“Father.”
“Roselina?”
It was only then that the duke, who recognized Roselina, shook off the past.
Yes. She is my daughter.
“I brought you a new tea the other day.”
Tea time has been fun these days because it suits his taste.
Occasionally, I spent time with Roselina if the schedule was right.
‘I haven’t been able to do that lately.’
The duke was pleased to hear Roselina talking about one thing or another.
When he talked nonsense, he burst into laughter.
‘Not long ago, she recommended some investments.’
Roselina, who was busy keeping her promise to revive Brighton, was proud.
As it was Roselina’s first business plan, I was going to invest without asking questions.
However, when I read the plan, it was better than I thought.
‘She has a great sense for discovering items.’
Was it a rose that does not cause the Curse of the Rose?
It’s an item that people will gather like bees, but she managed to discover it early.
‘Roselina’s intelligence is greater than mine.’
While the duke remembered what had happened, Roselina came up.
“Were you taking a walk? I’m afraid I’ve interrupted you.”
“What do you mean, disturbance? Will you walk with me?”
“It’s an honor for me.”
They walked silently along the road for a while.
Suddenly Roselina said something out of the blue.
“Father, do you believe me?”
“Yes, of course.”
“No matter what happens?”
The duke, who had been replying thoughtlessly, stopped.
If it had been before, I would have thought Roselina would have had another accident.
But not now.
Roselina was a thoughtful, far-sighted fellow.
There must be a clear reason to bring this up.
“Yes, no matter what, I believe everything you do has a meaning,” replied the duke, looking into Roselina’s eyes, which captured the moonlight.
The morning of the banquet came.
The carriages entered Brighton’s mansion, and the nobles entered the hall.
“I haven’t seen Brighton for a long time.”
“Well, they haven’t been in society since the death of former Duchess Beatrice, haven’t they? They didn’t even have guests in the mansion.”
“That’s understandable. There’s a saying that Young Master Brighton is in bed and never gets up.”
“That’s right.”
The eyes of the ladies became secretive.
The Duke of Brighton’s birthday party became a hot topic in society.
