The Tyrant Duke Is The Father
Chapter 4 - I Refuse
That very next morning, I woke up alone in bed. My whole body ached, and my hips were sore and aching.
Last night... wasn't a dream. I did something like that with my sworn enemy...
Count Frederic Julian
Rosie!
My Father then rushed into my bedroom smiling.
Rosalie Julian
F-Father... what did you do?
Count Frederic Julian
What? Oh, I just gave you something to loosen up!
Count Frederic Julian
I bet that the marriage proposal between the Bastillos and the Julian Houses will be finalised soon!
Rosalie Julian
M-Marriage? That man will not marry me, and neither will-
Suddenly, my head turned to the left and my cheek stung.
I couldn't believe it at first, but when I looked up, I saw that my Father had slapped me.
Count Frederic Julian
Do NOT be spoiled, Rosalie.
Count Frederic Julian
You WILL marry Cassian Bastillos.
May Bertha Julian
Oh my, what happened here?
Annabeth Fredemay Julian
Hahaha, seems like daughters do take after their mothers.
Annabeth Fredemay Julian
Born from a slxt, you'll become one too.
Was this their scheme all along?
Count Frederic Julian
It doesn't matter if that baxtard kills you, as long as I get the rights to the Bastillos gold mine, we'll be richer than anyone in the empire!
The Father that had only loved me, spoiled me... is using me for money?
No, I need to escape. But if I tell him that I'm leaving, he'll surely stop me.
Rosalie Julian
Father... how could you say such a thing? I was just joking!
He looked surprised, then regained his sickening sugar-coated smile.
Count Frederic Julian
Oh, me too, darling.
Count Frederic Julian
Oh, I'm so happy! You will be happy with the Duke!
Rosalie Julian
Yes, it's my dream to become a Duchess! Thank you for the opportunity, Father!
Count Frederic Julian
Of course.
Rosalie Julian
Can I rest now? My body feels sore.
Count Frederic Julian
Of course. Rest as much as you want!
And the moment that my Father and my step-mother along with my half-sister left the room, I got up, my legs trembling, towards my jewellery box.
I grabbed all of my expensive pearls and jewels and shoved them into a bag. I looked around and saw an old maid's uniform. I ripped the apron off and put it on me before closing the door.
I looked left and right and ran down the stairs to the staff exit, where I said my final goodbyes to that cursed family.
Rosalie Julian
No matter what... I'll get my revenge!
Rosalie Julian
I don't care if it takes 10 years or another lifetime, I'll make you all pay!
I'm not the naive little girl anymore.
I'm strong, just like my Mother, and I won't let anything stop me!
Mark my words, vengeance will be served cold.
