Duke's wife

Chapter 128

As she fled, Grace was startled by the voice of the Duchess of Alberton, who was crying out for the forest, and she turned her head involuntarily.

"――!"

Grace then found Marianne, whose breath had been choked by a dagger stuck in her chest, the Duchess of Alberton screaming as she hugged her, and the Duke of Alberton, who seemed to be distraught in shock.

Grace was horrified by the devastation that had unfolded in the few minutes she had fled. Then he looked at Marianne's pale face and muttered:

"What the hell is this......."

Then the Duke of Alberton, who had been devastated by Marianne's death, turned his head toward her with sad eyes.

'That damn!!'

I ruined everything because of that. If only he had died quietly, he would have been able to save the future, and Marianne would not have died.

The Duke of Alberton glared at Grace with a demonic face of hatred and slowly straightened up.

"...... It's all because of you, Grace. This devilish thing! If it wasn't just you!"

The Duke of Alberton shouted harshly and straightened up. If he can't use his magic, he will use force to end the life of that damned who ruined everything!

With that in mind, he stepped toward her menacingly, and Grace stepped back in wariness.

Hih!

Behind Grace, she heard the sound of horses crunching wildly, accompanied by the clatter of dozens of horses' hooves. Grace turned her head at the sound and looked at Arthur as he jumped off his galloping horse and ran towards her.

"Arthur!"

He rushed faster and hugged her tightly, as if in response to her voice. Then he pointed his sword at the Duke of Alberton, who was approaching to hurt his wife.

"Stop your nonsense and surrender, Duke Alberton. It's all over now."

"...... A damned monster, a traitor like a grub! Do you think you'll be safe like this?"

Then the Duke of Alberton gnashed his teeth and cried out in a voice full of evil. Arthur snorted coldly at him, burning with anger, despair, and hatred.

"Ha, well. I don't think you're in a position to worry about me right now."

"...... What?"

When the Duke of Alberton asked, Arthur nodded softly instead of answering.

Then Felix's knights, fully armed, emerged from the dark woods and surrounded Arthur and Grace, the Duke of Alberton, and the Emperor's family. Naturally, their sharp swords and arrowheads were all pointed at the Duke of Alberton and the Emperor's family.

Arthur turned to the Duke of Alberton, whose expression had hardened now.

"Let me say it again. Surrender, Duke of Alberton. If you do anything wrong, I will cut your throat without mercy."

"...... Who would bow their heads to a monster like you? Don't be funny!"

Arthur sneered coldly again at the Duke of Alberton's shenanigans, and then commanded his knights.

"Sir Oliver, get started."

"Yes, sir!"

"Hey, let this go! My lovely daughter, Marie! Let Marie go! Hello, honey! Save me!"

"Regina! Bloody hell! Let this go! You lowly things!"

Sir Oliver and other Knights of Felix quickly approached the fallen men, bound them all over, and recovered Marianne's body.
