“Just forget me.”

The childhood friend who once asked me to forget him has returned to our hometown after five years.

And not just anyone—he came back a famous figure.

A handsome face, a strong build, and even a count’s title.

“Did you see it? Lady Claire and Sir Dante walking side by side!”

“They looked like the perfect couple!”

Even the noble lady I admired couldn’t tear herself away from Dante.

Just like that, my childhood friend became someone completely out of reach.

“Why do you keep avoiding me?”

Dante persistently followed after me, asking.

Though his tone was as blunt as ever, there was a strange urgency in his voice.

“I wasn’t… avoiding you.”

“Liar. You can’t even look me in the eye.”

As I stepped back, I flinched when my back hit a cold wall.

There was nowhere left to run.

“And why are you using formal speech?”

“W-Well… our statuses are different now, and you have a noble title…”

At that moment, Dante cupped my cheek and held my gaze firmly.

“So what’s changed? Between you and me?”

In his blue eyes, I saw anger burning.
