Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 24
The duke, busy with his duties, suddenly remembered something and turned to his chief steward with a question.
“How is she doing?”
“She is currently attending basic etiquette lessons.”
As soon as the duke turned his attention back to the documents after asking, his secretary Eric, who had been standing beside him, felt utterly exasperated.
Unable to hold back any longer, Eric finally blurted out the questions he’d been bottling up.
“Your Grace, is she truly a commoner? They say she’s remarkably well-mannered for someone of her station.”
At Eric’s words, the duke scoffed.
“Naturally. She’s the woman I chose myself.”
The mere thought of Adeline, pretending to be a commoner and taking lessons in basic etiquette from the start, made the duke unable to suppress his laughter.
‘She must be suffering terribly, forced to endure the exact same lessons.’
And for the only daughter of a marquis’s house to be paraded as a mere mistress—what a humiliating disgrace.
Cassis, satisfied, shifted his gaze back to the paperwork.
“What? Don’t tell me she’s secretly an illegitimate child of some noble! Your Grace, what on earth happened?”
Despite Eric’s persistent questions, the duke refused to answer, prompting Eric to step closer.
Every single mystery left Eric unbearably frustrated.

Artemtisforaday Chapter 25Ok. This Duke is pissing me off. Not sure how much longer I can put up with his cruelty towards her…. I know this is only 120 chapters long, but my tolerance for ML tormenting the FL is LOW!
Miioo Chapter 25Hahaha, what does the writer feel when he writes this nonsense? They’re truly disgusting. Revenge isn’t done like this. I can’t stand this.
Aelthia Chapter 25So i guess the crown prince and the Duke are trashi and trashy.

They said the new mistress was extravagantly wasteful—ordering custom dresses th
Disgusting! I’m so disappointed. It’s a terrible novel. Poor Adeline, how could that vile bastard treat her like that? I hate him.

The Duke, who had been listening silently, felt the corners of his mouth curl up
Is he enjoying humiliating her? Is this the person Adeline loved? A filthy bastard who enjoys her pain and humiliation. I can’t bear this. I really want to cry. It’s so disgusting that he doesn’t love her at all.

Without even fully glancing inside the den, the Duke turned away without hesitat
Someone who loves wouldn’t do this and take pleasure in exposing her body and insulting people.

Seriously. If I were palace staff, I would have quit a LONG time ago. Why do these people stay only to get beaten up and killed?
Poor Adeline…. I know she lied and such, but she doesn’t really deserve the things that are coming her way… I hope the ML improves his attitude towards her soon!
