Chapter 10

Cassian’s asked with his eyes wide open. I casually shook my head. 

“No, I was still sitting here. Did you see? I’m just here.” 

Every word was right, from the beginning to end. 

‘It’s Harry who hit you, it’s not me.’ 

I said confidently and shrug my shoulders. 

“How can a weak woman like me throw away a man as strong as you?” 

Yvesria was tall, but she was thin. 

It was obvious that I don’t have the power to throw an adult man on the floor. 

“Yes. I suppose so. It’s just that… …someone grabbed my head. 

Cassian touched the back of his head as if he was confused. 

He was apparently caught and thrown at the head, but he had no idea what happened. 

“…Excuse me, let’s go back to what we were talking about.” 

He soon recovered from the confusion and rose from his seat. He cleared his throat a couple times, embarrassed by his own self. 

“You always begged me to hold your hand, hold you, and kiss you. I can give you that. It’s not a bad condition. It’s all the things you wanted so badly, isn’t it?” 

Despite the funny suggestion, Cassian was relaxed. 

‘Yvesria’s affection for Cassian was just as great.’ 

Taking Yvesria’s one-sided and desperate love as a pretext, he was acting as if he had the upper hand even at this moment when he had to beg for help. 

He’s free to assume I still like him, but I’m afraid you can’t pull myself like this again. 

‘It’s also annoying for him to be so smug and snobbish that he have the upper hand.’ 

It was necessary to make sure that the situation changed. 

“Your Highness.” 

I called Cassian with a smile. 

“Did you think I’d be happy with the offer?” 

“Isn’t that a good deal for you? You used to ask for a kiss in exchange for doing me a favor.” 

‘Did you, Yvesria!’ 

My smiling face cracked. 

In the novel, Yvesria’s story didn’t unravel much. 

She always appeared in only cases that tormented Catherine, so I didn’t even know there was such a behind-the-scenes story. 

‘But this is an important case. Shouldn’t it have been shown in the novel?’ 

I was so angry and quickly realized. 

It is quite an important event for me now, but it was only a bad story for the writer or reader. 

The most important thing in the novel is the story of the main character after all. 

There was a set amount parts, and in order to complete the whole story, one had to effectively strike off the side branches away from the center. 

Yvesria’s tale of insanity, so to speak, was such a side story. 

‘Yes, I knew it from the beginning. It’s a side story’ 

Now I can see the reason why Cassian was so proud when he made such a ridiculous proposal. 

He has made a similar deal before, so he talked about it with pride. 

‘ But that’s when it happened.’ 

Isn’t it weird to think that things are the same now? 

When you cheated on her and broke up? 

I couldn’t imagine how much stupid Yvesria was, to hung on this man. 

During her engagement, Yvesria was always worried about getting the affection of this man even though she was giving a great strength to the succession of the crown prince. 

I looked at the leisurely face of Cassian and drew my tongue inwardly. 

There is no sense of understanding the situation, no eye to see people. 

Goodness to appreciate affection for oneself? 

Of course it was not. 

That’s the king of the future. 

The male hero of the novel. 

‘Is the future of this country okay? Is this novel all right? ‘ 

“Eve.” 

Cassian called me, I expressed my deepest condolences to the people of the kingdom and the readers of the novel. 

“In the first place, our engagement was a deal. I’ll be your husband, and you’ll give me strength. It’s similar to that. It’s just something else I can give you has changed.” 

“I see.” 

“Yes, you mean…” 

“I refuse.” 

“What?” 

“I reject it, that deal.” 

“How come?” 

“Because the price is not so attractive to me?” 

Cassian’s face stiffened. 

He didn’t think I’d turn down the deal. 

He looked me in the eye and laughed as if he knew what was going on. 

“You’ve improved your trading skills. Do you want something else? Do you want to be in the government?” 

“No.” 

“Then you still want to be my wife. I told you I couldn’t give you that.” 

“That’s great. I don’t want it either.” 

” …I don’t understand. So what do you want in the end?” 

“It’s simple. Your highness turned back, and walked forward steadily to the royal capital as it is. And you will not see me forever! Wow, it’s not difficult, isn’t it?” 

I spoke in a kind and friendly way, as if I were teaching a kindergarden. 

No, it may not have been, but I did my best to do so. 

If he doesn’t understand me even though I’ve said it so easily and kindly, he’s a moron. 

“Just go back? You’re not going to make a deal?” 

“Wow. You finally know my meaning.” 

‘Fortunately he was not a moron.’ 

I smiled and wave in joy. 

“Then would you please do what I say? Turn around and walk until to the royal capital.” 

However, Cassian didn’t budge from his position. 

“Why……” 

He clipped his lips several times with a face that looked very complicated, then finally opened his mouth.
