────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────Chapter 9 – Part 3
They were the same people as them.
The faces of the men who looked at her mother were the same as those people… Men that were fascinated by her fragrant body. They stole her lips with their stinky mouth, pulled her immature chests together, and rubbed it violently.
With their rough hands touching her secret place, she despaired when she knew she was going to be like her mother.
Recalling that past, Olivia said with a grim expression.
“It’s okay, because nothing happened…”
“….”
“Because Brother Kevin came to save me.”
If Kevin hadn’t come out to find her, she would have suffered terribly.
Kevin hugged her as he punished the men for touching Olivia. At that moment, she thought it was better to depend on this man than to meet those people on the street.
“I was sick for a few days. And, I must have told him everything about my mother unknowingly. It’s scary, I was scared.”
“….”
“Kevin said if I left the mansion, I would die like my mother because there are a lot of men like that out there.”
“….”
“The Kingdom of Roheim is at war and will be destroyed soon, so I will not be treated as a noble, and I have to live like my mother on the street.”
“….”
“I didn’t want to be like Mother. I didn’t want to die like my mother…!”
Olivia has always lived with fear.
Will she ever die like that? Will she live such a life…?
As Kevin said, in the world she experienced, all the men were like beasts. Of all the dogs, Kevin seemed to be the best. It was scary outside, so it was better for her to be protected by the Duchy than to face multiple threats in an unfamiliar foreign country.
It was strange that the protection was free, and in the end, she opened up her body to Kevin.
“Didn’t you trust Leon, the Duke? You could even send him a letter. Maybe, he could help.”
She shook her head at Jane’s question.
“How can I ask a person at war to help me. Besides, how can I tell him what happened to me?”
“….”
“Actually, I wrote him a letter asking if he was okay or okay. There was no reply either.”
“You didn’t get a reply?”
“It wasn’t very sad since people who are busy at war won’t reply to me.”
Jane closed her eyes and let out a small sigh.
During the war, the probability of the letter arriving was low, and even if it did, it was even likely that someone had stolen the letter.
“I never had a chance to talk to him when he came back. Before that, Kevin and the employees had already said that about me.”
“….”
“At first, I was angry because I thought this person didn’t believe me either. So, when asked if I really couldn’t live without a man, I said yes…”
“…Why?”
“They are friendly brothers, Kevin and the Duke.”
“….”
“It is natural to believe what he said rather than what someone like me said. What if I lied, and he kicked me out?”
“Haa—”
Jane let out a low sigh.
Even though It was frustrating, it was too much of a risk for Olivia to tell the truth. She couldn’t tell the difference between Leon’s sincerity and sarcasm and didn’t know what kind of heart he had, so she must have been more frightened.
Her fear of the outside world made her unable to venture out on her own.
Jane asked cautiously.
“So, what did His Excellency say?”
“He asked if he could satisfy me.”
“No, that human… no, that person, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“Because he was thinking of brother.”
“Ah…really… Olivia this relationship is so…”
After hearing all of this so far, Jane was furious with her tragic life, and then she sighed at each other’s attitudes that seemed to incite rather than resolve the endless misunderstandings surrounding the two.
“What did Olivia say?”
“…I said I would.”
‘So, it looked like they had slept together.’
Jane sighed and shook her head. Her head was aching at the flow of the complex emotions. Olivia could have turned down Leon’s offer that he wanted to satisfy her was absurd though she agreed.
“Why?”
Jane knew the answer, but she deliberately asked. It was because she wanted the oppressed to speak her own mind properly.
“Because…”
Olivia hesitated as she glanced at Jane.
Can she dare to say this…?
Her mind was so presumptuous, what would Jane do when she says in her own words like looking at the tree, which she can’t even climb?
Olivia was worried, but of all the unknowns, if there was one thing she could be most certain of, it was her own heart. Eventually, she said, clutching the hem of her skirt with trembling hands.
“Because I like His Excellency.”
As she vomited those words, it felt as cool as if she had burst into tears.
“….”
“From the first time I came to this country, the first time I met him, I have always liked him.”
“….”
“If I didn’t accept the offer, I didn’t think I would ever have any chance to reach out to him, so I wanted to embrace him.”
“….”
“I was hoping that the person I couldn’t even covet would hold me.”
She smiled bitterly.
“When I slept with brother Kevin, I already thought I couldn’t be his bride.”
Jane smiled bitterly at Olivia’s sorrowful heart. She couldn’t even imagine how painful it must have been for her.
“Two days ago, while he was away, brother Kevin came back and came into my room and tied my hands.”
She closed her eyes with a painful expression, and Jane patted her on the shoulder.
Olivia started to whimper as she continued.
“I swear, I didn’t really want to sleep with brother Kevin…”
“I know. I believe you.”
“And, the next day, His Excellency came to visit… When he knew it all, he got angry.”
Olivia put her face on Jane’s lap and started sobbing again.
The hand caressing her back was so tender that she could cry with peace of mind.
“His Excellency, he said that he would continue to hold me in the future. I’m promiscuous, so I wouldn’t drag brother Kevin into bed anymore if he pleases me. So, he held me all night.”
“Okay.”
“When I woke up, I suddenly felt very sad… It’s just all sad. This relationship has become unbearable.”
“….”
“His Excellency will forever see me as such a woman, though he would hold me. Maybe, he’ll get bored and leave me. It will be so if he marries Princess Grande.”
“….”
“I made this relationship that way, if I had said no, if I hadn’t said it out of the blue, if I hadn’t accepted the suggestion to go to bed with him… it wouldn’t have been this way.”
“….”
“Because of that, I thought I should end it. Then, I’d rather leave.”
Finishing her words, Olivia sobbed again as she buried her face in Jane’s arms.
Jane thought as she looked at the slender back. Now she saw what their relationship was like. Not to mention Duke Deorc was stupid and foolish, and this girl too was so frightened that she acted foolishly as well.
This lady had been sleeping with the Duke, thinking that she couldn’t dare to covet him…
Between herself and the Duke, she thought there would be no sympathy for her. It would have been good for the relationship to progress there, but the more she mixed her body, the more this lady’s heart was charred.
The existence of the fiance and Duke Deorc, who did not know how to properly express his feelings.
Jane opened her mouth as she was still stroking her hair.
“Olivia did nothing wrong. Even now, you haven’t properly blamed anyone. You are too nice.”
“….”
“You actually hated it don’t you?”
“….”
“You hated why didn’t the Duke believe in you? You hated why he brought his fiancé?”
“I…”
“Actually, you wanted the Duke to save you. For five years, you lived in that house…”
Olivia felt as if she had been stabbed in the head by those words. She was already crying, but something came up again.
It was just like Jane said…
Olivia saw Leon as the one to save her, ferociously and unconsciously. Because of this, she felt more betrayed by him, that was why it hurt even more.
In fact, she didn’t know how much she hoped he would save her two days ago, even when she was forcibly held by Kevin. She hated it. She hated Leon so much…
She hated him so much for being angry when he didn’t even save her.
“But, I can’t hate him.”
Olivia said, crying. If she had been able to cut him off by resenting and hating him, it wouldn’t be this hard on her. Olivia loved Leon. She loved him, so she couldn’t even hate him as much as she could. Olivia sobbed loudly for a long time.
Exhausted from the crying, Jane stopped her crying and she blinked her eyes slowly, stroking her hair and said.
“You know what?”
“….”
“Actually, Eric, no, His Majesty and the Duke were close friends. As His Majesty’s mistress, I was often with them on the battlefield.”
At that, she lifted her head and gazed at Jane.
‘Then, the two were friends…?’
In the meantime, Jane smiled as she watched Olivia listening to Leon’s story.
“One day, not long before his return, the Duke took out a necklace and showed it to me.”
“….”
“It was such a pretty necklace, so I nodded and asked what it was and whom he was giving it to.”
“….”
“Then, he said he would give it to a loved one after he returned home. He asked me if this was pretty for women.”
“A loved… one?”
“His Excellency said that the color of the jewel was exactly the same as the color of his loved one’s hair.”
He said it resembles her hair color?
Henrietta’s hair was blonde, so he must have bought a necklace of gold jewels such as topaz or amber.
“The jewel was a garnet, a garnet necklace.”
Olivia opened her eyes wide.
“It was such a beautiful jewel, like the color of Lady’s hair. It was red and beautiful…”
“No way…”
The day she first mixed her body, she thought of the necklace he had given her. She didn’t look at it properly, and threw it away with a sense of shame, though it was definitely a garnet necklace.
“…No way—”
As Olivia murmured with her eyes wide open, Jane added with a playful smile.
“Do you know whom the necklace went to?”
“….”
It was the necklace that Leon had given her.
Olivia couldn’t believe it, so Jane lowered her body and whispered.
“After his return, the Duke, do you know how absurd he has been?”
“What…”
“Because the Duke, who had been resolutely staying away from women because of his loved one, asked how to mix the body with a woman?”
“….”
“When I asked if he wanted me to show it with my body, he asked me to concisely explain it with a theory. He said so. It was an unfamiliar lecture, but I think I did my best. Apparently, he couldn’t do it with his sober mind, so he drank and left.”
When she first mixed her body, Olivia remembered that Leon had felt somewhat clumsy. At that moment, she just thought it was because he wasn’t used to ‘relationships to satisfy women.’
“How was he? Was he a good disciple?”
On the other hand, Jane smiled seductively and asked playfully.
Tears streamed down Olivia’s eyes, which were red from embarrassment.
“All right then, let’s wipe your face now.”
She took her handkerchief and started wiping Olivia’s face softly.
“Let’s see the Duke again.”
“Again…?”
“He’s a really bad, clumsy, stupid person, although Olivia is still saying that she likes him. Then, you have to meet again, so you need to hear the story.”
“….”
“You can’t go to that important place with a swollen face and crying, right?”
As Jane laughed playfully, tears kept falling from Olivia’s eyes.
