Duchess's Petals Are Wet

Episode 1

My Sister Gave Her Husband to Me and Ran Away

After an extended visit to her mother’s home to attend her grandmother’s funeral, Erit cried, lying down on a long sofa.

“Liberation, liberation! I’m not going home anymore!”

“What do you mean liberation? Erit, did you fight with brother-in-law?”

“Will he fight with me?”

“Then what’s the matter?”

Ezet’s older sister, Erit, got married three years ago. The person is a very handsome man who is two years older than her. He was a man who became a mercenary and threatened the northern border as a heavenly orphan and became the adopted son of the Duke of Jaxen, who had no descendants and inherited all his titles and properties.

He didn’t have parents to hand him the golden spoon, but since he created a meteorite spoon for himself by picking the stars, he became the winner of life by the golden rule.

The reason why the new Duke of Jaxen, who is the epitome of a self-made man whose knees are split under the pressure of his stomach, married Erit, the eldest daughter of Viscount Herit whose only valuable possession was his title, was simple.

Because of the strict laws of the Empire, the heir to a noble family above the count could not inherit the title unless they were married.

Perhaps the law was enacted because people were worried that the noble family would collapse without an heir. But it became meaningless when the deceased Duke of Jaxsen adopted his heir.

Anyway, the new Duke of Jaxen, born as an orphan without ties and inherited the title as an adopted son, had a weak base of support. The vassals were wary that the new Duke of Jaxen would be swayed over by his wife and issued an announcement to recruit an extraordinary bride.

The wife’s family could not exercise any authority over the work of the Duke of Jaxen, could not visit the properties of the Jaxen family, could not visit her family, could not meet her family, except for the severe circumstances of the family, and could not divorce.

The first step was to cut off meetings with people.

They’ll recruit a bride, take her organs, grind her bones into stars, and make them into constellations, and the nobles couldn’t send their daughters to this seemingly suspicious recruitment announcement.

Erit married a duke because she was fickle and reckless, unwilling to think.

No physical, verbal, mental violence, or abuse.

No restriction shall be placed on the support of living expenses, cladding expenses, education expenses, and medical expenses.

Ensure sufficient rest and leisure time.

Erit offered three conditions, and the Duke of Jaxen called. When the deal between the two was made, things went smoothly.

Erit shouted goodbye to Ezet and her grandmother and married the Duke of Jaxen.

Because her son and daughter-in-law passed, her grandmother Viscountess Herit, who had a hard time raising Erit and Ezet, was stigmatized for selling her granddaughters.

Whenever aristocrats point their fingers at her and say things, such as “Money will do everything,” or, “An old woman will ruin her granddaughter’s life,” Ezet wanted to break their fingers in the opposite way. Still, it was only possible in her imagination.

Ezet’s grandmother could not properly refute the pouring criticism and lay down with stress gastritis, and eventually died in three years. Her older sister, Erit, married, and their grandmother passed away.

However, without mourning her lonely situation, she heard that her older sister, who returned to her family home for the first time in 3 years, said, ‘I’m going to run away.’

Are your parents-in-law bothering you?”

“My parents-in-law are dead, and my relatives aren’t around, so who’s going to bother me?”

“What’s the problem if it’s not your husband or your in-laws? Are you uncomfortable with your life? Is he trying to stop you from spending money? “

“It’s been a long time since I’ve lost my sense of economy because I’ve had enough money to rot. Do you want this red diamond necklace?”

Erit loosened her necklace and handed it to Ezet as if she was handing over a used ink bottle. Ezet hardened her impression as she glanced at the brilliant red diamond necklace, which looked heavy at first glance.

“Erit. Do you have any mental problems?”

“The correct answer.”

“What?”

“I think I’m going to be a psychopath. I can’t live in that mansion.”

Episode 2

“What the hell is wrong with you?”

“I’m crazy. As expected, marriage is not a thing. Non-marriage! Non-birth!”

“Erit, sister!”

Erit leaped up from the sofa and grinned at Ezet.

“You know, Ezet. I’m still a ******?”

“Sister!”

“I’m tired of doing it alone. Do you know how many self-pleasure devices I bought? The latest instrument powers from Mana. When you put the vibrating instrument in, spread your legs and use your fingers…”

“Sister, are you crazy?”

Afraid of who would hear it, Ezet quickly tried to cover her sister Erit’s mouth, but Erit lay back on her back.

“Yeah, crazy. I can’t live in that house. You can’t live with him.”

“What the hell did brother-in-law do?”

“Nothing.”

“Huh?”

“You don’t do anything. He literally doesn’t do anything to me.”

The Duke of Jaxen has never had a face-to-face conversation with her since the wedding, Erit said.

After a formal wedding, Erit stayed in the inner castle, and the Duke of Jaxen remained in the outer castle, so they never sat together and ate together, let alone the first night.

Not once in 3 years.

“I can’t meet my family or friends, I can’t go out of the house, I can’t meet people. You have to say that all the immediate servants are mute. If you learn something as a hobby, you can talk to a tutor, but if you get attached, they’ll, in turn, give a different person. I haven’t talked to anyone properly in three years. I think I’m going to go crazy.”

“Are you avoiding him? You can talk to your brother-in-law.”

“I tried. Did I go and drink tea in the office? But I had eight cups of tea in two hours, and he said only two words.”

“What?”

“Yes, and no.”

Erit turned her head back and laughed as if it were hilarious.

“I thought it was a broken phonograph? I’ve never heard him say anything but those two words!”

“So you hate brother-in-law?”

“Yes, I feel like throwing up just thinking about it.”

Quite explicitly, Ezet looked around in contemplation. Fortunately, no one passed by.

Whether Ezet is embarrassed or not, Erit still continued the conversation with a brazen face. It was more like talking to herself than anything.

“I’m not going home anymore. Tell them to find someone if they want to. Should I just pop overseas? Is it better to have a boat or a train? What?”

“Erit, calm down. Calm down and talk to brother-in-law properly.”

“No, it’s a waste of time.”

The problem was that she did not care about the condition that she could not get divorced. Erit said that there was no violence, verbal abuse, or forced pressure from her husband at the time and that she would have no problem living with a man she didn’t know if she was provided unlimited material and time support.

But it wasn’t.

Who said that humans are social animals?

For three years, Erit had not been able to speak out properly with anyone and returned completely thin. The blackness under her eyes made her face, which used to look as fresh as an apple, haggard.

However, upon arriving at the mansion, Erit shed tears of joy. Her grandmother passed away, and she said she wasn’t sad at all. She was so happy that she finally left the house, came home, met people, met Ezet, and talked to her.

“Erit, you’re avoiding responsibility.”

“What’s wrong with avoiding responsibility? If you’re going to blame me, blame me. I’m going to get away with it. If I stay like this, I’ll just hang myself on a rope and die.”

“Erit, sister!”

“If you’re so unhappy, would you like to be the Duchess of Jaxen instead of me?”

“What are you talking about?”

“It’s okay, isn’t it? I’m like a doll from that house anyway.”

Family members and relatives cannot visit.

Ezet hasn’t even met Erit’s husband.

On top of that, all the employees are mute. She doesn’t know if it’s for keeping confidentiality or keeping distance from the duchess, but they don’t see eye to eye, let alone talk.

“I’m telling you, even if you go into my room instead of me, play, eat, scream, and everything, no one knows it’s you.”

Anyway, they are sisters. It’s so nice to look like each other. Erit took off her velvet hat and put it on Ezet’s head.

Episode 3

“Wow, that’s perfect. Ezet, you’re about the same height as me now, right? You could wear my clothes, too.

“Erit, why are you doing this?”

“Ezet, you go instead. Be the famous Duchess of Jaxen. You used to hate people, didn’t you? If you go there, you can eat a lot of delicious food, and you can wrap your dress as you want or the jewelry. Just you have no one to show it to!”

“Sister, calm down. You don’t feel sorry for your brother-in-law?”

“Sorry? It’s way worse for me!”

Erit took off her gloves, coat, and shoes from her seat and opened her handbag to take out the golden pendant.

“Ezet, this is Duchess Jaxen’s seal. If you take this, you will pass all the Warp gates under the Duke of Jaxen. Horses, carriages, people, and anything else. I give it to you.”

“Erit, I didn’t come here to do this. Didn’t you come here to attend grandmother’s funeral? What’s wrong with you?”

“Grandmother! Yes, she saved me. If grandmother hadn’t died, I wouldn’t have been able to get out of that disgusting mansion. Oh, grandmother. Thank you!”

Erit got off the sofa, knelt on the carpet she had just stepped on, closed her eyes, and prayed. The prayer sounded like a song of a choir holding a holy sacrament, so Ezet stopped talking.

After praying, Erit rose to her feet.

“Anyway, I’m going? Ezet, if the Jaxen family looks for me, then say I died from the shock of my grandmother’s death. You can say that I was cremated upon my will. Sprinkle my bone powder on my grandmother’s grave.”

“Erit, sister!”

“Or you go to the duke instead. You don’t have a grandmother now. Either way you like it. I’ll do as I please. I will meet people as much as I want and make friends. Meet a wonderful man, date him, and have sex as much as I want. I’m free now! Grandmother, I love you!”

Erit ran barefoot out of the parlor. With a look of freedom, really liberated from something.

Ezet stared at the door where her sister disappeared because she was lost. She couldn’t understand her. But she couldn’t stop it.

She picked up a golden pendant thrown randomly on the floor. When she opened the pendant with the Duke’s family pattern, there was black hair inside it along with the Duke’s portrait. Maybe it’s the hair they exchanged on their wedding vows.

The Duke of Jaxen, who was rumored to be handsome, had a unique halo in his portrait. She couldn’t believe Erit abandoned her handsome husband.

You can live on his face for three years. Ah, it’s exactly three years now. Then let’s correct it to 30 years.

‘How could you run away without consulting your married husband? It’s so irresponsible.’

It turned out that the people of the duchy praised her for having no ideas.

Ezet was quite disappointed with Erit, who left their grandmother to marry him and left him irresponsibly in the end.

Maybe she didn’t tell Ezet, but the Jaxen family abused Erit. But this was not the case.

‘I’ll explain the situation instead of you. If I say it correctly, the Duke of Jaxen will understand.’

Ezet wore the golden pendant around her neck.

***

I Don’t Think There’s a Place to Run

Speaking of the Duke of Jaxen, this estate’s size is the first of its kind in the Empire, and it belonged to the oldest known noble family in its history. High walls surround the outer castle where the Duke of Jaxen resides, and it is wide enough not to let someone pass through a vast garden before the Duchess stays.

No, I’ll correct it.

It was not a place where such bright, wholesome, and gentle words could match, like a garden, where colorful flowers would bloom next to the warm sunny and cleanly trimmed grass.

It was a jungle.

“Hiiiik!”

Beyond the barbed wire, an anaconda, the size of a house, fluttered its tongue and stared at the carriage with a hiss.

‘I made eye contact! I made eye contact!’

Ezet stuck to the door of the carriage on the other side and breathed in.

“Rawwwrrr”

“Mom!”

This time, a lion roared at the leaning door. Ezet fell on the floor and covered her ears. The cries of beasts, the wobbling of leaves, the breaking of trees, and the sound of little beasts “kiek!”.
