HUH? WELL... I NEED TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR WHAT HAPPENS AFTER OUR CONTRACT COMES TO AN END, DON'T I? - Create a new identity - Save up money - Enroll in university Fresh Start To Do List Create a new identity - Save up money THE HIDDEN HAND OF THE ART WORLD I THOUGHT I SHOULD START PLANNING AHEAD FOR WHAT TO DO AFTER THREE YEARS. IF YOU TRULY NEED A LAWYER... I'M MORE THAN WILLING TO HANDLE MATTERS ON YOUR BEHALF. WELL, I DON'T WANT TO BE A BOTHER. I'M ALLOWED TO SPEAK TO A LAWYER ON MY OWN, AREN'T I? BESIDES, IT'LL BE MORE EFFICIENT. WELL, JOSEPH— I MEAN, OUR LAWYER, COMES BY ONCE A MONTH. BUT IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE HIM SOONER, I CAN ASK WHEN HE'LL BE AVAILABLE. THANK YOU, MY LORD. GOOD NIGHT. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF HER. SHE BLUSHES AT THE SMALLEST THINGS... BUT SHE NEVER GETS SHY ABOUT BUTTING HEADS WITH ME. FROM OUR VERY FIRST MEETING, IT WAS CLEAR THAT SHE WAS QUITE THE BOLD, INDEPENDENT GIRL... BUT THREE YEARS IS A LONG TIME... I'M SURE I CAN CONVINCE HER TO CHANGE HER MIND. THERE'S NO NEED TO GET HASTY... Things to Question 1. Devoted to his family (goes on his mother's errands) 2. Where is Ben? 3. Hasn't met Elize yet ↳ Why? NUMBER THREE IS WHAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST. WHY HASN'T EDWIN AND ELIZE MET EACH OTHER YET? ACCORDING TO THE ORIGINAL STORY, THE TWO ARE SUPPOSED TO MEET AT THE BRISTON BALL. ELIZE WANTED TO OBSERVE EDWIN FREELY, WITHOUT DRAWING ATTENTION TO HERSELF. AND SO, SHE DISGUISED HERSELF BY DYING HER HAIR AND WEARING GLASSES. HOWEVER, AS A MYSTERIOUS, NAMELESS BEAUTY... SHE NATURALLY ATTRACTED A LOT OF ATTENTION... ...AND SHE FLED TO THE TERRACE TO ESCAPE THE CROWDS. THAT'S WHERE SHE MET EDWIN, WHO WAS ALSO TRYING TO AVOID ATTENTION. BUT EDWIN SPENT THE ENTIRE BALL WITH ME. EUNICE AND I WERE LATE TO ARRIVE... SO HE SHOULD HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO RUN INTO ELIZE BEFORE I EVEN GOT THERE... OR MAYBE THEY MET, BUT WEREN'T PARTICULARLY DRAWN TO ONE ANOTHER? NO, THAT'S... ...IMPOSSIBLE!! FANGIRL A READER MUST REJECT THE NONCANONICAL I WAS SO DISTRACTED BY EDWIN'S PROPOSAL THAT I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE ORIGINAL PLOT. AND I WAS SO BUSY AFTERWARD THAT I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO MULL IT OVER. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS EDWIN... I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD HIM BETTER THAN ANYONE. BUT ONE THING'S FOR SURE... I'VE GOT NO TIME TO WASTE. THREE YEARS ISN'T MUCH TIME AT ALL! SAME PATH, DIFFERENT JOURNEYS OH! I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE ALREADY LEFT. I'M ABOUT TO LEAVE NOW. I WANTED TO GIVE YOU SOMETHING BEFORE I LEFT. HERE'S THE BUSINESS CARD OF THE LAWYER I MENTIONED. OH, THANK YOU. WHY'S HE GIVING ME THIS NOW...? WAS HE WAITING AROUND JUST TO GIVE THIS TO ME? DON'T STAY OUT FOR TOO LONG. YOU SHOULD RETURN HOME BEFORE IT GETS TOO LATE. WHAT...? WHY? IS THERE ANY REASON I NEED TO BE HOME EARLY? A GANG OF THIEVES IS SAID TO BE PROWLING THE OUTSKIRTS OF THE CAPITAL. APPARENTLY THEY LIKE TO TARGET LADIES WHO ARE ON THE ROAD AFTER DARK. THE CAPITAL POLICE HAVE HAD THEIR HANDS FULL WITH THIS CASE. THE STREETS ARE CRAWLING WITH PEELERS, SO IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME TILL THEY'RE CAUGHT... *PEELER: NICKNAME FOR THE CAPITAL'S POLICE FORCE BUT IT NEVER HURTS TO BE CAREFUL. I SEE... I'LL MAKE SURE TO BE CAREFUL, THEN. DUKE BRISTON. I'LL GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT, SINCE I KNOW HOW MUCH YOU HATE BEATING AROUND THE BUSH. IT'S NOT LIKE I'M DEMANDING THAT YOU HAND OVER KIRISTAN IMMEDIATELY... SO FRANKLY, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE BEING STUBBORN. IT'D BE SUCH A SHAME TO LET THAT PRESTIGIOUS PEDIGREE GO TO WASTE. YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE AWAY THOSE GOOD GENES TO ANY OLD MARE, DO YOU? BELIEVE ME YOUR MAJESTY, IT TRULY DEVASTATES ME TO HAVE TO KEEP TURNING DOWN YOUR OFFER. YOU DON'T LOOK ALL THAT DEVASTATED TO ME. HOW ABOUT IN THREE YEARS, THEN? HE'S STILL A YOUNG HORSE, SO I'M WILLING TO WAIT A FEW YEARS. IT'S VERY POSSIBLE THAT I WILL HAVE TO TURN YOU DOWN THEN AS WELL. KIRISTAN ISN'T THE TYPE OF HORSE TO MATE WITH A MARE JUST BECAUSE I TELL HIM TO. IN EXCHANGE, IF KIRISTAN IS TO HAVE ANY OFFSPRING... IT SEEMS WE WON'T BE COMING TO AN AGREEMENT TODAY. WE'LL CONTINUE THIS DISCUSSION AT ANOTHER TIME. I AM WILLING TO GIVE FIRST BREEDING RIGHTS TO THE PALACE. FEEL FREE TO ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR VISIT, DUKE BRISTON. I HAVE OTHER MATTERS TO ATTEND TO, SO I BID YOU GOOD DAY. THANK YOU, YOUR MAJESTY. TSK... YOUR SKILLS NEVER CEASE TO IMPRESS, YOUR HIGHNESS. I THINK I MAY BE A BETTER HUNTER THAN MAX. DON'T YOU AGREE, JENNA? DUCHESS GENEVIEVE MOORE ELIZE'S LADY IN WAITING MAXIMILLIAN ELIZE'S PET GREYHOUND SIR MAX SEEMS TO THINK OTHERWISE, YOUR HIGHNESS. CHEEKY LITTLE PUP! OH. I WONDER WHAT BRINGS HIM ALL THE WAY HERE? I THOUGHT HE'D BE TOO BUSY ENJOYING HIS NEW MARRIED LIFE. IT'S DUKE BRISTON. SHALL I GO ASK HIM WHY HE'S HERE? NO, THAT'S ALRIGHT. OH, THAT REMINDS ME. WHAT WAS OUR GREAT MAJESTY'S LATEST OBSESSION, AGAIN? HE WANTED A PRIZE STALLION TO BREED, DIDN'T HE? ## See also - [WebtoonLib — The Duke's Obsession With His Wife #28: SAME PATH, DIFFERENT JOURNEYS](/series/the-duke-s-obsession-with-his-wife-5a64q63y/chapter-28-ctfmd5) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/the-duke-s-obsession-with-his-wife-5a64q63y ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
