Chapter 27

It was the moment he bit Sally’s ear, gently whispering an evil warning.

The library door swung open. Sally raised her head, and her eyes met the woman who was about to enter the study. The woman screamed as she witnessed her son trying to bed the maid on the billiard table.

Thud.

Mrs. Winston immediately passed out and fell to the floor.

“Damn it…”

A low swear word fell from the back of Sally’s head.

º º º

Leon frowned as a sharp needle pierced his scalp. He was hit by the billiard ball by the maid, and it tore a spot. Even though he was just about to wipe the blood off, his mother, fussing over it, called the doctor around midnight.

Still, he didn’t think he was the one who needed a doctor.

His mother, who sat across from Leon and the coffee table, was draped on the wing chair like a corpse. It was ridiculous to see her being served by three maids and an ice bag on her head.

“That’s enough. Go.”

When Leon sent out the annoying doctor who was fussing about concussion risk and fracture potential, his mother sent the maids out, too. As she gazed straight at him, she looked like she was going to be hysterical soon.

“Oh, dear… Oh, God…”

Just as expected. His mother started looking for God, and it triggered her hysteria.

“Leon, are you out of your mind?”

Leon sat cross-legged on the wing chair, tapping his fingers on his lap.

“Haven’t you been acting quietly so far…? But why are you doing this with the engagement in front of you? Are you driving me to the brink of death with a nervous breakdown?”

The woman who was egocentric in everything… She insisted that his grown-up son’s lust for women was also a rebellion to win his mother’s attention and affection.

Sadly, Leon didn’t want affection from his mother.

As a sneer leaked from her son’s lips, Elizabeth picked up the ice pack from the table again and placed it on her forehead.

“Are you going to smile like that at my funeral?”

“You have nothing to worry about with the engagement.”

“The Grand Lady saw you meeting another woman, there’s nothing to worry about?!”

“It’s not like love, it’s a deal, isn’t it? No matter what I do with other women—whether it be the Grand Lady or the Grand Duke—they have nothing to lose.”

At his words, Elizabeth let out a long sigh and closed her eyes.

“Yes, you’re always right.”

Stubborn son.

Still, he has never been wrong, so she let it go as he should.

The vicious stigma as the monstrous vampire from Camden. She had been proud of his son’s loyalty to the Royal Family, a medal he had no choice but to get. She tolerated the torture chamber in the mansion and the constant passing of soldiers in ghastly uniforms.

However, to fall for a woman, even a lowly maid… She couldn’t stand this at all.

“Leon, I’ve been telling you since you were little. Don’t forget your father. How hard has our family been since then? I don’t want to lose you either.”

You don’t want to lose your chance to get a title.

Leon twisted his lips and squinted his eyes. This was due to the sharp pain as his wound pulled.

“…I’ll be honest. Whether it was my fault or your father’s fault, I was worried because you looked at women like worms. After marriage, it will be difficult.”

Thinking that the words ‘to see the second generation’ between ‘after marriage’ and ‘it will be difficult’ were omitted, he then scraped the blood from under his fingernails with a military dagger.

“But then, you suddenly became a different person and then with a woman, and even so, a maid! I’d rather you’ll be looking at them like worms again, please…!”

Leon, who was appreciating the wound the woman had inflicted on the back of his hand, smiled a little.

“What the hell did that maid do to you?”

At that, he raised his head. While he was gazing at his mother, his focus was actually on the air behind her.

‘I really want to know. What the hell did that maid do to me?’

Unknowingly, his hand went inside the officer’s jacket. Leon took out a cigar, lit it, and took a deep breath, deep in thought.

He had never been bothered by lust. Since he had lived with little to no feeling, he couldn’t be bothered to feel.

Still, he’d been annoyed since over a month ago when the maid took over the torture chamber on her own. The smell of blood began to get stronger from the smell of her flesh, and the smell of her body permeated his mind and couldn’t be erased.

It was as if the woman, with her cunning tactics, had mastered his thoughts and manipulated his body.

From the day he first recognized the color of the woman’s eyes, it got worse. He felt as if a ship that had been sinking slowly split in two in an instant and plunged into the deep sea. He didn’t even know the ship was sinking, and for him, he had no choice but to drown in a sea of ​​impulses, unprepared.

Even looking back on himself, for the past month, he was unhinged.

He was so obsessed with s*x that he often forgot what he was doing… He did just that today.

Even though he remembered the Grand Lady coming in the evening, he completely forgot it the moment the maid offered him a date. He couldn’t help but be shocked as he had not forgotten things.

Besides, for the past month, he had forgotten his noble dignity and flirted with the woman like a back alley gangster. He promised himself that he should be patient, and the moment they met, he lost his reason.

Leon was displeased with the fact that he had lost control of his body and reason.

“That maid needs to be fired right now.”

Elizabeth stared at her son with an unconvinced face. It was because she expected that Leon would object.

However, he fell deep in thought with his arms crossed and muttered something unexpected.

“If it bothers you, you should fire her.”

“What?”

Leon, leaving his bewildered mother, stood up and headed for the door.

“Leon!”

“Didn’t you tell me to fire her right away?”

“What?”

…Was he really going to fire the woman who got really close with him at once?

Elisabeth lost her speech at that behavior that was beyond her expectations. Even though he was the son of her own flesh and blood, sometimes, his cold-blooded side was eerie.

She stared with tired eyes at the door where her son had disappeared.

º º º

Sally wandered around the maid’s room.

‘The maid chief will come and fire me soon.’

She was going to pack her things in advance so that she could leave tomorrow morning, but for some reason, she was so dizzy that she couldn’t even change my clothes. She still had a burning pain in her shoulder.

The back of her head, which had been pushed and hit by the pool table, was also tingling.

If Mrs. Winston hadn’t arrived in time, she would have been bedded by him. Although she was a woman who was the epitome of the snobbish noble, only for that moment, Elizabeth Winston was an angel.

“Ack!”

Sally let out a short scream unknowingly the moment she brushed her face with her hands and touched her lips. Gazing in the mirror, she saw that her lower lip, which had been bitten by Winston, was swollen.

‘Damn bastard.’

But soon, the accusation changed.

‘Damn me.’

She should have pulled out the pistol sooner. For quite some time before that, his mind had been sold to her kiss. The problem was that Sally’s mind was also sold… She fell in love with the kiss she tried to distract him from…

Crazy, really.

“This is a kiss. My first kiss…”

“So, you don’t like it…?”

“…Good.”

“Shall I… do it again?”

As she buried her face in her hands, two young voices exchanged faded conversations in her head.

‘Crazy, really.’

Her mother in heaven would click her tongue as she looked down at her pathetic daughter. The moment Sally rubbed her face violently, the door rang.

Has the maid chief finally arrived…?

Sally, who was opening the door, shut it directly with a bang when Winston and her eyes met through the narrow gap. She pressed her shoulder on it to prevent him from forcing the door to open and locked it inside her with the key before clasping the latch when the bastard called her.

“Sally.”

“Did you come to do something that will make Mrs. Winston passed out again?”

Laughter flowed from outside.

“That’s not it. Yes, this would be better.”

Then, Winston made her unexpected offer.

“I’ll find you a better job because it will be good for you as well. Any letter of recommendation with my signature would be easy to get into. Mrs. Belmore said she’ll find someone else soon, so you just have to wait until then. Then, I’ll see you.”

Winston just said what he had to say in an instant—like a student reciting without even breathing, fearing that he would forget the poem he had memorized hard—and went away.

Because she didn’t expect to be told to leave by him, Sally stood stunned. The hand, which had been tightly clenched in a fist, released its power in a sudden release of strength, and she could feel herself stumble.

“Haa, maniac.”

It was crazy, but things were going as planned. Sally shook off the unknown discomfort and buried her exhausted body in bed.
