Shall I Save You, Duke? (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 68
Crash-.
The glass vase thrown onto the ornate carpet shattered mercilessly.
“Failed again?”
“…I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”
The man, his face scratched by shards of broken glass, answered only by bowing his head deeply. Empress Eugenie, her shoulders trembling with suppressed fury, exhaled sharply to calm herself.
Just how many times had they failed to assassinate the Duke now?
‘Tough fellow.’
She had assumed he’d die on his own if sent to the battlefield. Yet not only did he keep returning victorious, but every assassin she sent ended up failing, time and again.
She had been certain this attempt would succeed—after all, they’d reported the Duke had been acting unlike himself ever since that girl’s fate became unknown.
Thus, she truly believed this time would finally end the Permanence bloodline.
“Huu-.”
Seemingly calmer now, the Empress sat down and pressed her fingers to her forehead.
“Well then, let me hear your excuse. Didn’t you clearly say with your own mouth that the Duke wasn’t himself anymore? That it would surely succeed? So what exactly happened this time?”
“That is… According to those who carried out the mission, the last thing they saw was a sudden, brilliant light bursting forth—then they immediately lost consciousness.”
“A light? Have you found out what it was?”
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
