Chapter 59

 

(TN – Don't mind me as I just flip this chapter off... why? Well because it's all our favorite Duke's, Duke Hessmann's (aka Duke He Man) POV.

 

- A )

 

***

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, Duke Hessmann, who remained staggering at the masked ball, stopped while grinding his teeth.

 

"Gasp."

 

'Suddenly there is a rush of pain between the thighs.'

 

It was strange.

 

It became more difficult for him to walk, and for the first time he saw the cold eyes surrounding him.

 

A great birth, a fluid way of speaking, skillful gestures, and perfect abilities.

 

Except for his engagement with Meldenique, his life was completely solid.

 

'I collected the garbage, but I did not know the subject would dare, How dare she......?'

 

He staggered up his tingling lower body.

 

In the meantime, an arrogant gaze on the left swept through him.

 

I don't think I can manage my image in this place.

 

Having lost his reason, he scowled at his surroundings.

 

"Shut up and don't say anything."

 

His words always had authority, but not today.

 

The people took a step back, while hiding their smirk on their lips.

 

'Shit!'

 

Perhaps tomorrow everyone in the social world will talk about today's events.

 

Duke Hessmann could not find any way to revive this atmosphere. All I had to say is to remain silent.

 

The ballroom was a struggle, and people gave him a cold look.

 

"He's an adulterer."

 

People who kick their tongues and insult themselves.

 

The gazes were way too stinging.

 

He shouldn't have done this. He had to be the object of everyone's envy.

 

He hid his trembling fists and walked out the door pretending to be blunt.

 

The last thing he heard was criticism.

 

A strange young man behind him with a loud voice clicked his tongue at the Duke of Hessmann.

 

"......Wow, are you even running away because you're caught having an affair?"

 

He had no intention of shouting today.

 

All his plans were completely ruined.

 

It may now be impossible to have produce a child.

 

'I'm sure. Meldenique has some mysterious powers. Whether it's alchemy, phantasmagoria, or whatever.'

 

His predecessor Duke Hessmann has repeatedly stressed that Meldenique should not be enlighten on her abilities.

 

'Who was the man you were with?'

 

Come to think of it, the man she brought was also suspicious.

 

I didn't know what kind of helper he was because I didn't check it properly, but it was clear that he was a pretty talented person.

 

'At what point!'

 

 

I couldn't figure it out.

 

The people who had been clinging to her not so long ago had suddenly changed.

 

Even her attitude was arrogant.

 

The arrogant woman despises herself and felt pathetic. Because he felt that the way he treated her was as if she were inferior to him in her way of speaking and demeanor.

 

On the subject of Meldenique.

 

'Impudent thing. I'll crush you properly.'

 

Duke Hessmann hurriedly headed to his mansion.

 

To be precise, he entered the villa of the mansion that only he could enter and leave even within the family.

 

At the entrance to the villa, countless magic artifacts were piled up like a mountain.

 

'You have to show me what you see.'

 

He scans through the artifacts with his eyes, looking for something to make him stronger.

 

'The first three are virtually unhelpful.'

 

He clearly confirmed with his own eyes today that the words of the three henchmen who reported to me on a regular basis were all wrong.

 

'You shouldn't trust anyone anymore.'

 

I have to be careful because I don't know for sure what ability she has.

 

Lenox gritted his teeth.

 

At that moment, a light flashed in the video sphere that Duke Hessmann was always carrying on his person.

 

It was Sheria. (TN – ooh noo it's the She-slut ... yea I know I should work on my naming sense but hey I have some rules in life and #1 is though shalt not be the lover of a siblings/familys/friends. If you are you aren't allowed to get upset if you get slut shamed.. )

Is my lover, who was on vacation, scheduled to return?

 

Duke Hesmann pressed the button on the video sphere.

 

Soon, a lovely woman with pink hair appeared in front of the video sphere.

 

"My beloved Lenox."

 

In the video sphere, a sweet voice of honey rang out. Although she had a young face, she was elegant and seductive enough.

 

She was a woman who had the title of the most beautiful social flower in this empire.

 

"I heard some bad news."

 

"What?"

 

"I heard my Unnie started a new business in front of the academy?" (TN- Unnie – Korean word that means big sister generally said by a younger sister or someone like a younger sister)

"······Yeah. Besides, she set me up. There will be bad rumors about us."

 

Duke Hessmann muttered with a dark face.

 

Then Sheria made a gesture that seemed to be exaggeratedly melancholy.

 

"I don't know exactly what's going on, but······. Just let Unnie run wild."

 

Sheria whispered low as if to comfort him.

 

"If I return, my Unnie will be done for anyway."

 

In response for a reliable answer, Hessmann nodded his head.

 

My lover was always perfect.

 

She specializes in sneaking through Meldenique's wounds and isolating her.

 

 

"I trust you, Sheria. I love you."

 

In fact, Duke Hessmann did not love her. For him, Sheria was also just a tool to make him shine.

 

However, if she can avenge the arrogant Meldenique, who brutally abandoned and humiliated me ······.

 

Saying I love you was easy.

 

Sheria smiled broadly and whispered sweetly towards him.

 

"Me too."

 

"I can't wait to marry you."

 

A fantastic smile formed around Sheria's lips.

 

"Did you finally think about breaking up with Unnie?"

 

"Yeah. Because we are meant to be."

 

Sheria smiled brightly and said.

 

"Yeah. I have some very good news here, too."

 

Sheria showed the inside by changing the angle of the video sphere.

 

Inside were a few men, dressed in white priest's uniforms, wiping something like a giant glass barrel.

 

His face became puzzled when he saw the giant sword and the strange creature trapped inside it.

 

"What's...... That?"

 

"Will you get mad if I tell you it's a secret, Lenox?"

 

She pouted her lips exaggeratedly and whistled.

 

Behind her back, something huge and pure white glimmered and disappeared.

 

It was like a statue or a weapon.

 

"Umm...... Should I say that it's an object related to Unnie's curse?"

 

"······You're mistaken, Sheria. She's not under a curse."

 

However, Sheria whispered innocently as if she already knew.

 

"You mean Kinnoa's bloodline being blessed by a dragon? I know. But I think dragon's blessing is definitely another name for a curse."

 

Sheria chuckled quietly.

 

Duke Hessmann was mesmerized by his lover's exceptionally lovely smile.

 

"Anyway, come see me, Lennox. Huh?"

 

"...... Should I."

 

His heart was calmer by the sweet words of his lover.

 

As if singing Sheria spoke softly.

 

"I've already contacted my mother. My mother said that Unnie would be excommunicated from the family."

 

"Ah."

 

"After Unnie is excommunicated, I'll be able to get rid of her right away. It'll be like pulling out all the weeds."

 

"Okay. I see. I'll go find you."

 

"Lenox, come quickly. And let's go back to the Empire together."

 

Soon, the light went out of the video sphere.

 

"Yes......"

 

I will not be able to go out in society for a while anyway.

 

It was obvious that he would not be able to show his face openly during the upper duties of the Duke of Hessmann.

 

'Shit.'

 

How about entrusting yourself to the Holy Land for a while and returning three days after the excommunication trial?

 

'Hildegart will take care of the excommunication trial.'

 

Duke Hesmann placed his trembling hands down to the floor.

 

He was not running away like a rat.

 

After the excommunication trial is over the woman becomes a commoner anyway.

 

Meldenique was a woman who would be destroyed anyway. My image has been somewhat damaged, but that's all.

 

The only person who will laugh at the end is himself.

 

The woman who doesn't know this will surely tear her limbs someday.

 

"Shit!"

 

Still, my legs hurt and fell asleep.

 

'I'll have to call a healer.'

 

The back of my head went cold at the thought of my future family, just in case.

 

He stared between his legs and bit the inside of his cheek.

 

Duke Hessmann placed the video sphere roughly in his arms.

 

Then he stood in front of the bowl of Mana, which he had stolen from the tower, putting a smile on his lips.

 

He had already absorbed all of the mana in the mana bowl.

 

'I was caught off guard this time, but next time I won't fall for it.'

 

His abilities also improved significantly. It doesn't matter how great Meldenique Vaveloa is. In the end, he'll be the one who wins.
