Ch 3

Does this misfortune happen when Duke Bouser is having an affair?

Unlike my parents who got married while dating, the Duke and Duchess of Bouser married according to their family’s interests.

It was often called ‘political marriage’. Something common among the nobility.

In my previous life, my mother and father relationships were common, but there were very few cases here.

Perhaps that’s why the Duchess of Bouser used to envy my mother, her best friend.

“If he also treats me kindly…”

The Duke Bouser was cold-blooded and merciless,  worthy of the name the “Cold Duke of the North.”

His character remained unchanged in front of his wife.

The Duchess knew the nature of the duke and still married him, so she had no complaints about it. Rather than that, the Duke who kept public and private affairs like swords respected the Duchess, so the two could get along very well.

….if the Duke didn’t cheat.

I don’t know whether the male lead’s law, “I’m cold to others, but warm to my woman,” also applies to the male lead’s father, or is it just genetic.

But the Duke meets a woman who melts his heart.

‘And the problem is that she’s not the Duchess.’

It was a meeting between the cold Duke and the fallen noblewoman who almost became a commoner.

Looking at the Duke who fell in love with her at first sight, some may say, ‘It’s a really romantic meeting’, but he is a married man.

In other words, ‘He’s trash’.

Even the Duke’s trash didn’t end with only that.

The Duke was already blinded by his first love. He was determined to bring her back to the Duchess, not to mention quickly getting her pregnant.

“How…how can you!”

The Duchess collapsed upon hearing him close to a declaration of war.

In fact, the Duchess had known the Duke’s love affair for quite a long time.

But in the aristocratic society, the husband’s wishes were common, so she endured them. She thought it’d be just a night’s sleep, or a wind that’d pass soon.

He just said that he would be dealing with her overnight or would it be the wind that would pass by soon.

But the Duke appeared in the form of a man in love. The Duchess who is desperate at the man’s change who never allows her as a single tool of his heart.

[“My mother was always in pain to see me. When she sees me, she will remember Father and start to miss him and hate him at the same time. And Mother slowly went crazy.”]

It was what Rudric told the heroine when he let go of his past.

After all, the Duchess finally declared a separation when he brought his cheating partner to the Duchess’s home, and she slowly went mad with love for the Duke in a cold mansion where no one came to visit.

And the failure of the Duke and Duchess still affects the young male lead. The male lead who recalls the past, speaks bitterly.

[“So I don’t believe in love. It leads to destruction.”]
