Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 62
The Eelheim Grand Ducal Mansion, located northeast of Yurahill, the capital of the Justera Empire.
The massive main gate opened, and the line of waiting carriages passed one by one through inspection by the Angelus Knights before entering.
These were the carriages carrying the dresses, jewels, and accessories specially ordered for Yuriella.
Countless invitations had poured in for the newlywed Grand Duke and Duchess, who had come directly from their honeymoon destination, Colina Rosa, to attend the High Nobility Assembly.
It was only natural that the titled nobles would be intensely interested in the Duchess, chosen by the Lord of the North. Since her first appearance at the court banquet would be tantamount to her debutante ball, the nobles vied fiercely behind the scenes for the privilege of hosting her first grand stage.
The Duchess chose the Imperial Ball.
Announced by His Majesty the Emperor as a means to soothe public unrest and promote the Empire’s peace and unity, the Imperial Ball was to be held in the grand banquet hall of the Imperial Palace, Blanca Casa.
“How on earth is an Imperial Ball supposed to calm public unrest? Do they have rat droppings instead of brains in their heads?”
Yuriella, nearly suffocating under a mountain of colorful dresses, grumbled and tried to sneak away.
“You won’t be leaving until you’ve tried all of these on.”
The head maid swiftly spread her arms faster than a wind spirit and blocked the Duchess’s path.
“It’s perfectly clear already. When Lady Adelia attended the social season in the capital, even Her Imperial Highness Empress Dowager Sophia would hang her head in shame and weep bitter, chicken-dung-like tears in a corner. The Lady of the North was the undisputed queen of high society!”
“But Lady Adelia was an imperial princess—a renowned beauty, at that.”
“You, Your Highness, can also earn the title of the Empire’s greatest woman.”
“I don’t want to be the Empire’s greatest woman or anything like that—.”
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.

Kyaaaaa!!!!!! He took his decision!!!! He’ll try. He doesn’t know he won a long time ago.
I loved this scene! The way he said it and Yuriella (Solace) ‘a turmoil.
Really a father knows his child. He knows what more probably he’ll do.
