"I want to kick it one more time."
I touched my sour throat and coughed.
Anyway, I knew his intention and made him pay for it. Now it's time to move on.
'It's time to leave this space.'
In the midst of this, the subspace constantly vibrated. However, the opaque barrier did not show the surrounding situation.
I squatted down facing him, while he clenched his crotch.
"Duke, you're not the only one who can attack."
His face was full of pain, frustration, and anger.
However, Lenox immediately looked at me terribly and laughed meanly.
"You're trapped with me right now anyway."
"Ah, that's it."
I paused while trying to bring it up.
Seeing his face full of hatred and hostility, his backbone shone a bit.
He and I clearly felt that we have crossed a river that we could never return to.
At that moment, the subspace cracked with a rustling sound. The opaque membrane gradually became transparent, and the surrounding noise began to slowly be heard again.
I glanced around and laughed. However, this was not the first small garden where the subspace was created.
A large subspace was moved to the center of the ballroom.
Lenox, who had no idea that there was a problem with the subspace due to his anger, gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Crazy bitch, how dare you!"
I looked around in amazement.
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah, if it wasn't for your bloodline in the first place, I would have never gone out with a crazy bitch like you."
"It's not enough that you're having an affair with Sheria, you're even ranting? Why are you saying this, Duke."
I opened my eyes wide and said cheekily. "Then will you stop insisting on us getting married now?"
"Okay! Get out of here, before I kill you. Do you think you can compare to my lover, Sheria?"
His mask which always pretended gentleness to the fullest was completely peeled off.
And crunch! There was a loud roar.
'It's over.'
Finally, the space where Lenox and I were locked up in became perfectly transparent.
The space is broken.
He opened his mouth to the unexpected situation and looked around hastily.
'Dominic, very nice!'
I could see astonished people beyond the subspace.
Dominic, who was at a distance, winked and pursed his lips.
'Exactly crazy bastard I put speaker magic on it.'
'You did a good job.'
I glanced at Lenox.
Like him, who collapsed in despair, I fell to the floor and got quite close to him.
"You, no, this is...."
He was panicking at the unexpected situation.
But what would you do with the water that's already been spilled?
I whispered softly in Lenox's ear. So that only he could hear it.
"The reason the subspace continued to vibrate, was to move us to the ballroom."
"What?"
"Ah, you thought I was trying to break the space? That's not it."
"...What the hell is your power? Wasn't it an illusion or alchemy?"
Inwardly I laughed at Lenox.
To be honest, I didn't know he would create a subspace.
But Dominic and I were in a state of perfect connection with the whole sound. We were able to flexibly change the situation according to our will.
"Duke, how could you honestly confess your affair?"
I covered my face with my hand as if I were surprised.
The atmosphere froze coldly.
In the center of the ballroom, just below the sparkling chandelier. Me and Lenox sat down in the same ugly way.
But we will have completely different endings.
The man who was dumped by me now has nothing left but to fall further down.
"It's not enough that you're so obsessed with me that you would create a subspace... You're even ruining the ball."
"What? What?"
He still hasn't come to his senses.
He has been managing his image as if he were a cold but a friendly northern duke to everyone.
But the mean things you did were revealed to everyone here. It will probably be difficult to come to your senses easily.
I brought my hands to my lips in order to hide the corners of my lips that were about to burst out in laughter.
"You insulted me for rejecting the marriage, and you even confessed to having an affair."
At my words, the cold atmosphere was significantly reversed.
Clang!
There was a sound of someone dropping a glass.
And the sound became a signal.
The people present also heard Lenox's swear words and everything I said.
The noise of people whispering began to be heard loudly.
"Du, Duke Hessmann......"
"······You must have said something vulgar....'
"Did you just hear that?"
"Was it really the Duke of Hessmann who hung on to marry Meldenique?"
"Then what about those rumors? That it is Lady Meldenique that is obsessed?"
"Is the rumor true that Lady Meldenique has awakened her powers......?"
"By the way, are you certain he's having an affair? Oh my god. Oh my. There is no one in this world you can trust."
Perhaps if there were only socialites here who followed the Duke of Hessmann firmly, this scandal might have been easily forgotten.
His achievements were enormous.
However, the person who hosted the ball was Lady Moodcella of the Maxson family, a member of the imperial sect.
Lady Moodcella the daughter of the Maxson family frowned at Duke Hessmann who pretends to be the head of the aristocracy.
"Even someone I've never invited secretly sneaked in."
Moodcella Maxson looked at the one who crawled in uninvited in contempt for ruining her ball.
"······I know."
"I can't believe you're doing such a thing at a ball that you didn't even receive an invitation....."
'For now, try to endure people's finger pointing.'
Those gathered at the ballroom were neutral and pro-imperial aristocrats.
The curiosity and hostility of more than fifty nobles were on the immature Lenox.
He just looked around with a bewildered face.
I raise my hand and put it under my eyes. It was so funny that he was completely subjected to everything I had done in the past.
['I heard the young Meldenique is so obsessed?'
'Duke Hessmann is pitiful. How annoying would it be?']
At their words Lenox would smile gracefully and say.
['Lady Meldenique is a bit weak, but she's my fiancee.']
Pretending to be humble, it was a way of lowering Meldenique and raising himself.
However, it was different for the ladies who had a crush on Lenox.
['How are you so kind, Duke Hessmann?'
'You're really incredible. You could have been able to get a better fiancée.']
He fully enjoyed the envy of the ladies pouring towards him.
This was when Meldenique was locked in a corner of the ball after being finger pointed as a cursed villainous woman.
While reminiscing briefly on the past, a whisper was heard through the crowd.
"What else about the affair?"
"Could he be wearing a human mask? So, did Sheria, the flower of the social world, steal her sister's man?"
Oops, it's going very smoothly, exceedingly smoothly.
I put my hands to my mouth in amazement and shouted loudly at him.
"I cut you some slack when you cheated on me, but how can you be so violent?"
I said pitifully, pretending not to have taken Lenox's heart, pretending to be a victim of good faith.
I'm glad I wore an off-shoulder dress that reveals a lot of my skin just in case!
The people in this place must have seen the bright red mark on my neck.
I smiled implicitly Inwardly, while trying to imagine sadness at the same time.
"Oh, my. Lady Meldenique is crying!"
More and more people were admiring my acting skills.
I was immune enough to the surrounding whispers. But I missed the time to get up.
'When should I get up?'
Lenox was looking at me with a terrifying gaze.
I need to hurry up and run.
'I should find Dominic.'
As I was looking for Dominic and measuring a time to get up, a gloved hand reached out in front of me.
Of course I thought he was Dominic so I reached out.
"Are you okay, Lady Meldenique."
But the man who reached out to me was Mathieu.
