‘He doesn’t remember why he married Scarlett’s mother.’
After all, he wasn’t even in love.
Scarlett’s real mother was a commoner. However, she was a beautiful, elegant, and extraordinary person.
Although the elders of the family ignored the duke, they treated the former duchess with care,
‘But that didn’t mean the duke loved the duchess.’
The present Duchess of Milia was also an outstanding person.
However, the duke was ignoring her because she was the woman he had abandoned before.
While ignoring her, he can’t help but feel inferior to her.
‘Why should I live like that?’
Scarlett gently closed her eyes and thought about it.
‘The duchess, however, still didn’t agree to push Scarlett into a position like this.’
‘The reason why the duchess is so pale may simply be because she is tired of my vulgarity.’
But the duke was different.
He feared the engagement’s annulment. Scarlett smiled.
Her family was sure to be disgraced because of the breakup.
‘The Duke of Armand will be displeased with the tyrant.’
This was why people had to be careful.
‘Karma will strike back.’
When Scarlett saw the pale duke, she laughed a little.
Maybe he was feeling scared.
Scarlett smiled, but there was no malice in her grin.
***
Vector, the Arman family’s butler, was worried about the news of the early return home of the master and his wife.
“No way, did Lady Scarlet have another accident?”
‘Oh, no way.’
‘It was quiet for a month.’
After the engagement, she had been out of control.
Even so, there was no way she would have acted out of the way in His Majesty’s presence.
‘But, then, why are you returning home so early?’
He welcomed them with anxiety.
Before long, an antique carriage with the emblem of the dukedom passed through the garden and reached the front door.
The moment the carriage door opened, the butler had to hurriedly move aside.
It was an instinctive movement.
Something passed by him quickly.
His eyes followed the passing figure, who had just passed and opened his mouth.
‘Miss……?’
“There, there! Get her!”
“Huh?”
The duke, whose face was dark, came out and shouted at the butler.
He immediately stormed inside without waiting for the butler’s response.
“Call the clinic.”
“You mean the doctor?”
“It seems that Scarlet is not normal.”
The confused butler suddenly realized that Master Izar was nowhere to be found.
“……”
The duchess remained speechless.
Izar had told Scarlett, “No matter how hard I think about it, you’re crazy right now. What will happen if you die? The funeral will be bothersome.”
Scarlett didn’t respond to his words, and Izar had exited the carriage in a back alley he frequented.
The duchess was shocked by the two children’s words and actions which were rather unbefitting of an aristocrat.
Scarlett was especially odd.
“Madam?”
It wasn’t just that.
Scarlett had also told the duke and duchess, “You know I’m His Majesty’s fiance now, right? I’ll be busy, so it’d be best if you stayed out of my way.”
Scarlett had gazed directly at the duke.
The duke had a very nasty look.
The duke couldn’t stand it. That was why this uproar is happening,
And the duchess…
“I’m tired.”
Scarlet Armand was strange.
The butler, sensing the cold atmosphere, couldn’t talk anymore.
And, without notice, he brought the duchess inside.
***
Izar kept talking to Scarlett.
“No matter how hard I think about it, you’re crazy right now. What will happen if you die?”
“You’re such a sweet talker, aren’t you?”
“The funeral will be bothersome.”
Only
“What?”
Scarlett was shocked.
Izar exited the carriage in a back alley.
‘He better not break anything after drinking.’
Izar had gotten beaten once or twice by thugs while he was sighing.
It’s because I’ve seen it once or twice where he got hit by thugs while sighing
But why should Scarlett care?
‘Hmph. He can take care of himself.’
