Dangerous Fiancee

Chapter 124

After ordering the servants and maids who gathered due to the sudden disturbances,

he looked at Giyom who was winking at him to get rid of the dirty thing right away.

"Excuse me."

"No! Marquis! Sorry...Let go of me! Sorry! I won't do it again! So please listen to me... Ahhh! Let go of me! Yuck..."

Giyom grabbed her waist as she was crawling on the floor. He shut her mouth with his large hand. Roxanne, whose body was smaller than Marianne's, was taken out of the room while she was struggling.

Like Marianne herself at the last moment in her previous life when she was dunked into a quiet lake at night, his private space became quiet as if nothing happened. Quick-witted servants and maids hurriedly cleaned it up and went back to their place. Cordelli also reluctantly went out of the room.

"Were you surprised very much? I knew she was a jealous woman, but I've never thought she did a terrible thing like this. I wonder if she is really crazy..."

"..."

"Just forget it. You don't have to care about it. I will make sure she won't harm you."

Marianne stared at her back for a while as she was disappearing. After a brief awkward silence, she nodded and took pains to smile.

"I'm alright. Please don't reprove her too much. I understand Miss Roxanne hates me. If I meet her later and clear the air, I think will get along well again."

Fearing that he might send poison the Lonstat family because he was annoyed at Roxanne's attitude, Marianne quickly reassured him that she would reconcile with Roxanne.

Ober frowned as if he thought she wouldn't go through the trouble of doing so. But what was important to him was to sympathize with Marianne, so he nodded silently.

"Above all..."

Marianne felt nauseated by his actions, but she barely put up with it.

And she just focused on what he had to do at this moment.

Her green eyes concealed her fatigue and slowly looked around.

"I would like to take a walk for a change. Can you go with me to the garden? I won't refuse it if you show me around the garden."

Two days passed since then.

As she had experienced before, the rumors getting around in the capital spread in a flash.

Marquis Chester's mansion was a special place that drew the attention of busybodies and moles even when nothing special happened. As the moles Chester planted in various places secretly spread rumors, his mansion, which had been quiet until recently, was now topsy-turvy.

And it was not without reason.

Rumors originating in his house were about Lady Marianne, Duke Kling's only daughter, her former lover and one of Aslan Empire's most powerful men, Marquis Chester, and the daughter of Earl Lonstat who was ranked as the leading candidate as Chester's fiancee.

In short, it was a scandal involving their entangled love affair, the people's favorite topic!

"Did you see that? No, did you hear? Lady Marianne came to the main palace today."

Moreover, there were more rumors getting around in the Imperial Palace than anywhere else, including the noblemen's districts.

"Oh my gosh. How brazen-faced she was! How come she came to see the emperor after she had an affair? Didn't they know anything about the rumors at the Elior Mansion?"
