Duke, I Want a Child

Chapter 7

The eyes of the woman and the archduke met.
With the morning sun behind her, her orange eyes seemed to be transparent, as if she was seeing through.

In the midst of everyone’s silence, the beautiful bride with seven coats of blood slowly stood up from her seat.

“Will you be my husband?”

Contrary to her pretty appearance, the voice that escaped from between her red lips was subtly low.
It was a familiar tone of voice.
Considering the status of the opponent, it was not unusual, but there was something strange about it.
It was the dagger in the bride’s hand as she got up from her seat.

“Or is he the one who came to kill me again this time?”

Plain but sharp sword had already dried up a lot of blood.
It was clear what caused the dead bodies scattered around.

Among those who were still speechless, the Archduke moved one step further.
He seemed to hold his breath from the moment he opened the door and looked at her.
He looked at her for a moment, as if he was seeing something very strange.
He even forgot to answer her question.

“… Well, it doesn’t matter.”

The bride, who had a frown on her forehead that had been splattered with a single drop of blood, smiled softly.
It was a smile that would have been as beautiful as a flower had it not been for the dire circumstances around him.
However, the actions that followed were never expected.

swish! Kwajik!!

The archduke quickly avoided the dagger that flew in front of his nose in an instant.
It passed the Archduke , brushed the head of the imperial knight, who had opened his mouth stupidly from behind, and nailed it to the wall of the hallway.
Ahh, a belated groan was heard.

Although it was bloody, with her soft hands in bridal gloves, she did a terrific act, and she straightened her posture.
And he laughed again.

“Either way, I’ve been waiting for the door to open to dump the ‘neck’ “One of the knights, who had been complaining that the bride had been waiting all night, took a step back and sat down.
But no one said anything.
