Chapter 8

Hea PV

I've never seen so many nobles in one room ...

The night has arrived and the estate has transformed:
The exterior was completely lit by candles, as a welcome to the carriages. While the huge hall, in which I never entered, was completely illuminated by lighting all the candlesticks, creating a unique atmosphere, surrounded by walls with frescoes.
The orchestra has started playing and everyone is dancing in complete synchrony; it is clear that they have been instructed in this too ...Which I, who learned to read only a few years ago thanks to the Countess, will never understand.

I am sitting next to Lady Jung while I admire the noblemen dancing; when I realize that Wooyoung is talking to a noblewoman, who I know is obviously interested in him ... who wouldn't?!

I see her laughing at everything and touching his arm, looking for contact..
Honestly, I can no longer watch the scene and after asking the Countess for permission I head to the garden, where I know there will be no one.

I know, I'm obviously jealous..because I'd like to be that girl: Beautiful, rich and with the possibility of talking and dancing with a Earl ... or better with Earl Wooyoung..and who knows, maybe being able to marry him one day.

All things that for me are a daydream, it is enough for me to speak to him and I don't even remember my name.
If he hadn't talked about leaving, I admit, I would have kissed him at the shed.

Just remembering how close we were makes me blush;
One like me shouldn't even think of things like that,
But then I say to myself that imagination is the only thing I have, and in which I am free to create my world ...
And so I find myself in the garden, sitting on the edge of the fountain, playing with water, while I think of what it would be like to be Wooyoung's wife.

"Why hide so much beauty from the world?"
I hear say behind my back, and I immediately turn around, seeing him in all his splendor, in his black suit lit only by the moonlight.

"Don't make fun of me"
"I'm not kidding Hea, I realized immediately that the most beautiful star had left the room"
He says, getting closer.

"Were you watching me?"
Am I teasing him? Yes, and I don't care.
"It had become dark inside without the brightest star"
"Do these sentences ever work with anyone?"
He is now standing in front of me while I am still sitting, and he looks at me from above, forcing me to bend my neck to look at him.

"Who tells you that I use them with someone else?"
"The woman from before seemed quite happy with your company..."
"Hea, won't you be jealous ?!"
He says with a satisfied smile.
"No!"
I get up abruptly, forcing him to take a few steps back.

"Well you don't have to, about that I wanted to talk to you about-"
"He-lp!-"
Some muffled screams interrupt our conversation.
"Shut up!"
Followed by a hoarse man's voice.
