It seems She has Become the First Love of the Impenetrable, Iron-Hearted Male Protagonist

By the time I arrived at the marquess’ estate, the day had grown quite dim.

I went straight to my room and soaked in the bath that Ann had prepared for me in advance.

When I emerged, having taken my time, Ann, who was waiting with comfortable clothes in hand, whispered softly to me.

“Miss, Lady Vivian has arrived.”

“Really?”

Noticing my excitement, Ann quickly began drying my hair. When I stepped out to the center of the room, I saw Vivian lounging on the sofa in a rather adorable pose.

“Vivian, what are you doing here?”

Vivian, who had been lying on the sofa with one arm propping up her head, nonchalantly sat up.

“Vivian was too bored, so I came over.”

“What about Kaden?”

“I don’t know. He hasn’t been playing with me much lately!”

Vivian looked as though she might jump up and down in frustration at any moment. Judging by her sulky expression, she seemed thoroughly upset with Kaden.

“Really?”

“It’s hard to even see Kaden these days.”

Is he focusing on his training?

Raised under the full support of both the Winters family and Olivia’s family, the Grand Duke’s house of Riley, Kaden was Olivia’s pride and joy.

It was only natural, considering he excelled at everything from a young age.

If Olivia ever learned that her precious Kaden aspired to join the White Knights, she wouldn’t take it lightly.

“Rose, are you alright?”

The sound of Vivian tugging at my sleeve brought me back to my senses.

“Huh?”

“Just now, your face looked all scrunched up like this.”

Vivian scrunched her face in an exaggerated imitation, which only made her look irresistibly cute. I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Vivian, what do you want to do with me?”

“Can you read me a book?”

When I patted the spot next to me on the bed, Vivian dashed over with a book in hand.

“I’ll go fetch some desserts,” Ann offered.

“Please do, Ann.”

As the door closed behind her, Vivian peeked out cautiously and then began rummaging through her pockets.

“What are you doing, Vivian?”

“I have something for you.”

After fidgeting for a while, Vivian extended her tiny fist toward me.

“This is…”

In her outstretched palm was a small candy, slightly different in appearance from the one Ian had given me. It was round and about the size of a fingernail.

Is this some new trend in the capital?

“This is a special treat just for you,” she said.

“Where did you get this?”

“Mark gave it to me secretly.”

Mark, the chef, had a soft spot for Vivian. She often declared that his desserts were the best, and though he would always respond with a sheepish smile, it was clear he was pleased.

“Are you sure you want to give it to me?”

“Vivian already had a lot. I saved this one for you because I know you like sweet things.”

With such sweet words, it was no wonder she was adored by everyone.

“Thank you, Vivian.”

As I lightly patted her head, Vivian handed me the book.

After flipping through a few pages, I noticed the sound of soft breathing. Glancing over, I saw Vivian nodding off.

As I gently closed the book, Ann entered the room carrying a tray of desserts.

“Miss, I brought the desserts—”

“Shh.”

Ann spotted Vivian sound asleep beside me and quietly approached.

“Lady Vivian must have been tired,” she whispered.

“It seems so. She must have come to me because she was sleepy. What’s my mother doing right now?”

“Madam is in the drawing room. Lord Dylan is visiting.”

So that’s why Vivian came to me.

Vivian was the type to feel scared easily and preferred having someone nearby before she fell asleep.

Normally, she would cling to Olivia or Kaden, but since Kaden had been scarce lately and Olivia was occupied with Dylan, she must have turned to me.

“By the way, Miss,” Ann began.

“Yes?”

“You said you’re not going to the knights’ training tomorrow, correct?”

“That’s right.”

I suddenly had a bad feeling. Should I change my plans now? Just as I was debating, Ann gave me a bright smile.

“Then tomorrow, you must get fitted for your dress.”

A dress?

The task that Rosevelia found so tiresome—getting fitted for dresses—was now on my to-do list.

“Is it really necessary? Can’t I just wear anything?”

I replied in a deliberately indifferent tone but quickly covered my mouth.

While Rosevelia didn’t care much for dresses, I secretly looked forward to picking one out.

Who wouldn’t enjoy trying on beautiful dresses?

Even in my previous life, I had always approached anything related to fashion with enthusiasm.

With this face and figure, I absolutely had to dress up properly.

“No, you can’t. Kaden’s birthday is coming up.”

Kaden’s birthday…

Now that I thought about it, this aligned with the original story. The Winters family would soon make their appearance in the plot.

In the original story, Daisy had received an invitation from the Winters family but hadn’t attended the party due to poor health.

So that invitation was for Kaden’s birthday party.

“That’s why I’ve already arranged for the tailor to come tomorrow. So no last-minute training excuses, alright?”

I reluctantly nodded in agreement.

The Rosevelia in my memories always wore dresses that concealed her figure, but this time, I intended to pick one that accentuated it.

I wonder if Daisy will skip the party again this time.

“Miss, an invitation has arrived from the Winters family.”

With deliberate indifference in my tone, I answered and quickly covered my mouth.

Rosevelia may not have been interested in dresses, but I secretly looked forward to choosing one.

Who wouldn’t enjoy trying on beautiful dresses?

Even in my previous life, I approached anything related to dressing up with passion.

With this face and figure, I absolutely had to make the most of it.

“No, you can’t. Kaden’s birthday is coming up soon.”

Kaden’s birthday…

Now that I think about it, the Winters family appears in the original story around this time. In the original story, Daisy received an invitation from the Winters family but didn’t attend the party due to poor health.

So the invitation the Winters family sent back then was for Kaden’s birthday party.
