The Impact Of The Villainess' Fake Marriage On The Ending

Chapter 2

Adeline looked at Kael's hand, still stunned.

If it was the way it was supposed to be, Kael should not have even glanced at Adeline once. He had to treat all the women, including Adeline, strictly as if they were not there, and clung to Vanessa, courting her enthusiastically.

'You're not going to look at Vanessa right now, are you?'

But the situation right now was the complete opposite. It was absolute madness.

She urgently tried to search for Vanessa, but she was completely blocked by the Crown Prince, so she couldn't see what was going on.

'How... Alright. Let's refuse the dance for now. That comes first.'

The other ladies would be cheering inwardly if Kael asked them for a dance, but not Adeline. The events taking place as they did in the original work was Adeline's only goal.

"Your Grace, Grand Duke Inver, I... Ah!"

The moment she thought she had to get away from Kael and tried to refuse his request, the crowd at the place where Adeline was standing suddenly moved.

The densely packed crowd, which someone had to burrow through to come to the front, fluctuated somewhat raucously, and Adeline's body was pushed forward in the process.

Although she was clearly going to refuse, she grabbed Kael's hand on impulse while trying to regain her balance due to her body being pushed.

'No, what is this! Who on earth!'

Whoever looked at it, it seemed that she had naturally accepted the request.

Adeline screamed inwardly, trying to find the mastermind behind the sudden commotion, but it was useless.

Kael led her to the center, bowing down to greet her.

It was the beginning of a full-fledged ball waltz. Now, Adeline could not refuse or escape as she wished.

Kael's large hand wrapped around Adeline's waist, and Adeline's hand rested on his firm arm.

"Dear heavens!"

"Oh my, oh my."

As their hands were held together and the distance between the two became shorter, exclamations were heard among the noblewomen who were watching.

Until now, Kael had never danced with a lady at a ball, giving all kinds of excuses, and above all, Kael and Adeline's picture was great.

'Ah...'

Adeline, who was sighing inwardly, looked up at Kael at the sudden thought that crossed her mind.

In the original work, Kael fell in love with Vanessa while dancing.

She was worried that he would fall for her because things weren't going as they should.

'That's a relief. He doesn't seem to like me or be interested in me. Phew.'

In the scene in the original work of Kael and Vanessa at the ball, it was written, 'Everyone at the ball knew that they had fallen in love at first sight'.

However, she couldn't feel the energy of someone who had fallen in love coming from Kael. His blue-grey eyes still felt cold, and the corners of his mouth weren't rising.

The way Adeline saw it, it was a face without any special emotion. Only the end of his gaze was directed at Adeline.

But the moment she sighed, saying that it was a relief, something happened.

Adeline stepped on Kael's foot because she had been distracted by her thoughts and missed the beat of the dance.

"Your Grace—"
