Chapter 46

Wooyoung PV

"I have no place"
For the twentieth time the priest repeats the same sentence to my question for a day for my wedding.

"Not even a space this month? How is it possible"
I say almost exasperated.
"I am quite busy this period"

Now he's tiring me;
he truly believes he can lie to an army officer so easily.
I have interrogated a  thousand men in my career, I know the signs of lying.

"Then I'll take the first free date"
The old priest looks around the church a little as if looking for an escape.

"I can not"
He says now surrendered to my insistence.
"Earl Jung I would be honored to celebrate your wedding for real, but I just can't do it"
"Reason"
I say, fighting against myself to hold back anger in a sacred place.

"This church is financed by the nobles, and if they don't agree with your union, let's say 'brave', I can't do anything about it"
His expression is really sorry, and unfortunately I understand his reasons.

"This 'they' .. has a name?"
I go even closer to his study desk, and look him straight in the eyes.
His expression leaves no doubt, he has received orders not to celebrate my wedding.

"Good heavens don't let me tell you, please"

Right now I could destroy anything for the fury I carry inside me.

I knew she was a viper, but I didn't imagine this far.

I enter my cousin's estate, and among the columns decorated with golden leaves, I walk the stairs that lead to the morning halls.

"Duke Yeosang is not here Sir, he is on a hunting trip"
A waitress tells me, and my gaze cannot fail to fall on her belly, now clearly highlighted by pregnancy,
that gives me a strange feeling in my heart at the memory that soon I will be a father.

"I was looking for the duchess"
I reply, focusing on why I'm here.

"She is in the tea room, I accompany you"

"Finally, it took you time to bring me a cup of tea"
Yeeun squeaks from her armchair in front of the balcony.

"Forgive me, but I didn't bring anything"
I tell her advancing into the room, and she turns around, welcoming me with a big smile.

Incredible how much external beauty can hide a rotten interior.

"Your company is enough"
Her gaze flows lewdly all over my figure, and I can't help but hold back a shiver of repulsion.

"I guess you know I'm not here for a courtesy visit"
I say, taking a sit in front of her.

"What a pity, I hoped you had changed your mind about your slut and returned to more refined tastes"

"Name Hea again and I assure you that my gallantry towards you as my cousin's wife will vanish in an instant"
In my tone there is no kindness, but a clear threat.

She falls silent and takes on a serious expression, ready to listen to me.

"I learned that you have given orders not to celebrate my wedding to all the priests in the area-"
"I just want to protect you from your madness, after all we are almost related.."
She interrupts me, continuing with her staging as an innocent.
"A relative you wanted to bring to your bed"
I add, and she smiles, unable to hide her true nature.

I feel sorry for my cousin, he deserved better.

She stays still as she watches me move next to her.
"I bet you still want it"
I give her a slight smile, and her eyes widen, surprised by the turn the situation is taking.

Time to play.

"Look at me Yeeun, I know you like what you see.."
I get even closer, and her gaze becomes darker and her lips part.
Too easy.

"You wish i was yours, right? Even for just one night"
I whisper in her ear.

"Look at it, but remember that this body belongs only to a woman now and it will be her toy in any way she wants"
I stand up, hearing her clear lament at the interruption of my game.

"Stand in my way again and I assure you that Yeosang will know all about your betrayals, and your reputation will fade away."
Her eyes widen in fear, to my happiness at having reached the goal.

"I won't be so magnanimous next time, remember that"
