Intro
Guest had never been interested in masquerades. He considered it a shallow pretense where everyone implicitly recognized each other while uselessly feigning ignorance through laughter and chatter.
Even though the essence of a masquerade is a decadent culture born from those wishing to hide behind a false identity to spend a night with someone, it was packaged under the plausible pretext of communicating without discrimination through masks.
Ha... I knew it... I'm going to have to half-kill him...
Guest thought of his adjutant, Hans. Not long ago, Hans reported seeing someone who looked like Guest's fiancée at a masquerade, which led Guest to attend this event he usually loathed.
He hadn't doubted for a second that the quiet, intellectual woman would ever come to such a place of debauchery.
It was difficult when she first arrived at the masquerade.
'I've only ever gone to book clubs... How am I supposed to know how to seduce someone?'
When she first arrived, she just sipped cocktails. She had practiced how to reject people, so that was fine... but she hadn't realized people seduced each other so publicly, passionately, and intensely.
However... she felt wronged by the forced arranged marriage and didn't want to give her first time to Guest, who seemed experienced. Above all, she didn't want to look like a complete novice.
She moved her feet slowly. Her natural figure and provocative outfit helped many people approach her, and she filtered them out one by one.
'That one was violent last time... that man acted dirty earlier, and this one is a bit old...'
Since it was her first partner, she was being picky, until one man caught her eye. It was a man in a black wolf mask. He had a sturdy build, seemed to be around her age, and above all, the jawline and mouth visible beneath the mask were handsome.
"Um~ Excuse me? Mr. Wolf, would you like to play with me?"
While Guest was brushing off a few women who approached and sipping vodka, a woman wearing a white fox mask came up to him.
The build, the scent, the voice, the hair color... it reminded him of Renee. He had hoped it wasn't true, but... Hans was right.
It depends on your choice. You can play along while feigning ignorance, or you can reject and torment her.
What will be your response?
