Undercover Infiltration Duchess

‘Oh my God.
Where is she going with that?’

Ezet felt like screaming.
To explain that, she must reveal that she has committed obscene acts in the corridors of Edmond in the Imperial Palace.
But if she shut up, she’ll be mistaken for having an affair with Daniel in the back garden.

A pervert or an affair woman.
Either way is a no-no.
Of course, the former was true, but nothing was as terrible as the fact that she wanted to deny.

‘What do I do? How do I answer that?’

A large hand slightly wrapped around Ezet’s shoulders, who was dizzy because her head was spinning.

“That’s a troubling misunderstanding, Countess Devon.”

“Oh, my God, Duke Jaxen.
Are you trying to cover for your wife?”

“I’m not covering it up.
I’m just telling the truth.”

Edmond smiled and took a look around.
Finally, where his gaze stopped, Daniel stood.

“It was three years ago.
When I killed the dragon that threatened the borders of this empire.”

Even though he was relaxed, the voice was soft and deep, as if sitting by the bed and telling an old story to a child.

“A dying dragon put a curse on me, who stabbed the sword into his heart and covered it with blood.”

“Well, curse?”

“Yes, I was cursed by a dragon.”

He continued with a faint look as if he recalled the past.

“That’s what the dying dragon said.
‘My hatred and resentment will curse you, and now you will not be loved by anyone and will be unhappy until death.'”

“Oh, my God…”

“As he said, my appearance will be turned into a terrible one.
Red scales sprang up all over my body except for my face, making me look as ugly as a monster.”

People shuddered, imagining Edmond’s body covered in scales.
Being a person with scales, there must be such a terrible existence.

“I was ashamed to show that ugly figure, and I couldn’t even find Milady properly after the wedding.
I even thought I was going to die.”

“No, such a past for the Duke of Jaxen…”

“But every time I did, she encouraged me.
She gave me hope.
Thank you for loving me.”

Edmond said that the deep resentment left by the dying dragon healed him with strong love to purify his hatred and resentment.

“Love is such a mysterious emotion that the scales that had been tearing and causing pain began to fall, and the wound began to heal at Milady’s words and gestures.
Three years later, I managed to fit the human figure.”

“Oh, that’s why you haven’t been in public for three years.”

“Yes, now the curse has almost been lifted so that I can come out in front of people.”

Edmond slightly loosened Cravat and revealed his neck.
There was a reddish scale in the back of his neck.

“Haa…”

“There’s only one left.
I’m afraid this is about to the ground.”

It glistened as he glanced through the red scales with his fingertips.

“No way.
That can’t happen…!”

“No, but a dragon curse is possible.
Why, once upon a time, when a dragon died, the land was devastated, and the sea became a place where no man could sail, and no fish could live.”

“Right, the Dead Sea in the south was originally the place where the blue dragon died.
That’s why I heard fish can’t live.”

“Then the reason why the Duke of Jaxen hasn’t been seen in public in the meantime…”

They chatted among themselves, and people who were convinced began to come out one by one.
The flow soon spread throughout.

“In your eyes, people’s hearts change easily, so even couples who love each other may think that they can deceive others and have different hearts, but I don’t think so.”

Edmond’s eyes on Ezet were warm, saying so.
Like someone who’s really saved.

“The love of men and women.
Maybe it’s just a once-in-a-lifetime feeling and a shame to reveal to others.
But it’s both salvation and happiness for someone.
Just like right now.”

“Edmond…”

“Milady, your love saved me.”

Edmond kissed Ezet lightly and hugged her.
It was to hide that the cream in the chest had begun to melt, but to others, it seemed as if the two were hugging each other, unable to hide their passionate feelings.

“My wife is a miracle woman who brought me back into a man and made me happy, who became a monster under the curse of a dragon.
A woman with that kind of love leaves me behind and another man? It doesn’t make sense.”

When he looked at Daniel with a smile, his head became slightly red.
Those who have already fallen for Edmond’s story have forgotten the crumpled frill story that Countess Devon pointed out.

“Oh, my God… it’s so romantic.”

“I didn’t know it happened.”

“Love overcomes even the curse of the dragon; I never thought such love existed.”

The banquet hall members looked at Duchess Jaxen with a moving look.
Countess Devon’s party was trembling, pale, and speechless.
