Chapter 40

He would savor the time to drive Count Brumayer insane up to the brink.

He would make them hope for mercy and beg for their sins.

By the time all the entertainment would be over, he’d finally push them beyond the cliff and erase all their glory from history.

Rose had escalated the timing since she started spreading the false rumors in favor of the County.

“I will avenge your persecution by the County.”

“…….”

“Don’t say that you’ll forgive them. And neither are you going to convince me not to do so.”

While the assistant was carrying an expensive dress to the carriage, Ian pointed to it.

“This is just the beginning, Laritte.”

Laritte’s heart gave a strange quiver.

Is it because she could get even with the count, whom she had served all her life?

Or maybe it’s because he told her that a dress like that had become her own.

Laritte shook her head.

That could not be the reason.

“I will introduce the duchess of my duchy to the world with the most colorful things that would suit her. So that no one else can…… ever spread any false words.”

Ian’s smile deepened at Laritte as he recalled Rose.

She didn’t care about the change in her wardrobe.

The twin maids served an awkward Laritte in the bathroom attached to her room, while the employees were busy running to manage everything else.

“Oh my, madam. How does your skin glow so much?”

Alice and Irene praised Laritte in chorus.

“Could you get rid of these flowery scents in the tub?”

“Today’s most attractive lady will definitely be our madam!”

But they ignored Laritte as their minds were only focused on preparing their lady with their skilled hands.

Once she reappeared in her room, her soft and smooth skin left behind a pleasing scent.

“I have your dress prepared, madam.”
