Camellia is Count River's youngest daughter, she was famous for her beauty and innocent nature.
I decided to go to the party to make it clear that I didn't want the position of second wife, and I was tired of the palace I was being held in.
The palace was large but at the same time it was suffocating, so with the help of the maid I got ready for the party.
When I arrived at the tea party area she stood up to greet me.
The pink hair and green eyes made her look like the embodiment of spring.
"Forest and spring" I think they are truly made for each other.
I showed my respect and thanked her for inviting me to the tea party.
"You may leave now, I will take care of my guest" she said to the guards.
"But - my lady" they looked confused
"I will tell him later myself... I don't want my guest to feel uncomfortable because of you" she said in a calm voice.
"Thank you, my lady" I said to Camellia
I was happy that the guards left at that moment, but I later realized my mistake.
“No need to thank me, after all girls should help each other” She smiled at me and we started drinking tea.
“Madam… before we talk I want to tell you that I do not intend to accept the Duke’s offer”
She continued drinking her tea as if she did not hear what I said
“Actually, I was the one who suggested your name, I couldn’t bear to look at his monstrous appearance, so I gave him the idea” Then she put the teacup on the table.
“Why did you choose me? This is the first time we have spoken face to face”
she interrupted me and continued talking
“The wild flower of high society That’s what they call you" Camellia said with a sarcastic smile and continued talking.
“Well at least that’s what they used to call you… You kept rejecting men one after another”
I didn’t like the direction of the conversation and she started to show her true colors, so I tried to get up to leave.
But two maids forced me to sit down as if they knew this was going to happen.
“How rude, but what did I expect from a cheap, fake noblewoman like you. Sit down and let me finish speaking.” The maids kept holding me back and I had no choice but to sit down.
“What do you want from me?” I asked angrily
“I’ve always hated you,” she said with a smile
“I know how insects like you climb the social ladder.”
She stood up and approached me then lifted my chin with her hand and said, “Be a good girl and give birth to the cursed child so I can return to my duties as the Duke’s wife.”
Tana received a marriage proposal to become the Duke's second wife. But she is not happy...
The Duke married a few months ago to his childhood friend, and their love story was known to everyone in the capital.
So why does he need a new wife? What is his secret? And could Tana ever be happy with a man who already has his true love by his side?
