“A scandal…”
“What does that matter? The important thing is that mine and Elise’s names are side by side.”
Hartvin sometimes couldn’t understand Karan. A logical and cold person, yet he lost his rationality when it came to Elise.
But since it didn’t harm him, Hartvin just watched.
“How about keeping it in a frame?”
Hartvin was somewhat amused by Karan’s enthusiasm.
“Fine. Get a few more copies.”
Karan said this and grabbed his coat.
“Where are you going? Should I come too?”
“You stay and work. We haven’t finished the Bedrocca business withdrawal yet.”

Karan had nullified all the plans he had in Bedrocca.
Without Elise, Bedrocca meant nothing to Karan.
‘I’ll have to destroy it someday. I don’t want my hard work to be wasted there.’
Karan glanced at the streets of Bedrocca through the window and then stepped outside.
His destination was a small park known for its walking paths.
Karan, watching the Bedrocca nobles leisurely strolling along the lakeside with parasols, felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
‘They live such carefree lives.’
The joys of Bedroccan life were luxuries not permitted to a Titrisian.
Whether it was ugly jealousy or inferiority, Karan’s criticism was somewhat justified considering the ancient past that put Ragnaros to sleep.
‘The Bedrocca royal family is a bunch of frauds.’

Karan’s gaze sharpened.
“Your Highness? You’re here early.”
At the sound of Elise’s voice, Karan’s demeanor changed.
His gaze remained lofty, but his eyes softened.
“Elise, welcome… What is this?”
But the tender mood didn’t last. Karan lifted Elise’s chin. His gaze lingered on her swollen, bruised cheek.
“It’s nothing.”
Elise forcibly removed Karan’s hand.
A fury ignited inside Karan. Her pale, delicate face was swollen and bruised, like a canvas smeared with paint, and yet she said it was nothing?
“Is this a familiar occurrence for you, or do you want me to ignore it? Or perhaps, do you enjoy the pain?”

In his anger, Karan couldn’t help but speak sarcastically to Elise.
“It’s not about being used to it. I don’t want to cause you concern. Pain… depends on what I’m willing to endure for the consequences. I don’t enjoy it.”
Elise answered without a single hair out of place, as if determined to upset Karan.
“Who did this? Is it because of the article?”
Karan felt ashamed of himself for being pleased by the article, not fully realizing the situation Elise had to bear responsibility for and endure.
Karan clenched his fist.
“Your Highness, it will heal soon. If you keep this up, I’ll regret coming out today.”
In fact, Elise intended to refuse when Karan suggested they meet. Sneaking out wasn’t easy.
But she had to meet him to ensure the scandal didn’t end as just a scandal.
And she hadn’t expected Karan to react so sensitively to her injury.
Chase often dismissed it when Elise was hit by Fraser.

“Just apply some ointment.”
That was all the reaction Chase showed.
At that time, Elise thought Chase was holding back his upset feelings to appear favorable to her family, the Worton Earl’s house.
‘It wasn’t that. He just didn’t care about my injuries.’
Whether Elise was hurt or not.
She had thought most men would be like Chase, but Karan was different.
His anger was visible in his eyes. His lower eyelid muscles trembled, and his jaw was set firmly.
“Let’s walk.”
Elise pulled Karan’s arm.
Walking together affectionately was better for fueling rumors than standing in confrontation.

Karan, finding it painful to look at Elise’s face any longer, turned sharply.
He began walking ahead, and Elise quickly followed.
“Your Highness…”
“I need some time to think.”
Karan cut off Elise’s words, slowing his pace to allow her to catch up easily.
It was a day with nice sunshine and breeze. Many people were at the lakeside, some even boating.
A few recognized Karan and Elise and pointed fingers.
Karan quickly noticed and glared sharply.
Those who made eye contact with him were startled and turned away, but the murmuring didn’t stop.
“It will be like this in Bedrocca for a while.”

Elise lightly grasped Karan’s arm, and even that slight force made him stop.
“For the time being, it’s unavoidable. I’m sorry, but you’ll have to get used to it. It’s unpleasant, isn’t it?”
It wasn’t the scandal that bothered him. He was angry because of Elise’s face.
“What exactly should I get used to? Tell me what I should get used to while living with you.”
Karan’s voice was unusually rigid.
“Scorn? Criticism? Or perhaps a wife who’s beaten and bruised?”
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
