EXCUSE ME? IS... THAT WHAT YOU WANTED TO SAY TO ME? FOR STARTERS. SO, ARE YOU UP FOR IT? ...THERE'S NO WAY I CAN DO THAT. YOU'D BETTER MAKE IT POSSIBLE. FREE-LOADING. DID YOU REALLY THINK I'D JUST LET IT SLIDE? MY MEMORIES WERE SO FUZZY THAT I'D FORGOTTEN...! IT REALLY WAS THE DUKE'S CARRIAGE I RODE THAT DAY! ...I AM TRULY SORRY ABOUT THAT INCIDENT. I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE... WHETHER IT WAS ON PURPOSE OR NOT DOESN'T MATTER. WHAT MATTERS IS HOW MUCH DAMAGE YOU CAUSED. HER PALE VIOLET EYES... THEY'RE STRANGELY STRIKING. ...I'LL PAY YOU BACK, NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT IS. HOW BOLD OF YOU. HOWEVER, I'LL PRETEND I DIDN'T HEAR THAT FIRST PART. WOW, YOU'VE GOT GUTS. BUT TELL ME, IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE GIVEN YOUR CURRENT SITUATION? HERE, THE REPAIR BILL FOR THE CARRIAGE. 5 MILLION CROWNS. 5⋯. 5 MILLION CROWNS?! EVEN THE FINE IS ONLY AROUND 2 MILLION! SO YOU'VE ALREADY LOOKED INTO THE FINES. AND YET, YOU NEVER ONCE CAME TO SEE ME OR TRIED TO PAY IT BACK? IT'S NOT THAT I WASN'T GOING TO PAY. I JUST DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS YOUR CARRIAGE BACK THEN. I WASN'T FEELING WELL, SO MY MEMORY... SIGH, MY LADY. THOSE CARRIAGE SEATS WERE A MASTERPIECE, MADE OVER SEVERAL WEEKS BY A MASTER CRAFTSMAN USING THE FINEST MATERIALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. BUT SINCE YOU SAT THERE, CAKED IN MUD AND SOAKING WET, THEY BECAME NOTHING BUT TRASH FIT FOR THE INCINERATOR. AND YET YOU TRY TO BRUSH IT ALL OFF BY SAYING YOU DIDN'T KNOW OR DON'T REMEMBER. I DESPISE THE EXCUSES OF PARASITES WHO LOOK FOR A FREE RIDE MORE THAN ANYTHING. MAKING EXCUSES FOR A DEBT IS A LUXURY, WOULDN'T YOU AGREE? I'LL ASK AGAIN. CAN YOU HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH ME? THE REPAIR COSTS... I WILL PAY THEM BACK SOMEHOW. SO, I'M SORRY, BUT I MUST DECLINE YOUR OFFER... I DON'T UNDERSTAND. WHY TAKE THE LONG WAY AROUND WHEN THERE'S AN EASY PATH RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU? BECAUSE... I HAVE NO INTENTION OF PAYING YOU BACK BY BEING TREATED AS YOUR MISTRESS. IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE AN EASY PATH TO SOMEONE IN YOUR HIGH POSITION, YOUR GRACE, BUT IT ISN'T FOR ME. YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT WHAT I'VE ENDURED TO SURVIVE THIS LONG! HOW INTERESTING. I CAN'T SEEM TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THOSE STEADY, PALE VIOLET EYES. THE BRAZENNESS THAT COMES FROM A FALLEN STATUS, AND THE NATURAL ELEGANCE OF HER NOBLE BIRTH BLEND TOGETHER IN A STRANGE HARMONY. ON TOP OF THAT, SHE'S A WOMAN BOLD AND RECKLESS ENOUGH TO CURSE ME OUT INSIDE MY OWN CARRIAGE. THE MORE I LOOK AT HER, THE MORE SHE SEEMS LIKE THE PERFECT PERSON FOR MY DEAL WITH THE EMPEROR. TO PLAY THE ROLE OF A MISTRESS AGAINST A SHARP-WITTED PRINCESS, SHE'LL NEED THAT KIND OF NERVE. BESIDES, SHE HAS A LONG HISTORY WITH THE PRINCESS AND SHOULD BE USED TO SCENES OF INFIDELITY AS AN AFFAIR CONSULTANT. YOU SHOULDN'T BE SO ADAMANT ABOUT REFUSING. USUALLY, PEOPLE OF THIS SORT TEND TO PUSH BACK WHEN COERCED, I NEED TO MAKE HER MOVE OF HER OWN ACCORD... HOW SHOULD I WIN HER OVER? BECAUSE FOR YOU... SHOULD I THREATEN HER, OR SEDUCE HER? THIS MIGHT NOT BE SUCH A BAD DEAL AFTER ALL. IS SHE TREMBLING? HOW PITIFUL. SHE DOESN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT HER PATHETIC STATE ONLY STIMULATES A PREDATOR'S CURIOSITY FURTHER. MISS VIOLETA HERNANDEZ. DON'T YOU WANT TO GET REVENGE ON THE PRINCESS? REVENGE ON ERIKA...? NOW, TAKE THE BAIT. THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO IS EASILY SWEPT UP IN EMOTIONS... WHO KEEPS FALLING FOR THE ILLUSION OF LOVE DESPITE BEING INSULTED. JUST LIKE MY MOTHER. HER NECK IS SO PALE AND SLENDER... HER SCENT IS.... IT WAS THE SAME BACK THEN. A SCENT LIKE GREENERY MIXED WITH SOMETHING SWEET.... REVENGE... I DON'T WANT IT. WHAT? I WANT MARRIAGE. THAT'S WHY I DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY. NOT EVEN THE LUXURY TO THINK ABOUT REVENGE. TO ME... THAT TRULY IS A LUXURY. ...MARRIAGE? ISN'T MARRIAGE JUST A TRANSACTION WHERE BOTH PARTIES GIVE AND TAKE BASED ON THEIR OWN CONDITIONS? DUKE OTERO! I'M SURE YOU'VE RECEIVED MANY MARRIAGE PROPOSALS. WAS THE GROOM'S DOWRY NOT ENOUGH? IF YOU WANT, I CAN ARRANGE A MARRIAGE WHERE YOU'RE SOLD OFF. THOUGH, AT BEST, YOU'D ONLY END UP AS A MISTRESS OR A SECOND WIFE. DON'T INSULT ME LIKE THAT. I'M GOING TO MARRY SOMEONE I LOVE. ...LOVE? LOVE! NO MATTER HOW FOOLISH YOU ARE, HOW COULD YOU BRING LOVE INTO MARRIAGE.... I AM SERIOUS. SO PLEASE, DON'T TRY TO FORCE THAT PROPOSAL ON ME ANYMORE! ...AND WHILE WE'RE AT IT, THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE. I HEARD THAT YOU'VE BEEN SABOTAGING MY RELATIONSHIPS ALL THIS TIME. THAT YOU URGED MY LOVERS TO BREAK UP WITH ME BECAUSE I WASN'T ON THEIR LEVEL. WHAT...? AH, HUGO, THAT BRAT.... DID HE GO AROUND DOING THAT WHILE DISGUISED AS ME? TRYING TO PICK THOSE PESTS OFF OF THIS WOMAN? SO? I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU DID IT, BUT I'M ASKING YOU TO STOP. PLEASE DON'T DO IT AGAIN. AT THIS RATE, PEOPLE WILL THINK I'M THE ONE IN YOUR DEBT. I WILL MAKE SURE TO PAY BACK THE REPAIR COSTS. NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING? I'M NOT FINISHED YET. LADY HERNANDEZ. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — I Became the Affair Partner of a Trash Duke #8](/series/i-became-the-affair-partner-of-a-trash-duke-mxeul3ac/chapter-8-rx29ae) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/i-became-the-affair-partner-of-a-trash-duke-mxeul3ac ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
