There was a moment of silence that followed as everyone was surprised by this sudden move by Baroness Rose.
But after that moment of silence, I patted her on the back without saying a thing.
That was because I was filled with guilt at this moment…
She most likely misunderstood why I took the locket in the first place…
After all, I didn't take it because I noticed the curse on it, I didn't take it because it was a demon item, I simply took it because…I had been jealous. I didn't think that the Lord Baron deserved to keep this item because of the way that he treated his wife, the woman who I had already taken as my own.
The two of us stayed there like that for a bit before Baroness Rose slowly moved away.
As she moved away, she was wiping away the few bits of tears that were left.
I was about to move forward to wipe them for her, but before I could, Cecilia came forward to take Baroness Rose away from me. The look on her face made it clear that it was her turn to comfort her.
