Chapter 11: Chapter 6.1

“Are you unable to sleep again? Your skin got dry.”

Remy, my exclusive maid, was worrying while applying cream to my face.

These days, my muscles were screaming daily because of the physical and muscular training I’m going through.

Who has told you that? I can’t sleep when I’m extremely tired. It’s just my story right now.

“It’s not good for your skin if you don’t get much sleep. Look how rough it has become.”

Remy’s eyes narrowed at the middle of what I’ve said.

“I’ll feel better once I get used to it. Don’t worry about it, Remy.”

After being possessed, I depended a lot on Remy. It was because of Remy’s teachings, that I was able to act like Kayla on the outside.

“Lady Kyla is not like that!”

Every time I did something off, I traced Kayla’s memory to correct my tone and behavior.

“Yes, Milady.”

Remy, who patted me on the face and gave me a massage, changes the topic: “Are you really going to break off the engagement with Sir Ritaus?”

It was a curious look.

My declaration to break of our engagement quickly spread among the employees, but no one had ever asked. Remy was the first.

“Yes, and I am not just going to breake it of, I already did.”

Remy’s face showed, that she didn’t understand.

“Why? He is a handsome flawless Gentleman and seems to have a good heart.”

I agree that Ritaus is a handsome, gentlemanly, and a model student. It’s all because he’s a shady model student.

“He was at the fundraising party for the poor people of the Yellow Sea, that you had organized. You looked good together with Sir Ritaus there.”

I can’t believe that he suited me. I got goose bumps all over my body.

“One can’t tell someone’s personality based on their appearance, Remy.”

“How’s the personality of Sir Ritaus?”

Remy’s eyes were shining brightly.

But I can’t tell you the truth. You won’t believe it, and you wouldn’t even imagine what kind of guy he truly is.

I hated Ritaus especially while reading the original. Every time he appeared, I skipped the part.

In fact, Ritaus himself wasn’t that bad. As Remy said, he was a good-natured, upright, stereotyped model student.

But he had one of the most vulnerable weaknesses: The fact that he was stuck with Astaire.

He had no intention at all to stop Aster from doing evil.

「I’m sorry, Franz. I like Astaire… . I can’t go against the Duke of Liseuhi.」

The original Ritaus did not help Franz escape when he was kidnapped by Astaire. He just blamed him for his helplessness.

It was the contradictory side of the straight knight fighting for justice.

However, when Franz was seduced by Astaire, he did something terrible to Franz out of shock and anger.

Thinking that Franz, who he had cherished till then, had been tainted by Astaire, flipped his buttons.

And even when Kayla, who came to rescue Franz, was brutally murdered by Astaire, he cried and blamed himself.

「I couldn’t protect your precious sister and I didn’t even protect her dead body. I’m sorry that I’m so helpless.」

In fact, Kyla didn’t die the usual way. Astaire used a magic whip to tear Kayla’s whole body into pieces and killed her. Afterwards he fed her corpse to the dog he was raising.

「About seven pieces? Maybe it’s because ypu guys have been starving for a week. It’s been a long time since my pet dogs had something to eat.」

At that time, Astaire was smiling creepily beautiful.

How much effort the artist put into Astaire’s drawing? Even though it was a black and white cartoon, it was so pretty that I couldn’t take my eyes off.

Meanwhile, even at that moment, Ritaus was worried about the screaming Franz.

But he couldn’t help Franz escape. Ritaus was the loyal dog of Astaire. When Ritaus’ shameless face came to my mind, my fingernails pressed into the flesh of my hand. He was the one who wanted to help him, but he hadn’t done anything, so there was no one else to blame.

Then, someone knocked on my door. When Remy opened the door, they could see the face of the butler Alto.

He had a serious look on his face: “Milady, Sir Ritaus has come to see you.”
