Here’s a smooth and natural English translation of the passage you provided:


‘Strangely… when I hold you, it feels like the heat that scrambles my mind cools down.’

‘You’re a bit warm.’

‘…So they say you’re a symbol of that. Hmph, didn’t I tell you not to move?’

The man’s threatening voice came out in a soft, languid tone. She had only meant to tease him a little in the suddenly heated atmosphere, but it must have provoked him—because he climbed on top of her. Trapping her with his strong arms, he slid between her legs and sat her down on his thigh.

‘Such a wicked little cat.’

With their bodies pressed tightly together, he kissed the hair that had spilled messily over the pillow, then buried his face into her nape. His tongue flicked against her neck, making her shrink from the ticklish sensation, and then he grazed her skin with his teeth in a light bite.

Who’s the cat here?

As his fingers traced up her chin, she lifted her head, and when it reached the perfect angle for a kiss, he asked—

‘Your name?’

Thump!

Retina jolted awake, startled by the dream she’d just had, and sat bolt upright, kicking off the blanket. She ran both hands through her hair—carefully brushed by Lina the night before—and let out a silent scream.

“Why! Why, why did I have to dream that today of all days?!”

Am I… lonely? Is that it?

Her empty gaze drifted into the air. The dream had dragged up memories from that night so vividly that it felt like she had returned to that moment.

I-It’s just because I saw too much nonsense yesterday. That’s all. It’s not because I miss him.

She hugged a pillow tightly. It was only because she’d not only danced with the Crown Prince but had witnessed all sorts of scandalous scenes afterward. That’s the only reason he showed up in her dream—because that night had been her first. Everyone said first experiences stuck in your memory. If she slept with other men, surely…

“As if I’d sleep with anyone else!”

She threw the pillow she’d been holding, fuming. If only she’d been as drunk as he was and her memory of that night had blurred. Instead, she’d been just tipsy enough to remember everything vividly.

“Young Lady? Are you awake?”

Lina’s voice cut through Retina’s tantrum. “Young Master Sart said you’d be tired and shouldn’t be disturbed too early, but you’re up already!”

Lina drew the curtains and opened the windows to air out the stuffy room. Clapping her hands briskly, she pulled Retina out of bed.

“Come on, my lady! If you’re awake, let’s get ready!”

“Ready…?”

“You’re going to the Imperial Ball as His Highness the Crown Prince’s partner! The young lady who always insisted on living quietly in the countryside is finally… sniff…! All right, all the more reason I can’t just sit back. Leave the ball preparations to me!

Lina pumped her fist with dramatic resolve, her eyes shining with determination.

“Dress…? I was just going to wear something from home.”

“What? No way! It’s been two years since you’ve been back, so all your dresses are two years out of fashion! The first and second young masters already said this is the perfect opportunity to have a new dress made!”

Hands on her hips, Lina blocked Retina’s path as she tried to retreat.

“I could just alter one of my old dresses—”

“The debutante dress? Absolutely not!”

Under Lina’s piercing gaze, Retina shrank her neck. There was no excuse that would work this time.

“I haven’t even given a definite answer yet, and they’re already making a dress?”

“Huh? But everyone already knows you’re going as His Highness’s partner!”

“What??”

“At the party yesterday, several young ladies asked His Highness to be their partner, but he turned them all down, saying, ‘I already have a partner.’ And since he danced only with you and left, it’s basically set in stone.”

Retina recalled the Crown Prince’s behavior last night. He had laid the bait perfectly and was just waiting for her to take it.

I was supposed to avoid him… how did it end up like this?

She crouched down, holding her head. She should have refused to the end. Instead of quietly finishing her debutante season, she had stirred up something much bigger.

No. Sometimes the best place to hide is right under the lamp. If I stay close, he won’t suspect I’m the one he’s looking for. There’s no way he can tell unless he unmasks me himself.

Once the debutante season was over, she’d quietly slip back to the countryside. Then the Crown Prince would give up. He wasn’t exactly the romantic type—why was he even chasing a one-night partner?

Unless… it’s because I ditched him that night, and he’s out for payback.

Even so, the most important thing was not to let him find out who she really was.

I just have to hold out until the debutante ball.

If she could keep the secret until the deadline she promised her father, everything would pass quietly. Grumbling under Lina’s relentless urging, Retina finally started moving. When Lina had made up her mind, resistance was useless—doing as she said was the fastest way to get through it.


“Where are we going?”

“To a good place, of course!”

“A good place? In the center of Reblem?”

“Yes, yes, you’ll see when we get there.”

Lina dragged Retina, who was peering nervously out of the carriage. With a solemn flourish, Lina stepped out and threw her arms wide toward the sky.

“This is the Reblem shopping district! It’s been around for a while now, but you’ve never been, right? The young masters would never come to a place like this, and you only visit the capital once a year at most, so… I’ve been dying to come here with you!”

Following Lina’s shining gaze, Retina looked out over the lively street. Reblem’s shopping district was lined with dress boutiques, jewelry stores, and hair salons—currently the most fashionable hotspot in high society.

Instead of calling tailors to the estate for custom-made dresses, the trend had shifted to buying ready-to-wear styles and altering them to fit. This variety was what made the area so popular.

Early in the morning, the street was already packed with noblewomen visiting salons. Retina sighed and followed Lina into the first shop.

“Welcome, lovely young lady! What may I assist you with today?”

“A dress…”

“Ah-ha! Here to pick a dress for the Imperial Ball, aren’t you? Oh, our very, very pretty and cuuute ladies have all been fretting about that lately! But don’t worry—not at all! No problem! With me, Ponfarian, the best dress for the ball is guaranteed!”

The man introducing himself as Ponfarian had short pink hair, a frilly shirt, and pants pulled high to his waist—his appearance alone was far from ordinary.

Wow, what a character.

Anyone could tell he was a designer even from a distance. His salon, like his look, was uniquely decorated—not tacky, but stylishly eccentric.

“Come, come! This way! We don’t have much time. The quick ladies have already reserved most of the best dresses for the ball!”

Ponfarian waved his finger dramatically and hurried Retina to the mirror. He measured her quickly, then brought out several dresses and held them up against her.

“My lady, how is your figure so perfectly balanced? It’s almost unfair. You’d look gorgeous in anything! What’s your taste? Mermaid lines? The trendy bustle style? Or you can’t go wrong with a classic bell line for that princess feel—nipped waist, flowing wide hem!”

Holding up fabrics and dresses, Ponfarian began enthusiastically matching styles to her. Even though they were ready-to-wear, they could be customized quickly, making them a faster alternative to bespoke dresses.

“Of course, if your partner for the ball is, well, special, you can go a little bolder with the neckline. These days, self-appeal is the key to survival, you know~”

Blushing more than Retina, Ponfarian sniffled shyly as he made his suggestions. His salon had hosted many noblewomen, mostly young ladies aiming to catch the eyes of aristocratic men at parties.

Lina hadn’t exaggerated—this was indeed Reblem’s No.1 salon. Retina could feel why it was so popular just by looking in the mirror at the bustling scene behind her.

“Hmmm, what about your hair? If you want to keep it simple, an elegant bun with some pins would look lovely.”

“My hair… I’d rather not touch it.”

“Oh! My apologies. I almost forgot—it must have been done with great care by your dresser. I won’t interfere, then. Let’s match the color instead. Blue tones would suit you nicely… ah, a pity, but your fair skin still makes it work beautifully.”

Ponfarian withdrew his hand delicately. He hadn’t said it aloud, but Retina understood—he thought her hair color was a bit lacking.

Not that she cared. The dark brown wig she wore wasn’t her real hair; she only used it because it was easy to find.

“Yeah… that poop-brown color is pretty awful,” came a sharp, sneering voice from behind.

Ponfarian paled instantly, though he hadn’t been the one to say it.

Status: Ongoing Type: Author: Artist: Native Language: Korean
“So, how does it feel to have stolen the first night of the Crown Prince?” Retina Cecilia. She was the youngest daughter of the duke, yet to make her debut at the age of twenty-two. Living a tranquil life was her goal, but at a party where she took her first step into high society, she ended up assigned to the same room as a man, thanks to some lady’s prank. With a secret that should not be revealed to others, Retina decides to get the man drunk with the purpose of disrupting his memory. “Just focus on me in bed,” she tells him. Clearly, she intended to sneak away from the intoxicated man, but somehow, they ended up in the same bed. ‘Oh, this is bad,’ she thought. Retina, who didn’t want to be involved with the man, fled as soon as morning came, leaving the sleeping man behind. They both tried to forget each other as a one-night mistake that neither remembered. “You know, the Crown Prince is looking for the woman who spent a passionate night with him and then ran away.” Oh, right. They say he shared his love all night, and when she woke up, she was lying naked in bed… Ugh.” But why is he looking for me if he doesn’t even remember me?
