Meanwhile, Diarin, a doll-like and immature woman with unwitting love who is known as a beautiful marionette, moves as the Duke instructed. She heads to Ezette at the Duke’s order, which is to carry on their engagement.

Diarin leaned towards Ezette to make it look as natural as possible.

“I’ll break our engagement.”

The knight immediately replied, ‘what?' and was about to ask more.

But Ezette, on the other hand, had an odd expression. Thanks to her keen awareness, Diarin was able to catch his expression. Ezette never took his eyes off her.

Ezette asked,

“Is that what Duke Conkel wants?"

The sentence was spoken in a quiet voice, much like Diarin’s. No one, except the knight, could hear the conversation.

“No way. Do you really think the Duke would let you go? If he could, the Duke would've tied your legs together with a rope."

“Then, why?”

Diarin said in a small voice as if ice would break if she spoke any louder.

“It’s what I want.” <<less
