The Monstrous Grand Duke’s Fake Lady

The Seirart Empire is the home to a monstrous Grand Duke.

It was not certain how these rumors of him were shaped and pervaded. However, some declared that it was because of his deviant appearance while others had remarked on his vicious salacity.

Nevertheless, the horror had been inflicted to everyone. In fact, those who had neither seen him before nor understood him thoroughly, were already terrified of him.

The monster who was also known as the “Wolf of the Imperial Family”, had done nothing for the nation. Apparently, the rumor that those who were close to him were even killed without any hesitation was more than enough to impose fear upon the public.

Even though people were horrified, they still made him into an interesting gossip. As the stories revolving around the nobility were always hidden from the peering eyes of the commoners, the rumors then grew increasingly vicious as days went by.

On the other hand, it was decided that the monstrous Grand Duke would be introduced to his fiancée during springtime.

The two families had never seen each other before as there were only correspondences and greetings transpired between the heads of the families. Nevertheless, the engagement uniting the two ménages had already been determined by The Understanding Mountain that was in accordance to the oratory.

There were complaints surrounding the Count’s formalities, of course, especially in terms of responding to the engagement as it can be seen to be filled with power relations. However, these were ultimately forgotten. This was due to the rumors encircling the monstrous Grand Duke that were far more interesting than a single person’s miniscule protest.

“Vivian!”

The sentiment was also accurate to the Countess of Britton, who was the one betrothed to that very monstrous Grand Duke.

Vivian was with her friend happily when she got startled upon hearing her name being called. There it was, the chief of the city who was looking for her.

“I just want to ask, are you going to do it in January?”

“Yes? But, I’ve done it already.”

Vivian was not only baffled, she also hadn’t the slightest idea that her face would be stretched as well.

“Even if she said that you haven’t done it at all?”

“I have…”

As Vivian yelled, she suddenly felt embarrassed and slowly closed her lips. I think I know who did it. Nevertheless, she also knew that she could never win.

“Go and kneel to the lady, now.”

Vivian stopped herself to say something and gave a slight nod. There was only one person who could have done something as firmly as that.

When she had arrived before the lady’s presence, Vivian sighed softly. The life she led had been full with obstructions, so she knew that she would never be able to avoid this.

“Do come in, Miss Vivian.”

As the door parted, she could see the face of the young countess, a face that conveyed discomfort. Vivian fell to her knees as soon as their eyes were locked on each other.

“I apologize for my mistake.”

Vivian had realized that this was not a trivial problem as indicated by the lady’s tone of voice. At that moment, she could not do much. Even if she hadn’t done anything wrong, she still had to just prostrate herself.

“We are very sorry. I beg your pardon. This is all my fault.”

“This is so half-hearted. Are you just repeating the same thing that someone asked you to?”

“I am very sorry.”

She fixed her vivacious gaze on Vivian, who was still on the ground. Then, she slowly arose from her seat and began to approach the trembling Vivian.

“Look up.”

At the moment she uttered those words, people began to move vigorously.

Vivian had panicked as she writhed uncontrollably but it only lasted for a mere second. Her transfixed grasp on Vivian had made her yielded.

Just when she had gotten closer, Vivian’s complexion turned blue. As she grew up under strong parenting, she then turned out to be a character who could never be considerate over other people.

Vivian’s complexion had changed to purple this time as she recalled the corporal punishment that was usually inflicted by this infamous young lady. At this very moment, she hopelessly wanted her feet to miraculously become her hands.
