They said there was a big bee. At the end of the meal, Lona went to the opposite group with a jam pie to apologize. The three sisters came on a picnic. The bee that Lona hit and blew away fell into the ice bucket where they had kept the wine and died.
If that bee was alive, he would have appointed it as a faithful servant of the family. Ileon regretted it alone. If the bee’s activity was not there, there would never have been a day when Lona nestled in her arms.
“Ha.”
A long sigh flowed out. He felt like he was going crazy because he was stifling his chest.
Eventually, it was a problem with his pride.
Lona was just doing her job for the money. Even knowing that it was a relationship based on such an employment contract, I wished she would allow a corner of her heart to me. But was it impossible from the beginning? Because of the difference in status between her and himself, Lona may have regarded him as a person from another world.
Even if she took her hand to escort her, and subtly hugged her folded arm, Lona was only loyal to the escort practice she was in charge of.
“I was a little hopeful because I oppose a marriage without love.”
He resented the living creature lying comfortably in his bed and breathing comfortably without knowing who was expecting to respond to his words.
Lona simultaneously allowed Ileon to live and made him endlessly tormented.
Knock knock.
At the sound of knocking on the door, Ileon pulled up the blanket that covered Lona even more.
“Come in.”
The door opened and a familiar sensation cautiously entered the room. It was the butler Bernard.
He stuck out his tongue while looking at Lona, who had fallen asleep in Ileon’s bed, stopping reading the book.
“Do you do this again?”
Ileon didn’t answer. It had been a while since he used a shallow trick because he didn’t want to send Lona back to her room. It would have been a rumor that a maid stayed in the master’s room all night, enough to become a big rumor at other nobles’ homes, but fortunately the maid working at the Grand Duke’s house was actually only Lona, so it was lucky.
“What’s up at this time?”
At Ileon’s words, Bernard was incredulous.
“You said you couldn’t sleep well, and if you were awake at 12 o’clock at night, you told me to bring hot tea.”
He definitely ordered it. Ileon blamed himself two hours ago for giving the butler a useless job.
Looking at such Ileon, Bernard seriously spoke in a regretful tone.
“Why don’t you take her as a concubine?”
“What did you just say?”
The most trusted butler’s voice was calm.
“She is a maid without identification. The contract relationship is different from ordinary civilian maids.”
The maid without identification was different. It was close to being bought and sold for money like a slave. That’s why Lona didn’t come into the Grand Duke’s house where no one wanted to work.
“You are too polite, my lord.”
As Bernard said. When I heard the back rumors of the capital’s social world, it was a common thing for a family head or small family head to spend the night with a maid working at home. Rather, there were many who secretly hoped for a chance to live favorably in the eyes of a young and handsome owner.
However, Ileon was furious at the honest butler’s words.
“Never again. Don’t mention it. Even if it’s you, I won’t forgive.”
Bernard didn’t add any more words and quietly backed away.
But Ileon felt like he had put a boiling fireball in his chest that had been stuffy until a while ago.
“To take Lona… as a concubine.”
Ileon also realized that he was angry at Bernard for nothing. All the interest and favor that I had suppressed and denied about Lona so far are all concluded as matters between men and women.
As the emperor said, didn’t he have to marry already at his age?
Ileon also knew how the nobles of this age, who had everything they could have, lived dissolutely.
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.
