The housekeeper, rising with difficulty, limped towards the shelf and picked up a napkin. Then, as she tried to wipe the blood on her instep,
“What are you doing? I should get it first. Can’t you see blood on my precious shoes?”
The housekeeper stared at her red shoes with a vacant expression. Although there was blood, it wasn’t particularly noticeable.
“This won’t clean well once it dries. Even if someone like you works to the bone for a year, you can’t afford it. Shouldn’t you clean it first?”
The housekeeper stared at Dohanna’s shoes with vacant eyes, then staggered towards her. Eventually, she handed over the napkin she held in her hand.
“Are you telling me to wipe the shoes stained with your blood? You should do it yourself.”
She muttered to the housekeeper with a sneer. Without saying a word, the housekeeper slowly crouched down and wiped the heels of her shoes.
“Right. Wipe it more cleanly.”
Dohanna, looking at the housekeeper kneeling in front of her, expressed satisfaction with a contented smile.
[Dash]Nyaahhh.At that moment, Dohanna’s cat let out a faint cry, trembling.
“Oh, surprised?”
As Dohanna reached out, the cat, seeming startled, tried to avoid her touch. However, Dohanna was much faster than the weak kitten.
“Did that ugly lady surprise you? Don’t worry; I’ll scold her. Don’t be afraid.”
She rubbed her face against the face of the cat trying to escape from her arms.
“I won’t leave that son of a b**** alone! How dare he raise his foot here as if this place is nothing? I should kick his XX, XX him, and X him!”
The one hurling an enormous string of profanities was Rose’s mother.
“Mother, calm down.”
Rose was bewildered by her unfamiliar behavior.
“That guy seems to be continuing to come. I saw him saying he would come back until the end with both eyes wide open.”
“He doesn’t come to his senses even after being struck by lightning. This won’t do, Demon. Looks like I have to step forward.”
Rose quickly sat her down again in the face of her unexpected actions.
“What are you going to do? The opponent is from the Wence Viscount family. It’s not appropriate to act emotionally like this.”
Although she could understand the anger of parents seeing their precious child treated like this, Rose could not support their actions.
“Hah! Wence Viscount family! Just 30 years ago, they were nothing. Our Serviat family has a more prestigious history!”
Demon shouted in anger, unable to contain himself.
But seeking the former glory was even more pathetic.
Regardless of the past, Rose’s family had fallen, and the Wence Viscount family was thriving.
Demon knew this fact well. He roared, banging the table forcefully.
“Father, calm down. The Wence Viscount family will soon fall. So don’t get too worked up.”
If following the original work, the Wence Viscount family would indeed fall.
Although the original was twisted, the downfall of the Wence Viscount family was an inevitable outcome.
As long as Duke Artem and the Wence Viscount family were in conflict, one of them had to collapse sooner or later.
Rose had no intention of breaking her promise with the Duke. She had already sailed in the same boat as Duke Artem, and her determination to save the Duke remained unwavering.
In Rose’s confident voice, Demon didn’t ask anything. He thought Rose’s words were just to appease her feelings.
“…I’m sorry. I became a father and showed you this side of me.”
He spoke with a calm voice, seemingly regaining his composure. Rose’s mother silently held Demon’s hand.
Demon felt extremely uneasy.
‘What if Rose… falls for that scoundrel again?’
Even though Rose showed a firm stance, thinking about what she had done, getting engaged to Eric, made him anxious.
Didn’t she vow to have a baby, cause a commotion claiming she would die…?
Listing Rose’s actions would be endless. As parents who witnessed everything, they couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Especially, if Rose’s emotions were just a momentary anger due to Eric’s affair, she might try to return to him.
‘Eric, that damn son of a b****, I have to hide Rose in a place where he can’t find her.’
They couldn’t leave Rose to sway.
Moving together would inevitably attract Eric’s pursuit.
Independently isolating her was even more dangerous. That scoundrel might seduce their daughter again and take her back to the Wence Viscount family.
Demon wanted to decisively sever the connection between Rose and Eric.
‘If it’s a place Eric can’t find…’
As Demon contemplated, someone’s face came to his mind.
“…Right, they exist.”
After organizing his thoughts, Demon spoke to Rose with a serious expression.
“How about staying in Duke Artem’s mansion for a while?”
“What?!”
In response to her father’s sudden words, Rose, who was unconsciously sipping her coffee, spat it out.
“Dear, what are you talking about? Why send our Rose so far away?”
Seated beside Demon, Riviera tapped his chest, finding it unreasonable.
Without even wiping the coffee off her lips, Rose stared blankly at her father in surprise.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
