His serious eyes looked like they were on fire, so Charlotte immediately lowered her gaze.
"Well, it's easy to make, so I'll be able to prepare it right away."
When Charlotte spoke, she moved her hand incessantly. With her fingernails, she gently tore off the middle of the flower stem, and repeated this with the other flower stems.
Carcel watched her move silently. Soon after, Charlotte's hand completed a tiny bracelet. It was a flower bracelet for Theo as a gift.
"By the way, if I'd known we'd come here, I'd have brought Theo, too. Duke, do you know that? Theo loves flowers more than you think."
"Is that true ?"
"Yes, he likes flowers and he likes vegetables and cats. I think it would be good to have a cat in the palace when he's a little older."
"I'll think about it."
Charlotte, who had put the bracelet on her wrist to see if the size was right, started making something new this time. It was a little more structured and larger than the bracelet I had made a while ago.
"What are you doing this time?"
"It's a wreath."
Charlotte laughed cheerfully as she looked at Carcel's dark hair.
"I will give it to the duke."
"........."
Carcel fell silent again since he had nothing to say, it was a positive sign.
Charlotte moved her hands vigorously, chatting about anything that came to her mind.
When Charlotte finished the wreath, she asked about what she'd been curious about for a while.
"Why did you leave Theo to Mr. Chase? He had better come with us."
"I wanted us to be alone."
Charlotte's hand stopped. Her mind became muddled, wondering if what Carcel had said was true.
I asked again out of curiosity.
"What? What did you just say...."
"I just wanted to talk to you alone."
He whispered softly and got up before Charlotte's heart calmed down, then sat on his knee in front of Charlotte.
"Du... Duke?"
"I have something I want to give you."
In his hand was a small ring box, which he pulled out of his arms.
Charlotte couldn't keep up with the chain of events that were happening, so her hand stopped completely.
Carcel carefully opened the circular box. It contained a ring of brilliant blue diamonds, similar to the color of Charlotte's eyes, sparkling.
The diamond, meticulously set by the craftsmen, was the size of Charlotte's thumb.
Come to think of it, I haven't given you an engagement ring yet.
"This...."
Because our engagement is fake. But when she looked into Carcel's serious eyes, she couldn't help but utter those words.
She felt she should never have brought up the word fake or contracted here.
For some reason, it seemed Carcel would be heartbroken if she said that. It was terrifying to imagine him closing his heart once more, who had barely opened his heart to her.
