These are the ill.u.s.tration from the Light Novel!

Putting the empty gla.s.s on the table, he licked his wet lips in a bewitching manner. And then slightly, he raised the corner of his mouth.

“You are such a bad girl, Christina. Doing such mischief, showing me such face, are you doing it on purpose?”

“…………?”

Christina didn’t understand any of what Alberto said. With moist eyes, she tilted her head, and answered him with upturned eyes.

On Christina’s field of vision, the figure of a black haired handsome man was reflected.

It was surely time for them to appear at the terrace. Alberto who was accompanied by Clara was walking this way. This was the scene where Christina, driven by jealousy, slapped Clara’s face.

Although she thought that maybe she should just behave like in the scenario, but when she saw Alberto’s gaze that stood still near to her, her face stiffened up.

A cold gaze that she has never seen even once before, was piercing Christina.

Clara who was beside him, with a gaze full of out-of-place expectation,  was looking at Christina.

“What are you doing……Christina?”

“Finally……You called my name……”

“Ah”

Even though I have been careful to call him as His Highness. She held her mouth immediately, and with a bewitching smile he took those hands away. Her gripped hands, were pushed against the wall.

“You are such a bad girl……Christina. Do you really want to attract my attention that much?”

A pair of cold ── as if there was no love for him, freezing eyes glared at him.

In Alberto's head, he had lost his composure. He was glared at by her not just once, but twice. Moreover that gaze was so sharp it felt as if she was going to abandon him.

He remembered the fear that he might have been hated by his precious fiancée.

Alberto who never even dreamed that this day would come, grinded his teeth.

Contrary to the anxiety and impatience in his heart, he pretended to be tough and put on a smile on his face.

Perhaps, due to the jealousy she ended up splas.h.i.+ng the tea to Clara.

"Yet, my fiancée-dono seems to be rather angry"

The words he uttered in confusion, even for himself were the worst.

He escaped from the butler's hand and instinctively hugged her.

"Hya……!"

"Kuu,I beg you…… When you turn sixteen, please say that you will marry me……!"

Her back touched the tree. When she turned around to look, she couldn’t see anything but the large tree trunk, and she understood how they were located in the blind spot of the maid and others.

However, at this kind of place──

Not caring for Christina whose judgment wavered, Alberto turned her face to face him and drew his lips closer. With coquettish eyes, Alberto’s charming sigh leaked out and laughed.

“……you are such a bad girl……always making me feel like this……”
