IT HURTS... W... WHERE AM I? DID YOU SLEEP WELL? LADY VIOLETA HERNANDEZ. ISABEL ALVAREZ?! OH, RIGHT! I ALMOST FORGOT! THIS... IT'S THE SILVER WAX SEAL WITH THE COAT OF ARMS OF THE PREVIOUS DUKE OTERO. THE ONE WHO IS BEDRIDDEN COULDN'T HAVE SENT THIS. RIGHT. YOUR FATHER'S MISTRESS SENT IT. HAVE YOU SEEN THAT NEW BUILDING BEING CONSTRUCTED ON BERN'S SHOPPING STREET? IT'S AN INVITATION TO ITS GRAND OPENING BANQUET. IT LOOKS LIKE THAT CRAZY WOMAN BOUGHT IT AND IS OPENING A CABARET THERE. HOW DID SHE EVEN THINK TO SEND AN INVITATION TO ME?! TO MY DEAR GUEST, CLAIRE BRENDA SHE WAS PLAYING DEAD ALL THIS TIME, BUT SECRETLY PULLING OFF THINGS LIKE THIS BEHIND OUR BACKS? SHE HAS COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN HER PLACE! MOTHER... GET OUT!!! AH, YOUR GRACE, YOU'VE ARRIVED. VARGAS, HOW IS MOTHER DOING? NO REAL IMPROVEMENT THIS TIME EITHER. IT LOOKS LIKE WE'LL HAVE TO SEARCH FOR ANOTHER DOCTOR AGAIN. VARGAS HAD SERVED AS THE DUCAL FAMILY'S PERSONAL PHYSICIAN FOR MANY YEARS, BUT MENTAL DISORDERS WERE NOT HIS SPECIALTY, SO CURING HIS MOTHER'S MADNESS WAS BEYOND HIS POWER. INSTEAD, HE USED HIS EXTENSIVE CONNECTIONS TO FIND SPECIALISTS, BUT AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF VARIOUS THERAPIES, THERE WAS STILL NO RESULT. THE WOUND YOU GOT LAST WEEK ISN'T BOTHERING YOU ANYMORE, IS IT? THE CUT WAS SHALLOW, SO THE SCAR WILL FADE QUICKLY. FORTUNATELY, IT'S IN A PLACE WHERE IT CAN'T BE SEEN. SHOULD I THANK MOTHER FOR THAT? IT'S BEST IF YOU DON'T SEE THE DUCHESS UNTIL WE RECEIVE THE SEDATIVES. I'VE ORDERED A STRONGER MEDICATION THIS TIME, SO PLEASE JUST WAIT. IF THE SCAR HAD BEEN LEFT ON MY FACE... DON'T COME NEAR ME, YOU TRAITOR! DO YOU WANT TO THROW ME OUT, JUST TO MAKE THAT BITCH THE DUCHESS?! MOTHER... HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?! THEN... MAYBE MOTHER WOULDN'T CONFUSE ME WITH HIM? I'M SURE THE DUCHESS MEANS YOU NO HARM. IS THIS MOTHER'S MEDICAL REPORT? YES, YOUR GRACE. "MADNESS"... A SCRAP OF PAPER WANDERING THROUGH THE MAZE OF THE WORD "MADNESS," STILL SEARCHING FOR A WAY OUT. WHAT A STRIKING CONTRAST. ONE WOMAN IS SENDING OUT LAVISH INVITATIONS, WHILE FROM THE OTHER, ONLY HOPELESS MEDICAL REPORTS ARRIVE. WHILE WE CONTINUE TO DROWN IN MISERY, THEY ARE ALWAYS READY TO STAB US IN THE BACK. AFTER ALL THIS, HOW CAN I POSSIBLY GIVE UP ON MY REVENGE? "BREAKING OFF THE RELATIONSHIP." "IF THE BETRAYAL OF A LOVED ONE LEAVES A WOUND, IT'S YOUR OWN REFUSAL TO LET GO THAT CAUSES IT TO ROT." IS THAT SO? AND WHERE DO YOU GET SUCH CONFIDENCE? DOES THIS MEAN MOTHER IS SUFFERING BECAUSE SHE NEVER ACCEPTED THEIR BREAKUP? THEN HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ACHIEVE THAT KIND OF SEPARATION? "IT CAN BRING PAIN TO THOSE WHO TRULY LOVE YOU. ARE YOU PREPARED FOR THAT?" I DON'T WANT TO ENDURE THIS PAIN ANYMORE. VIOLETA, IF I CUT EVERYTHING OFF COMPLETELY LIKE YOU SAID, WILL I BE ABLE TO RID MYSELF OF THIS PAIN? WILL I... BE ABLE TO BREAK FREE TOO? FORGIVE ME, YOUR GRACE. WHAT IS IT? MARCO SENT A MESSAGE. SHE'S PROBABLY JUST TIRED AND DECIDED TO TAKE A BREAK. IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS... GET THE CARRIAGE READY. WE'RE GOING TO THE FACTORY. THE SILVER-HAIRED WOMAN HAS GONE MISSING ## See also - [WebtoonLib — I Became the Affair Partner of a Trash Duke #19](/series/i-became-the-affair-partner-of-a-trash-duke-mxeul3ac/chapter-19-jwhb4e) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/i-became-the-affair-partner-of-a-trash-duke-mxeul3ac ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
