"Please overwrite this for now. Whether it's counting money or drinking, shouldn't we avoid rain for now?"
"I'm really fine. It's okay to do this now... Oh."
As she was about to step into the harbor with the hem of her dress in purple, her smiling face suddenly relaxed. Even in the dark of night, the eyes of the man standing in front of her were too clear.
"Why do you want to...?"
"..."
She doesn't know what else to say to a man she met again in a day in such a small city. Evangeline, who had been hesitating, tried to turn around in a hurry, but it was not easy to avoid Deccarno's open chest.
'What are you going to do now?'
Even when she tried to speak out in her heart, there were too many eyes to see. Isn't he a man who carries people's eyes? Aside from the eyes of the merchants around her, who were already glancing at what was going on, she was also very worried about the presence of Charles standing behind her.
"..."
But you can't stay on someone else's boat forever. Just as she barely took a step down the stairs next to Deccarno, the jacket over her shoulders that Charles had put on fell down.
"Oh..."
Just as Evangeline was about to pick up her jacket, Deccarno's body suddenly appeared. As if there was no need for that, the black umbrella he was holding hung over her head. Charles, who was following her, picked up his clothes for her and burst into laughter.
"Look at this, Duke. What is this now!"
"It's late."
"..."
Michael ran in case of an unforeseen collision, but it didn't have to. Far from being unpleasant, the bass of Deccarno, which did not even look back properly, calmed the surroundings. It's hard to be so indifferent to flying insects. He was a man who was nothing more or less than just having something noisy by his side, and he was a man who got tired of his unique arrogance.
Or maybe her vision is full of one person.
"Take it."
"...Why are you doing this?"
"Is this okay?"
Evangeline, who had taken the umbrella out of thin air, tried to return it to him, but before she could do so, Deccarno took a step back. It seemed that he was well aware of her reluctance to be under the same umbrella as him.
He's not a man who can endure such insults.
Evangeline's long, curved eyelashes swayed like butterfly wings.
"..."
After meeting him like that yesterday, she believed that if they met again, there would be nothing to worry about. Whether she was angry or impressed, there was no reason to back down. Evang was going to show that she didn't need his help.
"Hurry up."
However, her lips dried up as she saw the man's hair, which she had never encountered in her life, getting wet. The words that she didn't need this and why it kept bothering her were scattered in the water mist.
The sound of raindrops on the umbrella resounded loudly.
However, it was not a time to use a friendly umbrella. His gaze at her from a couple of steps behind her became increasingly unbearable.
"Duke."
Please tell me why you are doing this.
Leaving her hesitant, Deccarno suddenly turned around first. His eyes widened bitterly, as if he had read Evangeline's mind.
"Your Excellency!"
As he walked straight towards the carriage, Michael chased after him with a new umbrella, but all he made was a short gesture to get away. As if he had not touched a drop of water, even though he had been soaked in the rain, his aristocratic profile was suffocating.
"Wow... What kind of human being!"
"Charles."
Don't. Evangeline shook her head at Charles, who was about to spit out an Insult in anger. It's the same as not knowing what to say, even though Deccarno is gone. As she watched the Duke's carriage leaving the port, she openly fiddled with the handle of his ivory umbrella.
