After that, she chased Owen, who had a fairly wide distance, and shouted at once.

Your Highness!

When Marianne called him with a sharp voice, Owen stopped walking and turned his head with a clear look of annoyance.

Marianne was offended by the indifferent and cold gaze, but she tried to calmly look up at him and ask.

Where are you going? Youre not going back to the Imperial Palace, right?

Owen laughed coldly at the question, making a deflating sound, and replied.

There would be no reason for me to stay here any longer.

What do you mean by that? Are you telling me to attend tonights party without Your Highness?

After all, it was the Empires custom for the two parties to waltz at a party held on the second night of Bridal Shower.

It was a place to dance the waltz. Its the first connection before marriage, to enjoy the blessings of those invited to the party, and declare to them that the two have officially become couples. However, to ignore the custom and return to the Imperial Palace first, Marianne was speechless.

Wasnt it Owen, who was forced to attend last nights party, gave her a tiara made of diamonds and rubies, and left within 20 minutes.

Thats why the noble wives, who were already talkative in Graces attire and attitude, were so loud about Owens attitude.

Marianne is furious at Owens desire to embarrass him tonight for not only what made her the poorest lady in the world last night.

She has endured his indifferent and cold attitude all this time, but she couldnt stand it anymore. Marianne shouted at Owen with full disappointment.

Your Highness, you cant do this! Even if you dont have a heart for me, you have to do your duty as a fiance!

Duty? I think Ive done my duty just by attending that tedious party last night.

Your Highness! How can you say that? Really, I feel so sorry for you!

What do you mean?

At Owens question as if he didnt know why she was doing this, Marianne became even more enraged and raised her voice.

Ha! Are you really asking because you dont know? Youve been being cold to me all this time! And youre blatantly avoiding me!

.

Until now, until the official engagement process was delayed under the pretext of the academy as an excuse, I tried to be patient and put up with it. Because I thought it was necessary for Your Highness to become a great emperor of this Empire! Thats why I am the one who waited eagerly for Your Highness to return home. But how can you disappoint me like that?
