He whispered to Apollonia once more.
Caelionâs lips touched her ear slightly, but Apollonia couldnât move between him and the wall.
âIsnât it natural to have the first dance with oneâs future bride?â
Apolloniaâs eyes widened. She raised her arm to push him away, but before her hand could reach him, Caelion straightened up and stepped back from her with a bright smile on his face.
âThen, I will return to Marquis Edwin, sister. Iâll see you in the lounge in a little while.â
With his usual slick expression, Caelion stepped into the crowd, looking all polite.
âDamn it.â
As he moved away from Apollonia, a low curse spilled out of his mouth.
What he did to Apollonia a while ago wasnât planned.
As he watched her dance with Uriel from the sidelines, Caelionâs heart was filled with rage because he wasnât standing by her side under the spotlight, unlike Uriel. He had treated her that way out of jealousy because she hadnât been giving him enough attention. He had the sudden urge to provoke her somehow, so he brought up the subject of marriage but that only hurt his pride. He was using their engagement as an excuse to put pressure on Apollonia so that she wouldnât give her heart to his rival.
It was likeââ
âYouâre ignoring the obvious fact that your love is an obsession.â
At that moment, Evangelineâs voice rang in Caelionâs head. He told her so arrogantly that he was different from her but Caelion came to understand the truth little by little. When he saw Apollonia smile in Urielâs presence, he wanted to separate them forever so that they could never see each other again. What else would this desire to see her smile only in his presence be if not possessive? đ§đđđđžđđ·đŻâŽđ·đđ.đžâŽđ
âLetâs stop.â
Caelion shook his head once and tried to shake off the thought. Soon, he met other nobles and began to laugh and talk with them using all of his charms but Apollonia was still at the corner of his heart.For the past five years, she had never left his mind even for a moment.

Apollonia went outside to cool her head for a while in the garden. Apollonia suffered countless humiliations from the Emperor and Petra in the Royal Palace but she had never hated this beautiful place she had known since childhood. In Apolloniaâs mind, this garden was hers. She was trying to forget Caelionâs words and his burning gaze earlier as she waited for the right time to head to the lounge. As she sat down for a moment and pondered, Apollonia saw a womanâs silhouette approaching the garden. Similar to Apollonia, she appeared like she was looking for a place to sit and rest.
She hadnât seen this woman in the banquet hall, and from her costume alone, she looked like she was someoneâs maid. She was reeling a bit as if she was too exhausted. No. Upon looking closely, she seemed to be limping.
*SIGH*
Apollonia held her breath when the woman approached the fountain with a languid sigh. Her features told that she was a Bella. Black hair. Exceptionally dark complexion. Incredible appearance. However, there was another reason why Apollonia was surprised.
âYou areââââ
She had definitely seen that face before.
She left a strong impression on Apollonia that she could never forget that face once she set her eyes it.
It was Amoretta.
The greatest genius Apollonia had ever met.
She had magically appeared in front of Apolloniaâs eyes after inquiring about her for five years and not finding any traces.
Apollonia felt like she was dreaming.
âOh, Iâm sorry. Your Royal Highness. I didnât know you were there.â
She spoke in a languid voice that Apollonia remembered. fre(e)novelkiss.com
Five years later, Amoretta looked more beautiful than before but she couldnât sense any recognition from her dreamy yet captivating eyes.
Naturally, she didnât know who she was.
âItâs all right. You can sit down.â
As Apollonia, who had been speechless for a while, acknowledged her presence, she hesitated before sitting next to her.
âDo you have someone attending the banquet right now? Why do I feel like Iâve never seen you before?â
Hiding her surprise, Apollonia asked her as if she knew nothing.
