I grabbed the flower that sprouted next to me from the floor in my room and broke it off the stem.

The pink petals were soft and the floral scent was sweet. It was just like a real flower.

“Let’s go to my room first. You must have been very surprised, so sleep next to me today.”

The Grand Duke picked me up and hugged me in his arms while throwing a glance at the knights.

Then, as if surprised, I heard a shout.

“You’ve never let the two of us stay in your room before.”

“To think you would pretend to be so kind.”

I deliberately leaned more into the embrace of the Grand Duke, who was openly friendly only to me.

His heart was beating pretty quickly. As if because of my crisis or my abilities, regardless of the reason I was surprised at his reaction.

It didn’t take long for us to reach the Grand Duke’s room.

I didn’t know until now, but the Grand Duke seemed to have purposely chosen my room to be one of the ones located near his and my brothers’.

So if anything happens to me, I can run to them right away.

‘That’s why I was able to get help quickly again today.’

I laughed little because I was thankful for his quiet consideration.

The Grand Duke looked at me, smiling, as if I was strange, and put me on his bed.

“It’s fluffy.”

The Grand Duke’s bed was much wider than the one in my room.

It looked like it was a dark, solid-looking material, but unexpectedly, when I climbed onto the bed, it swallowed me in its plushness.

‘Too big.’

I couldn’t figure out where to lay, so I sat quietly on the edge of the bed.

The Grand Duke’s room was much bigger than my room. It would be the best room in this mansion, so it’s normal that it’s huge.

It was a room decorated with shades of dark green and mahogany.

On the wall to the right side of the bed, there was a portrait. The lady in the painting was very beautiful and she had silver hair and blue eyes that were shining like jewels.

‘Is it the Grand Duke’s wife? Or his mother?’

Whatever the case, I know it is very important so I shouldn’t touch it.

A tidy and impersonal room like this suits the personality of the Grand Duke.

If I fall asleep and wake up alone in a room like this, it would be very strange if I wasn’t lonely.

“All done. I’ll do it myself, so you can leave now.”

The Grand Duke took off his clothes after sending his servant out.

Surprised, my eyes widened because of the Grand Duke who took off his clothes without warning.

“What, what are you doing?”

I stuttered when I asked, the Grand Duke laughed in response.

“I’m going to sleep.”

The Grand Duke didn’t seem to care whether he was fully clothed or not.

He wore a purple robe that had been laying on the table, he walked away for a moment, leaving me alone.

Then the Grand Duke came to the bed, wearing the thin and silky robe after picking something up from the table.
