Deborah cannot remember her name before she became ‘Deborah.’
While she can’t recall even that short name, Deborah does remember vague impressions of the life she led, the beneficial knowledge she gained from that world, and the wisdom that can only be realized through direct experience.
Thus, the story of ‘Zen being the male protagonist’ was part of the knowledge Deborah remembered.
It seemed that Deborah, before becoming ‘Deborah,’ had read many stories.
‘Although I don’t remember exactly.’
Among the stories she read, the most intense and unsettling was “Now No One Can Leave My Side.”
The story revolves around Dia Blaise, the only daughter of a fallen noble family. Jen Baker, a foreign bourgeois, appears before her. Harboring deep hatred for the Burned Duke, Jen makes a threatening proposition to Dia.
“Become my wife and be the flower of this damned society. Help me spread my wings. Then I’ll pay off all your family’s debts.”
To enter the conservative Grosian social circle, Jen, from a foreign land, needed a wife of noble descent. To rise higher, he also needed a title.
For him, Dia was a suitable candidate. She was beautiful, and although lacking capital, she was a member of the prestigious Blaise Earl family.
Moreover, as an only child, if Jen married her and had a child, he would become the Earl of Blaise according to the kingdom’s laws.
Dia was terrified of the arrogant and fierce Jen, but her mother, desperate to escape their impoverished life, urged her to accept her fate.
Jen, always busy, marries Dia as soon as she arrives in the capital, Dover.
The glamorous but uncomfortable wedding dress, the beautiful but heavy and rarely worn wedding ring – all seemed to foretell Dia’s future.
Immediately after the wedding, Dia had to undergo various trainings.
“You can’t attend banquets or parties like that. Your ignorance will be exposed with just one word.”
“…….”
“I don’t have time. Learn to become a proper lady as soon as possible. If not, at least pretend to be one.”
During Dia’s overwhelming education, the Burned Duke decides to attend a ball. Jen, not wanting to miss this opportunity, attends the party with Dia. This marks the beginning of Dia’s accelerated misfortunes.
The nobility ostracized her. Not just them, but also the governess teaching her and the dresser helping her with her attire mentally cornered Dia.
Thus, the country girl Dia received wounds both outside and within the Baker family. However, Jen offered her no comfort, only coldness.
One day, Dia discovers Jen’s secret. He was the illegitimate child of the Burned Duke.
Dia couldn’t hate the child abandoned by Jen, a child full of scars, staring at people with such hatred.
‘This man is just too tormented and in pain. That’s why he’s crying out in this way.’
Dia knew she couldn’t save Jen, but hoped to offer him some solace.
It didn’t take long for her pity to turn into love. Love kept breeding desire.
‘If I try harder than now, might he smile at me? Even if it’s far in the future, just a little bit, might he love me?’
But Jen, focused on producing an heir to become the Earl of Blaise, never gave his heart to Dia.
And no child came from their loveless, harsh union. Was that a blessing or a curse?
One day, as Dia’s anxiety deepens, a woman appears claiming to be pregnant with Jen’s child.
Dia falls into deep despair and eventually abandons her love for Jen and the sense of debt to her family, fleeing from everything.
But Jen was not one to let his possession escape. Frantically searching to the ends of the earth, Jen finally found Dia.
At that moment, Jen, with bloodshot eyes and a twisted grip on Dia’s wrist, said:
“I don’t care if you’ve been with another man or even if you’re carrying his child. You were bought by me. You are mine, and I won’t let my possessions be taken by anyone else, ever.”
Thus, Dia was trapped in a dark room in the Baker mansion, enduring terrible days.
Jen told the increasingly emaciated Dia that if she couldn’t bear his child, he would make the child of that woman Dia’s child.
“What? What about the child’s mother?”
“I’ll just get rid of that woman.”
“You mean to separate the child from its mother?!”
“Are you worried about that woman in this situation? How angelic.”
With an icy expression, colder than his face, Jen gripped Dia’s gaunt face and said:
“I have nothing left but revenge. What wouldn’t I do for it?”
At the moment of Dia’s despair, the story ends with the implication that Jen’s revenge would continue.
Deborah stared at the book with only blank pages left to turn. The story ended, but their misfortune surely didn’t, probably lasting until their deaths, or perhaps even after.
Deborah swallowed a sigh. Her feelings at that time weren’t important. What mattered was that the man standing before her was the protagonist of that story.
Arrogant, despicable, seemingly incapable of loving anyone.
And yet, Deborah amusingly hadn’t imagined that Jen could be the interviewer, given his nature.
‘He maintained a respectful tone, despite his arrogance.’
