The Duke's Flower is Precarious (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 68
Amber-colored whiskey filled the short glass resting on the mahogany table. The rich aroma of ripe fruit and a faint smoky scent permeated the entire drawing room.
“Go ahead and drink.”
Kaeron handed Rainian a glass filled with whiskey and raised his own. Seeing Kaeron down his in one gulp, Rainian likewise lifted his glass and poured its contents into his mouth.
“Ugh……”
An involuntary groan escaped Rainian as the alcohol burned fiercely down his esophagus. At Rainian’s reaction, Kaeron’s lips curved slightly.
“Oh dear… Are you alright? Despite appearances, this whiskey is actually quite strong.”
“……I’m fine.”
Though he claimed to be fine, to Rainian—someone who rarely drank—this was essentially pure liquor.
‘I let my guard down…’
Judging from the fragrant aroma and seeing Kaeron drink it straight, he had assumed the alcohol content would be mild. As if to mock his misjudgment, Kaeron nonchalantly refilled his glass and downed it again without a hint of discomfort.
‘I must stay focused. He’s precisely the sort of opponent I can’t afford to relax around for even a moment.’
Moreover, the Grand Duke was famously intolerant of wasted time. During Kaeron’s previous visit to the Lisandro Empire, many had wanted to meet him privately, yet none succeeded easily.
Thus, there had to be a clear reason why the Grand Duke himself had proposed meeting with Rainian—and Rainian already had a good idea what it was.
Narrowing his eyes as if to steady his thoughts, Rainian heard Kaeron’s low voice near his ear.
“To be honest, I’ve wanted to arrange a meeting like this for some time—ever since I heard Prince Rainian would be coming to Jupiter as an exchange student.”
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!!!
Can’t wait for second prince to die . How dare he touch grand Duchess with his filthy hand.
I hope Kareon kills first prince . But maybe that’s not going to happen because of diplomatic relations between kingdoms. If at that moment aidel would have remained unconscious ,second prince definitely would have died .It’s unfortunate , that bastard should have died on spot.
I am blushing even though I don’t know what withdrawal symptoms is.
