She Became The Devil's Stepmother Who's About To Be Killed

Chapter 7: Chapter Seven

A Sacred Oath Between Husband And Wife

"Wife."

"Yes?"

"How much more do you intend to drink?"

Gerard took the wine glass from my hand and placed it on the table.

'Am I drunk?'

I can't believe it was taken away so easily.

Well, I just sipped a glass of wine to soothe my nervous and anxious mind.

'Do I look like I'm extremely drunk?'

I quietly touched my cheeks with the back of both hands.

'They're hot.'

Was I as hot as a juicy peach on a summer day?

Or as red as an ugly tomato?

Ugh, the tip of my nose was red that I probably looked like a drunkard.

I was a bit worried.

But I was surrounded by people eager to kill me like the Emperor, Empress, my younger brother Yan, and Marquis Michael.

But the only one they couldn't touch was...

Gerard Vonzeyer.

So I had to stick as close as possible to my new husband for survival.

And I smiled brightly at those who congratulated him or saluted him. If it got a little boring, he shouted "Here," "Here," "Here," and "Here," and sipped the most expensive drinks and wines from the tray of the passing employee.

And then,

"Why doesn't the Grand Duchess go put the child to bed so we may start the second part of this act?"

Gerard's gaze was directed at Theodor.

Five-year-old Theodor, still in his stuffy suit, was dozing off, a fork still held in his small hands as his upper body shook.

"If the second act is putting the child to bed..."

Gerard looked straight at me with those green eyes.

In fact, even then, I had no idea what he meant.

Is there anything else?

I stared blankly at his face, so like a sculpture.

He bent toward me and whispered into my ear.

"It's 19-Rated, that last offer."

A sweet yet heavy scent enveloped me.

I tried reflexively to free myself, and he hugged my shoulder lightly.

'Wow, what's this? Who is this lascivious man?'

If you're going to come at me like this so suddenly, you should turn a blinker on!

My breathing was shallow, and I couldn't help but tremble.

"Haha Rated 19 proposal? Hahahaha R-19."

I laughed and looked around, dumbfounded.

But perhaps my voice was too loud, because everyone's eyes were on me. And those eyes sparkled with anticipation.

"The Grand Duchess says the Second Act is about to begin!"

"Woah!"

Clap, clap, clap!!

Clink, clink, clink!

At Gerard's announcement, the distinguished guests applauded and cheered, striking their glasses with spoons.
