Things I Didn’t Know Because It Was The First Time

t be insane.

Feeling the pressure, her breathing became heavier, and her mind clouded in a shroud of darkness.
Even the scene where she drank the remaining tea was erased from her mind, as time passed.

After she returned to her mansion that evening, the only thing Scarlett could do was apologise whenever she saw her husband.

Viktor did not respond to Scarlett’s apology, nor did he mention it again.
Rather, it was her father-in-law, Gregory Dumfelt, who, in trying to mock her, told her he was angry.

He ridiculed his daughter-in-law.
He stated she blocked his son’s path, making Scarlett even more stressed out.
This caused an argument between them on multiple occasions.

Fortunately, she had been planning a luncheon for a while, which was scheduled for New Year’s Eve.
Thus, she killed time preparing for it.
It was a luncheon to celebrate Viktor’s becoming royalty, but Viktor did not cancel it.

On the day of the luncheon, Scarlett, dressed in a red velvet dress, tried to leave the dressing room.
But one of Viktor’s subordinates, Pallin Redford, blocked her.

“You can’t leave because there’s a luncheon today.”

At his words, Scarlett tilted her head.

“What do you mean I can’t leave?”

“The captain doesn’t want his wife to attend the luncheon.”

Only the elite of the elites was part of the Rubied, where Viktor was the captain.
All of them excelled in physique and grades.

They even had sons from prestigious families.
Among them, Pallin was known to be the second most skilled at fighting after Viktor.

Scarlett stopped at Pallin’s blunt words.
He stood behind her back and blocked the door.
Slowly, she opened her mouth.

“Viktor doesn’t want me to appear in front of others?” 

“Yes, that’s right,” Pallin answered after thinking for a while.

“Is it because I’m shy?”

“Yes, that’s… yes.”

Pallin frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable, but immediately released the door.

Scarlett, who was watching Pallin silently, nodded.

“Okay.”

“Yes, then.”

Pallin bowed his head, and tried to close the door, but stopped moving.

Scarlett was walking to the chair by the window of the dressing room with a bitter expression.

Pallin hardened.

“Please stay away from the window.
Madame is not supposed to be present today,” he said.

Although Scarlett didn’t say anything, Pallin felt her remorse and turned his head.

“I’ll move the chair.”

“Ah…thank you.”

He immediately moved the window chair and table to the wall.

Scarlett walked over there and sat down in her chair, leaning her upper body on the table.

Pallin took off his jacket first, worried for her body leaning over the table.
Then he draped it over her shoulder and then said goodbye, rubbing the nape of his neck in discomfort.

“Well… I’ll tell you again after the luncheon.”
