Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

Chapter 78

C78

Young Master, you are forbidden to leave until you have finished all your tasks.

Madame Karil threatened Enrique with a soft tone.

She said that because she already knew that this boy wouldn't be able to finish his task.

The tutors, hired according to Madame Karil's taste, were working meticulously according to her instructions.

The fact that the Duke of Seymour had hired a famous tutor for Enrique in the first place was one of Madame Karil's lies to control Enrique.

—It's all for you.

She said those things as a habit.

-----------------------------

Enrique, who watched the heavy rain pounding the window with a sickly expression, let the quill slip from his hand in frustration.

Maybe it's because his mind was blank, but no matter how hard he tried, his task never seemed to end.

The humid heat had become so intense that Enrique fanned his clothes several times.

Enrique really hated when his birthday approached. He continued to have nightmares, and he became anxious.

He knew in his mind that it would pass soon, but at this moment, he felt so frustrated, at a height he couldn't even escape from.

Since the duchess's death, the duke has only focused on his work. He won't forget her, so he won't feel good every time he sees the young master.

It seems like it's all because of him.

Even more so when the anniversary of his mother's death approaches.

He can't breathe.

Enrique, who had been lying face down on his desk for a long time, stared fixedly at the tapestry on the floor that showed a picture of a viper with sharp teeth.

Who's being a nuisance? Don't speak that way when you don't even know what's going on.

Suddenly, he remembered the moment when his older sister coldly shouted at the nanny.

Some might say she's like a viper, but somehow he felt that she was like a warrior at that moment.

Enrique bit his lips until they bled, then he got up from his seat and left.

If he stayed in this swampy annex in silence like this, he would be forced to feel fear to the tips of his hair.

Young Master, where are you going?

The nanny hurriedly followed Enrique as he ran towards the entrance of the annex.

When the nanny grabbed his arm, Enrique looked at her with a pale face.

Where are you going in such unpleasant weather? I know you haven't finished all your tasks.

Today is the day I meet my sister. I have to go!

Are you saying that Princess Deborah will come to see you in such awful weather? Don't be ridiculous and go back there. You'll catch a cold at this rate before your birthday! Are you trying to make everyone worry?

The nanny pulled his arm roughly.

Enrique tried hurriedly to free himself from her hands because it was too similar to the touch of the snake that had been tied to his limbs in his dreams.

But strangely, he had no strength in his body.

So the boy struggled to open his mouth.

I'm not trying to do that. I'm going to study. My sister accepted me as her student. I promised to go see her every week.
