‘Agnes’ was a girl who saved the prince’s life by coincidence. Thanks to his kindness, she received the opportunity to serve as a chambermaid in the palace. Though initially staying with him as an old friend, An naturally fell in love with him. However, as time passed and he become emperor, she knew her unrequited love had to come to an end… “Do you like men much?” “…You’re going too far.” An’s face darkened. She stared at the man who’s eyes burned with an intense fire. His expression was grim and unrelenting. “It’s true, is it not? Jumping from one man to another, you’re insane…” “What’s wrong with me meeting with potential partners? I’m marriageable age, after all.” An bit her lip, while Lennox slowly parted his. “…What’s the problem?” “What do you mean?” Hearing her question, Lennox’s eyelashes trembled slightly. His claw-like hands clamped down on her, pressing her against the wall. An let out a cry and closed her eyes. But fortunately, his hand cradled the back of her head, shielding her from the wall. Trembling, she glared at him. “You said you didn’t like me.” “I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.” An blinked in confusion. It was clear he was referring to that particular incident. This man dug into her unwanted memories, her breath hitching as red crept upon her face. Lennox’s face twisted at the sight of her reaction. “You clearly said you hated me.” “Your Majesty.” “Did you really find me that unbearable?”
