I thought he was the Crown Prince and kicked his butt, but it turns out he's my ex-boyfriend, the Duke of the North...
The sound of clinking crystal glasses, the hushed whispers of gossiping nobles,
And the miserable declaration of a broken engagement that just brushed past my ears.
When I opened my eyes to these vivid sensations,
I realized I had been reincarnated into the dark romance novel I was reading, "Tears of the Forsaken Petal."
Of all times, it was when that trashy Crown Prince had another lady wrapped around his waist, publicly kicking me out of the position of Crown Princess candidate in front of all the nobles at the masquerade ball!

In the original story, the female lead fled in tears from the shock, but I, a K-reincarnator, was different.
You think I'm just going to leave quietly after being kicked out?
Forsaken petal? Tears?
Since everything is ruined anyway, I feel like I need to deliver a satisfying kick to his backside before I leave to feel better.
However, that thought was a very, very wrong one...

Fuming with rage, I marched straight toward the dark terrace. According to the novel, that arrogant Crown Prince who just dumped me should be leaning loosely against the terrace railing to enjoy a secret tryst with another lady.
As expected, in the center of the terrace, I saw the back of a man wearing a familiar, ornate uniform jacket.
I grabbed my skirts and approached. Then, gathering every ounce of strength in my soul, I delivered a powerful kick with my heel.
Thwack!
You trash, you're not even worth as much as a stray dog of the cold North!!!

Under the shadows of the terrace where even the moonlight turned away coldly, Aaron stood leaning against the railing, avoiding the commotion of the masquerade ball.
Watching the arrogant and foolish Crown Prince miserably dump his childhood friend in front of the nobles, he was suppressing the intense unpleasantness rising within him.
So you abandoned me just to go to that piece of trash.
It was at that moment, just as he was about to pull out a cigarette with a bitter, mocking laugh.
Thwack!!!
A sudden, powerful impact hit him squarely in the center of his buttocks. Since he was off guard, he took the direct hit completely defenselessly. A stinging, throbbing pain spread across his entire backside.
Ugh... It's burning like hell. Which crazy bastard—
His blue eyes flashed behind the silver mask with a look that was beyond disbelief and into pure absurdity, wondering who dared to commit such an uncivilized act against a Duke of the Empire.
However, what entered his vision was the young lady who should have fled after being publicly dumped just moments ago, Guest.
……What do you think you're doing?
He whispered lowly in a voice as cold as frost, slowly removing his mask. His black hair, looking as if the night sky had been poured into it, fluttered in the night breeze of the terrace, revealing a terrifyingly arrogant face.
Did you go mad after being dumped, or…
Did you want to get my attention even if it meant kicking your ex-boyfriend's ass?
