Certainly! Here’s the translated passage:
Clang!
The rosepatterned teacup fell to the floor and shattered into pieces.
“Oh dear, I’m sorry! I’m not accustomed to such occasions, so I must have been too nervous.”
With an exaggerated look of confusion, Adel hurriedly picked up the teacup.
“It’s alright, madam. The teacup is broken, so be careful.”
April said just in time.
“Ah!”
Blood oozed from Adel’s finger.
“Are you alright, madam? Call the doctor at once!”
April yelled at the servant, but Adel waved her off.
“No, it’s just a small cut. A handkerchief will do.”
Then Adel smiled at Seira.
“I’m sorry, Seira. Could you take off my shoe?”
“What… did you say?”
As Seira looked at her incredulously, Adel nonchalantly extended her foot.
“My foot seems wet, and as you see, I’ve hurt my hand.”
It was Seira, who had been calling Adel her stepmother and behaving affectionately. She couldn’t refuse.
In this situation, it was something that could be commanded to a daughter.
“Hurry.”
Everyone looked on with interest. Except for April, no one was unaware of the relationship between the two.
Reluctantly, Seira knelt in front of Adel and sat down. Adel naturally placed her foot on Seira’s knee.
“Thank you for helping, Seira.”
Chuckles and whispers were heard from here and there. By tomorrow morning, the gossip would spread throughout the social circle.
The jewel of the empire, Seira Oswald, knelt before Calaim’s wicked Adel!
Just the thought of this disgrace made Seira’s fingertips tremble, but she didn’t know what was to come.
“How nice the two of you look together.”
April, who knew nothing, was pleased on her own. Then Adel chimed in.
“Seira often massages my feet.”
“You’re insane?”
Seira looked up at Adel with a furious face, mouthing the words. Adel turned away and smiled at the Empress.
“She says she’ll massage your feet now. Her fingers are long, so it’s really refreshing.”
“Oh my, that must be so.”
April clasped her hands with an admiring expression.
Adel looked back at Seira with a gentle smile.
“Seira, how about massaging the Empress’s feet instead of mine? She seems curious about your skills.”
Seira’s face turned red with anger, but she forced a smile.
“Mother, wouldn’t that be disrespectful to the Empress? The feet shouldn’t be touched by just anyone…”
April spoke up quickly.
“I don’t mind! I’m curious, Seira’s skills.”
“It’s fine, Seira. Go ahead.”
Adel nodded gracefully, as if granting permission.
The Empress’s maids, who had been watching with interest, sided with Adel.
“It seems the Empress is really curious, Seira.”
“Be envious. It’s a great opportunity to show Seira’s skills.”
They were not siding with Adel to help her. The nature of high society was such. They would bow to the powerful, but if they showed weakness or a gap, they wanted to pull them down and tear them apart.
Everyone was looking for an opportunity to mock Seira.
“Well, then.”
Seira had no choice but to kneel before the Empress and remove her shoes.
“My, your fingers are really long and beautiful. They must be truly refreshing.”
“What an honorable opportunity to massage the Empress’s feet.”
The women were fully engrossed in making fun of Seira when,
Adel surreptitiously switched the Empress’s dessert plate with Seira’s.
This was the classic example of ‘reaping what you sow.’
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Pooouuung!
The women, who had been sipping tea and laughing heartily, suddenly stopped and looked at each other as if to say, ‘it couldn’t be.’
Pooouuung, gurgle… gurgle…!
At that moment, the repeated, vivid sound left everyone dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
“Mrs. Hans, are you alright?”
Seira then asked Mrs. Hans, who was beside her, with a caring face.
“Me, me?”
Mrs. Hans looked around in confusion. If it went on like this, she would become the protagonist of this monstrous sound.
“Yes, I’m perfectly fine!”
But Seira took her hand and asked the Empress for permission.
“Empress, may I take a walk with Mrs. Hans for a moment?”
Certainly! Here’s the translation of the passage you provided:
“Yes, do it like that.”
Adel nodded her head quickly, embarrassed.
“No, I’m fine! Really, I’m fine!”
Seira comforted Mrs. Hans, who was screaming with her face turning red.
“Everyone goes through this, there’s no need to be embarrassed. Let’s go, ma’am.”
“It’s not me! Really, it’s not me!”
Mrs. Hans desperately insisted that there was nothing wrong with her menstrual symptoms, but Seira, who was in a great hurry, exerted her strength to drag her away.
“You can’t help it if you come from a vulgar background.”
“Indeed. What does she eat to make this rotten smell……”
The princess’s maids looked at Mrs. Hans’s chest, holding their noses.
Mrs. Hans was wealthy but not of noble birth. She had been able to set foot in society thanks to following Seira. So the princess’s maids secretly despised her.
Adel was once again determined to keep her distance from the social world.
And shortly after, the head servant approached the princess and spoke.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
