Lover While The Duke
#2 Ballad Tower Zonix (Extra Story)

The Zonix Tower finally came to life after a long refining process.

There was a very draining debate regarding the future of the tower. What will be, how, what and so on.

The selection of the head of the tower was no less frenzied. The upper class society was until it split in two because of the proposed candidate.

Rose Attlier was supported by a lower class nobleman, Dyos Tatiha, who was supported by the Soveil nobility.

There was a cold war during the election.

Though two people are being nominated not caring about the furore. Especially Dyos Tatiha, he had absolutely no desire to become the head of the Zonix tower. He had enough by devoting himself to Soveil.

"How's Duke?" Verdian threw a question at Lionel in front of the nobles.

There is currently a follow-up meeting to decide who will be the head of the Zonix tower.

Very complicated and complicated. Lionel's head is already throbbing pain. He just wants to go home and spend time with his family.

"If you may think of His Majesty. How about we ask two candidates directly. Will they be the head of Zonix's tower."

"Good idea Duke." Verdian Typhoon.

A thousand times dear. Neither Dyos nor Rose refused to be the head of the Zonix tower.

Dilemmas.

The meeting was dissolved and a further session will be held. Dissolved and no end.

Honestly Dyos himself is also fed up. He just wants to live his normal life like he used to. Become a free Soveil witch to experiment whatever she wants.

Not as of now. His existence was too exposed that his movements were being watched. All eyes were on him. It's very uncomfortable.

Plus one more problem. Rose Attlier's. He does not know the heart of a woman. How else if most of the time he used to learn sihur. Rose's behavior confused her.

He had never followed anyone until this close. Especially women. He stuck and was wherever he was. Like a glue that sticks firmly in its object.

Irritatingly. But he couldn't refuse it. If it wasn't for him, Soveil would've lost Duke.

Like now, almost every day he came to his magic house. Bring a variety of dishes or snacks. He asked her to talk at length. There are many things beyond Dyos's mind.

"What is the Witch Master's ideal really?" Ask Rose bluntly.

Dyos who was reading the book glared for a while then returned to focus.

"I used to dream of walking in a garden full of flowers. From then on I broke up if I had to be a florist." Bluntly said.

Bizarrely. According to Dyos, Rose Attlier is just a pest. Something he wanted to get rid of but couldn't. Strange woman who came from nowhere. His thinking is so childish.

Feeling angry and tired at once collected into one. That was what Dyos felt as the nobles one by one left the meeting place.

He wants to come back soon.

As he got up, his sense of regret increased sharply the moment he saw Rose blocking his path.

"Master, will you go somewhere?" Smile rattled.

Dyoa did not answer. With his special face. Cold and indifferent.

"There's a snack shop just opened, you want to go there?" Ask again. As usual, Dyos never responded.

"Come on, you'll like it. We can try it first, right?" Force Rose while pulling Dyos' hand.

Dyos' body did not move at all. She's fed up. Rose in his eyes was a bully.

Sraaac.

Dyos let go of Rose's hand violently. Rose almost fell down. Luckily, he was able to balance his body. Not until it hurts but Rose is very surprised by Dyos' rude attitude.

"Mr Tatiha."

"Enough. Don't call my name as you please." Her voice is so cold.

"Can you stay away from me? You're so annoying." Spray Dyos without the slightest feeling

Rose silently stared. The person he knew was quiet and rarely spoke now put out a lot of words. Not good words but very sharp.

"I just want to cheer up Mr. Witch." Rose replied with a trembling voice.

"You want to entertain me?"

Rose nodded briefly.

"Don't ever show up in front of me again if you want to comfort me."

Without seeing Rose's expression, Dyos left just like that. He was struck by lightning during the day. Dyos' words are painful. So all this time Dyos has refrained from expelling him. Rose's blood rippled. Dyos hates himself. But Rose likes it.

Dyos was his first witch friend. At first he was open and good. If people seem to hate her, it means that Rose has gone too far.

"I must have been very annoying in his eyes." Whisper before you step away.

The meeting hall was empty. He's the only one left behind. Rose walked in with a gontai step.

The next day and the days that followed, Rose never came back to the Soveil mansion again.

Up to two weeks. Meeting day again.

This time it's different. Because at the beginning of the meeting Rose had raised her hand to argue.

"I'm willing to be the head of Zonix's tower."

The supporting nobleman Rose Attlier cheered happily. Eventually this protracted process came to a bright spot. There was a law in Zagc if the person was willing and said from his own mouth, then the other party could not intervene.

In contrast to Duke Soveil's side, they were surprised not to get upset. Especially Dyos. As far as he is concerned Rose said that he also did not want to be appointed and would make the election process difficult. They agreed to reject it.

But today, Rose changed her mind.

Long time no see it, in Dyos eyes, Rose was like everyone else. Rose was not someone she knew anymore. The gentle and considerate Rose no longer existed. To her now, Rose was a resolute and determined woman.

His short speech proved it.

In this way, Rose became the head of the Zonix tower acclamation.

There is something foreign. Something is blocking. And that sense makes Dyos uncomfortable. Seeing Rose standing next to Verdian irritated him. She's upset. But he himself did not know why he was angry.

"Congratulations to Lady Attlier has been appointed head of the tower of Zonix. May Zagc's future be better."

After the meeting and inauguration, the nobles immediately dispersed.

Duke Soveil approached Rose to congratulate her. It was followed by Dyos and several other supporting nobles of Soveil.

"Soveil will support Lady Attlier in full."

"Thank you Your Majesty, I promise to make Zagc's future better." Rose slightly bowed then smiled. Only to Duke Soveil. As soon as Dyos Tatiha's whereabouts were revealed, Rose's expression changed in an instant. His smiling face became flat and cold.

Rose did not greet Dyos because Dyos did not greet him either. He turned his face then looked for another rush.

Dyos who saw it froze in place. His heart was like being squeezed. A foreign feeling infiltrated his every blood stream.

He was angry and disappointed.

"What's wrong?" Mumbled.

Fin.
