Chapter: SullyI had been imagining this for so long. I had imagined doing so many things when I would meet Kyle again under the circumstances when I could finally take my revenge.Kyle was inside the tent, his men said. They stopped short when they noticed me. Well, they had not seen me in a while. A little surprise was bound to show on their faces.“Is anyone else inside?” I asked.“Yes. It is an alchemist. His name is…”“Leo,” I said. “I know him. Tell Kyle that I want to talk to him. The alchemist can stay though.”My brother’s personal guard bowed to me and went inside the tent. I knew that man. His name was Ezra Walsh. He had been my brother’s personal guard for the last five years. He was bald and tough looking with a scar on his right eye. I had the suspicion that he was blind in that eye, but never knew the truth.“What do you want to talk about with him?” Rezef asked.“Many things. Do you want to see?” I asked.“If you want me to.”“No, it depends on you. You can watch if you want to. But

Chapter: RoseThere were no ships here. Not a single one. I could not even take a carriage either. The roads were blocked.I was out of the estate of House Star, at least. Currently, I was staying at a brothel. I gave some money and some of my pieces of jewelry to the brothel owner and she gave me a place to stay.It was nasty here and I felt disgusted the whole time, but at least, it was safe. Not for long though. At some point, the brothel owner might want to sell me to his nasty customers. I needed to leave soon.I did not know what was going on with the war. I could not care less about that. What I hated about it was the fact that I could not stay at House Star anymore, if there remained a House Star after this in the first place.I hated everything and everyone now at this point. I did not deserve this. I did not deserve any of this.I did not want to born in that family where I had to do things that I did not want to do. I had to learn how to seduce people at a very young age. It was called t

Chapter: DemianSully escaped. Once again. I did not know exactly how she let Rezef Thorn know about her location, but she did do it somehow and that was without my knowledge.That woman was too cunning. She even fooled me.I was pretty sure she was going to use Rezef Thorn to get to Kyle.I had been gone for a long time because of a complication. I needed to defend the estate because part of Jade Star’s men somehow got inside the estate. It had been bloody.My left eye still hurt. There was a cut right under it. One of the men of House Star almost took my eye out.And now Sully was gone. This woman was driving me crazy in all the ways possible.She was now at the camp of Rezef Star. I could not just go there. It was hard to sneak in there. I could get as near as possible, but it would be hard to meet her there.I did not doubt Sully’s loyalty. It lay with me. She did not care about Rezef Thorn romantically. She was just using him to gain her objective.I just hated that she escaped from me again aft

Chapter: Sully“How is Millie?” I asked.Rezef was mostly ignoring me at this point. Well, at least, he was pretending to.“She is okay.”“Treat her nicely, okay? She is a nice girl,” I said. “Do you know Father used to beat her?”Rezef’s face suggested that he had no idea of this incident. Millie did not tell him for sure. It was not like I expected Millie to tell him either. Millie had always acted like she did not deserve anything and kept her thoughts to herself all the time.Their marriage life was not going okay. I knew that from the look on his face. Millie and he were not okay. If they just ended their marriage, then it would be for the best. At least, both of them could find someone new. It would be hard for Millie, but she would get over it. There was no point in suffering when you could get rid of that suffering.Both of them were unhappy in that marriage, I could tell.“Whenever Father was angry, he would take it out on her. We… We always saw but never did anything. I regret it, but what

Chapter: SullyMy plan was simple. I always had the feeling that there was more to the little vacation than Demian let on. That was why- I started to leave trails behind. I kept the window open and threw purple pearls from the window. Demian did not notice because he had been busy trying to keep his legs from cramping and other times, he was massaging my feet.I had to be very cautious so he would not notice. Demian’s eyes were sharp. He noticed everything.That was why I had the feeling that this plan might not work.There were a lot of guessing involved. I was betting on Rezef’s feelings for me on this matter. He had to be the one to find the pearls because only he would recognize them. I had the belief that he was smart enough to know that I would not be at House Silverclaw.Rezef did not disappoint me.Now, I would have to explain everything to him, but that would have to wait for a bit.I told Rezef not to kill the guards that they took captive.We reached their camp on horses.

Chapter: RezefWhen I kicked the door open and entered the room at the top of the tower, I saw her for the first time in a long while. She was just the way I remembered her. Brown skin, curly hair and red eyes. But she now had a scar on her face. Did her husband did that? That bastard!I ran to her and wrapped my arms around her. I did not care about anything else. I needed to feel her. I needed to know she was real.My men were watching me, but I did not care. All I cared about was her at this moment.“Rezef,” she breathed. “I thought you wouldn’t find me.”“You left those signs for me to find. How could I not?” I said, pulling back from the hug. That was when I noticed what she was wearing. I averted my eyes from her barely covered body.She did not seem to feel any shame as she threw away the cover and got down from the bed. There was a cuff around her ankle attacked to a chain.“Can you do something about it?” she asked.I told all my men to get out. They did not need to see her like this for lo

Chapter: Chapter SixDuke Alexander eyed Alessandra suspiciously who just beamed innocently at him. But it did not fool him. Since the moment he met her, he had known the manipulative soul lay behind her innocent smile. “The duke and duchess of Terrence duchy were murdered,” Alexander said with a smile. “Since the young duchess is comparing the two incidents, I am even more curious as to what happened to the Maximillan duchess and her family.” “Humans are like that after all. They are curious,” Alessandra said, unmoving. “But I guess I was wrong about something. Since the duke can be curious, he must be a human, right? Please accept my apologies for misunderstanding. I was just misunderstanding the duke based on the unfortunate incident that transpired two years ago.” What? Did you think I will fall for your words so easily? I have more experience than you. Don’t underestimate the brain of an almost thirty six years old! He took a deep breath as if he was trying to control himself. Alessandra chuckle

Chapter: Chapter Five“Ugh, it feels like I’m locked up,” Alessandra muttered as she bit her nails, sitting on the bed in her room at the Terrence duchy residence. The room was lavish and beautiful, just as her room in the Maximillan duchy residence. “Even though I am locked up like this, perhaps it won’t be too bad. After all, Alessandro has to do all my work today, haha. He won’t be able to rest at all.” “My lady, please quit laughing by yourself. It’s creepy,” Matt said. He had come to the young duchess’s room after washing up. “We’re locked up, my lady. Please do something.” “Why would I? I don’t have to work today,” she grinned. “And besides, I have a feeling that the food here will be good. The taste of the macarons is still on my tongue. It was too good.” “Well, the macarons were truly good,” he agreed as he leaned against the window frame and looked outside. “The storm hasn’t calmed down at all.” “It won’t,” she said. “At least, it will go on for a day.” “I can sense magic,” Matt said. “It’s

Chapter: Chapter FourDuke Alexander was known for his sharp tongue. Surprisingly, he was being gentle with Alessandra. She suspected it was because he wanted to marry her. Even so, Alexander was pretty honest. “I see,” she nodded. “As the duke can see, my fiancé is pretty reluctant to annul our engagement. It is an obstacle for the duke and me to get married.” “If the young duchess wants, I can take care of the matter,” he said. “The duke can easily give permission, I understand. Even if the duke doesn’t care about his image, I do greatly and if Lord Hayden’s and my engagement is annulled this way, I will be labeled as a whore, which is not a pleasant thing to be called. Given the duke’s brother’s personality, which the duke is perfectly aware of, he will spread rumors about me cheating on him. Since I am a woman, due to peoples’ strange understanding, my image will go down even though Lord Hayden was the one who was cheating on his fiancé openly,” she said. “I guess I can think the duke understands

Chapter: Chapter Three“Ah, Duke Alexander is also here,” Alessandra said as she glanced at the duke who was standing behind her. “The heir of the North Maximillan duchy greets you.” “It is indeed good to see you, Young Duchess,” Alexander said while glancing at Hayden, who was surprised to see them talking casually even though it was the first time the young duchess visited the Terrence duchy. “Is the young duchess here to spend time with her fiancé? If so, then I will gladly leave you two alone.” “No need, Duke Alexander,” she said. “It will be great if the duke is present as well, since it will need the duke’s permission.” “What is it, Alessandra?” Hayden asked. “I don’t think we need to talk about anything that requires the duke’s present.” “Lord Hayden, please button your shirt properly before talking,” Alessandra said. “Or do you need my guard to help you?” “My hand is working perfectly fine,” Hayden grumbled. “No need to help.” “Oh, is that so?” Alessandra muttered. “I thought your hand might b

Chapter: Chapter Two"My lord, are you going to marry the young duchess for real?" Cornelius asked.Duke Alexander was sitting in his chair in his office as always, while the butler, Cornelius, was giving him updates."I wanted to marry her in the first place. I just placed the contract so she would annul her engagement to marry me. But who knew she was planning on annulling her engagement in the first place?" Alexander smirked. "She is the only one I can think of marrying. Unlike other noblewomen, the young duchess is a truly admirable person, I have to admit. Even I was forced to admire her.""I heard a lot about the young duchess though I have not seen her myself," Cornelius said. "She holds a great amount of power in the political world despite her age. It will help you.""Isn't that why I am marrying her?""But what I don't understand is, when did the lord see the young duchess before?""I haven't before," Alexander said. "I just heard about her.
