I really hate it! (7)
Marius also shut his mouth belatedly, probably wanting her to miss what he said, but only blatant disgust was in Lily’s green eyes.
If it had been her past self long ago, she would have tried to deny what she heard. She used to do that a lot. But now, Lily was a completely different person.
Not to mention Talin and Buttercup. The magistrates were no longer her people who worshipped her, and her knights and her servants, the young people of Cadis, also loved her.
Vlad. Although obsessive and clumsy, she now knew his heart was as huge as a waterfall.
A man’s affection. She was a woman who could tell when a man had affection for her.
“How could you say that…”
The feelings of the prince were something she never wanted. It was more insulting than gossip about her morality. No, in the first place…
“Your Highness. No matter how much my husband and the emperor deny each other’s bloodline, they are still relatives. In that case, I’m considered your aunt by blood. How is that…”
The fact that he was an evil authority tormenting her husband was the second problem.
His stomach churned. It was said that there was a time when incestuous marriage was common among noble bloodlines. It was a custom that disappeared a long time ago.
Marius hurriedly tried to fix the situation. “No, I… I didn’t mean that. Forget it, it was just an unintentional mistake. Finding you attractive never happened.” He tried to make excuses that it was uttered impulsively, but it was counterproductive to Lily again.
How can a person speak words he has never thought of before? He is a really shameless man.
The more he spoke, the more her jaw tightened. She had to get out of here first. She bent her knees to say goodbye and pushed him away. “I’m sorry, my lord. As I said, I was on my way to meet my husband. Now I’m going to go see my husband, so just let me go. Please.”
Before the prince could answer, Lily hurriedly took a step past him. It was quite rude, but neither of them cared about such a trifle. As she was about to pass him, he grabbed Lily’s wrist.
“Wait, Duchess!”
“Let go!” Lily raised her pretty voice and waved his hand away.
Marius was startled by her sharp reaction, and he quickly released her. His face was red in shame for what he had done. “Oh, it wasn’t intentional. In a hurry, I stopped making such an example….”
“How can you be so rude!” she screamed, grabbing her reddened wrist and bringing it to her chest. Her face was red. The disgrace and anger seemed to erupt from her cheeks.
“Rude. How could you say that to me….”
He didn’t think she was a woman with such a violent reaction. Marius just stood there, stunned.
“I am a married woman. As I said, if my husband is related by blood to you, I am your aunt!” Lily was in the most exasperated state. She was so furious. “Your Highness was so hostile to my husband that you fought him and even wounded him. How much do you disdain my husband and me? Putting your status in the forefront of cultivating desires for a married woman. If that is not tyranny, what is it, Your Highness?!”
“I’ve always put my position first. I never did that to you.”
“What if my husband wasn’t a man powerful enough to stand up to Your Highness? Maybe if he was a viscount or a baron. No. Maybe if he was a commoner by birth!”
Her rage was just that. The attitude of reflexively trying to understand what kind of person was standing in front of her.
How arrogant was this prince? With a few words, he despised Vlad, who had dedicated his life to the empire he hated so much. At the very least, trying to touch her, his wife, was also not a provocation towards Vlad.
“I never meant to treat you so maliciously.” Marius was even a little embarrassed.
“I will go. I really hate Your Highness!”
“Wait, calm down and listen to me…!”
The moment Marius reaches for Lily, bang!
A deafening roar struck the two of them. Lily let out a small scream and grabbed her head as the dust flew through the wall as it shattered. Marius’ strong screams intermingled in the echoes of the noise. Lily’s eyes widened when she turned her head.
