Trapped in the Mad Duke's Snare (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 93
“So….”
Cassis lifted his head, locking eyes with the gray irises beyond the teacup.
After a long silence, it was Severus who finally spoke.
Setting down the steaming cup, he asked,
“I am curious as to why you summoned me here at such a late hour.”
Cassis’s gaze drifted past him toward the large window behind.
Beyond it stretched the imperial palace garden, blanketed in inky darkness.
It was so deep into night that, without the candles scattered throughout the study, one would scarcely recognize another’s face.
Severus’s eyes flickered in the candlelight.
Those emotionless eyes were no different now than they had always been.
Countless thoughts churned across the inscrutable man’s face.
This man was both the true culprit and mastermind behind the death of his mother, Empress Emilia.
Whenever Cassis recalled his mother’s desperate expression, urging him to flee from the burning ducal residence—where she should have perished in the flames—he would jolt awake even in the middle of sleep.
He wanted to grab Severus by the collar and demand an answer:
Why had the Empire’s most noble woman been deposed and forced to meet such a miserable end in a ducal mansion?
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
Sometimes time is truly the only cure. It took Cassis time. I cannot imagine the immense guilt she feels knowing everything.
Wow, I am feeling pity for Adeline’s mother…
