It was a pity to make the Marquis’ precious girl, Lyria, a commoner, but Kian did not want to give up on her.

After raising a family there, he may one day have the opportunity to work as a knight again.

With that thought in mind, Kian knocked on Theo’s door.

“Come on in.”

When he opened the door, he saw Theo waking up from the desk. He seemed to wonder why Kian had found his room.

“What’s going on?”

“My contract expires this month. I haven’t received a letter of recommendation yet…”

It was then that Theo remembered that Kian had decided to work for the count, on the condition that he received a good letter of recommendation and received a slashed salary. Kian was a very talented person, except for the fact that he’s half-blooded.

He was not a Sword Master yet, but perhaps he was closer to Sword Master than Matthias. But hiring Kian for a decent salary will be opposed by Paul or Matthias.

“Don’t you want to work here a little longer? As you know, the Adelia family is classier than other places.”

Of course, that was when his relationship with Rowena changed. There was no reason to inform Kian, who was only a guard.

“I hope you’ll do as you promised the first time.”

If it were Paul or Matthias, they would have procrastinated and eventually kicked him out without giving him a letter of recommendation because they were such people.

Even if I say no, this guy would want to quit.

It was best if the family wrote a recommendation letter as promised. If he broke his promise and kicked Kian out without a letter of recommendation, who would come to Adelia Estate and work as a knight? Already, Count Adelia had been rumored to be a poor employer.

If he refused anyway, Kian would visit Rowena for help. It would not be easy to meet her, but he would eventually meet her through other employees who entered the palace.

With Rowena to be coaxed, it was not good to break his promise with Kian. Theo nodded only after coming up with words to excuse Paul or Matthias.

“Okay, we can get it through the butler tomorrow. Don’t tell my father or brother. If they get word of it, problems would arise…”

“Yes.”

Kian thought it was a good thing he found Theo.

This was also Rowena’s advice. She had told him to not go to Paul or Mathias but to see Theo when problems arose.

Then the two of them won’t get involved in Theo’s business.

After receiving the desired answer, Kian politely bowed to Theo and left the room. Lyria and Rowena made an appointment while Rowena was still around.

Early next month…

It was exactly the day after Rowena got engaged. Hearing his confusion, he decided to go to the temple to pray. The temple had a priestess.

With the help of the priestess, he could meet Lyria and run away.

Just a little longer, Lyria.

“Here comes the crown prince.”

Rowena’s face flushed at the words of the servant. The maids stood by the wall as if they knew what was to come. As soon as the prince enters the room, they have to leave the room.

I’m embarrassed. You didn’t tell the ladies what to do, did you?

Rowena glanced at the maids’ complexions and stood up from her seat. Within a few minutes of the servant’s announcement, Cecil entered the room.

However, there was a thick book in the hands of the servants who followed. Cecil instructed them to move the book to his bedroom.

“Everyone out.”

At Cecil’s chin gesture, the maids of the house crowded out of the room. Rowena felt as if she had to leave the room for some reason and moved, but Cecil caught her.

“You should be here by my side.”

Cecil hugged Rowena and kissed her gently, saying in a laughable voice.

Ack!

Although all the servants had left, her face was still hot. Rowena could not escape as he kissed her lips.

Her heart was pounding, and she felt like her whole body was going numb. Cecil pushed his tongue into her mouth, pulling Rowena further into him.

“Um…”

The servants fled the drawing room avoiding eye contact. Cecil was savoring Rowena’s lips up until they closed the door quietly.

“Why didn’t you come to see me? I missed you.”

Cecil asked, looking into Rowena’s eyes. Unable to escape from the lingering effects of the kiss, Rowena looked at Cecil in embarrassment.

“I-I’ll get in the way of Your Highness’ work.”

“You’re not in the way. You can never get in the way. More like you’re an energizer to me.”

“Ah!”

Cecil held Rowena in his arms and walked into the bedroom. Rowena noticed Cecil’s intentions and her heart kept thumping. Cecil, who was heading to bed, grinned at Rowena.
