Chapter 51

Roxanne fell silent the moment she heard Killian’s words. Her chest tightened instantly, as though his voice had dragged an old wound back to the surface, a wound she had spent so long trying to ignore.Because both in her previous life and this one, that rejection had truly happened.And apparently, Killian had never forgotten it.Roxanne’s gaze wavered slightly before she looked away. Yet Killian continued watching her calmly, as though he was genuinely trying to understand something from her reaction.Several seconds later, he spoke again in a low, even voice.“Didn’t you have a lover?”Roxanne immediately looked back at him, her eyes widening slightly in surprise.“What?”His crimson gaze remained steady as he answered quietly,“That guard of yours.”Her heartbeat instantly quickened.Henry.The name surfaced in her mind without warning.Roxanne quickly replied, “He was only my guard.” Her fingers unconsciously tightened against her lap. “He was never my lover.”Killian did not an

Roxanne froze instantly. Her eyes widened slightly as she stared at Killian, as though she was no longer certain she had heard him correctly.“What?”But Killian did not look like he was joking at all. His crimson gaze remained steady and calm as he replied flatly,“I don’t repeat myself.”Roxanne’s heartbeat immediately became uneven. Because the tone of his voice sounded far too serious to be dismissed as a joke.She stared at him for several seconds before finally speaking in a quiet, disbelieving voice.“Why would you say something like that?”Killian did not answer right away. He simply leaned back slightly before finally speaking in a low, steady tone.“Because you’re my wife.”That simple sentence instantly stole Roxanne’s words away.She could only stare at him silently while the chaos inside her chest grew worse.Because once again, this man was saying things in such a calm tone as though everything he said was completely natural.As though she truly belonged beside him.Roxa

Chapter 53

Roxanne’s face grew even hotter hearing that answer.“Who was looking at you?”Killian stared at her for a few moments without blinking before slowly moving a little closer.“If you weren’t looking at me,” he said calmly, “then what were you doing all this time?”Roxanne instantly lost her answer. Because it was true.She had been staring at Killian for far too long without even realizing it herself. And the fact that he had noticed everything only made her feel even more embarrassed now.Killian watched the tips of Roxanne’s ears gradually turning red before the corner of his lips lifted slightly.“Are you embarrassed?”Roxanne immediately turned back toward him and glared at him in annoyance.“I’m not embarrassed.”Killian slowly raised one eyebrow. His expression remained calm, but Roxanne could faintly see amusement hidden beneath that cold face of his.“Then look at me again.”Roxanne truly wanted to throw a pillow at his face right now. But at the same time, her heartbeat only b

Roxanne actually wanted to snap back at that annoying remark. But before she could say anything, Killian had already walked out of the room without another word.Leaving Roxanne biting her lip in irritation as she stared at the closed door.Seriously annoying. How could that man say something so embarrassing with such a calm face?In the end, Roxanne got out of bed and prepared herself with Orla and several maids. Today they would be going to the imperial palace, so Orla helped her choose a dress that was far more luxurious than usual.And as always, Roxanne picked the dress she liked the most.A dark red gown made of soft fabric that wrapped beautifully around her body. The design was elegant, but the neckline dipped slightly lower than what noblewomen usually wore. It was not overly revealing, but enough to catch anyone’s attention.Roxanne had always preferred dresses like this.Because they made her look far more alive compared to the dull, overly modest gowns other noblewomen wor

Chapter 55

Throughout the journey to the imperial palace, the atmosphere inside the carriage remained painfully quiet.Roxanne sat near the window, staring outside without truly paying attention to the capital’s streets passing by. Her hands rested neatly on her lap while her beautiful face still looked cold after the incident with the dress earlier.Across from her, Killian sat calmly, quietly watching Roxanne from time to time. But as usual, the man did not immediately say anything.Only the sound of carriage wheels and horses’ hooves filled the silence between them.After a while, Killian finally spoke in a low voice.“You’re unhappy about changing the way you dress?”Roxanne did not answer. She did not even turn her head slightly. Her gaze remained fixed on the window as though Killian did not exist inside the carriage at all.Still, Killian continued calmly,“No matter what, you’re my wife.” His red eyes lingered on Roxanne for a few seconds. “I don’t want other people looking at you like t

Chapter 56

Several nobles immediately looked even more interested after hearing that.Because having lunch with the imperial family was not something granted to just anyone. The fact that the Emperor personally invited Duke Lunnart only made Roxanne’s position as the new Duchess attract even more attention from everyone in the hall.“Your Majesty,” Killian said calmly, “I still have matters that require my attention.”His red gaze remained fixed straight ahead.“So I cannot have lunch with you today.”The entire hall instantly fell silent. Several nobles even widened their eyes in shock after hearing such a refusal.Because this was the imperial palace, and the one ext

Chapter 57

Stefanie spoke again while looking at Killian with eyes full of emotion.“What am I supposed to do now?” Her eyes looked slightly red. “I took care of this household for years. I raised you and Sebastian together with your father…”Her voice slowly weakened.“And now this is what I get in return?”Sebastian looked uncomfortable hearing his mother speak like that in front of so many people. Stefanie seemed too angry and disappointed to care about anything else anymore.Meanwhile, Roxanne quietly watched Killian from the side. Because she knew that even though Killian was not particularly close to his father, he still respected his family deeply.And now Roxanne was truly curious about how Killian would handle this situatio

Chapter 58

The atmosphere in front of the castle had completely frozen. Because no one had expected Roxanne to say something like that.Even Stefanie looked slightly stunned now, while Sebastian raised an eyebrow as though he had suddenly become interested in Roxanne’s change in attitude.As for Killian, he simply stood there silently staring at Roxanne for a long moment.Roxanne could still feel Stefanie’s gaze filled with hatred even though the woman tried to hide it behind a calm expression.But Roxanne only smiled faintly, as though she was not bothered in the slightest. Then she turned toward Albert, who had been standing quietly a few steps behind them the entire time.“Albert,” she said softly, “please prepare the best rooms for Mother and Sebastian.”

Chapter 59

Roxanne immediately held her breath.The man’s voice sounded far too dangerous.And even worse, Killian sounded like he was restraining himself now.Roxanne slowly lifted her gaze and looked at the man standing in front of her. Killian’s black hair was slightly messy, while his eyes remained locked onto her without looking away for even a second.For the first time, Roxanne truly realized something.Killian could appear perfectly calm on the outside.But the moment he lost even a little control, his entire presence turned into something genuinely frightening.Killian’s large hand was still gripping Roxanne’s waist tightly, as though he had no intention of letting her go anytime soon.Meanwhile, Roxanne tried to steady her uneven breathing.“You…” Roxanne spoke softly, though even her own voice sounded unstable. “This is your study.”Killian did not answer immediately.His gaze slowly lowered to Roxanne’s lips, still slightly red from their kiss.Then, without loosening his hold around

Chapter 60

However, the man showed absolutely no intention of putting her down.Calmly, Killian walked toward the study door and opened it without hesitation. The moment he stepped outside, his movements paused briefly.Because several servants were still standing in the corridor.The entire atmosphere froze instantly.Everyone’s eyes widened the moment they saw Duke Lunnart carrying Roxanne in his arms while she was wrapped in nothing but his large black robe.A few of the maids immediately lowered their heads with flushed faces, while the others desperately tried to pretend they saw nothing at all.Roxanne herself stiffened in embarrassment. Especially because she could clearly feel the servants secretly staring at them.And even worse Killian looked completely unconcerned.The man simply continued walking calmly through the mansion corridor while holding Roxanne securely in his arms.As if this entire scene was perfectly normal.Meanwhile, Roxanne could only lower her face in silence, wishing
