[Part 3] Death Is The Only Ending For The Villain (FOR OFFLINE READING PURPOSE)

Soon the food was removed and tea and refreshments and melon sherbet came up on the table.

Unlike before when I had no appetite, when I saw the light green color, I immediately drooled.

I dragged the melon sherbet and began to scoop it up.

Soon after, the bottom of the crystal bowl was exposed to the spoon, and it started to make a clicking sound.

"In the capital..."

The Duke coughed in vain and opened his mouth, as if he could not bear the silence anymore.

"Are you all back now?"

Only then did I come to my senses.

When I raised my head, the Duke was staring at me with a strangely pleased look.

"Should I ask for more?"

"Oh, no!"

Crazy, where do you think you are? I also lost sight of Melon Sherbet. (?)

My face warmed with embarrassment, so I quickly answered the Duke's question.

"Yes, I'm back completely."

Then suddenly the duke's face became blurred.

"As soon as you got back, you're getting married...."

"....."

"Do you need to get it done so quickly?"

When asked in a concerned voice, I looked back at the duke with a little unfamiliar eyes.

Back then, from the declaration of marriage to marriage five years ago, the duke was informed of it all.

I haven't had much thought about telling the Eckart people about me since I got married.

Therefore, my news to Eckarts were only what Callisto announced in the Emperor's palace.

The last time I came to the duchy under the pretext of bringing things, it was purely an act of courtesy.

In the mean time, thanks to the Eckart's full support and protection, I was able to wander around freely for five years despite my enormous status as the emperor's fiancee.

If only the emperor's dogma had done so, the resistance of his people would have been much greater than now. (?)

That's why I came here to thank you...

'So you haven't cut all ties after all.'

After kicking out of the room saying 'I can't forgive you', I was actually under the Eckart's protection for five years.

Even if it's not what I wanted.

I was shocked as if I had been hit in the back by this realization.

"Why do you have to marry that son of a... Oh no, I mean, why would you marry his majesty? Huh?"

This was the oil price that I grabbed to have a small luncheon with. (I'm not sure what this means so I just put it like that)

"Why don't you just keep living like you've been? Study what you want to do, explore, research..."

"....."

"If you go all over the world, you might find a much better husband. Why are you so impatient with that crazy, no, that loser, no... Ugh that black bastard!" (As if a man better than Callisto exists)

His blue eyes were still full of worries about me.

It was no longer indifferent to me, and it was not the eyes of someone who rejected me.
