Daddy, I Don’t Want to Marry!

After a moment, however, I realized something. Both Rose and Bea had hosted their birthday banquets recently. Bea, in particular, had been in charge of overseeing all the preparations, so it was worth asking her for some advice.

According to the plot, Rose would have invited Bea to a tea-tasting party, and I could simply meet her there. I smiled then sighed.

I wonder if Max will come by today. I miss him

Reading the letter she had received from Rose, Beatrice smiled.How dare she invite me to her measly tea-tasting party? Well, Im still thinking about whether I should go or not.She then furrowed her brow.What is Jubelian doing these days? She hasnt sent a letter in ages!Beatrice was glad she had met new people during the banquet. However, she was regretful that she didnt get to say goodbye to Jubelian. Fortunately, the lady had sent a letter the next day, but contact had been lost since then.

Dont you dare ignore me and think Im going to show up for the tea-tasting,Beatrice pouted.

Just then, her maid announced, Your Highness, a letter from the Floyen household has arrived.

Her expression bright, Beatrice yelled, Is that so? Bring it here! Quickly! When the maid brought the letter on a gold tray, Beatrice quickly took the envelope.

The decorations are as pretty as she is.Beatrice felt her heart flutter once she saw the pink envelope. She quickly but carefully removed the seal and unfolded the letter. Neat handwriting bordered with flower decorations greeted her.

Dear Bea, how have you been?

Ive been busy, and that is why I havent been able to write to you. Im sorry. I heard that Rose invited you to the tea-tasting party, and I hope to see you there. There are some things I have to ask you.

Beatrice covered her mouth to mask the joy on her face.I see that you were thinking of me as well. If you want me to attend the tea-tasting party so be it.Ecstatic, she suppressed the urge to jump up and down.

Y-you cant do this! Her maids dismayed voice echoed from behind, and someone entered the room. Beatrice frowned at the uninvited guest.

My dear sister, you dont look so busy today. Ive come at the right time to have a chat with you.

Beatrice felt goosebumps rise at her stepbrothers unfamiliar tone.Why is this thing here?If she could, she wanted to spit out vulgar words at him so that he would leave right away. However, she decided she couldnt do such a dishonorable thing in front of her maids. She glared at Max for a moment, then she dismissed her maids. I have something to discuss with my brother. You may all leave.

Once the maids left, Beatrice sat down. Crossing her legs, she interrogated, What brings you here?

Watching his arrogant sister, Max took off the helmet he was wearing. In the past, Beatrice hated seeing his face. Now, however, she thought he looked better without the helmet.I guess hes not hideous,she admitted.

You, Max began.

What?

I saved you a few days ago, so be honest with me.

Beatrice furrowed her brow at the mention of the incident then asked, What is it?

His expression grave, Max questioned, Even to you, Im handsome, arent I? Seeing my face, you would forgive me for any wrongdoing, right?

Instead of answering, Beatrice got up and pointed her finger at the door. Get the hell out of here.
