The Tezen ducal family, wielding the utmost power, and O’Hara County, possessing all the wealth in the world—their union could not have been more perfect than this. Except there was no burning love. “Evangeline O’Hara is a prepared duchess. It would be troublesome to find another woman now, and there is no guarantee that she would do as well as Evangeline.” For Dekarno, there was no Duchess better than her. So, if it was only about bankruptcy, he could bear with it. However, she couldn’t. “Let’s put an end to this, now.” “…Are you suggesting canceling the engagement?” “Yes.” Evangeline had given up everything she had brought so far and now walked away barehanded. By relinquishing everything, she could let go of that man, too. Even the feelings she had held alone. “I liked you, Your Grace.” “….” “No way. Your Grace didn’t think I was only coveting the position of Duchess, did you?” How could she leave so easily after claiming she liked him? Dekarno couldn’t understand, and his anger boiled inside. The increasingly entangled events, the complicated thoughts—all of it traced back to that woman. In the end, there was no choice but to put everything back in its place. He set out to find Evangeline, who was desperately trying to stand on her own. “You claim you’ll survive. It’s unbearable for a mere human like me to endure.”
