The Beast Swallowed by the Flower (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 4
Britney couldn’t believe what was unfolding right before her eyes.
‘This must be a dream. Yes, it has to be a dream. In reality, Count Green would never propose to that pitiful girl! And besides… that foolish girl could never possibly accept a proposal with such confidence.’
Despite Kai’s sudden proposal, Lisi didn’t seem flustered at all.
As if she’d expected this, she stared down at Kai’s head with an arrogant gaze.
“Please lift your head, My Lord.”
“My head will remain right here until Lady Iris accepts my proposal.”
“And if I don’t accept, will you stay like that for your entire life?”
“I shall turn to stone in this very posture.”
A faint smile graced Lisi’s lips.
‘What on earth is he doing? In front of everyone? Why is he acting like this!’
Britney’s insides were boiling with fury.
By rights, she should have been standing in Lisi’s place.
So why was that girl exchanging playful banter with Kai in that very spot?
“Given that Count Green insists so strongly…”
Lisi’s violet eyes slowly shifted and settled on Gloven.
“What should I do, Father?”
Britney also whirled her head sharply to look at Gloven.
She was absolutely certain Gloven would snap in anger and drive Lisi away.
“Hmm, hmm. Well… ahem, ahem. Since Count Green is so taken with you, perhaps you should just accept his proposal.”
“What do you mean…?!”
Britney shot up from her seat.
Gloven grabbed Britney’s wrist and gave her a stern look.
“Leave now, Britney.”
“But Father, I…”
What could she possibly say next?
That she didn’t want to hand over the man she desired—the man everyone coveted—to someone like Iris?
That she herself wanted to marry him?
That Iris belonged with a greasy old man like Alford?
Her last shred of rationality kept her from making a scene in front of Kai.
“Britney, go now.”
Gloven spoke firmly.
Britney shot Gloven a look of utter disbelief, but Gloven deliberately avoided her gaze.
Britney bit down hard on her lower lip.
There was nothing more she could do by staying here.
As she swiftly left the room, she brushed past Kai and murmured,
“You’ll regret this, Count Green.”
“I doubt it. I don’t think so at all.”
“Hmph.”
After Britney had left, Gloven spoke.
“Count Green, I grant you permission to marry Iris. Please come and take a seat.”
“I have yet to hear Lady Iris’s answer.”
“Iris, what are you waiting for? Answer him already.”
“Yes, Father. Count Green, I accept your proposal.”
Only then did Kai straighten his back.
“Iris, I have important matters to discuss with the Duke, so please leave us for now.”
Gloven spoke gently.
“No, Your Grace. I wish to stay with Lady Iris.”
Kai objected.
“Pardon?”
“We are to be husband and wife, sharing everything from now on. We should begin doing so immediately.”
“Oh…”
Gloven was flustered.
Was the man standing before him truly Kai, Count Kaelbrant Green?
The Kaelbrant Green he knew had never been kind to women.
“Will you stay with me, Lady Iris?”
At Kai’s request, Lisi gave a slight nod.
When Kai offered his arm, Lisi gently placed her hand upon it.
The two sat side by side on the sofa, looking as intimate as lovers who had been together for years.
“Now, let us discuss the gold mine, Your Grace.”
Gloven, who had been watching Kai with suspicion, perked up at the mention of the gold mine.
Yes, the gold mine.
As long as he could secure it, he couldn’t care less about Kai’s condition.
“Once you sign this contract, the gold mine will belong to Duke Wittelo.”
Kai spread out the documents.
“And Lady Iris here will become mine.”
“Y-Yes, that’s correct.”
Gloven hastily reached for a pen and pulled the papers toward himself, but Kai subtly drew them back.
“I will be taking Lady Iris back to my estate with me today.”
“What? Today itself?”
“Yes.”
“But we must prepare for the wedding… and there’s so much I still need to teach our Iris…”
“I worry that since Lady Iris is far lovelier and more refined than I imagined, Your Grace might suddenly change his mind and refuse to let his daughter go.”
“No, never! I am not a man who goes back on his word, Count.”
“And now that I’ve taken your hand…”
Kai gently placed his own hand over Lisi’s, which rested on his arm.
“I find I don’t want to let go. I shall take her with me, Your Grace.”
Gloven’s resolve wavered.
He had originally intended to send Iris away today when Alford arrived.
He still harbored a desire to marry Britney off to Count Green.
‘No, it’s fine to send Iris away. She’ll obey me without question anyway, and since Count Green is so smitten with her, I can surely use her to my advantage.’
Gloven nodded.
“Very well, then. Do as you wish.”
+++
On his way to meet Iris, the jewel of the Wittelo ducal family, Alford was ambushed by suspicious figures wearing masks.
The cowardly Alford always hired the strongest mercenaries, paying hefty sums.
He had even hired every top-ranked mercenary from the guild, yet they failed to fend off just three masked assailants.
Having been locked in a carriage for several hours already, Alford cautiously peeked out through the small window.
There had been two masked men, but now he saw a third had joined them.
“Finished already?”
Listening closely, he overheard their conversation.
“Yeah. Let him go.”
One of the masked men stomped toward the carriage, prompting Alford to quickly slump onto the seat and feign unconsciousness.
BAM-!
The masked man roughly yanked the carriage door open and jabbed Alford’s thigh with the sheath of his sword.
“Aaaaah!”
Thinking he’d been pierced by a blade, Alford screamed in terror.
“What’s wrong?”
Hearing the commotion, another masked man approached.
“I barely pricked him and he’s making this much noise. What a spineless wretch.”
“Let’s just go already.”
“Fine, fine. Hey, we’re leaving—try to live decently from now on, all right? And don’t go chasing women so much.”
The masked men snickered as they left, and Alford remained trembling in the carriage for a long while afterward.
Finally pulling himself together, he fled to the Wittelo ducal mansion—only to receive the shocking news that Iris had already become another man’s wife.
+++
As soon as they boarded the carriage, Lisi removed her hand from Kai’s arm.
Kai had treated her far better than she’d anticipated.
She had greatly enjoyed watching Britney’s face crumple the moment Kai proposed.
Britney, whose doll-like beauty had always made her the center of attention wherever she went, must have felt like a mere extra for the first time today.
‘This is only the beginning, Britney Wittelo.’
In her past life, the Wittelo ducal family had risen to prominence using the Lavent gold mine they’d received in exchange for selling Lisi.
While Lisi endured a wretched existence, barely surviving, Britney held everything in her grasp and tormented Lisi until her dying day.
‘This time, you’ll have nothing left to hold onto.’
+++
Kai remained silent all the way to the Green count’s estate.
Lisi, too, had much on her mind and was grateful for the heavy silence settling over the carriage.
“Lady Wittelo.”
When she snapped back to attention at the sound of his voice, Lisi found herself standing alone in the center of his room.
Sunlight streamed through the window behind him, casting shadows that made Kai appear like a monstrous beast.
“You may call me Lisi.”
“Very well, Lisi. You may call me Kai as well.”
“Understood, Kai.”
“From today onward, you will sleep in this room with me. In the same bed.”
Kai pointed to the large bed.
“Understood.”
“Is that all?”
“What else is needed?”
He strode toward her.
Indeed, he still carried that scent of the forest.
“You must know what sharing a bed truly implies. Or perhaps, raised as the pure flower of the Wittelo ducal house, you truly don’t understand?”
Lisi gave a soft laugh.
“I’m no fool, Kai.”
She knew all too well what it meant when a man and woman shared a bed.
While some women considered the act precious, Lisi did not.
It hadn’t mattered in her past life, and it didn’t matter now.
“Good.”
Kai’s palm brushed against the nape of Lisi’s neck. The heat of his skin made her flinch involuntarily.
“I’m not particularly fond of having to teach foolish women anything step by step.”
Kai lowered his head.
His breath grazed Lisi’s earlobe and cheek.
“The sun hasn’t even set yet…”
Lisi murmured.
“As you well know, I’m rather beastly.”
“Oh, speaking of beasts…”
Lisi gently but firmly pushed Kai’s face away from her neck.
At her straightforward refusal, Kai’s eyes narrowed slightly, amused.
“Can you show me?”
“What?”
“The beast.”
“You’ll regret it.”
“I won’t regret a thing.”
“Very well. Since my wife, whom I brought home by paying a gold mine, wishes to see it, I must oblige. Step back a little.”
Lisi retreated toward the corner, her heart swelling with anticipation for what was about to unfold.
Kai’s shadow, backlit by the setting sun, began to grow larger. His spine curved, and his sculpted face shifted in form.
Riiip-
The sound of tearing fabric echoed.
After a brief moment, a massive black wolf sat calmly where Kai had stood.
Even seated, the wolf was as tall as Lisi.
As if worried she might be frightened, the wolf remained perfectly still, like a well-trained dog.
In her past life, while drifting through death’s darkness, Lisi had witnessed this wolf’s final moments.
Betrayed, the great beast had writhed desperately until meeting a gruesome end.
Lisi slowly approached the wolf.
She hadn’t noticed before, but silver fur marked where its eyebrows would be.
She cautiously reached her hand toward the wolf’s muzzle.
The wolf slowly rubbed its muzzle against her palm.
“You’re huge.”
“Aren’t you afraid?”
Kai’s voice, now in wolf form, was deeper and rougher than before.
A growl-like rumble ran through his words.
“You’re adorable. Especially those round eyebrows.”
Wrinkles formed on Kai’s snout, revealing long, sharp fangs.
It wasn’t anger—he seemed to be smiling.
“You truly have no fear.”
“There’s nothing to fear.”
After all, she’d already died once.
Kai’s ears twitched, and in an instant, he smoothly returned to his human form.
Lisi’s eyes widened at the sight of him.
Looking down at her stunned expression, Kai smirked.
“I did warn you that you’d regret it.”
She should have realized it when she heard the fabric tearing.
His clothes, shredded during his transformation, wouldn’t magically reappear when he reverted to human form.
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?”
