I Became the Villain’s Wife

t saying this because I’m afraid of the Duke, I’m saying it because I’m really trembling and terrified of what might happen.”

“I’ll explain to the Duke well later.”

Eun-woo took a step forward, telling to Ikshid that sheds an empty smile at her determined words.

‘But this gaze definitely doesn’t belong to Tashian…!’

Eun-woo thought anxiously.
She could feel it.
The eyes that were ominous were not the eyes of Tashian mentioned by Ikshid.

Tashian was not a person to give her such an ominous look that she got goosebumps.

She looked around anxiously in the middle of the venue and tried to find the source of that gaze.
However, it was very difficult for her to reveal the source of gaze, not a politician with developed sixth sense like the prince or a knight, developed five senses like the Duke.

Eun-woo realized that the strange anxiety of unknown sources was stimulating her whole nerves from before.
The hunch that something would happen at this banquet constantly twisted her stomach.

Eun-woo had no choice but to focus on her main job to keep Ikshid away from Selena while being on alert.

Ikshid followed silently for a while, pushed by her momentum, and eventually changed his face with a strange look.

At one point, he opened his mouth with a sense of caution that he would never do again.

“… Sister… Do you love me?“

Eun-woo opened her mouth like a person who witnessed the collapse of the world at his question.
She replied back to him with a look of disbelief.

“No, what unscrupulous are you saying…”

Ikahid quickly rolled up his sleeves and protested.

“Look at the goosebumps on my forearms, too.
It was not an easy question for me either.“

“Then why did you bring that up? Look! My hair is sticking out, too!”

“It didn’t rise.
By the way, I’m glad that you gave me such a neat answer.
I’ve never thought of you more than my own sister.”

“The same goes for me! You should be glad that I didn’t hit your shin here.“

When Eun-woo shouted in an excited voice, Ikshid replied in a shocked voice.

“How dare you try to hurt the body of a crown prince of a country? This… I didn’t raise you here.
That duke has ruined you like this.“

“If the duke hears it, the sound of pulling out a knife right away would be heard.”

Eun-woo responded coolly.
Looking at her sister’s cute movements with mischievous eyes, Ikshid said.

“He was a quiet kid who had never begged me when he was young, but as he began to stay in the duke’s office, he seemed quite determined.
Is there anything uncomfortable about being with the Duke?”

Ikshid’s eyes, who asked questions, rarely flashed.

Eun-woo noticed that he was testing her.
She answered after much consideration.

“No… No way.
The Duke is very nice to me.
In fact, I didn’t know Lord Verk was such a sweet person.”

Eun-woo’s cheeks, thinking of Tashian, turned slightly red.
For Ikshid, she just lied on her own, but this was true.

Tashian was a really sweet person to her.
His words and attitudes toward her, always contained an inexplicable feeling.

Eun-woo, who fell in love with it, did not realize that Ikshid was staring down at her with the expression of a person who had heard what he shouldn’t hear.

“The duke… Kindness……?”

Eun-woo looked around in a strange atmosphere that suddenly flowed.
Not only Ikshid but also a few aristocrats who were circling around them stopped what they were doing and stood tall like a scene in the picture.

Ikshid once again asked if she was joking.

“Now… Did you say the duke was sweet…?”

“Yes, he’s a sweet person.
The Duke of Verk.”

There was silence.
Eun-woo blinked at him wondering what mistake she had made while speaking.

It was not long before Ikshid burst into laughter with a world-class gulp.

“The… Duke… is kind…” he laughed.

Eun-woo opened her eyes wide in embarrassment and quickly looked around.
However, for some reason, all the nobles around them were covering their mouths with their bare faces.
In the official sacrament, the notion that they could not show a shabby appearance like the Crown prince seemed to prevent them from creating a scene of holding a boat and rolling along with Ikshid.

“The flying bird is going to fall down! Duke… Kindness……!” (Laughs)

“Wh, why are you laughing like that?”

Eun-woo was embarrassed and tried to stop him from ripping off, but he did not stop laughing.

Why are you laughing like that….?

Everyone in the banquet hall, who was quietly listening to their conversations, knew that, but Eun-Woo did not notice it, and looked at him with an absurd look.

It was then.
At some point, the duke approached them silently from the side with a terrifying look that would never happen again.

“*Sob*… !! Lord, you’re here… *sobbing*.
The friendly duke is here…!”

Exide was now almost sobbing.
Eun-woo was confused, looking alternately at Ikshid, who was about to roll on his stomach without knowing what to do, and Tashian’s expression, who seemed to want to hang it outside the gate by filial piety of his neck.

“…What kind of situation are you in? Everyone’s looking at His Highness.“

Tashian, who rebuked the prince with a clear voice of contempt, wrapped Eun-woo’s arm on Ikshid’s arm with a natural movement, and settled it on his arm.
No one in the place noticed the strangeness of the action because of the flexible movement like water flowing.

“Ha ha! It doesn’t matter.
You should’ve listened to what Elli just said! Now, you… You…!”

Tashian responded with a consistent unpleasant look to Ikshid, who laughed as if he was out of breath.

“What did Miss say about me?”

His face, which had been upset all the time, quickly loosened and came down to Eun-woo, who was standing blankly holding his arm.

“…What the hell did you say about me?“
