The Duke's Substitute Bride is a Maid

As a maid of the royal family, Irene was sent to learn etiquette by Princess Marla to take her place in marriage. Her partner in a marriage was the brave and fierce General Ronald, who had just been granted the title of a duke! Rumor has it that Ronald was cruel, bloodthirsty, and did not care about women. To even seduce or betray him was to court death. Irene shivered in her wedding gown. She did not know how many days she would survive being around him. Ronald asked, "Wifey, why are you shivering?" Irene responded fearfully, "I… am a little cold..." The tall man smiled and pulled her into his embrace, and their body temperatures rose. One day, the substitute marriage came to light, and thus her marriage with the duke was void. Everyone thought that whatever she had to face next was terrible. However, the duke held her face and said, “Regardless of whether you’re a princess or maid, if you were to marry, it can only be me!”

Picking The Lock

Redakteur: EndlessFantasy Translation

Irene had been worried about the whereabouts of the letter, but Ronald had been guarding her, so she could not find a chance to slip away.

Just as she was about to go to the bathroom, Irene heard the sound of the door opening. She immediately opened the bathroom door and tried to follow him out, but then she saw that Ronald was about to close the door. She thought to herself, 'This is not good.'

She quickened her steps and ran to the door, but she was still a step too late. The door had already been closed by Ronald.

Irene reacted quickly and pulled the door handle, but she could clearly hear the sound of the lock. "Ronald! Ronald, what are you doing! Let me out!"

She had already said that she did not want to escape, so why did Ronald still lock her in the room?

The sound of Ronald's leather shoes landing on the floor could be heard from outside, and the sound of familiar footsteps pricked Irene's heart.
