Chapter 25

Ian finally realized the reason for her eccentricity.

Feeling miserable, he swept his palms over his face.

‘So her name was Laritte.’

A classic myth of a goddess, who had a terrible end because of her promiscuity, was the origin of that name.

He knew, at a glance, how Laritte must have been treated in this house.

Unaware of Ian’s attitude, Rose continued.

“I apologize for changing the bride, Duke. I will do my best to be your Duchess, in return, please forgive me with your generosity.”

She was annoyed when her father had sent such a girl.

However, to Ian, that illegitimate girl was a very important person. She, for his sake, came back to the Empire and safely allowed him to enter the royal palace. Many would admire him for using a girl like her and then, take Rose as his bride to succeed his generations.

Redra was very much aware of Ian’s hardened expression.

“So, Captain, shall we return to the Manor of Reinhardt?”

Originally, it was a virtue for a subordinate to make a move without a special order from his master so that his master could stay in a noble position.

But Redra completely misinterpreted Ian’s idea.

“The bride……”
“The circumstances of the Duke…..”

Few words from the conversation between Rose and Redra buzzed into his ears from time to time. It was almost as if he couldn’t pay any attention to them.

Images of Laritte’s serene face kept flashing before him.

He, who was holding his head in his palms, hit the wall with great strength.

Bam!

The silver-plated wall, from the impact of the Swordmaster’s fist, now had a couple of cracks. Crumbles of it fell to the shiny floor.

In an instant, silence filled the room.

He panted, breathing hard in a burning rage.

“Would you…..”
“……”
“……shut your damn mouth. Both of you.”

He gritted as his eyes scanned both of their faces.
