Chapter 1

The Duke of Debussy celebrated with a feast on his birthday banquet at his detached house. April Witzer faced a man who looked as if he was unsuited for the festivity. He wasn’t a stranger. This was actually the third time she had run into him.

“What is this……”

Ian Reykis, who bears the title of a Marquis, belongs to a prestigious martial family.

A workaholic who has no interest in society, a symbol of abstinence.

There were a lot of rumors about him, but nothing to explain how he acts now.

“Excuse me, Marquis Reykis?”

He was barely leaning against the wall. When she called his name, he raised his head.

The moment he looked up at April, she felt goosebumps over her whole body.

His hair drenched in sweat, golden eyes shining like that of a beast, and the immense color of lust emanating from them. His crimson lips shed a few hot breaths, and he seemed hot and heavy just from the side

“Please, just calm down for now.” “Ha…. Don’t come….any closer…”

He answered in a harsh voice, but April couldn’t do as he said. She knew that the reason he was like this was because of her own medicine. This was a problem that he always experienced even if the medicine was effective.

“You need to cool off.” “Don’t touch me.” “Just listen to me! Hey, can’t you hear me?”

The moment April reached out to his face to examine his fever, Ian clasped her wrist tightly and twisted her body.

“Ah!”

Every time April tried to escape herself from his grasp, he tightened his hands more and more. She felt him relax for a bit, but soon, her back hit the wall. However, April kept her eyes open.

“Ugh!”

When he clasped her hand, it seemed as if it would leave a black mark on the spot. The thick odor from his body irritated her nostrils. His heated lips left a trace of beauty on his neck as if he was a pharynx. April shrugged and opened her eyes.

‘Oh……no.

Ian’s face was in front of her. He opened his eyes sharply and glared at April. He furrowed his forehead several times as if he could not see well, but his eyes, like a brute beast, were much more fierce than usual.

“I told you….not to touch me.” “Bu-but if you don’t….take any action….”

April’s trembling voice broke in the middle. For he, unable to find any reason, had swallowed her lips.

His tongue had suffocated April to the point where she could hardly even breathe, while his disheveled breath kept tickling her neck. The arm, which was holding her back, gradually rose up.

Their bodies clung together in an instant. While his body seemed to be boiling constantly, she felt that she was now in considerable danger.

‘Please, please.

At the time when April was trying to shake him off with all her strength, his body, which had been pushing him violently until now, suddenly fell over April. His body was unable to withstand the energy of the medicine.

“Ha…..wealth is the enemy.”

April groped his tingling lips and looked down at him, who had fallen on the cold floor. The only thought that lingered on her mind was ‘I should not have received this “request”.’

(The Marquis of Elise Witzer brutally murdered 30 women in the province of Carleva. In addition, the fallen aristocrats tried to exploit the nobleman by performing a regiment against them. The evil witch, Elise Witzer, was burned to death.
