Rosetta Whirsen. That little girl married Michael?

“It is Lady Whirsen’s first marriage, but that’s not the case for the prince so the ceremony was held quietly.”

“You must have misunderstood something. How dare Rosetta…!”

“His Majesty himself spoke before all his subjects and high-ranking nobles. Do you think there’s any room for lies?”

Raul, who sighed deeply, confirmed that his daughter had not lost her reason and said quietly.

“Though it’s his second marriage… It was the marriage of the emperor’s beloved brother. Our family will have to send gifts, too.”

“…….”

The fact that she had to send a gift to the wedding of the man she loved didn’t even enter her mind. Isabel was only thinking about Michael. It was her own that was taken from her.

‘You escaped my surveillance?’

The Emperor summoned his people to the banquet last night, so the wedding must be over. That means Michael also had his first night with Rosetta.

“No…”

Everything about Michael had to be hers, so Isabel felt endless anger at the situation. He shouldn’t be connected to any woman but herself! Michael was trying to run away from her palm.

“Isabel, are you listening to me?”

Asked the Duke. With a look of displeasure Isabel looked at the Duke of Carulias, hiding her emotional eyes.

“Listen. Do you mean that we should send a gift in the name of the duchy, Carulias?”

“Yes. It may be cruel to you, but it has to happen anyway. Forget about Prince Michael. There are things in the world that don’t work out your way.”

Hah. There is never a time when things don’t go my way.

Isabel smiled a light smile, suppressing her anger. The Duke of Carulias felt eerie by his daughter’s smile, but he thought it was just a feeling.

He wondered what this mere girl, even if she’s his own daughter, could do. Isabel’s power was all from him.

“Anyway, don’t forget to prepare a gift that won’t harm the name of Carulias.”

Isabel nodded slowly. Since the Duchess’ death, all the chores of Duchess Carulias have been left to Isabel. It was of course Isabel’s job to prepare and present gifts.

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”

Isabel laughed quietly, speaking in a friendly voice. The Duke sent his daughter out of the office without noticing that her laughter was the most terrifying.

?  ?  ?

Isabel has long been aware of Michael’s movements. She had never neglected to monitor the man she loved. Even before he turned her down, Isabel wanted to know everything about Michael.

Isabel headed to the north tower of the Duke’s residence. The northern tower, which was used as a place to punish or imprison criminals, was also used as a place for Isabel to meet her subordinates.

‘They don’t even know that the prince is getting married.’

At one time, it was difficult to keep an eye on him after she killed the foolish bitch who dared to marry the prince. But that eventually passed, and Michael never escaped Isabel’s watch. No, she thought there wasn’t.

‘You mean there was a hole in my surveillance?’

Perhaps one of her subordinates is a spy. However, all the people who served Isabel were those who had served her for more than a decade. She didn’t think any of them would try to betray her.

They were all loyal to Isabel, each with a weakness. They served her at the beginning due to their weakness, but they were those who had helped her with her evil deeds for more than a decade.

Even if they pretended otherwise, their hands were also stained with blood and darkness, so Isabel did not think they would have betrayed her.

‘Where did the mistake come from?’

A recent report said Michael frequently visited sites in the Marca Mountains in the north. He spent a lot of time studying the ancient magic of the ruins.

If it was staged when he became aware of surveillance, the story fits.

‘If he secretly got married outside the capital and went on a honeymoon….’

Not all information was blocked, even if his recent move was hidden. Michael bought an uninhabited island for several months and was building a castle there. Her subordinates did not enter the island, but they could see because building materials were entering the island. 

So their honeymoon destination is probably the island.

‘That’s better. Since it is an uninhabited island, there will be frequent attacks by demons….’ 

She was going to recreate the same nightmare and make him reminisce about the past.

Only two years have passed. She thought he was still in pain remembering that painful memory, but he even dreamt of getting married…. With a girl other than herself!

“I can’t forgive you!”

?  ?  ?

“Rosetta.”

Rosetta shrugged her shoulders at the friendly whisper. Michael, with his arm around Rosetta’s shoulder, bent his eyes as if she was lovely.

What’s wrong with this person?

These days on the island were just sweet.

For the first few days, they made love and he never let her out of the castle’s bedroom. When she finally begged, he finally let her begin to look around little by little.

Her eyes widened as she saw the castle’s high spires, many halls, and luxurious rooms decorated with jewels and silk. In addition, she saw waterfalls, crystal caves, and forests with flowers all year long.

Michael whispered that it was all for Rosetta. Preparing to marry Rosetta, he sometimes came to this island to build castles and decorate the island. Rosetta couldn’t believe it, but there was no way she could refuse his gift.

Even when his soft voice whispered in her ears, making her ears itch and shrinking her shoulders, he looked adorable.

‘It’s weird. Why are you doing this to me?’

He has proven too much for her to doubt Michael’s feelings. After looking around the castle and the island, they returned to their bedroom at night to make love.

Almost every day, every night.

In fact, Michael wanted to do it during the day, but when they made love during the day, they spent the whole day in the bedroom. After such a day, Rosetta became sullen, so Michael apologized, embarrassed.

‘He really seems to like me.’

Rosetta wondered what to do if Michael really liked her. In fact, it was impossible to leave Michael with Rosetta’s ability.

Let’s say the original heroine is Heroine 1, and Heroine 1 was freed because she killed Michael with the help of Patrick, Logan, and Gerald.

In other words, if Michael truly likes her, it is difficult to separate her from him without killing him.

Killing was also only possible if it was the original heroine, but it was impossible for Rosetta, who had no sub-male leads to mobilize.

“I’m in trouble.”

She wasn’t confident in killing Michael anyway, but she was dumbfounded by the fact that her escape was completely blocked.

Before, she thought Michael wasn’t serious, so she thought she could run away in time, but…. After spending about three weeks with Michael, she felt his sincerity.

‘No, no, no, no! At this rate, I might fall in love with the male lead! Then I’ll…’

Can I get a divorce on this island?! I’ll just get a divorce, so I think I’ll receive a lot of alimony!

Michael, the prince of the Imperial Family, was not a cheap man. He will not drive out Rosetta, who will grant him a beautiful divorce, coldly.

“That’s good! Let’s go with that route!”

Michael gave a quizzical look to Rosetta’s sparkling eyes.

“What are you thinking so hard about?”

“Uh… It’s…. Ah! What will happen after the honeymoon?”

Michael smiled softly and kissed Rosetta on the cheek. At this point, it seemed that kissing Rosetta’s face and body had become a habit of his.

“We should go up to the capital and greet His Majesty…. We’re heading down to the duchy again.”

“D, do I have to go back to the capital?”

Michael smoothed her hair as if to soothe Rosetta’s frightened expression.

“If it’s because of Princess Carulias, I’ll be there for you, Rosetta. Nothing like before will happen.”

‘No, she’s crazy, and I don’t think it’s gonna end like that….’

If she had previously mobilized other young ladies to accuse Rosetta of bullying Iris, she would now be killed. Whether it was by using assassins or sending low-level demons through wizards, it was apparent that she would try to kill her in any way.

“Rather! If you tell Lady Isabel that she is connected to me by a curse! She wouldn’t want to kill me right now. I think.”

“It’s not that I didn’t think of it that way… But I thought that Princess Carulias would ask Rosetta to show evidence.”

“You can see it.”

Michael frowned as Rosetta tilted her head curiously.

“No. She’ll try to hurt Rosetta’s body. I don’t know what she’s going to do with that excuse.”

For example, she may stick out a poisoned paper knife to show a wound on the tip of her finger. From what she has done thus far, she was the kind of woman who would persist.

“Like this… I think she’s going to send an assassin. If our marriage is known by now.”

He asked the emperor to tell all the high-ranking nobles that night, but Michael did not let Rosetta know such a fact. Because he wanted her to focus on herself rather than the aristocrats in the capital.

Also, like Rosetta, Michael deliberately chose the island as a honeymoon destination because he was worried about that part.

A huge magic camp was set up under the castle. It was formed into a valley surrounding the entire island.

On the night Rosetta was asleep, Michael triggered this settlement, and the entire island was now invisible from the sea as if it had been erased.

Therefore, no matter what Isabel sent to kill Rosetta, it could not reach the island.
