âHe feels inferior to the duchess, but he doesnât show it. However, heâs secretly uncomfortable and self-conscious.â
Suddenly, the duchess, who wore a contempt expression, opened her mouth. âScarlett Armand.â
The duchess coldly glanced at the duke before saying to Scarlett, âYou said you donât know how to be ashamed. I guess you werenât lying.â
âOh, you know. There was some truth to my words.â
Inwardly, Scarlett was commemorating the horrible first impression she had left on the tyrant.
She knew he mustâve been quite shocked by todayâs events.
âScarlett, if you wanted to take revenge on the person who trampled on your mother, you shouldâve used this method.â
âIâll call a doctor when you return, so keep that in mind,â the duchess coldly said.
âWhat do I need a doctor for?â
âIâm going to let you clear your head.â
âOh, my gosh.â
At that, Scarlett almost cheered.
âImagine how crazy I must have looked! Am I good at acting?â
This was a great success.
âThis is making me excited.â
Scarlett quickly concealed her joy and wore a bored expression.
To make her act extra convincing, she said, âNo way. Do you think the way I express my affection is crazy?â
âYes, Iâm crazy!â
âYou-You were expressing your affection?â
âYes.â
The duchessâs eyes, cold like ice, trembled with embarrassment.
In other words, Scarlett wouldnât stop behaving rashly. Since her actions were an expression of affection, she would do act insane every time she met the tyrant.
Scarlett shyly gazed at the duchess, who seemed to understand the meaning behind her words perfectly.
âI heard His Majesty loves wine, blood, and the color red.â
ââŠâ
With an elated expression, Scarlett opened her eyes and muttered, âIâm his fiance, so I wanted to give him something special for his birthday.â
âS-Special?â The duchess blurted. She shook her head and averted her gaze from Scarlett.
Suddenly, Izar, whoâs gaze was fixated on the window, said, âSo thatâs what it was?â He covered half of his face with his hands.
His voice trembled.
âWhat, are you scared of me, too?â
Scarlett was pleased.
âYes, next timeââ
âNext time?â
An uneasy feeling settled in Scarlettâs stomach.
It felt as though Izar was looking forward to something.

Scarlett was uneasy but said, âIâll adorn myself in flowers from head to toe. Iâm sure heâll love it.â
âUhâŠâ Izar shrugged and said, âYouâll die.â
âNo, he didnât kill me today,â Scarlett calmly answered.
âItâs probably embarrassingâŠâ
âNo way.â
Izar was visibly confused.
âYouâll see,â I assured him, nodding my head in conviction. âHe liked my present. It means I am his true partner.â
âTr-true partner.â
Izarâs face turned white as if he had heard the words he never believed he would hear.
âYouâre really crazyâŠâ
âWhat are you talking about? Later, Iâll keep a lock of his hair. Iâll ask for a strand every time we meet.â
âWhat the hell?!â
âYouâre stupid. Iâll put it on my pillow and sleep on it. Iâll do that until I get marriedâŠâ
âIâm sure weâll have a happily ever after,â I whispered, making Izar tremble.
Jackpot.
âWhat a creepy human being! If I were you, I would turn around and run while I still could.â
âWhere did you hear such a ridiculous superstition?â
After Scarlett said a few more discomforting things, Izar took a deep breath and placed his head on the window sill.
He sighed and looked at Scarlett. He seemed to have lots to say.
As Scarlett looked at him, she realized that the other two were oddly silent.
Looking back, she saw the pale faces of the duke and duchess.
The dukeâs complexion made Scarlett particularly happy.
Scarlett happily smiled.
âHe must be regretting making his psycho daughter the tyrantâs fiance, right?â
It was obvious.
Scarlett looked out the window and acted oblivious.
They would arrive at the mansion soon.
âIâll make you regret it.â
The tyrantâs fiance was bound to end up in a grave.
Marrying him was no different than asking to die.

But the duke didnât know that, did he?

âI donât know what the hell is making him like that.â
After the duchessâs death, he forced his feelings of inferiority onto his daughter,
