".....!" Juwell frowned. His words are unexpected.

'Didn't he hated Juwell?'

"This is unexpected. I thought you despise me."

"I do, you would always insult me whenever we meet," he nodded. "But aren't you apologizing right now? You are sincerely apologizing, so it's fine now."

Juwell thinks that it’s absolutely absurd. Everything’s fine just because I apologized? What’s more exasperating is that the prince said it with sincerity. With just a single apology, he brushed off all the insults Juwell did to him.

In the end, "I want to annul this engagement," she straightforwardly said.

"I don't want to."

"It seems like you don't understand what I meant..."

"I think the one that can’t comprehend this situation is you," he interjected as he looks straight at her.

The 6 Dukes and the Imperial Figures are all born from jewels. The character of the Garnet Family is in the form of a red garnet jewel while the figure of the Sapphire family is in a blue sapphire jewel, and this goes on.

Thus, Prince Oppenheim's eyes resemble the pale blue gems of the moonstone and that pair of moonstones are looking at her face with an infinite depth.

“What I'm trying to convey is that I don't want to let you go.”

".....!"

Moonstone is a gem which changes color depending on the scatter of light. Coincidentally, the lights came through the fireplace. The prince's eyes have turned from light blue to soft brown. A solid, brownish, that is likely unshakable by any difficulty.

“Right now.... I believe that I’ll regret it later if I let you go. So can you give me time?”

"...Time?"

"Of course." Prince Oppenheim grabbed her hand and pulled it towards him. He ponders for a moment and then carefully kisses the back of Juwell's hand. “A time to win your heart.”

'I have no plan for Prince Oppenheim to do this.' Juwell frowned.

She’s currently in the garden behind the Imperial Palace. Something didn't work out as planned, so she went to the garden alone to get her head straight. Positively, she's gonna reject Prince Oppenheim.

'No, I will not allow it. I want to annul this engagement.'

Apparently, Prince Oppenheim is also not an easy opponent.

 

'If you want to annul this engagement, then sue me. There is a grace period for betrothal break up under the Imperial Law, so won’t it take about six months?'

 

The imperial law requires a lawsuit to annul an engagement without agreement.

Since there is no property to distribute in cases such as an engagement, it’s rare to go through lawsuits, it mostly ends by agreement. Additionally, it’s very helpful for each individual to hold on to an engagement to avoid such a thing. However, the prince does not
care about disgrace.

 

'Six months is enough time. I will try to win your heart. If you still refuse me, then I will give up cleanly,'

 

He somewhat said that.

Juwell frowned. 'I'm in trouble. I can't believe that the Crown Prince will do something like this.'

It was honestly annoying.

'If he doesn't back down after further persuasion, I'll have to file a lawsuit to annul this engagement. Let's not bother about these things anymore.'
