Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 43
“If you’re asking who saved me…”
If only I’d pretended to stay unconscious a little longer, could I have avoided this?
No. It’s an unavoidable question.
A corpse with my sword plunged into its chest was found in the Duchess’s chamber. And I am the sole witness to the intruder who killed the assassin in one stroke—someone even the knights guarding His Grace had never known existed.
“That person…”
His Grace the Grand Duke and Captain Leo await my answer.
What should I say?
“…Solace Moretti.”
If I can’t fabricate a perfect lie, perhaps I should reveal half the truth?
“Eh?”
Captain Leo stared at me with an incredulous expression. His voice cracked high at the end, as if he couldn’t believe his ears.
“Solace Moretti… the Captain of the Imperial Knights?”
I saved myself, so I’m telling the truth.
Leo opened and closed his mouth several times before finally managing to speak.
“But… he’s, um… dead, Your Highness?”
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!!!
I love how she realized she loved him from the begining. But I die seeing him jealous of himself.
Awww
Kyaaaaa!!!!!! He took his decision!!!! He’ll try. He doesn’t know he won a long time ago.
