Clink!

The wine glass that fell on the stone floor was smashed to pieces with a crash.

While the red wine was spilling over the floor like blood stains, the two awkward voices ringing lowly stopped suddenly.

Marianne's fingertips trembled. When she stepped forward, biting her lips unconsciously, her view, which was hidden by the entangled rose bush, opened wide.

It was Ober who was standing in front of the great lake of the back garden.

Giyom, his bodyguard knight, was guarding him.

"...Ober. "

Marianne called his name as if she was calm.

She wished he would not answer. She wished that he would fade away like the shade as if she grabbed the air when she extended her hand.

"Marie."
But it was a familiar voice that came back to her.

"It's fake, isn't it?"

Marie.

That was her nickname that only Ober could call in this spacious mansion.

Although she heard it clearly, Marienne asked him again. She had to because she thought she could have heard wrong. Logically, she should have heard wrong.

It was impossible for Ober to do so. He was a good man. Regardless of when he was dating her or after he married her, he was always attractive and friendly.

Her father, Duke Kling, disliked Ober very much. Although he was terribly humiliated by her father several times, he never gave her up.

Without Ober, she could not have properly buried her father who died unexpectedly.

"Please answer me. Am I having a bad dream right now? if not..."

"Marie. I think you're drunk."

"It's impossible you did that. No, you can't. I must have heard wrong. Right?"

Marianne almost cried as she approached him and grabbed his arms.

"Please, Ober. Save me from this nightmare."

Her transparent emerald eyes trembled with anxiety.

"Marie, calm down. What did you hear? Huh?"

"You said you would love me until you died. Yesterday... and until this evening, you kissed my cheeks and smiled at me sweetly. You only whispered into my ear that I'm your light and salvation! "

"Yeah, I did!"

"Then, how can you...how could you do that to my father? If that's true, it's like I killed my father. How can you do this...?"

"Marie."

"Ober, as a human, you can't do that. No, you're not that type of man, right? You were not. That's why I got married to you. Ober, how can you do this to me?"

While Marianne was babbling to deny the situation, Ober's face was hardening gradually.

Although her words were cut off in the middle and mixed with emotions because she was so surprised, her point was very clear.

She was betrayed by her husband, whom she thought she could rely on after she was left alone after her father's sudden death.

She overheard his plan to kill her.

There was someone behind Duke Kling's sudden death, who was none other than her husband Ober. And she unwittingly helped him carry out his plan to kill his father ....
