Spoiler I gave birth to the villain's child/ 살인귀의 아이를 낳았다

She wants to live freely without being tied down to nobility, but then you say she actually can’t live freely unless you have money or power (so being nobility & no shit yeah in what era does that not matter). What a contradiction. She’s now married to a Grand Duke so how more noble can she get? (Unless it’s a higher position). Whether she likes it or not, she is tied down to nobility bc of her title so unless ‘freely’ meant not being a noble so maybe a commoner or she runs away or some shit, then what a good job she’s done so far not being tied down to nobility (sarcasm). Since she can’t be free without money or power, then she should make the Grand Duke be on her side (currently he already is anyways). He wants to make Nitty his heir, but she doesn’t want to. So now she can’t be ‘free’ bc she’s refusing money and power I don’t think there’s a curse or magic that’s keeping her silenced about it she doesn’t wanna say the truth. I’m just annoyed that misunderstandings are dragged when it could have been solved with communication

 

She doesn't want Niti to be tied down by nobility so he doesn't experience the same miserable fate she did: to be treated as a mere commodity to be traded for wealth and power. Although I believe that the gender of the child mattering for such treatment is being grossly ignored, but the fl having ingnorance/naivety issues was already established.

And there is another very big reason for her behavior that I think you are currently forgetting about, namely that she is a victim. What she experienced was obviously her own fault for not being smarter about things, but she payed the price for that arrogance and naivety. For three years she had been abused, ridiculed and treated lower than the servants in her "home". That doesn't just go away from one day to another because the ml appeared; she is still afraid. Afraid that her father will come to make trouble for the grand duke if he stumbles upon the truth, and afraid that the grand duke will think she is in some kind of conspiracy to take advantage of him and will send her right back into hell. I've read something about an interloper coming into the picture later here among the spoilers, if she keeps silent even then, then it's just the usual dumb plot device of shoujo stories to add more drama for the sake of it and to lengthen the book, but I'm not there, I'm only reading the translated manhwa. Up to ch.22 I agree with her cautious handling of ml, after all, she comes from a bad situation and she doesn't really know anything about the man besides him being gentle with her for a night.

 

Yeah I agree it’s understandable for her to be cautious and MLs don’t magically solve everything. I’m not caught up so much with this story and when I made my post I just finished reading recent translated chapters and saw spoilers in the comment so my posts were based solely on that. So I was just so annoyed bc it seems like the plot will ride out that misunderstanding since it won’t be solved 80-100 chapters later (novel ends at 125). By that time, wouldn’t their relationship develop to have some lvl of trust between them or something? Idk. For me, something like this is frustrating to read about

Also, yeah it has to do with gender. Not saying that males aren’t treated as commodity or don’t get traded for wealth and power so political marriages, but the girls usually have it way worse since boys are raised to be the heirs who will succeed their house/title.

 

She is also worried that if he learns that it's his child he will feel that she manipulated him. She is scared that he will hate her. FL knows she has to tell ML the truth but isn't strong enough yet.

Basically most of her worries are in her head but you can't blame her feeling that way when you consider her circumstances.

 

I understand your annoyance as that's something I don't enjoy reading about either. I took a look (just a look because I don't understand Korean) at some of the raw chapters, I think we'll be in for some cliché misunderstandings but I didn't see anything conclusive about it so I'll still give the story a chance for a couple more chapters--may I be surprised pleasantly. If it comes to the worst, I'll just have one less thing to read

 

So when the ML will know about his child niti?

 

Is his manhwa currently on hiatus? It's been a while since it hasn't been posted again

 

FYI private group has translated the novel, if you want to read more please dm me^^

 

If MC doesn’t reveal that the child is the ML’s, maybe it will come out in another way. If the father’s curse is hereditary, the MC should be concerned because who knows if their child also inherited it. MC needs to think ahead.

 

From the recent chapter fl is trying to learn and do her job as the duchess. She also asked about secret guild information to know the truth abt the bit*h pretending to be her. So she wants to become stronger and repay ml kindness to her. I just hope the misunderstanding in the manhwa doesn't ride out like in the novel.

 

I don't know because i don't read it. But

said that, so i just hope the misunderstanding doesn't get too long.

 

He is supposedly cursed so when it (I'm not sure if it's certain?) Nights (or every night? as it doesn't make sense to me) he is pretty much blind. So when she met him on that fateful night he looked like he needed help, which so and so led to her asking him for "help" aka. sleeping so she can conceive. And then she left and he couldn't really catch her appearance but looked for her and she feels quite familiar to ML and the Niti, the son had the rare red eyes, which makes him suspicious.

 

it has the sense of a Manhua then a Manhwa

Me too,, I prefer the art of the novel's cover then the Manhwa
And I can't imagine how dense he is ,, that guy and his lover are tricking him to divorce his wife to marry her!!!!

 

In the latest raw updates ( I want to spoil but I cant read korean so I just tried to interpret the drawings)

Spoiler: forgot the chapter

It seems like one of the guards of ML had been bewitched by some impostor bitch. I think she persuade the guard to lie and tell ML that she’s the girl he spent the night with. Then when the FL and ML went to the emperor’s birthday, the ML left the FL for a while and went to the impostor. It didn’t show what they talked about because the ML appeared again when FL’s father started to bother the FL.

 

I saw the Raw manhua on newtoki95 coz the the link on the first page of this thread doesn't work.

they both say they committed suicide, but there are many questions
tra the other

shadow: that's what ... it's hard to do

baster: how hard?

shadow: died in an accident the next day of my contact

It seems the Viscount of Tyrian had written his hand.
Dipol, you will find out

Dipol: yes sir

baster: I hope the work is a little cleaner next time

baster thoughts: you must have been mistreated quite a bit inside that house ...
So, was he wandering the streets that day? without knowing the world ...

baster: Will Ivett Pearlson attend this banquet?

butler: so you have never attended a baquete

baster: I'm going to have to meet her. and the counts together

Butler: I'll try to fix a day

baster thoughts: not even count count pearlson is very good with rumors ...

maybe Ivett Pearlson needs my help then the talk will be quicker
maybe you need a break ...

Baster: what happened to you the other day when I asked you to investigate Tyrian's work?

Dipol: wrote a separate report

baster: what is the hole?

Dipol: there are a few
It does not seem difficult to bury the Viscount of Tyrian

baster: be prepared to do it at any time
for a while due to Karinna's rehab I have to hold my breath

this is from followmanga. translated from spanish to english.
that shadow is an effin liar and Ivett is a B.

Spoiler: google translated ch 25

baster: something else?

butler: no, nothing.

baster: how often has the emperor been pestering?

butler: send a courier every week.

baster: well ... what is the security status in the mansion?

butler: so far there have been small incidents of intrusion, but they were suppressed without major problems.

baster: good. he worries a lot about strangers who may approach, so care must be taken.

butler: yes

baster: think of her orders as my own.

butler: yes sir.

baster: pay attention to her food, dessert and snacks.

butler: I'll keep it in mind. will not go to the library?

baster: no, I will go directly to the bedroom. you don't need to come.

butler thoughts: how much longer can I see you so happy?

butler: okay.

baster thoughts: it took me longer than I thought. I should have come sooner ...
(when he reached the room karinna and niti are already sleeping together in bed)

baster: i'm a fool ... good night, karinna. (he sleeps together with them hugging karinna)

**********************************************
shadow: shuri ...

Ivett:

shadow: the grand dukes is a cold and scary person ...
I am afraid that they will hurt you.

Ivett: hahahha- you're worried about me. do not worry about it. If we just keep it between the two, no one will know ...

shadow: yes ...

shadow thoughts: now it is useless to repent. I'm already into this. if we die, we die together, and if we live, we live together.

Ivett: finally, I will be able to live as a human being ...
thank you.

shadow: I hope Ivett's wish comes true ...

Ivett: so it will be. making sure I'm the grand duchess of kayen. I will reveal the corruption of my family and make them kneel before me.

Ivett: thank you, shuri.

shadow: the woman I met three years ago.

shadow thought: i must find it faster than anyone else we have to deal with it without anyone knowing. Should we ... I ... this isn't too much ...?

karinna: huh?

baster: Viscount Tyrian is watching you there

EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION

* Karinna looks at the announcer

HER MAJESTY IS ENTERING

karinna thoughts: come to think of it, i've never seen her majesty's face
it's only been 3 years ...

king: everyone straighten your back

karinna thoughts: she is a beautiful person
looks like a jewel ...

* the king saw her looking and smiles at her*

karinna thoughts: are you laughing at me right now ....?

 

Spoiler: google translated ch 27

karinna thoughts: that person ..


king: I thank you for coming here. I hope the trip has been pleasant.


karinna thoughts: is his majesty the emperor?
I thought the sun of the empire would have a different aura ...


mc's father: karinna


karinna thoughts: i don't want to have to deal with it.


mc's father: (grabs mc's shoulder)
Heavens, who do you think you are? Would you still be a nobody if you had not married the archduke ... do you think that is enough to change your true nature?

karinna: what you say is true. however ... now you can't keep hurting Nitens anymore. As you say, now my situation is different and I have become another person.


baster thoughts: (heard mc's voice) .... karinna?


karinna: I think I am capable of achieving what I set out to do.


baster: * shivers *


baster thoughts:
Until recently his life was a disaster and he had to live rolling in mud flats in order to survive. his wounds were immense and deep, it was a situation that went beyond what my mind could imagine. My intention to help her was so that the day would come when she could defend herself ... I wish she could spread her wings and fly.


karinna: step back viconde Tyrian.
Because now I am capable of doing anything.

baster thoughts: now that I've been able to see who she really is, I can't take my eyes off her. she is so beautiful ... (he is blushing LOL)


mc's father: this ... despicable crummy thing!


Baster: (walks closer to them)
Long time no see, Viscount Tyrian.


mc's father: archi ... archduke! (bows in greeting)


baster thoughts:
an evil man who behaves weak before the strong, but is strong and implacable before the weak.


baster: (smiles and look at mc) karinna


karinna: um, baster


mc's father: ...!
you ... you just now how did you have the audacity to speak to the archduke like that ...!


baster: why do you think it is a problem for my wife to call me by my name?


mc's father: excuse me for my daring, I did not know that it did not bother you that she crossed the line.


baster: I will decide that it is to cross the line. Since the marriage was made, I have not seen him again. I will leave a free space in my itinerary so that we can meet.


mc's father: yes! Yes! I would be honored if I did that.


baster: then, we retire. we will talk another time.


mc's father: y-yeah have fun


* they walk away *


karinna: what do you mean by making room ... in your itinerary?


baster: I thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to be tough on him first and then make him feel good.
You do not want? (he pinched mc's chin and moves closer to her face)


karinna: it's not that ...


baster: you looked great a little while ago.
When you told Viscount Tyrian what you really thought.


Karinna: were you looking at me? what a shame ... (blushes)


baster: (holds mc's face) you were incredibly fantastic.
I couldn't look away for a second.


Karinna: I am no longer afraid I realized that he could no longer do anything to me.


baster: that's right


karinna: when i was a girl i trusted that man because he is my father. That was before I knew that he had killed my mother.


baster: .. !!
..What did you just say?


Karinna: I'll tell you everything later.


baster: ... um


karinna: Ivett ... did you have a nice conversation with that person?


baster: I did not think, that I would have the confidence to tell me a secret of that magnitude. I wasn't ready for that, I need help.


Karinna: ... I think this person is telling me the truth, but am I sure of that?


baster: um, he knew exactly what happened, the date and the accommodation.


karinna thoughts: what happened to you? someone must be lying!


karinna: so ... there is no way I have betrayed you?(probably she meant if there's no way his shadows betrayed baster)


baster: that would never happen


Karinna: ... um


karinna thoughts: you shouldn't be suspicious of baster's trusted people ...
I need to do some more research.


baster: karinna?


karinna: uh .. um.


baster: our turn is next.


karinna: what do you mean by turn?


baster: we need to meet the protagonist of the party. (he is unwilling to do it. LOL)


karinna: ah ....!


baster: it's annoying, but it's my duty to deliver a present.


karinna: * whispers * it is usual for high ranking people to go first, but why is it like this this time?


baster: * whispers * I'm an exception.


king: no matter how annoying you think I am, at least you should be more careful with the expressions on your face Archduke, don't you think?


baster: it's just that I find it tedious to have to.


king: you don't even want to talk to me a bit. After not seeing each other for so long, Terry.


baster: don't call me by that damn nickname, your majesty.


karinna: !!


king: it is unfortunate that you say that, after all, we are close friends. (stands up walk close to mc and held her face)
It is the first time that we have the opportunity to dialogue. Karinna.


Karinna: ....! (blushes)

not bad to be cautious mc

 

anyone has a spoiler? How did the woman who claimed to have met the Duke 3 years ago end? He dared to deceive a grand Duke so I was wondering what punishment he could not get for daring to deceive a grand Duke!

 

I wonder what's the cause of niti's fight with another kid.
It's cute when Niti cried when he saw his dad hahaha

I can't google translate yet

 

I think it has to do with the other kid telling him the duke is not his father when in actuality the duke is his father. Heh.

 

I see thanks. Good thing Niti knows the truth he just can't say it. But I think it's good that FL said that to Niti for his safety as well. Sometimes hiding the truth will make traitors show their true colors.
