Lady Invincible

Chapter 12

The voice was sweet and dense. It sounded like a whisper the first time you're hearing it.

It wasn't too soft for Hilise either. Cold golden eyes slid along with the voice.

A silver-haired man standing in the background of greenhouse in the shattering sunlight was staring at Hilise with his red eyes, like roses with a strange look.

He was Gabriel's fiancé, Christian Parvenon, whom she had been waiting for.

The moment their gaze met, Hilises' eyes sank.

The maid who took Christian into the mansion and guided him all the way here was unsure of what to do, due to embarrassment.

She brought him here according to Gabriel's will, but she wouldn't have dreamed that she would see such a sight.

Gabriel is currently very frustrated, and most of all, there's also Diego's command to keep Hilse's power a secret to outsiders.

"Ch- Chris...!"

A pathetic cry erupted from Gabriel, wrapped around a rose vine and dangling in the air.

Even in the midst of the distraction, she found Christian at once.

She didn't know if it was due to her good eyesight or if she had an excellent anti-crisis instinct to find someone to help her in any crisis.

"Hey, help!"

Gabriel quickly returned to her usual self and asked for help.

It was hard to believe that she was the same person who was struggling to make sure her skirt didn't get overturned and screamed loud enough to rupture eardrums a little while ago.

Her hair was also messy and sporadic. Her bare feet were revealed because she lost her shoes whilst she was struggling, her unscrupulous attire sprinkled ashes on Gabriel's perfect beauty.

Still, her sad expression and voice had extraordinary power.

But Christian's eyes, staring at Gabriel, did not contain any worries about his fiancée.

Instead, he was sending a chilling gaze to Gabriel.

However, no one else other than Hilise noticed Christian's cold look.

At the next moment, Christian took a step from where he was and approached Hilise.

"I never thought I would see 'The Flower of Inoaden' in someone else other than Ricardo."

His consecutive steps were extremely elegant, as if he was walking on the red carpet in the banquet hall rather than on the garden's lawn. His voice, as if singing, was very soft as well.

It was as if he had completely forgotten Gabriel, who was still hanging in the air because of Hilise.

Hilise was in the middle of the roses blooming in the earth.

The closer his distance was from her, the stronger the scent that was brushing the tip of his nose.

Cristian finally stopped, looking down at Hilise, buried in rose. She could see him smiling at the tail of her eyes.

"Looking at you like this, it seems that no one in Inoaden would look as good with roses as much as you."

Soon he put his one knee on the floor and lowered his body in front of Hilise.

The series of movements flowed like water.

"It is an honor to meet the owner of the new rose, Lady Hilise."
