This Life, I Will Save The Duke (20 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 36
When Kaius met those golden eyes, as if holding moonlight within them, his Adam’s apple twitched unconsciously.
It was precisely those eyes that had never left his mind since the very first day he saw them.
The silvery hair cascading past her waist fluttered in the breeze drifting through the window, dazzling like the surface of a sunlit lake. Straightening his slouched posture at the sight of her surreal beauty, Kaius gazed at her in silence.
Ariel was considerably flustered by Kaius’s unexpectedly calm demeanor. She had expected his coldness after revealing a form he clearly disliked, yet now emboldened, she slowly descended the stairs step by step. Stopping at a height level with Kaius’s eyes, Ariel tentatively spoke.
“Um… don’t you feel repulsed by this appearance?”
Even after her question, Kaius continued to stare at her wordlessly for a long while. It was unmistakably the same face as before—but different. He was astonished that merely the color of her eyes and hair could alter her entire aura so drastically.
So this was why she’d hidden her true appearance?
In that instant, every doubt within him resolved itself naturally.
Just as a woman of humble origins would find her beauty a poison, a princess from a poor and powerless nation would inevitably be sold off to the highest bidder.
No proud woman could possibly endure such a fate.
Suddenly, Emperor Hart came to mind. What if the Emperor had seen Ariel’s true form before their marriage? He was certainly not the sort to stand idly by while his future wife outshone Empress Catherine in beauty. Given how openly hostile the Emperor had become lately, he might very well rescind the imperial decree and simply purchase Ariel with money—something as easy for him as flipping his palm.
Before their journey to Retiana, Kaius wouldn’t have cared if that happened—but now, Ariel was already his woman.
He had decided it thus, and so it was. Therefore, he had to protect what was his.
“…Kaius?”
Seeing his expression grow increasingly cold, Ariel cautiously called out to him.
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!
