Marigold fell into the Yandere's arms

Chapter 7

'I should have never accepted this job.'

Henson never expected that he would end up endangering his life for a salary that was several times greater than anywhere else.

In fact, when signing the work contract, he never expected to face someone as fearsome as the Duke.

Unlike his usual timid demeanor, Henson gave the butler a look of resentment, but was immediately put in his place with one chilling look.

"In case you have forgotten, I would like to remind you that you leave your position until the master dismisses you."

Henson, who was thinking of writing a resignation letter, looked at the butler in surprise.

He should have read the contract more carefully before signing it.

Henson's expression darkened.

"It would be for the best if you rid yourself of any thoughts of running away. The rumors about my master are far more accurate than you can imagine."

"I wouldn't dare have such thoughts! Absolutely, not at all." Henson was visibly trembling as he shook his head desperately.

Seeing this, Seth gave a look of satisfaction.

"I gave the physician a firm warning," Seth reported to Edwin in a curt manner, while under the impression that his actions were not perceived as threatening at all.

Edwin nodded in response, his gaze solely fixed on Angelina.

"Why don't you put Madam in the bed? You must rest as well, Master."

"I am resting."

"Haven't you been skipping your meals?"

"It's fine."

When Edwin raised his head slowly met his gaze, Seth's face crumpled the moment he observed his master's dark circles and bloodshot eyes.

"Leave before I physically remove you myself."

Seth took one last look at Edwin before bowing and quietly leaving the room.

Once he heard the door close, Edwin took a deep breath and buried his face in Angelina's head.

He couldn't calm down or suppress his anger.

Despite the fact that the Raven had been handled swiftly, and Angelina was unharmed, he couldn't subdue the violent rage seething inside of him no matter how hard he tried.

'What is wrong with me? Why do I feel so angry?'

For a moment, his head felt hot, so he took another deep breath.

The madness within him was close to reaching a boiling point until his nose caught the scent of something so tantalizingly sweet, that it left him with a sense of calmness.

"Whoa."

'This is why I can't let you go. I thought I would lose my mind the moment you collapsed'

Edwin gently caressed Angelina's face.

'Why did it feel so awful to see her struggling to breathe while stuck to the guardian tree?'

That wasn't the only thing.

The moment Angelina's eyes widened in terror in reaction to the Ravens, his mood plummeted and left him feeling so low that it was no different than rolling around in the mud.

'I think it's so cute that her expression resembles a frightened rabbit whenever she looks at me.'

But, it was quite unpleasant to see her terrified of someone other than himself.
