THE REASON WHY RAELIANA DIDN'T END UP AT THE DUKE'S MANSION

BET

"Are you serious?"

"you really are,"

"So you're betting on your fiancé? You're either very cocky or just fucked up,"

"Relax, it's just a game," I flinched,

Just a game! I am literally being bet on!

"And what does the winner get if he wins?"

"He'll enjoy her for a whole night, her skin is quite fair and soft, you're not losing anything,"

So all the touching wasn't flirting but inspection, I feel disgusted,

"And what are you gaining in this?"

"I want the box,"

Everyone was silent for a while, looking at this insane man behind me, while I was calmly standing in front of this table, looking at all the men scattered around,

So they're aristocrats, they're just a bunch of pervs.

"Wait, how is she so calm about this?"

"It's either she's setting us up or she's really a slut waiting to get railed,"

Everyone was hesitant; they exchanged glances behind those masks, whispering and chuckling,

"Don't worry, I'll win, I've never lost at this, trust me," he whispered behind my ear,

Oh you better win.

I couldn't even tell how I was staying calm in this situation, but he couldn't just go on betting on his fiancé like a psycho right?

"Okay, you have my word,"

"What are we playing?"

"Poker,"

With a confident grin, he went forward, all the worries I had calmly sealed away, came rushing like a waterfall, when he lost.

"Looks like I won,"

And why is it the fat one,

"I was never too good at this anyway,"

"You're just a gambling obsessed punk who messes up with women,"

"Wait what!?" I screamed, "You told me you never lost before!"

"He did? Ha! This punk never won a game before, he just brings sluts like you to bet on cause he doesn't want to lose his money,"

"What!?" I turned my neck, glaring at the disgusting dick who was unbothered,

"Don't worry, virgins have never been my type anyway," he stated, crossing his arms calmly before me,

"I'm leaving,"

I took a step backward, only to be blocked by two bulky knights,

"He bet, and he lost, so you're mine,"

He's definitely a count; they're the only ones with enormous amounts of rings on their fingers and heavy weights, webnovel logic,

"Don't look at me like that, I'll take good care of you," he licked his fat lips, leaving them wet with visible saliva, gross.

It's at times like these that a father should make his entrance,

I was instantly pushed forward, resisting to avoid going near this pork of a man, it wasn't that they didn't know what's going on around here, it's just that they ignored it,

All these people here, they're scared of him for some reason,

And when realization hit me, I smiled,

"So you are Viscount Daman,"

The knights behind me flinched,

"What are you saying, are you trying to escape?"

"Don't fool me, Viscount; you're the owner here aren't you? Is it why everyone looks like puppies around you?"

He clenched teeth, grinding them harder, "You, I don't know where you got that from but you can be in a very dangerous situation right now, I held that Viscount Daman was a dangerous man, who would know, he might be here hiding behind a mask,"

I paused, "Hiding?" I giggled, "But, he's standing right in front of me!"

"The person sitting back at the table is probably a substitute, and the fool who brought me here is your son, since you own the place no one could dare say a word, am I wrong?"

The table was pushed down; shatter noises spreading across the room. He's getting violent.

"Don't blame me now; blame your son, he was the one who enlightened me,"

He chuckled, "You are very brazen, and do you think I would let you go, now that you've revealed this, I have no other choice than to kill you and may it be a lesson to anyone who betrays me!"

Sharp edges were pressed against my throat from behind, I had completely forgotten about the knights,

"Viscount, if you kill me, my spy will report you,"

"Ha! Don't make me laugh! You think I didn't know that you came here for the first time and with only your father? Don't try to fool me,"

"You think it's a joke? Break a glass,"

*shatter

There confident heads became stiff at the sound, the once confident Viscount now shivering on his own.

"Are you willing to take the risk, Viscount" I paused, "I leave and never say a word, or you kill me and get reported,"

"Such acts, you're looking down on the emperor," Using the emperor was low, but if you get caught you'd die anyways, so you have no other choice

"Leave and never come back,"

That I can assure you.
