Killian POV
Killian Devonshire’s first impression of Rowena Philone that she was a “frail and innocent woman”.
She was from a remote countryside that is not highly populated, incapable of suspecting others, and ignorant of the world

***
When I heard on the train that she was twenty, I felt my blood go cold. I was 28 years old, and this woman who had just reached adulthood was too young for me.
The minimal morality and innocence I possessed prevented my instincts, and my insidious imagination also came to an end.
The fun lasted only a short time, and when the train reached its destination, I simply said goodbye, despite my desire to mark that white neck.
─We’ve arrived, I had a great time. Miss Philone.
─Oh 

 Yes, me too Mr. Killian.
I remember the way her shoulders dropped a little as if she was disappointed. That woman was actually a child, though the sweet water trickled down from her like a well-ripened fruit. The after taste will be bitter because it was not ripe yet. Unable to speak, I turned away from the woman who was staring at me without regret.
It should have ended there.
Normally, I should have forgotten all about her the moment I left the train. But I failed to, seeing how powerfully the woman had made a deep impression on me.
On the way to the carriage that was waiting for me when I got off the train, and even after I arrived at the mansion, the image of the woman kept haunting him.
At first, I thought it was simply a desire. It had been a while since I held a woman, I recalled that I broke up with an actress I dated two months ago, and never held a woman since.
After that, I went from one meaningless party to another. There were many women who were willing to spend a night with me, but none of them was enough to cool down my burning desire, the more I tried to satisfy my thirst, the more miserable I became.
There were many reasons why I couldn’t have this woman.
First of all, she was a twenty-year-old child! and she was a middle-class woman, so much lower than his state, but that flimsy conscience did not last long.
The conclusion I came to after suffering from incessant sleeplessness, frustration, and endless unsatisfied thirst was a realization.
If you’re twenty, aren’t you an adult?
What does status matter when I’m not looking for someone to marry?
Maybe once I have her once, all of my interest will cool down.
─Rowena Philone, blonde hair, green eyes, arrived in the capital the other day. Find her
Gertrude was surprised by the sudden order, but it was a fleeting state.
The news I heard a few days later was shocking.
─she is a high-end whore who used her blonde hair as a weapon to enchant every wealthy man in her way and then ran away, leaving a very large debt behind.
It was like someone had poured cold water on the top of my head. Gertrude lowered her head.
─Do you want me to bring her?
─No, don’t.
I thought she was a pure country girl

I burst into laughter. It was such a wonderful performance that even I, who thought that I was cunning to some extent, got surprised and deceived.
My jaw clenched. It was killing me, but the funniest part was that I couldn’t get out of that situation for days over such a woman.
─All right, Get out of here.
This was the moment when I coldly ordered her to leave and grabbed my pen again after leaving it for a while. Gertrude, who was hesitating, asked gently.
─Your grace
 She looked a lot like the dead Lady Angela.
─


.
─She seems to be in trouble with money right now
 It would be quite useful if you use it well. I’m sure the Queen will bring you another marriage match

.
At that moment, a bell rang in my head. It was quite a reasonable story.
─It’s a good idea.
─Then, I will work on it immediately to

Gertrude’s complexation became brighter and turned around to leave.
─Not now. After she tumbles a little more.
Only a person who had fallen to the bottom and crashed into the ground knew what subject I would present her to.
I could wait as long as I want because after rolling through the mud, she would be docile.
And as such, my thoughts were right on point.
After a long wait on the wet ground, the woman easily grabbed my hand when I reached out to her. She nodded at my suggestion, “Be my mistress in exchange for paying off your huge debt.”
