Duke, This Will Sting for a Moment (30 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 75
The Imperial Palace Grand Ballroom, Golden Hall.
“His Grace Grand Duke Frost Eelheim and Her Grace the Duchess enter!”
The nobles, who had arrived early before the official ball began to exchange greetings, all turned their eyes toward the entrance in unison.
It was only natural that all attention focused on Frost Eelheim, the lord of the North, second in line to the imperial throne, and the sole possessor of unmatched military might and wealth among the sixteen great noble houses representing the empire.
The Grand Duke rarely appeared at court functions, so his arrival today with his bride was nothing short of a major event.
Tonight’s imperial ball served as the Duchess’s formal debutante presentation and the official introduction of the new mistress of the North.
But there was another reason the crowd stared so intently—some with sharp scrutiny, others with burning curiosity—at the ducal couple.
“Could it really be true? That His Grace struck His Imperial Majesty’s head…?”
“It must be a baseless rumor. If it were true, he’d have lost his head by now—how could he attend the ball so boldly?”
“Hard as it may be to believe, it’s factual. My brother serves among the imperial knights. A fellow knight came back drenched in blood and told him: His Majesty’s skull was shattered, and the Grand Duke himself carried him on his back to the palace. And the culprit… was none other than Duke Eelheim.”
“Good heavens! What reason could he possibly have?”
“The Northern pacification campaign caused devastating losses. Moreover, His Grace himself was struck by the Cursed Blade and given a terminal prognosis.”
“I heard a different version. His Majesty made improper advances toward Her Grace, and in his fury, the Grand Duke kicked him…”
“Improper advances…?”
Though Chief Steward Dario enforced strict silence, word of mouth could pierce even ironclad walls.

Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
