Contract Marriage with the Devil Duke (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 68
Regalis visited the prison to see the Empress before attending the party. The Empress was receiving special treatment of her own kind, but her complexion was very poor. It was understandable—after all, she had been formally deposed following her trial.
Regalis looked at her with pity and spoke.
“Mother. Are you all right?”
The Empress trembled all over and clutched her dress tightly.
“I’m fine. If you someday inherit the throne and become Emperor, you will restore this mother’s honor.”
Regalis had always assumed he would naturally become Emperor, but Saintess Daphne’s prophetic dream weighed heavily on his mind.
He wanted to give the Empress a firm answer, yet the words wouldn’t come.
Seeing Regalis hesitate, the Empress narrowed her eyes fiercely.
“Don’t tell me the rumors circulating outside are true? That you’re involved with the Duchess?”
Apparently, the Empress was aware of the scandal too. Regalis sighed deeply, his expression troubled.
“Sigh… Everyone keeps talking about that. Even if it were true, it wouldn’t harm me.”
“I already know your relationships with women are complicated. But you’ve always kept it well hidden until now. Get a hold of yourself. You can’t afford even the slightest blemish. If you have any feelings for the Duchess, cut them off decisively.”
The Empress’s words made sense. It was true that the scandal had already caused a slight stain. Though Regalis himself hadn’t really cared about it.
He looked at the Empress, who seemed on the verge of collapse, and finally managed to speak.
“Please take care of your health, Mother. I’ll be off now.”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
What about her cousin Sokor? It might explain his personality changes.
