Ruan Tang looked at him in surprise. Unexpectedly, he didnāt go crazy.
The whole breakfast process was that what Ruan Tang ate, Austin followed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.
Ruan Tang almost felt that the legendary Bluebeard Duke was not so crazy, and was very normal quite a few times.
And it was clear that Ruan Tang was not the only one who thought so, Butler Andre also thought soā¦ā¦
Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious and Ruan Tang and Austin were getting along nicely; He, who happened to be standing beside Ruan Tang, immediately glanced at Ruan Tang several times, trying to hint with his eyes that Ruan Tang should make advances towards Austin.
Over the years, as Austin became more and more ill, his temper grewā¦ā¦.
It was rare for him to have such a good mood like this, in his opinion this was the best opportunity for Ruan Tang to please Austin.
Ruan Tang immediately received Butler Andreās hint and understood what he meant.
In fact, Ruan Tang sincerely did not want to ruin this still perfect breakfast for him, but he happened to know that Butler Andre was one of the Empressās peopleā¦..
Although Andre was only a butler and he was a duchessā¦ā¦. But as the Empressās eyes, he had more power than the duchess who was just a tool without anyoneās protection.
Ruan Tang had to listen to the butlerās intentions, who conveyed the order on behalf of the Empress. He had to at least show goodwill towards Duke Austin on the surface.
Thinking of this, Ruan Tang suddenly lost his appetite and didnāt want to eat any more, no matter how delicious the breakfast wasā¦ā¦
Seeing that Ruan Tang was not moving, the butler immediately looked at him a few more times and urged him with his eyes.
āMy Lordā¦ā¦ā Ruan Tang put down his chopsticks, being driven to do something beyond his abilities1, and was about to say something to get close to Austin.
āWhat are you looking at? Who let you look?ā Just then, Austin, who seemed very normal just now, snapped. He directly picked up the tableware and threw it to Ruan Tangās side, where the butler was standing; His tone abruptly changed, eerie and terrifying, āIf you look again, Iāll gouge out your eyes!ā
āBangāāā The sound of the tableware breaking suddenly rang.
Ruan Tang was immediately dumbfounded, āā¦ā¦ā
The butlerās complexion changed right away, knowing that he was guilty of having violated Austinās taboo. Because Ausinās temper had been good recently, he had forgotten how he usually was. His face showed fear, even his body could not help trembling, āSir, Iā¦ā¦ā
The other servants who stood by the side saw the butler like this, and their faces also showed a look of fear. They unconsciously held their breath, shivering with fear, but still forcing themselves to be calm.
Ruan Tang had stayed at the Dukeās residence for several days, and at last witnessed the Dukeās moodiness and unpredictability firsthand. He finally understood the fear of everyone in the Dukeās mansion and the lingering gloomy, repressive atmosphere throughout the entire residence.
Looking at such an Austin, Ruan Tang decided to withdraw his sympathy for him from a few days ago; although they were both wretched people at the mercy of fate, Austin had the right to vent wantonly against others. Butler Andre was the Empressās person, but in front of this madman, he could only be at his disposal.
But he could only be controlled by others, constantly adjusting his mentality and forcing himself to adapt to the world.
āSir, Iām sorry, I didnāt mean to do it, I ask for your forgivenessā¦..ā Butler Andreās face was pale, but at the moment he didnāt defend himself first, and chose to directly admit his mistake and ask for forgiveness.
As the butler, he knows Austinās temper well and knows that it is easier to get his forgiveness when he did something wrong than sophistry.
But this time, Austin was obviously very angry. He glared at the butler full of hostility, as if he wanted to devour him alive, āOne time is not intentional, but two or three times, do you still want to tell me it was accidental?ā
He clearly saw the butler looking at Ruan Tang several times, which made him unable to eat his meal.
Since this morning, he had felt Ruan Tangās tension. He knew that someone must have put pressure on Ruan Tangā¦ā¦
āSir, Iā¦ā¦ā The butler lost all the blood on his face. He didnāt expect that Austin would care so much about the details today. He didnāt even know how to argue for himself.
Austin, however, did not even look at him and said in a grim tone, āChoose for yourself, ok? Will you dig out your own eyes, or shall I help you!ā
The butler could no longer grasp control over his mind. His whole body trembled, not knowing how to choose, āI..ā¦.ā
The other people were equally pale with fear, and for a while, even the sound of their breathing was inaudible in the large dining room.
Ruan Tang didnāt expect that he would see the bloody and terrifying scene of the legendary Bluebeard Duke digging out someoneās eyes only a few days after he arrived at Duke Austinās house.
āMy Lord, you canāt do this.ā Ruan Tang looked at the trembling butler; before his hand reached his eyes, he finally couldnāt stand it anymore and spoke up.
Although the butler, as the Empressās eyes, had been monitoring him and giving him pressure, Ruan Tang still couldnāt watch such a bloody and violent scene happen before his eyes.
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the dining room, including the butler, looked at him in astonishmentā¦ā¦not expecting him to actually speak up and stop Austin.
They looked at Ruan Tang as if they were looking at a brave warrior who went to die a martyrās death.
With the same look as when he first met him, Austinās eyes, that made peopleās hair stand upright as if there was a viper baring their fangs, turned and stared straight at him, āOh? Why canāt I?ā
āBecause the Empire has imperial laws.ā Ruan Tang withstood the pressure of Austinās temper that could flare up at any moment, and said word by word, āThe laws of the empire emphasize human rights. Although they are your servants, they are also independent individualsā¦..You are in an employment relationship, and the butler is not your belonging. You have no right to dispose of them at will.ā
Recalling Sethās gruesome face; although Ruan Tang had no affection for the butler, he couldnāt bear to watch his eyes get gouged out alive in front of him.
In uttering these words, he held the mindset of if you die, you die; Even if Austinās anger shifted to him, he also had the watch the Empress gave him as protection. Austin couldnāt kill him, which was better than the butler gouging out his eyes alive with such a heroic mood of injustice.
āThey are not my belongings and I have no right to dispose of them at will?ā Austin listened to his words, but it was as if he had heard some kind of joke.

He sneered slightly, and immediately looked at the butler with a grim gaze,āThen, Andre, I will not dispose of you, immediately get out of the Ducal residence!ā
āNow ā you answer me, do you want your eyes or do you want to stay?ā
The butler looked pale; Remembering the pressure put on him by the empress, he immediately replied without hesitation, āIā¦ I will voluntarily dig out my eyes and offer them to Your Excellency2.ā
As the Empressās eyes, he had to stay at the Dukeās residence. Once he leaves, he would be useless to the Empress .
In order to achieve his goal, what does it matter to him to give up a pair of eyes?
Austin was not surprised by his answer. He immediately sneered with boredom after hearing his words,āHeh ~ā
It was like mocking Ruan Tang.
āThen you canāt do that!ā Ruan Tang had nothing to say and could only continue to assert himself, āNo one has the right to turn a normal person into a disabled person3, that is a very sick act.ā
Since everyone was used to this madman, no one told him that his behavior was wrongāā
Then let him tell.
If such a thing had not happened right in front of him, it would have been better, but it happened in front of his eyes; out of his own conscience, Ruan Tang felt that he could not ignore it.
āI donāt want him to become disabled.ā Austin didnāt seem to have the slightest intention of angering Ruan Tang, but only said very naturally,āLater, no matter how he gouges out his eyes, I will put them back on him as they were, and use the best medical technology to cure him, to ensure that they are exactly the same as before they were gouged out.ā
Since such eyesores go to great lengths to stay by his side in order to provide information to others, he will let them stay.
However, similarly, they must be punished and pay a price.
The butler was relieved to hear Austin promise to put his eyes back as they were, without him going blind, and his fingers began to gather strength. He was ready to dig out his eyes raw in front of Austin for him to see, so as to satisfy the violent streak in the Dukeās bones.
However, Ruan Tang still frowned deeply in disagreement, and wanted to speak but seeing the two of them willing, he didnāt know how to persuade him, āButā¦ā¦ā
He finally understood that the Duke of Austin didnāt like the people around him to become disabled, but enjoyed the bloody and violent process.
He averted his eyes and stopped looking at the butler and Austin, feeling some nausea rise in the pit of his stomach.
Austin looked at Ruan Tangās frowing face through the mask, pondering for a while before suddenly asking, āDo you feel scared because you donāt want to see such a scene?ā
He suddenly remembered that Ruan Tang had told him he hated the sight of blood.
Another reminder on how kind this Omega was.
āYes, I donāt want to see such a scene.ā Ruan Tang endured great pressure, paused for a moment, and finally chose to smash the pot4, āI feel very disgusted, it makes me sick to my stomachā¦..ā
If Austin didnāt ask him, he wouldnāt say, but since Austin asked, he decided to tell the truthā¦ā¦
Even if Austin was angry, he couldnāt do anything about it.
ā¦..Although he knew who Austin was long before he got married, and was ready to stay alone in the bedroom out of sight, but if this sort of thing happened in front of him from time to time, Ruan Tang still felt that he couldnāt stand it and didnāt want to force himself to adapt and get used to it.
Anyway, heās newly married now, and Austin canāt kill him, period.
āIn that case, you donāt need to dig out your eyes. Get lost.ā Austin watched Ruan Tangās brow furrowed in a very unbearable manner, and immediately waved his hand at the butler impatiently and ordered.
It was a small matter to dispose of people, and he does not want Ruan Tang to be unable to eat because of this.
