Heroine On Strike

Although he heard the Duchess’s comforting words, he couldn’t agree with his wife today.
He knew very well that this problem wasn’t in Ella’s control, no matter how well she took care of herself.
The obsession and love flowing in that blood always caused trouble.
He hoped that his daughter wouldn’t experience the same.
As the Duke saw the two of them walking over to him with bright smiles without knowing anything, he regretted his choice of choosing Vylun as his daughter’s partner today.

‘I should bring Eric from the remote estate as soon as I return to the estate.’ Although Eric was currently residing at the estate to succeed the title of knight captain, this was a more pressing matter than that.

“Is there something worrying you, sire?”

To think he would see Vylun concerned about someone with that expression.
The Duke smiled bitterly as he saw Vylun worrying about him with a look on his face that he had seen for the first time.
That man was never worried about others his entire life.
However, he met Ella for the first time today, so how did he fall for her so quickly?

The Duke shook his head as he thought, ‘Maybe this is their destinies as well.’

“It’s nothing.
We should go in.”

The party had already started.
Aside from the members of Constance and the host, Tuchizen, all the other nobles had already entered and were enjoying the party.

“The Counselor, Duke Constance, is entering now!”

With a loud announcement, members of the Constance family entered the hall.
Ella had shown a new kind of dress at the last party, so all the ladies waited with anticipation for her appearance.

“I heard the Countess sent Lady Constance a masterpiece.”

“I already received a message to look forward to it.”

“I can’t wait to see it!”

With everyone in anticipation, the Duke and the Duchess entered, and Ella followed behind with Vylun.
Her purple hair was in a bun with a yellow flower decorated on top.
A golden threaded light green lace ribbon was used to pin some of her hair up while the remaining hair flowed gracefully underneath.

People were mesmerized by the elegant finish on the emerald dress and Countess Setin’s unique pattern harmonizing wonderfully.
They then became shocked to see the light green petticoat that slightly revealed itself when Ella walked.

“That is such a wonderful dress!”

“A light green petticoat? I can’t wait to see it on the dance floor!”

“Will she be dancing with that knight?”

People’s focus turned to Ella and moved on to her partner, Vylun, who had dark blue hair that looked close to black but not black enough and had eyes of the same color.
As a man who only thinks of the sword for 24 hours a day, his dark skin had a beautiful, healthy look to it.
His facial features were so manly and distinct that people gasped with astonishment and shame.

“He is so handsome.”

“So what? He knows nothing about courting a woman! That’s the worst kind of man for a woman.”

“It’s a shame that he’s so good-looking.”

“Maybe you can get over it because he’s handsome?”

The older ladies shook their heads at the younger girls, who were mesmerized by the handsome Vylun even with the criticisms about him.
They couldn’t hide their disappointment at seeing another sacrificed lamb made by him.
However, a few were looking at Vylun with puzzled looks.
Those few were women who had a crush on him for a while or people who knew him for a long time.

Vylun, who entered the party with a look on his face that no one had seen before, never took his eyes off Ella, not even once.

“Can you stop looking at me?”

Ella sighed without letting anyone know it was because Vylun was continuously watching her.
She tried to communicate with him without speaking.
It was to the point that she became worried that her face might get penetrated by him looking at her.
