Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 61
Larie entered the Empress’s reception room alongside her.
Empress Bergamo sat on a plush sofa and gestured for Larie to take the seat opposite her.
Though exhausted after managing her tea party schedule, the Empress showed no sign of slouching or poor posture.
The Crown Prince had long since surpassed adulthood.
Even her hair, now beginning to turn white, seemed merely another element enhancing her noble grace.
Watching her, Larie’s eyes began to gleam with even greater desire.
Seeing in Larie a gaze so similar to her own, the Empress sank into thought.
Having risen stubbornly from the position of a concubine to the throne of Empress, she could easily read ambition in Larie’s eyes.
“Larie, I prefer honest people—those who reveal their desires openly, without reserve. Just like your gaze right now.”
Hearing the Empress’s words, Larie’s eyes shone even brighter, and she spoke with firm resolve.
“Your Majesty, I wish to become just like you.”
Count Estillen, who had only sons until Larie’s late arrival, cherished her dearly. Because of this, there was nothing Larie lacked—whatever she desired was already in her hands before she even felt true longing.
Yet the one thing she wanted but couldn’t have was Duke Torpeo.
It wasn’t love she felt for him. Larie simply believed he was the finest man to elevate her status.
“Milady! Duke Torpeo has married a commoner!”
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!

As was customary at celebratory banquets, the attending men began slipping away
How brazen of her—she wanted to be in a higher position, and now she’s shifting the blame for everything that happened onto poor Adeline.
At the mention of her attire, Larie’s expression turned icy—but only briefly. Sh
She deserves it; this is the result of the greed that blinded her, as she sought to harm Adeline.
It all felt as though it had happened only because she—meant to die as the Crown
Has she forgotten that the Duke would be long dead if she hadn’t saved him at the villa?

How shameless of her—can’t she see that he is avoiding her and is married?
It wouldn’t surprise me if the crown prince stabs the empress some day.
Wow, I thought these two had made progress. I’m a bit surprised by the Duke’s reaction but he has been ill and chronic illness can affect your thought process.
