Madam and the Stable Keeper (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 4
“A man’s name, huh? Even in a shitty situation like this, you’re still thinking about men?”
The man called Walter asked with an incredulous look, a hint of mockery in his voice, yet clearly trying to probe the other’s thoughts calmly.
“It’s not like that.”
Edith replied briefly but firmly.
She hadn’t screamed things like “Where am I?” or “Let me out!” simply because she hadn’t yet figured out who this man really was.
Despite wearing the same servant’s attire as others, hadn’t he crushed Hans’ hand underfoot when the latter reached for her? And hadn’t he been barking orders at the other servants like some superior?
He acted as though he stood alone at the top of the hierarchy.
‘No matter how grandly he behaves, he’s probably just another servant sent here on Sophia’s orders.’
He was merely one among those dispatched to violate her under some illicit command.
Realizing this, Edith couldn’t hide her contempt. Walter, catching her icy glare, twisted his lips into an amused smile.
“Bound by a restraining spell so you can’t even leave the viscount’s estate, yet you still make that face. Are you just slow at grasping the situation?”
Though irritated by the man’s mocking tone, Edith noticed something important: he knew about the restraining spell.
Was it because he was one of Sophia’s inner circle, as expected?
“…Don’t come any closer.”
“Now you’re giving orders, too?”
Walter chuckled again—this time, the mockery was unmistakable.
“What do you think I’ll do if I come closer?”
His eyes, reminiscent of a deep forest at night, gleamed with interest. Edith ground her teeth inwardly.
These were men sent by the viscount’s first wife. So whether it was him or any other—it made no difference.
“You’re planning to forcibly embrace me.”
At her words, Walter’s expression twisted oddly, and he briefly ushered the others outside the door.
Now alone with Edith, he let out a soft, scoffing laugh before asking,
“Judging by how certain you sound, you must check yourself in the mirror often. You clearly have immense confidence in your looks, thinking any man you meet for the first time would desire you.”
“What are you—”
Edith was speechless. But before she could voice her indignation, Walter’s eyes changed. Beneath his black hair, his green eyes flashed with menace.
“Listen carefully. I don’t care about Sophia’s orders or your body.”
“…”
“Tell me what Nicholas Portrion said and what object he touched before those assassins got to him.”
The moment Walter said that, his clothing and appearance ceased to matter. He was the kind of man who could exude overwhelming presence through voice and atmosphere alone.
Now she understood why Hans, who’d claimed to be just another servant, had instantly risen and stepped back the moment Walter jerked his chin.
Like a beast, this man instinctively used what he was born with to crush his opponent’s will completely—so thoroughly that one couldn’t help but wonder if he was truly just an ordinary servant.
“You’d better open your mouth quickly.”
“…”
Edith swallowed hard.
Right after witnessing him crush another man’s hand bones without hesitation, her mind wouldn’t work properly from tension. Yet one thing was clear: the viscount’s actions mattered deeply to him.
Also clear was that he held considerable power within the estate—enough to defy Sophia’s orders.
Then, her only choice was to gamble if she wanted to survive this wretched Portrion mansion.
“Walter, Viscount Portrion—who never knew how to handle a woman alone—came to the house where I live. Then we boarded a carriage together, and until just before the attack, he spoke with me.”
She spoke as calmly as possible, staring directly into his eyes.
After even her mother passed away and she was left alone in the world, she’d learned one thing: never show weakness in front of others.
The moment the world sensed she had neither strength nor anything in her grasp, it turned cruel and vile toward her. Pretending to know things, pretending to possess things—that was the wise strategy here in the Portrion estate, too.
“If you’re curious about what we talked about, what he touched, or where he looked, then fool Sophia right now.”
At her firm tone, Walter frowned as if doubting his own ears.
“…Are you saying I should make it look like the others violated you?”
“I just need you to create a deception. If I truly suffer such humiliation, I’ll seal my lips forever.”
Walter’s gaze at Edith shifted subtly. Moments ago, he’d looked at her as someone to interrogate; now his eyes sparkled as if he’d discovered something intriguing.
“So you’re proposing a deal—with me?”
Walter’s expression tightened, his voice dropping lower. To Edith, his reaction was a good sign.
If he’d thought she was spouting nonsense, he would’ve threatened her with physical force instead.
‘The fact he’s only using verbal threats means whatever information I might reveal is extremely important to him.’
So Edith played the part of someone who held vital knowledge.
“Yes. A deal. Before I tell you what I know, I need to be sure your mouth stays shut.”
“You seem sane enough, at least—you’re speaking clearly.”
Growling like a beast, his low voice made Edith nod without uttering a word.
Her blue eyes still shone with resolute pride—fearful, yes, but never fully yielding before a threat.
Instinctively, Walter realized this was about to become troublesome.
“What if I refuse?”
“I’ll bite off my tongue before you can do anything terrible to me.”
“…”
Thud—
Walter snatched the sharp stone fragment Edith had been clutching and hurled it far across the floor.
He knew she wouldn’t harm him—but if she couldn’t bite her tongue, perhaps she’d resort to self-harm as a threat. Unlike her gentle appearance, this woman was stubborn beyond measure.
‘…Has she gotten to me?’
Contrary to Walter’s assessment, however, Edith was struggling hard to conceal her trembling insides.
She’d started this gamble, but if he refused the deal, no one would save her from whatever horrors awaited here.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say her entire future now rested solely on this man before her.
‘There’s nothing special about the viscount’s actions that I remember…’
What had the viscount been hiding? Even Edith herself didn’t know—but she absolutely had to hide this uncertainty.
Only by pretending to know something significant would he grow desperate enough to uncover secrets.
“Damn it…”
Walter let out a low, exasperated sigh, clearly never having expected things to go this way.
He stared down at Edith with an annoyed expression for a long moment, then knelt. Startled by his sudden closeness, Edith held her breath.
“Don’t resist. Come here.”
He murmured softly, gripping her chin and pressing his thumb against her lips.
The instant his large hand enveloped her face, dark thoughts flashed through Edith’s mind like scenes from a galloping horse.
So he had no intention of cooperating just because she’d tell him what the viscount did before the attack?
Walter’s hand, which had been lingering on her lips, soon moved toward her leg.
He deliberately gripped her tender skin hard enough to leave marks. When the stranger’s fingertips touched her bare leg, she squeezed her eyes shut in fear.
Walter let out another quiet scoff.
“Why close your eyes? Expecting something?”
“What—take your hand off me.”
“You asked for it. So I’ll give it to you.”
Riiip—
Walter tore the hem of Edith’s dress. Knowing her garment was made of fairly sturdy fabric, she couldn’t help but be stunned by his strength.
No—more than that.
“What are you doing? I never asked you to do anything!”
Startled, she snapped back at him, but Walter reached toward her face again, sliding his fingers deep into her long, voluminous golden hair.
“You said you’d reveal the viscount’s actions if I deceived Sophia.”
His large hand thoroughly tousled her hair.
“Words alone won’t fool Sophia.”
“…”
“If I go this far and you still have nothing to share, you’ll have to face the consequences.”
Walter withdrew his hand from her golden locks and stood up. Casting a quick glance at her leg, he gave her a sly, knowing smile.
“I’ve left my mark, so the deal’s sealed, Edith.”
With that, Walter left the room.
Only then, alone once more, did Edith turn her head and finally register the burning sensation on her leg.
‘What on earth…’
Now she understood what he’d meant by “leaving his mark.”
As though they’d shared an intensely rough and intimate moment, the pressure of his touch remained on her skin as vivid red marks.
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?”
