I Won't Accept Your Regrets

Chapter 24

I stared into those amber eyes in front of me and decided to pretend I hadn't caught his lies.

It seems that this man didn't want to reveal his identity.

He is the one who helped me, and I never stopped putting pressure on him.

In any case, this will be our last meeting with him.

"No more questions?"

At the end of the waltz, the man asked me. I answered with a slight smile:

"I have no bad manners to ask questions about what you wish to hide."

"I don't want to hide... I hope you will understand everything yourself."

"Yes?"

As the music ended, there was applause from the crowd.

I expected an answer from this man, but he, without saying anything, smiled and kissed my hand.

"Thanks for the dance."

"...I also thank fate for being awarded this honor."

As we left the center of the hall, an uncountable number of eyes turned on us.

When I already felt that my skin tingled from their looks, the man let go of my hand.

I looked at him and his amber eyes flashed.

"If you want to continue, then just give me a sign."

What give you...?

There was more between us than this man helped me avoid shame twice?

But he turned around and walked away before I had the chance to ask him.

The man walked past the nobles with quick steps, and left us before anyone could stop him.

What the heck?

I immediately looked around sharply and went up to Lisa and Raymond.

Raymond's gaze stubbornly didn't leave me. I ignored him and looked at Lisa.

When I was about to say that I was leaving for good, a servant came up to us with a tray.

Champagne and snacks were on display on a tray. And at that moment, when the servant came closer, the smell of food rose, which made my stomach ache.

And now the words of the doctor came to mind.

"You will be nauseous, so that's okay."

Awkwardness grew.

The smell of food irritated, it got closer and became more and more disgusting.

I just wanted to throw this tray away.

I clenched my hands into fists and endured it all. No matter how hard it is for me, here I can't give up.

Raymond was right in front of me, and a lot of nobles had gathered on the spot.

I didn't even want to think about what would happen if I vomited now.

Lisa, who didn't know that I thought that the servant would disappear as soon as possible, asked Raymond, holding a glass of champagne in her hand:

"Your Majesty, would you like a drink?"

"Instead of champagne, I would drink water. Could you bring it?" Raymond asked Lisa, but not the servant.

Lisa looked at Raymond, embarrassed, and then smiled.

"Yes, please wait."

She put the glass on the tray and left us. Raymond sent the servant away.
