Adrian and Violet's wedding day.

Their wedding was held at the Dynasty Hall of Hwangseong.

Since it was a wedding on such a large scale, there were quite a number of guests.

It felt as if all the nobles of the capital had gathered.

Before the ceremony began, Raphine sat down at the table and looked around him. Then, as if familiar, she folded her arms and whispered to Zer Khan.

"I am so hungry."

Of course, what he said in a whisper didn't matter. To act in front of others, I dared to come closer.

Zerkan had a trembling expression on his face. Raphine laughed inwardly. Today, Zerkan's acting was also good.

A concept in which Raphine wants to die, but Zerkan doesn't like it.

'It seems that Zerkan's acting skills are improving as he continues to do it.'

Raphine smiled to herself as she looked into the eyes of the nobles who looked sadly at her.

However, contrary to Raphine's expectations, Zerkan actually didn't feel good about acting.

It's been like this since a few days ago, after talking about her divorce with Raphine.

I'm just annoyed and nervous... ... . Raphine was also mean.

In fact, after visiting the Countess of Niklas, Zer Khan felt feelings toward Raphine similar to her comradeship.

Together, she contemplated the temple, used the word 'enemy', and made various plans.

For this reason, I took Raphine for granted as 'my side'.

But seeing Raphine casually talking about her divorce, he was confused.

The place where Raphine crossed her arms and pulled her out was toxic, and every time she whispered in a whisper, her chest was pounding... ... .

Even though she knew it was all her acting, her heart pounded like crazy as Raphine blinked her eyes lovingly at her.

She thought she was perfect for me, and it felt like she had a big hole in her chest, thinking she would eventually leave her side.

Then, she whispered in a whisper as Raphine squeezed her arms even tighter.

"Prince Antonio is looking at us over there."

Raphine leaned her head on Zerkan's arm and smiled brightly. Zerkan also found Antonio.

Antonio, who attended as a guest with the Empress, was gazing at them from afar with eyes that were likely to kill them.

Suddenly, Zerkan thought about what would happen if Raphine, who was clinging to his arm like a koala, would treat him like this.

She was so happy that her heart was pounding just imagining it.

But she was only imagining.

'I'll change my attitude as soon as people disappear.'

She would fold her arms out in one breath and take a step away from her, huh, and let her sigh.

It was as if the smoke from a while ago was really tired.

Zer Khan clenched his fists.

She's not acting, she's Raphine and she really wants her to like herself.

Reception after the wedding.

Raphine accompanied her maids, and she greeted several nobles.

At her tea party, her wives, who she attended, looked at her raffinée with love to her death.

And the nobles, who did not receive her invitation, were eager to catch Raphine's eyes even now.

Among them were the nobility of the royal family.

Raphine found the empress in the distance, biting her lips with an absurd expression.

'By the way, where did Zerkan go?'

As soon as her wedding was over, she disappeared and she was nowhere to be seen.

Raphine left her maids behind and climbed up her high steps, where she kept watching.

When there are so many people, she has to cling to Zer Khan's side... ... .

It was then. A few young nobles entered the terrace in Raphine's sight.

And the hem of the pink lace dress.

'That dress... ... .'

Raphine remembered St. Celestina, whom she had met at the time of her wedding earlier.

She thought she looked very good today as she wore a sky pink dress.

She remembered that the lace on her dress was unusual... ... .

Raphine slowly descended her steps and walked towards the terrace where the young nobles entered.

Guards stood guard at every door on the terrace, but no one could stop the future Crown Princess.

Raphine focused on her voice coming through her curtains.

"Why would you stumble? What did she say she met on the street?"

She said, "She's never met a former Young-sik."

The voice of a sarcastic young man and the voice of a determined saint were heard one after another.

'It doesn't seem like a big deal.'

She was when Raphine was about to turn around.

"oh!"

She heard a brief scream, believed to be Celestina's. Raphine stopped walking again and lifted the curtain slightly to check the inside.

It seemed that the young nobleman pushed the saint to the sofa on the terrace side.

"What is this?"

"What are you doing? I'm curious. Why did the precious saint wander around that street called the dark district? Did you secretly go into debt?"

At that, the other young nobles giggled and laughed. These were people who were known for their bad conduct.

"If it's a saint, shouldn't she be honest? She is tolerant of people who are a bit lonely and lonely, and she cares about them."

"That's right, we're a little lonely."

The young nobles sat down next to her saint and put her cigarette in their mouth.

"I think if the saint gently touches her, the wounds on her body and mind will be healed. how about it?"

Their tone of voice was blatantly sarcastic. Raphine noticed the wrinkled expression on her saint's expression and walked inside.

She honestly doesn't want to be meddling, but... ... I hate to just pass by.

"Vision?"

The man who found Raffine first blinked in bewilderment.

Raphine approached, puck with an innocent expression! He pushed the man away with strength in both her hands.

"Uh, uh! Aww!"

The man leaning against the railing went out of the terrace as it was.

The other young nobles stood up in surprise.

Raphine walked closer to them.

"Rain, Vision? what now... ... !"

They could not dare touch Raphine's body, who would become the royal family, so they gradually retreated. I had nowhere else to go.

Driven to the railing, they looked at Raphine with a hopeful expression.

Raphine gently pushed their shoulders away with an expressionless face.

"Aww!"

"Aww! Sah, live! Aww!"

They all fell down the terrace, leaving only Rafine and Saint Celestina in the space.

Celestina looked at Raphine in surprise, unable to shut her mouth.

"You don't need to just listen to those words, do you? While being able to use divine power."

"Sa, you can use it to break people... ... ."

"... ... ."

Raphine shrugged his shoulders at the moral book-like answer. Celestina turned her head and glanced under the terrace to see if they were dead.

"I'm not going to die because it's on the second floor anyway."

Raphine answered and left the terrace.

"... ... ."

I couldn't even say thank you or tell me not to meddle.

Celestina stared blankly through her curtains, where Raphine had disappeared.

* * *

'uh? There it is.'

Raphine came out of the terrace and found Zerkan standing in the distance.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

As I got out of the crowd and followed Zerkan, I came to a quiet hallway.

Perhaps he heard Raphine's voice belatedly, and he turned and looked at Raphine.

"phew. Where have you been, huh?"

Raphine asked, holding his arm without hesitation.

"I kept looking... ... ."

But Raphine was speechless. Zer Khan stretched his arm back and removed Raphine's arm.

"... ... ."

Raphine blinked in embarrassment. I just avoided my hand, and it was shocking as if I had been pushed hard.

Why?

Zerkan looked around and spoke softly.

"Because there are no people."

"ah... ... ."

Raphine finally understood what he meant and put his hand down awkwardly.

It meant that there was no need for useless skinship because there were no people.

Maybe it's because I've been looking for it, I'm glad I didn't know... ... .

Raphine looked up at him, clasping his hands and stretching them out.

"Where have you been?"

"I'm here to meet Violet and Adrian."

"It was."

"okay."

Zerkan stopped walking again as he tried to walk. I could feel the presence of people through the hallway.

He took a step closer, bowed his head, and spoke in his ear.

"For the time being, I hope you will refrain from touching yourself in front of people."

"yes?"

"It's uncomfortable."

With those words, Zerkan strode away. Raphine stood there for a moment and stared blankly at Zerkan's back.

And at the end of the hallway on the other side.

Someone watching them clenched his fists. He bit my lip hard enough to bleed.

'Why would you be treated like that? ... !'

It was Antonio.

He was frustrated and angry with Raphine, who was still standing there despite being treated like that by his older brother.

Had she married herself, she would never have been treated that way.

People gossip when they just gather.

How cold the Crown Prince was to the Crown Princess, and how pitiful Aston Raffine, who used to be a gold digger, was in a pitiful condition.

Every time he heard that story, Antonio felt his stomach ache even though he thought he was a good boy.
