted.

He laughed a little at the sight. "Don't shout, Baron. You might have high blood pressure." he said mockingly.

He left and called his assistant. "Marina, prepare a carriage and I will wear it to the celebration. I have to please my father.” he said smiling.

Marina immediately obeyed. He gave an order and then followed him again.

"Looks like you pissed off the Baron again." Marina said calmly.

He smiled. "That's not enough, Marina."

If the Baron is not his father, he will surely be impressed by the kindness he shows. But because he knows its stench, he can't respect it. His father is the reason why he doesn't have a Mother now.

he witnessed how his mother suffered just because of this man.

"Are you going to visit the Crown prince?" asked Marina.

He laughed. "He's lucky for me to visit him." this man is the reason why he's going to die, then he's going to see her? What is this? lucky?

CHAPTER 1 CONT.

The night had come and he was ready. He got into the carriage and went to the festival.

After he arrived, the chismosa's eyes immediately focused on him.

"Is he the son of the Baron?"

“Querencia Loretta Lynn?”

"As far as I know, the Baron is taking care of him. It is said that she was forced to marry the Crown prince."

"I heard that he has a bad attitude."

"Yes, So much."

Some of the whispers he heard. It's nice to interject into their conversation and correct their words. but he has a different goal here so he just behaves.

It took a few minutes before the ball started. People are dancing right now.

He looked around looking for the tall man and of course, he saw him immediately. it stood on the side while just watching from the side and drinking wine.

"It's good to see you, Lady Lynn." a man said smiling to him as he turned to her. He didn't know her but he still had to congratulate her.

"I'm also happy to see you." he said while holding both joys and bowing slightly

Suddenly, the man patted and lightly stroked her shoulder, making her hairs stand on end.

This man is rude!

He stood up straight and looked at her coldly. "Your hand looks itchy." he took it from his shoulder then broke it making him sob.

“Argh!” This moan caused some people to look in their direction.

"You put a lot of rings on it to make it look pretty, but no matter how pretty it is, the itchiness doesn't go away." he said coldly then let go of it.

He took his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hand. then he touched both sides of the saa again then bowed slightly. "I'm leaving." he smiled kindly at her and then turned away.

The man looked at her in disbelief. His father is the same age.

Thank you It's a sign, but if you look at it, it looks like a teenager.

He turned around and looked for the Archduke again. Because of that old man, he lost sight of the person he was targeting.

Where is that?!

"Next time."

He turned behind him when he heard a man. And he was very happy to see the Archduke.

the second dance is near so she came here after the man she was talking to left.

"Good evening, your grace." he greeted with a smile and extended his hand. But wait— his hand is down. And why did he reveal it immediately?! He had to bow first but this was first! argh! Come what may!

When he saw where his hand was pointing, he immediately raised it. His face turned red quickly. If the Archduke's brain was dirty he would surely think that his pet was the one he was congratulating.

He swallowed then looked up and looked at it. Shit! The height! he is like a rabbit facing a lion.

He clenched his fist. He had to be brave.

He smiled. "Your Grace, can I ask you for a dance?" he said while still holding out his hand.

He stared at her for a few seconds. and for a few seconds he looked up and stared at his very handsome face. Its beauty is never boring.

But how long will he stare at her?! He's hooked!

He suddenly turned his back on her which surprised her. He put the glass of wine on the table and left her.

W-what the—

All eyes were on him and people were whispering.

He is ready to feed on the ground because of shame.

His fists are clenched. “They didn't call me a villainess for nothing Archduke. Ready yourself.” he smiled then laughed like crazy.

the Archduke, who hadn't gotten too far from him, shook his head. “Cr*zy woman.” it whispered.
