No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Carl's Downfall
“It was precisely from Father that I learned to be a demon.”Carl's sentence sent a shiver down the Baron's spine. From the darkness of the room, he could see that the nephew he had once held in his arms and taught political science to had grown into a terrifying figure.“What do you mean?” the Baron replied in disbelief.“Oh, you didn't know, Uncle? Because of Father, Mother suffered, and I had to endure the shame. Because of a man who couldn't control his lust, I had to share my inheritance with a bastard child. How humiliating it was to share the Sirius name with Roselyn.”“It was not her fault for being born into the world that way, Carl.”“Exactly! That is why I blame
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Cheese in the Trap
Night slowly crept over the Baron's residence, which stood quietly on the outskirts of the domain. Drizzle dampening the old roof tiles refracted the moonlight into a thin haze.The bone-chilling air seeped through the gap of the balcony window, which had been intentionally left slightly open. A gust of night wind made the grey silk curtains inside the room sway gently.“He will come. Calm yourself,” he muttered to himself while waiting.The Baron sat alone in a rocking chair, facing directly toward the pitch-black balcony door.There was only a small candle lit on the wooden table beside him. Its flame flickered rapidly, nearly extinguishing every time the wind snuck in, carrying mist from the rain.
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Venomous Words
The dining room of the Baron's residence remained bound in a suffocating silence. The plates of food were left to grow cold and untouched, while spilled tea slowly seeped into the crevices of the marble floor, forming a dark pool that no one bothered to clean.The Baron was still kneeling on the floor, his shoulders shaking violently without end. His chest was now weighed down by a crushing sense of guilt.Kaelus looked down at the old man without a shred of pity. His eyes swept over the servants and guards standing nervously along the perimeter of the room."Everyone out," Kaelus ordered coldly. His voice was not loud, but it was steeped in threat. "Leave us. Let no one dare draw near or eavesdrop if you still value your life."The servants and guards hurriedly bowed, stepping backward in a rush to vacate the room. The heavy, carved wooden door finally swung shut, leaving behind only the echoing rustle of fabric and heavy sighs."My husband," the Baroness called, placing a hand on th
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke A Heart That Still Holds a Conscience
Baron Adrienne held his breath tightly as his fingers stroked the tiny glass bottle slipped behind his belt.Every tick of the wall clock in the room echoed like the swing of an axe drawing closer to his neck. He had been forced to surrender his conscience to a demon ever since Carl’s dagger grazed his abdomen last night.Before stepping out into the dim corridor, he stole a brief glance toward the canopied bed. The Baroness was still fast asleep, completely motionless—proof that Carl had indeed mixed a sleeping potion into her drink."Forgive me... I have to fix this," the Baron whispered, closing the bedroom door as silently as possible.His footsteps faltered with hesitation as he navigated the deserted hallways wrapped in dim shadows. Thoughts of the unborn child in his favorite young maid's womb clashed sharply against Roselyn’s warm smile.At the corridor intersection leading to the lower wing, the Baron abruptly stopped in his tracks. He hurried to press himself behind a pillar
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke The Baron Carrying Fear
Chapter 133: The Baron Carrying FearFear always knows how to steal the peace of the night from a soul harboring sin. Atop a grand bed, Baron Adrienne lay stiffly, listening to the ticking wall clock that grew increasingly oppressive.Beside him, his wife slept soundly with soft snores. Yet for the Baron, that peaceful breathing only weighed heavier on his chest, sharpening the solitude squeezing the night.“How can I actually escape this situation?” he muttered to no response.Amidst the anxiety, his throat suddenly felt bone-dry, making it all the harder to close his eyes."Calm down," the Baron whispered into the room's silence, his voice stifled deep in his throat. "It's just a long night that will pass soon."He reached for the long bell string beside the bed and pulled it. Yet, no one came.The roaring wind outside the mansion seemed to drown everything out. Left with no choice, the Baron slowly sat up from beneath the heavy blanket pressing down on his body.He moved as silentl
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke The Baron's Concubine
Baron’s favourite girl turned her steps into a narrow alley between two closed shops, leaning against the brick wall, clutching her rapidly heaving chest."Calm down," she whispered to herself. "Calm down."Her hands trembled as she reached into her skirt pocket, ensuring the small letter was still there. The reply letter from the robed man, containing the new address where her family was being "guarded."She closed her eyes briefly. The image of her mother's face appeared out of nowhere—the way her mother combed her hair every morning before she left for work at the mansion, the way her mother always said, "Be careful, child. Don't mess with the people above."It was too late for that now.She had already messed around. She had opened the mansion's back gate for those robed men three nights ago, receiving a pouch of silver coins far greater than her yearly wage, and promising to stay quiet.She thought it would be that simple. Stay quiet, get money, keep her family safe.She did not
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke The Forsaken Sanctity
"Prove your love, Lady. Try serving me tonight."The voice was soft, yet it carried no melody—only the toll of a death knell.Roselyn remained motionless on the cold marble, letting her knees go numb. Her dignity as the sole daughter of Count Sirius had long been cast aside. All that remained was a
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Warm Snow
A stifling silence enveloped the balcony, broken only by the sound of Roselyn’s ragged, fractured breaths. Before her, Kaelus stood motionless, like an ice sculpture untouched by time.Roselyn lowered her head, trying to steady her racing heart. "Forgive me for forcing you to witness such a shamefu
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke Just For A Moment
Three days of confinement were enough for the bruises on Roselyn’s body to fade from a deep purple to a dull yellow. Thanks to the Elysium from her uncle, the wound on her forehead had dwindled to a thin red line.Vogard personally ensured that the mark was buried under layers of powder before drag
No Longer Your Puppet, Duke The Bruises of Betrayal
Roselyn ran out without looking back. The night chill pierced her skin, shielded only by a thin gown, but it was nothing compared to the frantic hammering of her heart. It throbbed between anxiety and a strange sense of satisfaction for having just trampled on the Duke’s ego.The four-hour journey
