They stared at Rosel without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius looked at Rosalina’s face carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So she feels the same way too?\" he said quietly to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped closer to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is happening,\" he murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In TST, when Rosalina and Julius acted strange around Rosel, I thought the author was just using plot armor to force the story.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But when I actually met her, I was even worse than Rose. She only got dazed. Me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his cheek, his face turning red, \"I even cried while calling her my daughter. At that moment, nothing else was in my mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After I calmed down, I felt so embarrassed. After all, I’m supposed to be an evil villain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s rare for me to cry... and showing kindness to a random stranger felt even more shameful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked his tongue and stood next to Rosalina. Both of them looked at Rosel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosel tilted her head and asked in her small voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Papa... is she the one you always talk about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius gave a small nod. He stayed quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Rosalina, then turned to Rosel with a big grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved his lips slowly and silently so only Rosel could understand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Call. Her. Mommy.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Call. Her. Mommy.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosel blinked at him once. Then she looked at Rosalina, who was still frozen and dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked back at Julius and blinked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tiny, smug grin appeared on Rosel’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gave Julius a quick thumbs-up behind her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she turned fully toward Rosalina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her big eyes became very round and innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blinked slowly a few more times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little sparkling stars seemed to shine in her eyes as she looked up at Rosalina with full cuteness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her soft, sweet voice she asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is after you... are you my mommy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s whole body went stiff. Her black eyes opened wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina tried hard to keep her usual cold face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she looked down at the little girl hugging her legs, her expression started to break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes became soft. Her lips trembled just a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the mini-Rosalina on her shoulder didn’t hold back at all. She burst into loud tears right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her small body shook as she cried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daughter...\" she whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m so sorry. I thought you were someone I should be careful of... someone dangerous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sniffed quietly. A tear slipped down her cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come here, baby! Give mommy a hug!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mini version flew off Rosalina’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She passed straight through the carriage window like a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She floated right in front of Rosel with open arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, give mommy a big hug! I thought you had another mother... I thought my hubby was cheating on me with her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m so sorry for suspecting you, sweetie. I should have listened to the angel. But that bitch devil tricked me and made me think bad things. I’m really sorry... come here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the mini-Rosalina was crying and waving her tiny arms happily, the real Rosalina finally snapped out of her daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly pinched the back of her own left hand, hard, to wake herself up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cleared her throat loudly a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face turned a little red. She looked very awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Somehow, she forced herself to calm down and look normal again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Her cuteness is very dangerous,’ Rosalina thought to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even someone as evil as me felt deep pain in my heart after just one look at her. No wonder hubby felt sorry for her and took her in.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina coughed again. \"Ahem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a small snort. \"Hmph. You should teach her how to behave properly,\" she said in her usual cold voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her back to them, arms crossed tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mini-Rosalina, still floating near Rosel, waved her tiny hands quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, sweetie! She’s lying right now. I’m your real mommy! Call me anytime you want, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried to hug Rosel with her small ghostly arms, but of course, no one could see or feel her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no point, but she kept trying anyway, looking very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clasped his hands together like he was praying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His head lowered a little as he spoke in a soft, almost begging tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, Rose... I know you hate me right now. But in the future, you will love me. It’s guaranteed. So how about we compromise a little? Let her call you that? Please?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s eyes twitched. She slowly turned her head and stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze was sharp, like she was deciding whether to freeze him solid or just ignore him forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Alfred stood a few steps away, completely shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mouth hung open slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This... is this really my young master?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen Julius act like this toward anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So kind. So respectful. So... desperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only time Alfred had seen this side of Julius was when he was a small child talking to his own parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even the clan elders ever got this treatment from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius had been arrogant since he was a boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proud. Cold. Always looking down on everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was behaving like a complete simp toward a girl, a girl who was supposed to be his enemy, no less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what shocked Alfred even more...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most prideful girl in the entire Valentina clan, Lady Rosalina herself, was clearly pretending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was acting cold on the outside, but Alfred could see right through it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had lived much longer than Julius. He had been an assassin once. Reading people was second nature to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius might not notice, but Alfred did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s ears were slightly red. Her fingers were gripping her own arms too tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every time Rosel called her \"mommy,\" Rosalina’s shoulders relaxed just a tiny bit before she forced them stiff again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What in the world is happening right now?’ Alfred thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This can’t be real. The young master begging? The ice princess melting?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosel pushed the carriage door open with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She jumped down lightly onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a few quick small steps, she reached Rosalina.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gently took Rosalina’s hand and pulled it slowly, trying to turn her around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept her back turned, arms still crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosel looked up at Julius with big, worried eyes, asking for help without words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius quickly moved his lips again, silent words only Rosel could see:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Cry.* *Tell.* *Her.* *You.* *Won’t.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Her.* *Mommy.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I know you don’t like me yet, Rose. But if I can’t resist Rosel... then I’m sure you can’t resist her either. Let her be the bridge between us two.’ He thought with a sly grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosel understood right away. She turned back to Rosalina. Her lower lip started to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her big eyes filled with tears. In a small, shaky, crying voice she said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be angry... sniff...If you don’t like it... sniff... I won’t call you mommy anymore...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius cheered inside his head like an excited fan:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That’s right, my little princess! Go and conquer your mommy for your papa!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood there with his arms crossed, waiting patiently, a tiny proud smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina didn’t snap this time. She didn’t turn around either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just cleared her throat a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... ahem...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short silence, she spoke in a calm but slightly softer voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that... your name was given while keeping mine in mind... then I ought to take responsibility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still facing away from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her shoulders relaxed just a tiny bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took one small breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shall call me that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosel’s tears stopped instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face lit up brighter than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?!
