Lady Devil - Chapter 136
136.
Hesitating uncharacteristically, the younger brother poked his head out of Griselda’s embrace and looked around. Then he curled up again. He mumbled, now looking quite embarrassed.
“The written language… they say a noble man doesn’t particularly need to learn it if it doesn’t interfere with his chivalry…”
“…Ah.”
There were no words of comfort. The metallic gaze, revealing an unpleasant expression with chilling intensity, was clear in Johannes’ mind as well. Father must have looked down on this child with those dark blue eyes. Johannes was also well aware of the duke’s contempt for academics in general.
Sometimes the duke would place his hand on his proud heir’s shoulder and sneer. He’d say that although some nobles claim to be scholars, it’s just a ploy by incompetent men to cover up their inadequacies. In fact, Johannes had never felt any particular sentiment or doubt about the duke’s mocking assertions.
For him, who had never failed to live up to the expectations implied by that contempt—namely, that he was different from those pathetic individuals—it wasn’t particularly something to be concerned about.
“Winfrid, you next…”
“Yeah.”
The younger brother stared at him. Johannes, who had been anxiously choosing his words with his gaze lowered without realizing it, raised his head again.
“Um. You, teach me how to write.”
“What?”
Winfrid raised his eyebrows as if in disgust.
“What would elder brother need to learn that for?”
His tone was completely incredulous. Johannes hid his inner turmoil, which felt like he might break into a cold sweat, and managed to produce a smile as natural as possible.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
