The Villain Is Obsessed With His Fake Wife

The atmosphere at the party became cold. Even the musicians stopped playing for fear of going against her wishes. Nadia hurriedly lowered her head with her pale, tired face.

 

“Ma’am. I swear I didn’t mean to do that. I’m really sorry.”

 

To be honest, being at odds with the United Kingdom nobles was not a good thing for her. It would be even more difficult for her from the United Kingdom.

 

‘But it’s still better to be picky.’

 

Everyone was hostile to her anyway. In this situation, it was impossible to appear easy.

 

‘Then you won’t be considered someone to do business with.’

 

At that time, the host of the party came forward. He was the head of Temiller in the Kingdom of Royam.

 

“Duchess Blanchett, I apologize for any inconvenience she may have caused. As the host of the party, I feel a great responsibility.”

 

Nadia looked at Temiller Sangdangju as if she had met her savior. But Temiller Sangdangju was not Nadia’s savior.

 

“Lady Morse, please formally apologize to the lady again.”

 

It has to be that way. If she made a bigger complaint here, the fire could spread from the Kingdom of Depep to the Kingdom of Royam. Nadia was very embarrassed and bit her lip.

 

“…Well, I just…”

 

“Don’t you know how big a deal this is? You showed rude language to a guest of the empire at a gathering of all the united kingdoms.”

 

Temiller top stocks came out strong.

 

“It is something that the Kingdom of Depep may punish you. Hurry and ask the lady for mercy.”

 

Finally, Nadia lowered her head with tears in her eyes.

 

“Depep’s Nadia Mors would like to formally apologize. I made the lady uncomfortable with my uncomfortable words…”

 

The party hall was filled with an uncomfortable atmosphere. For some reason, she felt sorry for Nadia, who was restless.

 

‘They were the ones who made the mistake first, but…’

 

It wasn’t like Nadia was the only one gossiping about her anyway. Of course, the ladies who were whispering with Nadia were looking at her and trembling in fear. But still, Nadia would be the only one who would have problems in the social circle.

 

‘If I don’t accept it, it will be difficult to recover.’

 

It would be difficult for a noble girl who got into trouble as soon as she entered the empire to be well-received.

 

‘This is enough.’

 

It was time for the owner of Temiller to apologize again following Nadia’s apology.

 

“Duchess, I’m sorry. If you want punishment or compensation for this mistake…”

 

“There’s no need for that.”

 

“…yes?”

 

Nadia opened her eyes wide.

 

“I am satisfied that the young lady apologized sincerely.”

 

Even the nobles around her gasped. She said calmly, patting Nadia on the shoulder.

 

“I didn’t want excessive punishment in the first place.”

 

“Then…”

 

“Lady Morse, this is your first time coming to the empire, right?”

 

Nadia nodded hesitantly.

 

‘I knew that would happen.’

 

No matter how much it was the custom of nobles to pretend not to know what was going on, there was no way things in the world would go according to custom.

 

‘Do you know what the other person will do?’

 

So most people talked behind their backs and hold themselves back, but Nadia was very immature and did something openly.

 

“The empire’s social circle is a strict place. Sometimes, even seemingly insignificant mistakes in words can become big problems.”

 

“…yes, ma’am.”

 

“I hope this incident makes Lady Morse realize that she must take responsibility for her words.”

 

She felt like she was getting tired just because she had experienced something big. Nadia bowed her head as if she was moved.

 

“Okay, thank you.”

 

“Duchess, is this really going to happen?”

 

She nodded slightly at the words of Temiller.

 

“Sure. It would be better if we move on to something as light as possible.”

 

“…Is that true?”

 

“I’m just a little tired, so I’d like to rest in the lounge.”

 

Perhaps because he was able to avoid ruining the party, the owner of the Temiller shop expressed his gratitude to her.

 

‘I guess this is enough to win some favor, right?’

 

She arrived at the break room and stretched. Temiller Sangdangju even personally walked her to the break room.

 

“If you need anything, please let me know. The organizer, Temiller, the owner of the upper house, I also would like to compensate separately for the lady.”

 

He even said this.

 

‘I guess I can call Temiller Sangjangju later and deepen our friendship.’

 

With that, today’s goal has been achieved to some extent!

 

‘Things turned out a little easier than expected.’

 

But there were still some parts that bothered her.

 

‘I don’t understand the hostility of the United Kingdoms.’

 

The attitude they showed her went beyond the evil woman of rumors and was closer to treating them as enemies. She had never had anything to do with the United Kingdom. At that time, someone knocked on the break room door.

 

“I’m sorry I’m taking a break. Is it okay if I come in?”

 

It was Nadia.

 

‘I’m sure you didn’t come here to start another fight, right?’

 

The tiring situation passed by. Fortunately, Nadia came to her side with a shy smile.

 

“Duchess Blanchett, I came to apologize to you again.”

 

“…Apologize again?”

 

“Yes. Even thinking about it again, I think I was too rude. And I want to say thank you for accepting my apology.”

 

From Nadia’s point of view, she was quite grateful.

 

‘It’s hard to take off the label of a daughter who caused trouble with the empire.’

 

Still, she came all the way alone to apologize. That was a courageous act. Especially after she was humiliated in front of so many people. She grabbed Nadia’s hand as she hesitated.

 

“I’m okay with the fact that the young lady reflected on her mistakes. So now, let’s go back to the party.”

 

“…”

 

“There won’t be much to do to make up for what happened just now.”

 

Tears flowed from the corners of Nadia’s eyes, which were blinking slowly.

 

‘Why… Are you crying?’

 

Both Betty and Erich have been crying in front of her one after another lately. The problem was that she didn’t know why she was crying. She asked, patting Nadia on the shoulder.

 

“Why are you crying? I’m sure it’s not unfair because it was earlier, right?”

 

“Oh, no. It doesn’t matter because the host of this party is my godfather.”

 

…Was the Temiller merchant your godfather?

 

‘For some reason, he seemed very grateful.’

 

It seemed he was grateful to save his goddaughter’s face.

 

“I just think I was so bad. I didn’t see you in person or have any evidence, but I just said harsh things about you.”

 

Nadia looked at her in confusion.

 

“If my lady is so kind, why did Miryu say that?”

 

“Miryu? Miryu Jutit?”

 

“Oh, that’s right. Actually, I was close friends with Miryu in the United Kingdom. I guess that’s why I wanted to be even meaner to the lady.”

 

Her name, which she had forgotten for a long time, came to the surface.

 

‘Miryu Jutit.’

 

Her heart sank.

 

* * *

 

Miryu Jutit. It was one of the families that stooped to become friendly with the Libertan Dukes. What was unusual was that Baron Jutit misunderstood something and sent Mireu to Libertan thinking she was her little playmate.

 

‘Normally, they strictly prevented outsiders from coming.’

 

For some reason, Miryu was able to come to Libertan again and again. She really liked Miryu. When she met Miryu, she was left alone, so she was not harassed. Even when she was imprisoned, she was released, and even though she was starving, she was able to have refreshments. More than anything, she really missed people. That’s why she wanted to be friends with Miryu so much.

 

‘I thought she was a friend…’

 

But Miryu seemed to be different.

 

“I wish I could eat these precious snacks as much as I want.”

 

“…I can only eat when you come.”

 

She finally mustered up the courage to speak to her carefully.

 

“Because I offended the Duchess, I was locked up in the punishment cell. So I couldn’t eat anything.”

 

At that time, Miryu muttered in admiration.

 

“I envy you.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“I’m a dirty commoner… It looks so special. You know, did anything else happen?”

 

Miryu persistently inquired about the abuse she experienced at Libertan.

 

‘Do I have a friend now?’

 

She was glad she had a place to vent. But she started behaving like that, she didn’t know why she was so disappointed in her.

 

* * *

 

“My lady. I’m here.”

 

It seemed like they had just left the party, but they had already arrived at Blanchett’s residence. She smiled bitterly as the thought of Miryu flashed through her mind.

 

‘You know you’re special, right?’

 

After something went completely wrong, Miryu did not come to Libertan.

 

‘I didn’t hear any news from the outside world until I got married.’

 

At the end she thought the lie he had told was so big that she was bullied into not coming. Now she saw that she was Miryu. She has been telling all kinds of lies since before.

 

‘…I thought people just hated me.’

 

For some reason, she didn’t want to go straight into the mansion, so she walked near the garden.

 

‘Have you grown a little more today?’

 

Eden Rose planted with Undine Tier. Among the rose bushes were growing several Eden Roses, larger than the other Eden Roses. It was bigger than her two fists.

 

-It is growing by receiving spirit power.

 

-If you watch a little longer, good things will happen.

 

Since she was told it was a good thing, she diligently inspected the flower every day, and there was no significant change except that it grew in size.

 

‘No. Erich got pricked by her rose.’

 

When the Eden Rose first bloomed, Erich took the initiative.

 

‘My lady. It could be dangerous, so I’ll touch it first.’

 

She was stabbed by a suddenly sharp rose thorn and bled, and Raymond, who was looking at it, muttered, ‘Erich, I have a feeling of déjà vu. I think I’ve experienced this before…’.

 

When she thought back to that incident, which ended with laughter, she felt a little better.

 

‘I need to find out more about Miryu.’

 

What kind of lies had she been telling about her? At that time, a soft voice was heard from behind her.

 

“Did you have a good time at the party?”

 

“John?”

 

John held her chin and examined her expression.

 

“What kind of guy is this?”

 

She shook her head in response to all the nonsense being said. Nadia, who solved the problem so well, shouldn’t get angry for no reason.

 

“Nothing happened.”

 

“What does your expression look like?”

 

“I told you there wasn’t one.”

 

“If that’s you, then that’s probably it.”

 

John let out a light sigh and raised the corners of his mouth.

 

“Then, as your husband, should I try to change your mood?”

 

“How do I feel?”

 

As she blinked, John smiled dangerously.

 

“We just happened to have a promise.”

 

…What was the promise?

 

* * *

 

It was a promise to wash her feet. She felt embarrassed for some reason, but she couldn’t break the promise she made to John. Fortunately, they decided to do it alone in the room, but somehow it seemed more dangerous because it was just the two of them.

 

“Ma’am.”

 

First, John sat down in his chair. He placed a soft cushion on the back of the chair so that he could lean back loosely. Then he began to wash her feet, slowly pouring water on them.

 

“What about the water? It’s okay?”

 

“It’s just right.”

 

John carefully placed water on his feet. John’s fingers slipped between his toes. A large hand with vivid veins delicately caressed her feet. He bends his fingers round and sweeps down the joints of his toes. It was a kind, yet restrained gesture that seemed somehow oppressive.

 

‘Strange.’

 

A strange sensation kept coming and irritating her, as if her feet were no longer the ones she knew before. His thighs and calves were pulled by a tingling sensation.

 

“Isn’t it inconvenient?”

 

“It’s awkward.”

 

There was only the sound of water lapping.

 

“Hmm.”

 

John grabbed her leg in his hard-boned grip. And suddenly John put his mouth close to her ankle. Before his breath even touched her. John looked at her with his red gaze and smiled prettily. Soon, he took out his red tongue and slowly began to wet it with his tongue. An unfamiliar sensation hit her between her ankles. It felt like hot, soft lips were putting a brand on her ankle. It looked like she would be shackled to prevent her from escaping. She moved her feet to get rid of the tickling feeling, but she couldn’t move because of John’s strong strength.

 

This time he grabbed her hand. John continued to suck her finger, rubbing his tongue between her hands, squeezing it, then pulling it out and licking it persistently and thickly, as if showing off. Like a thirsty person.

 

“Jo, John! What are you doing now-”

 

He didn’t stop at what she said. The soft flesh on the inside of his wrist was gently licked. John gently nuzzled the wet nape of his neck, then gave a long lick down his collarbone.

 

“I got wet too.”

 

In that state, he looked at her intently. Lust and longing poured out from his eyes. The feeling was especially strong because it was touching bare skin. John slowly kissed the area where the veins were visible. Then, step by step, he tasted the inside of her collarbone again with his lips. His tongue ran warmly over her soft skin. He literally went up to her neck. It was so dizzying that it was overwhelming.

 

“The execution of the Libertan Dukes has been postponed.”

 

He muttered softly near her neck.

 

“For you.”

 

She froze and made eye contact with John.
