UM... SHOULD I ANNOUNCE THEM EXACTLY AS WRITTEN...? YES. EXACTLY AS WRITTEN. AND MAKE SURE YOU ANNOUNCE THEM AS LOUDLY AS POSSIBLE. ...YES! LORD WILLIAM BLACKWOOD OF HOUSE BLACKWOOD, AND— LADY BELLA WALKER, NOBLE DAUGHTER OF HOUSE WALKER, ENTERING! HOUSE WALKER? DID LORD BLACKWOOD HASTILY BUY HER A TITLE? EVEN SO, ISN'T SHE JUST A MAID FROM HIS DUCAL MANOR? IF I WERE MARCHIONESS OTISSIER, I WOULD'VE FAINTED ON THE SPOT. FORCE HER WAY INTO THE PARTY SHE WENT TO SUCH LENGTHS TO HOST. TO HAVE SUCH AN IMPURE CREATURE FORCE HER WAY INTO THE PARTY. HOW VULGAR. THEIR GLARES FEEL SHARP ENOUGH TO CUT... HMM~... ARE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE? EVERYONE'S PRACTICALLY GLARING DAGGERS AT US. DON'T YOU THINK MY HANDS FEEL SWEATY? ...NOT AT ALL. UNBELIEVABLE. HOW CAN HE JOKE AROUND AT A TIME LIKE THIS? STILL, NONE OF THE TRULY INFLUENTIAL FIGURES FIGURES SEEM TO BE HERE... LORD BLACKWOOD. HIS HIGHNESS, CROWN PRINCE LEON, SUMMONS YOU. ALONG WITH THE YOUNG LADY ACCOMPANYING YOU. STAY QUIET, NO MATTER WHAT I SAY. THAT MAN IS... THE HEIR TO THE THRONE OF BLANCH... CROWN PRINCE LEON BLANCHESTEIN GOOD EVENING, YOUR HIGHNESS. WHICH MEANS— THE YOUNG DUKE HAS HIS SIGHTS SET ON THE THRONE. THIS CONFRONTATION BETWEEN THE TWO IS NOTHING SHORT OF WALKING A TIGHTROPE. WHERE A SINGLE MISSTEP COULD SEND SOMEONE PLUNGING TO THEIR DEATH. A TIGHTROPE SUSPENDED OVER A PRECIPICE, LORD BLACKWOOD. HAVE YOU FINALLY LOST YOUR MIND? IT HAS BEEN FAR TOO LONG, YOUR LONG, YOUR HIGHNESS. IT IS AN HONOR TO SEE YOU AGAIN. WHY IS THAT WOMAN BY YOUR SIDE INSTEAD OF IBRILLIAN? YOU KNEW FULL WELL THAT MY SISTER I WOULD BE ATTENDING, YET YOU CHOSE TO MAKE SUCH A DISPLAY... SHOULD I TAKE THIS TO MEAN YOU HAVE ULTERIOR MOTIVES? ULTERIOR MOTIVES? NOTIVES? NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A CLEAR DECLARATION OF HOUSE BLACKWOOD'S ALLEGIANCE TO YOUR HIGHNESS. AM I WRONG? MY LORD, I HEAR YOU'VE STOPPED VISITING THE AUCTION HOUSES LATELY. I ASSUME THAT MEANS YOU'VE FINALLY FOUND WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR... AM I WRONG? IT'S TRUE THAT... I FOUND IT. MY 'LOVE,' THAT IS. I'VE PLEDGED MY FUTURE TO THIS LADY. ...?! PLEDGED HIS FUTURE...? DID HE JUST TELL THE CROWN PRINCE TO HIS FACE THAT HE'S GOING TO MARRY ME? ...LOVE? IS THAT YOUR ANSWER TO MY QUESTION? YES. I NO LONGER HAVE ANY INTEREST IN TRIVIAL MATTERS SUCH AS POWER, HONOR, OR GOLD. HMM~... "NO INTEREST," YOU SAY... AND WHAT IF I TAKE THOSE WORDS AS AN INSULT TO THE ROYAL FAMILY? I TRUST YOU WON'T, FOR YOUR HIGHNESS SURELY UNDERSTANDS MY SINCERITY. HOWEVER, IF I'VE OFFENDED YOU, PLEASE PUNISH ME. I'LL ACCEPT IT WITHOUT COMPLAINT. WOULD WILLIAM BLACKWOOD REALLY RISK EVERYTHING OVER A MERE ROMANTIC AFFAIR? YOU'VE GIVEN ME AN EXCUSE THAT'S ALMOST DISGUSTINGLY TAILORED TO MY LIKING, WILLIAM BLACKWOOD. I DON'T ENTIRELY BELIEVE HIM, BUT I HAVE NO GROUNDS TO DETAIN HIM ANY LONGER... THAT WILL BE ENOUGH FOR TONIGHT. YOU TWO MAY RETURN AND ENJOY THE FESTIVITIES. WITHOUT LEAVING EACH OTHER'S SIDE FOR EVEN A MOMENT. I'M RELIEVED THINGS DIDN'T GET AS TENSE AS I'D FEARED, BUT... WAS THIS PART OF HIS PLAN, TOO? PRETENDING TO HAVE NO IN THE THRONE TO LET THE CROWN PRINCE'S GUARD DOWN? ...STILL, TO TELL SUCH AN OUTRIGHT LIE... WHAT? THAT WE'RE GETTING MARRIED? ...YES. IT WAS MERELY AN EXAGGERATION. AS LONG AS HIS HIGHNESS BELIEVED ME, ISN'T THAT ENOUGH? Besides, It's Not As Though I Actually Used The Word 'marriage.' AND IT IS A FACT THAT OUR RELATIONSHIP IS NO ORDINARY ONE. ONLY BECAUSE YOU HOLD ALL THE POWER, WHILE I HAVE NONE. ...I HAVE NO INTENTION OF BEING ANYTHING MORE THAN YOUR 'LOVER." YOU'RE NOT PLANNING TO CHANGE THE TERMS OF OUR CONTRACT TO SUIT YOURSELF, ARE YOU? I HAVE NO DESIRE TO BE BRANDED A WIDOWER, EITHER, YOU KNOW. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I KEEP MY PROMISES. WHETHER IT'S THE MEMENTOS OR ANYTHING ELSE, YOU'LL RECEIVE THE COMPENSATION I PROMISED YOU. WOULD YOU MIND NOT LOOKING AT ME SO DISTRUSTFULLY? FRANKLY, I HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN FROM DECEIVING YOU. AFTER ALL, I NEED YOU. ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Lord Blackwood Promised Me Death #16](/series/lord-blackwood-promised-me-death-e9i2u5f5/chapter-16-t8hryv) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/lord-blackwood-promised-me-death-e9i2u5f5 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
