Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 62
Meanwhile, a heated argument was in full swing in the duke’s office.
Eric had arrived late at the ducal residence, having just finished up official duties of the duchy.
“Your Grace. It’s someone from House Credion.”
“Is there anyone here who doesn’t know that?”
How shocked he’d been upon hearing the news all the way from the duchy.
She had always caused him trouble, yes—but never anything as disastrous as this.
Eric seemed to be going through the toughest trial of his life while serving the Duke.
“Now you understand. It would actually be easier to accept if she were merely a commoner.”
“The Duke’s consort is a commoner, rather than a marquis’s daughter. Quite amusing, Sir Eric.”
“But isn’t that precisely the problem—that she’s from House Credion? Have you forgotten, Your Grace?”
“Isn’t that very marquis’s house the one that constantly obstructs every business venture we undertake?”
“Indeed.”
The Duke, indifferent to Sir Eric’s words, merely offered a perfunctory reply.
“She’s part of the Empress’s faction. What reason could a woman from that marquis’s house—little more than the Empress’s lapdog—possibly have to become Duchess? After the fire at the ducal residence, Lady Emilia was so…”
“Enough.”
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.

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.
