Short filmTranscript
00:00Three days married to the foolish duke, and he was throwing a fit about moving out of our bedroom.
00:04I grabbed him and asked why. He blushed and stammered.
00:08When Sebastian sleep with you, Sebastian always wets the bed.
00:12I glanced down, and suddenly it all made sense.
00:16I helped him while blushing, and couldn't help teasing.
00:19Only little kids wet the bed. How can a duke be like a little kid?
00:23Later, the clingy fool returned to being the cold and elegant duke.
00:26He stayed close to me day and night, whispering.
00:30Only little kids wet the bed. Duchess, how can you be like a little kid?
00:34He really can fill me up. I'm the one who's foolish.
00:37I saved the Duke of Devonshire from drowning at the Hyde Park Spring Flower Show.
00:41In full view of everyone, our clothes were soaked through and our skin touched.
00:45The Queen granted us a royal marriage on the spot.
00:48On the wedding day, Mrs. Meghan combed my hair in the room, tears in her eyes.
00:52I laughed at her cheerfulness.
00:55It's a happy day, Mrs. Meghan. You should be happy for me. Why are you crying?
00:59Mrs. Meghan stopped. Her voice choked.
01:02I just pity you, my dear. You have such a hard fate.
01:06I heard that since the Duke of Devonshire was injured, his mind is like a child's.
01:11How can he be a good husband?
01:16Assassins broke into Buckingham Palace on Christmas Eve.
01:18The Duke was injured in the head while protecting the Queen and became mentally impaired.
01:23After the royal marriage was announced, all the debutantes in London laughed at me,
01:27saying I would marry a fool just to climb the social ladder.
01:29I didn't care.
01:30It's better than being married off to Vachant Thorne by father.
01:34The one from Thorne Manor?
01:36Mrs. Meghan opened her eyes in disbelief.
01:38Viscount Thorne was over 30, a notorious playboy in London.
01:42He was crippled in a horse racing accident in his youth,
01:44and since then had taken pleasure in torturing women.
01:47I nodded.
01:48I never thought father could be so heartless.
01:51When I was three, my mother fell seriously ill.
01:54Before she even died, father brought the pregnant Lady Blackwood into the manor.
01:57A few months later, the baby's cries became my mother's death sentence.
02:02From that day on, for the next several years, I grew up but my heart became dead.
02:07He ignored my stepmother's cruelty and allowed my stepsister Isabella to bully me.
02:11Now, to form an alliance with the Thorne family, he was pushing me into the fire.
02:15I had lived in seclusion for years and was too weak to resist.
02:19Above parental authority, the only thing I could think of was royal power.
02:22The Duke of Devonshire was the Queen's beloved cousin, and had been injured saving her.
02:26That day, I risked my life jumping into the lake to save him, betting everything on it.
02:31I had only wanted to ask the Queen for a royal decree, but I never expected.
02:36The broad and triumphant smile she wore that day.
02:41The sound of the wedding carriage bells grew louder and louder.
02:43The Duke of Devonshire was once such a brilliant and honorable man.
02:46I picked up my feather fan and whispered,
02:49His nature must be kind and easy to get along with.
02:53Marrying him is my good fortune.
02:55Don't worry, Mrs. Megan.
02:57Although I could comfort Mrs. Megan, I was actually scared inside.
03:01Marrying into a Duke's mansion, I feared that one wrong move could ruin my reputation.
03:05From the church to the return to the Duke's mansion, my heart raced and I dared not relax for a
03:10moment.
03:10When I sat on the bed, my hands were trembling with exhaustion.
03:13Because of nervousness, I unconsciously hid my face under the fan.
03:17But soon, there was a soft sound at the door.
03:20As the scent of sandalwood approached, my fan was gently lifted,
03:23and a stunningly handsome face suddenly loomed before me.
03:26Sebastian Cavendish wore a bright red wedding suit.
03:29His features were cold and sharp, but his eyes were clear and innocent.
03:32The Queen didn't lie.
03:34It really is the fairy sister from that day.
03:37I was surprised.
03:39Does Duke still recognize me?
03:41That day, Sebastian had choked on water and was still half conscious when I revived him,
03:46unable to recognize anyone.
03:47I thought he would have forgotten completely.
03:50Yes!
03:50He nodded and sat down beside me.
03:52He naturally wrapped his arms around mine and rested his head on my shoulder, coquettishly.
03:57The lake was so cold, so cold.
04:00It was sister who saved Sebastian.
04:04Sebastian was tall and broad.
04:06His voice the deep, clear tone of an adult man.
04:09His childlike coquetry made the newly arrived servants cover their mouths and giggle.
04:13The Duke is very fond of the Duchess.
04:15I blushed and instinctively looked at the man beside me.
04:18But in an instant, Sebastian's attention was caught by the crystal wind chime on the headboard,
04:22and he played with it happily.
04:24He really is foolish.
04:25How could he know what love is?
04:27Never mind.
04:28It doesn't matter.
04:29Your Highness, it's time for the wedding toast.
04:33Sebastian immediately put down the chime and turned to me obediently, smiling.
04:37After drinking a glass, he frowned.
04:40It's so bitter and spicy.
04:42Before Mrs. Whitmore could fetch the macarons, he couldn't wait and ran to the table himself.
04:47The next second he ran back.
04:49He held the macaron to my lips.
04:54I was stunned for a moment and took a bite.
04:57A sweet taste filled my mouth, but my heart felt soft and aching.
05:00Since my mother died, no one had ever thought of me first, or fed me like this.
05:05My nerves, which had been taught all day, finally relaxed.
05:08Marrying this foolish Duke seemed better than I had imagined.
05:13After all the ceremonies, Sebastian was taken to wash up.
05:17Mrs. Whitmore helped me remove my makeup and said casually,
05:20The Duke is simple-marded now.
05:22If the Duchess treats him with sincerity, you will surely have a happy marriage.
05:26I understood her implication.
05:29Please speak plainly, Mrs. Whitfield.
05:31She handed me a thick illustrated book.
05:34The Duke likes Duchess and is willing to be close to her.
05:39But because of his injury, the marital duties will require the Duchess to take the initiative.
05:46Before entering the mansion, the governess had come to Blackwood Manor to teach me how to serve a husband.
05:51I knew then, Sebastian and I were to be a real married couple.
05:54But I never expected the Queen's reminder to come so quickly.
05:59Eleanor will follow Her Majesty's teachings.
06:03Mrs. Meghan left words.
06:05Her Majesty the Queen is hoping you will bear an heir for the Calvinish family.
06:09Soon.
06:10Am I trying to seduce a child?
06:13The feeling of guilt made my body feel hot.
06:15After washing up, I sat on the bed and opened the book.
06:19After only two pages, my face burning.
06:21The governess had only taught me how to serve a husband.
06:24Never that there could be so many variations.
06:27What are you reading, my lady?
06:31Sebastian had returned like a ghost.
06:34Duke.
06:35Sebastian smiled and nodded.
06:37My lady.
06:39He had been calling me sister just now.
06:41But after a bath he knew to change the title.
06:44Had someone also reminded him?
06:46I was curious.
06:48Who taught you to call me like this?
06:51It was Corey!
06:54Corey was Sebastian's personal raven,
06:56who had grown up with him and could speak human language.
07:00Foolish!
07:01Foolish!
07:02After the wedding, she is no longer the fairy sister.
07:04She is your wife.
07:06Fuck her heaven, dude.
07:10Sebastian had just bathed and changed into his silk nightgown.
07:12His strong chest faintly visible.
07:14As he spoke, he leaned towards me,
07:17his hands on the bed.
07:18Even that slight proximity made me feel overwhelmed.
07:21I instinctively moved back.
07:22Duke, take the initiative.
07:25Take the initiative.
07:26So I took a deep breath,
07:28moved closer to Sebastian,
07:29and placed my trembling hand on his chest.
07:33Did Corey tell you
07:35what a husband and wife do on their wedding night?
07:38Sebastian thought carefully for a moment
07:39and shook his head.
07:41His innocent look made me find him strangely endearing.
07:44I summoned up my courage and kissed him.
07:47Like this.
07:49Do you like it, Duke?
07:51Duke?
07:52Duke.
07:52Duke.
07:52Is my lady saving Sebastian
07:55like that day by the lake?
07:57But Sebastian is fine now.
07:59Is the Duke really foolish?
08:01How does he remember everything?
08:04For a moment,
08:05I didn't know how to explain the difference
08:07between a kiss and resuscitation,
08:08so I continued with actions.
08:10I kissed him again.
08:12You don't do this to save people.
08:14Only with your wife.
08:16Do you understand, Duke?
08:18Sebastian didn't speak.
08:19He just pressed his cool lips to mine,
08:21imitating what I had just done.
08:23He gently took my lower lip between him.
08:25He not only learned,
08:26but surpassed me.
08:28First, his tongue slipped into my mouth.
08:30Then he sucked my lower lip and murmured,
08:32Is this right, my lady?
08:33Soon, I was burning up from his kisses.
08:36I was summoning the courage to push him down.
08:38But Sebastian suddenly pushed me away.
08:41Before I could react,
08:42he had dived under the covers.
08:43No.
08:49Sebastian.
08:50Sebastian wants to sleep.
08:52You should rest too, my lady.
08:54Sebastian slept until the next morning.
08:56I finished dressing,
08:58but Sebastian still refused to get out of bed.
09:00Fortunately,
09:01a message came from the palace.
09:03The queen,
09:04knowing Sebastian was not fully recovered,
09:06excused us from the morning audience.
09:08I thought Sebastian was just being lazy,
09:10so I let him be.
09:11But on the third day,
09:13Sebastian still refused to get up.
09:15And while I was eating breakfast,
09:17he was secretly moving his bedding out of the room.
09:19When I returned to the bedroom,
09:21I caught him on the bed,
09:22his bottom in the air,
09:23grabbing a pillow.
09:24I approached,
09:25confused.
09:26What are you doing, Duke?
09:28Sebastian was startled and stumbled,
09:30falling onto the bed.
09:32I reached out to help him,
09:33but he pulled away in panic.
09:35My hand froze in midair.
09:37I was at a loss for a moment.
09:39He had kissed me and held me last night.
09:41Why was he suddenly avoiding my touch?
09:43Had his old injury flared up,
09:45making him forget who I was?
09:47I withdrew my hand and asked carefully,
09:49does the Duke not recognize me anymore?
09:51Sebastian shook his head,
09:53hugging the pillow tightly,
09:54his voice small.
09:55Sebastian recognizes my lady.
09:57I breathed a sigh of relief.
09:59It seemed he was just being grumpy about getting up.
10:01But the next second,
10:02he dropped a bombshell.
10:04My lady,
10:05Sebastian wants to sleep in the guest chamber tonight.
10:07My heart skipped a beat.
10:09When I spoke again,
10:10my voice was hoarse.
10:11Does the Duke hate me?
10:13No,
10:13he said quickly.
10:15Sebastian likes my lady the most.
10:17It's just.
10:18It's just.
10:19He stammered,
10:20but refused to say why.
10:22He even tried to run away with the pillow.
10:24I quickly wrapped my arms around his waist.
10:26Sebastian froze,
10:28his voice trembling.
10:29My lady,
10:30can you let go of Sebastian?
10:31Let go?
10:32How could I?
10:34Three days married,
10:35no consummation,
10:36and now separate bedrooms?
10:37If this got out,
10:39I would lose all face.
10:40Thinking of this,
10:41I held him tighter.
10:43If the Duke doesn't tell me why you want to move,
10:45I won't let go.
10:46Sebastian struggled slightly,
10:48but not really.
10:49I took the opportunity to pull him onto the bed
10:51and straddled him.
10:53Sebastian grunted,
10:54his face turning bright red,
10:56but his hands instinctively wrapped around my waist.
10:58He buried his face in my neck,
11:00his voice barely audible.
11:02When I sleep with my lady,
11:03Sebastian always wets the bed.
11:05When my lady kisses me and holds me,
11:07I feel so good,
11:09but also so bad.
11:10I can't control it and,
11:12like now,
11:13like now,
11:14I felt what was different about him
11:16and immediately understood.
11:17It wasn't wetting the bed at all,
11:19it was.
11:20Sebastian looked up at me,
11:22his eyes red at the corners,
11:23his breathing rapid.
11:25My lady,
11:25am I sick?
11:26I shook my head slightly.
11:28The Duke is not sick.
11:29He frowned,
11:30on the verge of tears,
11:31but I feel bad.
11:33His soft whisper took on a different meaning
11:35in the quiet bedroom.
11:36I covered his chattering mouth.
11:38Shoo,
11:38be good and I'll help you.
11:40Sebastian blinked obediently.
11:42My trembling hands untied the sash of his nightgown.
11:44I don't know how long passed before I heard Sebastian's muffled groan.
11:48My hand and the bed sheets were a mess.
11:50Sebastian's face was flushed,
11:52the redness spreading down his neck.
11:54His normally cold features look almost seductive now.
11:57Noticing me watching,
11:58he buried his face in my shoulder in embarrassment.
12:00I was already burning up,
12:02but seeing him even more shy than me made me want to tease him.
12:05I held out my trembling hand in front of him.
12:08Only little kids wet the bed.
12:09How can a Duke be like a little kid?
12:11You've dirted my hand.
12:13Duke.
12:14Sebastian came to his senses and hurriedly grabbed a linen handkerchief to clean my hand without a word.
12:18But as he cleaned,
12:20big tears fell onto the back of my hand.
12:22I panicked.
12:23What's wrong,
12:24Duke?
12:25Sebastian pouted.
12:26It's bad.
12:27It dirted my lady.
12:29Sebastian will cut it off.
12:30As soon as he finished speaking,
12:32he dropped the handkerchief and grabbed my hair comb,
12:35about to stab himself.
12:36I was horrified and grabbed his arm.
12:38I was teasing you.
12:40It's not dirty.
12:42Sebastian,
12:42afraid of hurting me,
12:44immediately relaxed his grip.
12:45He sniffled.
12:46But Sebastian is so old and still wets the bed,
12:49and it's white.
12:50Am I sick?
12:51I didn't know how to explain to Sebastian.
12:53I thought hard and asked softly.
12:55Do you still feel bad now?
12:57Duke?
12:58Sebastian thought for a moment,
13:00then shook his head,
13:01blushing.
13:02When my lady touches me,
13:03I feel good.
13:04So you're not sick,
13:05and you didn't wet the bed.
13:07I wiped his tears away.
13:09This happens because you want to be close to me.
13:11This is normal between husband and wife.
13:13He was stunned.
13:15Between husband and wife?
13:16Are we husband and wife?
13:18I nodded.
13:19Yes,
13:20we are.
13:21Sebastian nodded thoughtfully,
13:22but still looked confused.
13:24I thought he didn't understand,
13:25so I stopped trying to explain.
13:28I was about to get out of bed to wash my hands.
13:31Sebastian suddenly laid me down on the bed and said softly.
13:34Then Sebastian wants to make my lady feel good too.
13:36Wait.
13:37My words were swallowed by Sebastian's kiss.
13:39His long hand caressed me from my waist down.
13:42Just as he untied the sash of my dress,
13:44there was a knock at the door from Mrs. Whitmore.
13:47Duchess,
13:48it's time to leave to visit your parents.
13:50I had not planned to take Sebastian back to my parents' home.
13:53My mother had been dead for years,
13:54and my father was a stranger.
13:56There was no one to share my wedding joy with,
13:59but bad manners would lead to gossip.
14:01I didn't want the Duke's mansion to be accused of arrogance,
14:03and I didn't want Sebastian to go.
14:05That manner was full of human cruelty.
14:08It was better if he never knew.
14:10But Sebastian insisted,
14:12and had already climbed into the carriage before me.
14:14Sebastian must stay by my lady's side always,
14:17to protect my lady.
14:18Seeing his serious face,
14:20I couldn't help pinching his cheek.
14:22Did Cory teach you this too?
14:23His cheek was soft and elastic,
14:25and I suddenly realized what I had done.
14:28I was about to pull away,
14:29but Sebastian grabbed my wrist.
14:31The next second,
14:32he nuzzled my hand like a puppy.
14:34My lady can pinch me.
14:36No one needs to teach me to protect my lady.
14:39Sebastian blinked.
14:40My lady.
14:41Yes.
14:42Sebastian has learned to swim.
14:43If I fall into the water again,
14:45my lady won't have to risk her life to save me.
14:48I felt the warmth of his hand,
14:49and my heart started beating wildly for no reason.
14:52Don't talk nonsense.
14:54The Duke will always be safe and sound.
14:56As soon as I finished speaking,
14:58the carriage stopped in front of Blackwood Manor.
15:00The entire household was already standing respectfully at the door to greet us.
15:04Father knew that the Blackwood family had always relied on royal favor,
15:08and who was closest to the royal family.
15:10Since I received the royal marriage decree,
15:12his attitude towards me had changed completely.
15:15He acted as if we had never had any differences.
15:17I could only pretend along with him.
15:19I accepted all the generous dowry he sent to the Duke's mansion.
15:23And now,
15:24as he served me food at the table,
15:25I accepted that too.
15:27But someone couldn't stand it.
15:29As soon as a shrimp was placed in my bowl,
15:31Sebastian suddenly stood up.
15:33My lady gets a rash when she eats shrimp.
15:35You deliberately gave her one, didn't you?
15:38You want to hurt her.
15:39I'll beat you up.
15:41You bad man.
15:42Before anyone could react,
15:44Sebastian had already punched Father in the face.
15:46He had trained in fencing and boxing,
15:48and the punch was full force,
15:50knocking Father out of his chair.
15:52Father lay on the ground moaning in pain,
15:54but no one in the room dared to help him.
15:56Everyone lowered their heads.
15:57Your grace, please calm down.
16:00Only Isabella muttered unhappily,
16:02How can you hit someone?
16:03She didn't finish her sentence before her stepmother covered her mouth and pushed her head down.
16:08Sebastian snorted,
16:09took my hand,
16:10and walked straight out.
16:12My lady,
16:12we will never eat with bad people again.
16:15Let's go home.
16:16It wasn't until we were back in the carriage that I came to my senses.
16:19I grabbed Sebastian's hand and examined it closely.
16:22His voice came from above me,
16:24slightly nervous.
16:25My lady,
16:26did Sebastian do something wrong?
16:28Fortunately,
16:29his hand wasn't hurt.
16:30I breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at him.
16:33He stroked my forehead.
16:35My lady is not happy.
16:36You're not smiling anymore.
16:38Smile?
16:39Sebastian reminded me.
16:41I thought of Father lying on the ground,
16:43humiliated and unable to say a word,
16:45and couldn't help laughing.
16:47I laughed until I fell into Sebastian's arms.
16:49Sebastian had never seen me like this.
16:52He hugged me tightly,
16:53stammering to comfort me.
16:55Please don't be angry with me,
16:57my lady.
16:57Sebastian wanted to protect you.
16:59I hit him because I was worried.
17:01I promise I'll never hit anyone again.
17:04I'm not angry.
17:05I stopped and smiled at him.
17:07Sebastian,
17:08I'm so happy.
17:09I had never imagined such a scene.
17:11I had never thought anyone would stand up for me.
17:14In the simplest way,
17:15he had punished the father I had resented for years,
17:18but could do nothing about.
17:19I didn't know how satisfying it would be to see him punched like that.
17:22I even thought,
17:24hit him harder,
17:25harder.
17:26Sebastian tilted his head,
17:27not quite believing me.
17:28Really?
17:29I nodded sincerely,
17:31really.
17:32Seeing he still didn't believe me,
17:34I kissed his lips.
17:35Do you believe me now?
17:36I'm really happy.
17:38He blushed instantly,
17:39his eyes darting around.
17:41Then did Sebastian protect my lady?
17:43Sebastian's shy look was so adorable.
17:45Yes.
17:46I kissed him again.
17:48So this is your reward.
17:50Sebastian's eyes lit up,
17:51and he leaned in clingily.
17:53Then Sebastian once more.
17:54He held me on his lap and kissed me.
17:56Soon,
17:57he was nuzzling my shoulder and murmuring.
17:59I felt his change and whispered in his ear.
18:02Does Sebastian want more rewards?
18:04Sebastian murmured,
18:05like the one this morning,
18:06my lady?
18:07Who said the duke was foolish?
18:09He caught on quickly enough.
18:11I bit his earlobe gently,
18:12more than this morning.
18:14Let's consummate our marriage,
18:15okay?
18:15As soon as we finished dinner,
18:18Sebastian pestered me for his reward.
18:20Corey,
18:21standing nearby,
18:22didn't understand.
18:23Seeing how excited Sebastian was,
18:25he thought it was something fun
18:26and asked as usual.
18:28What reward has made the duke so happy?
18:30The reward is that the lady is going to-
18:33MMMMMMMMM.
18:34I quickly covered his mouth,
18:36blushing,
18:36and pulled him into the bedroom.
18:38Duke,
18:38this is a secret between the two of us.
18:40You can't tell anyone else,
18:42understand?
18:43I was so focused on talking to him
18:45that I didn't notice how intimate our position was.
18:47I had Sebastian pressed against the bedroom door.
18:50I was standing on tiptoe to cover his mouth,
18:53and being shorter than him,
18:54my body was pressed completely against his.
18:57Sebastian's ears turned red.
18:59His body reacted.
19:01He obediently murmured yes,
19:02his voice hoarse.
19:03I slowly released my hand
19:05and wrapped my arms around his shoulders.
19:07Before I could speak,
19:09Sebastian understood.
19:10He lifted me up in his arms
19:12and carried me to the bed.
19:13Beneath the silk curtains,
19:15the candlelight was warm and soft.
19:17I knelt before Sebastian,
19:18undressing him one piece at a time,
19:20then trembling as I undid my own dress.
19:22Just as I touched the sash of my dress,
19:24Sebastian took my hand.
19:26He smiled sweetly at me.
19:27My lady helped me undress,
19:29so I must help my lady.
19:30His movements were awkward and clumsy,
19:32but very patient.
19:34In the end,
19:35I couldn't wait any longer.
19:37While he was still studying the sash,
19:38I undid the last fastener myself.
19:40I climbed on top of him.
19:42I didn't expect it to hurt so much.
19:45I bit my lip,
19:46but couldn't hold back the tears.
19:48Sebastian was terrified
19:49and immediately pulled away.
19:50He leaned over the bed,
19:52clumsily and anxiously wiping my tears,
19:54and gently pulled my lip
19:55from between my teeth.
19:56Don't cry, my lady.
19:58Sebastian doesn't want the reward anymore.
20:00Afraid I would hurt myself.
20:02He kissed me to stop me.
20:04He gently parted my lips,
20:05kissing me tenderly and deeply.
20:07I felt better and wanted to try again,
20:09but Sebastian refused absolutely.
20:12Sebastian doesn't want my lady to cry.
20:14I won't cry this time.
20:16My lady is lying.
20:18Really?
20:18I blinked and suggested,
20:20then you be on top, Duke.
20:22Sebastian was even more anxious.
20:24Sebastian doesn't know how.
20:25I had no choice but to fumble
20:27for the book hidden under the bed
20:28and handed it to him,
20:29blushing.
20:30Sebastian opened it curiously,
20:32and his pupils suddenly dilated.
20:34I whispered,
20:35the Duke is so smart.
20:36You'll learn in no time.
20:38But as Sebastian turned the pages,
20:40I realized something was wrong.
20:42Why did the book get stranger and stranger,
20:44full of illustrations of men pleasing women?
20:46Had Mrs. Whitmore given me the wrong book?
20:48But Sebastian studied it carefully,
20:51as if he were examining an ancient manuscript.
20:53I tried to take the book away in embarrassment,
20:56but he tossed it aside and pinned me down on the bed.
20:59He kissed my forehead,
21:00his voice serious.
21:01My lady, Sebastian has learned.
21:04I don't know if it was my imagination.
21:06Sebastian's eyes had become incredibly deep,
21:09impossible to look directly at.
21:10I closed my eyes,
21:12blushing,
21:12as soft kisses fell on my lips,
21:14my neck,
21:15and lower.
21:16Until I realized he had no intention of stopping,
21:19and I panicked,
21:20trying to push him away.
21:21But he took my hands and placed them on his shoulders.
21:24A restless,
21:25new sensation washed over me.
21:27I couldn't help moaning softly,
21:29letting go of all my tension.
21:31After that,
21:31everything was like an endless wave,
21:33carrying me out to sea.
21:35Sometimes gentle and tender,
21:37sometimes wild and fierce.
21:38I stared dazedly,
21:40listening to the crystal wind chime on the bed canopy ring all night long.
21:43Lord Blackwood had said the wrong thing in Parliament.
21:46The Queen had fined him one year's seat in the House of Lords
21:48and ordered him to remain under house arrest.
21:50But everyone knew that the Queen governed with kindness
21:52and rarely took offense at words.
21:54This was a sign that the Blackwood family was falling out of favor.
21:57When Lady Blackwood's calling card arrived at the Duke's mansion,
22:01Sebastian was lying on my lap,
22:02his mouth open waiting for me to feed him strawberries.
22:05He had developed a taste for it,
22:07and had clung to me constantly for the past two weeks.
22:10Sebastian learned everything quickly.
22:12Afterwards,
22:13he would personally bathe me,
22:15dry my hair,
22:16and give me massages.
22:17I always felt so relaxed that I couldn't keep my eyes open,
22:20and naturally couldn't refuse him.
22:22But I didn't expect to tire him out.
22:24The night before,
22:26when he carried me back to bed after bathing,
22:28he had stumbled dizzily.
22:29I was so scared that I sent Cory to fetch the physician first thing in the morning.
22:33Fortunately,
22:34there was nothing seriously wrong.
22:36The physician just blushed and told me to make sure he didn't overexert himself.
22:40I didn't let Sebastian touch me for two days,
22:43which only gave him more reason to be clingy.
22:45He stopped reading and stopped fencing practice.
22:47He just stayed by my side,
22:49even feeding me water himself.
22:51When I tried to get out of bed,
22:53he wrapped his arms around my waist and rumored,
22:55Where is my lady going?
22:57Sebastian wants to go too.
22:58I knew why Lady Blackwood had come,
23:00and I didn't want Sebastian to see her.
23:02I cupped Sebastian's face and kissed him.
23:05Does the Duke want to go to Fortnum and Mason for roast goose?
23:08Sebastian's eyes lit up.
23:09Yes.
23:10Can we go now,
23:11my lady?
23:12I nodded.
23:13First let Cory help you with today's lessons,
23:15then we'll go together.
23:16Okay?
23:17The lessons were actually daily physical exercises.
23:20The physician said exercise would help Sebastian's brain recover.
23:23At the mention of lessons,
23:25Sebastian's face fell.
23:26Sebastian doesn't want to do lessons.
23:28The physician said regular exercise will help you recover faster.
23:32I breathed softly in his ear.
23:34Doesn't the Duke want his reward anymore?
23:36Sebastian hesitated between lessons and reward,
23:39then finally left with Cory.
23:41Looking back over his shoulder every step,
23:43I changed my clothes and went to the drawing room.
23:46Lady Blackwood hadn't touched her tea.
23:48When she saw me,
23:49she fell to her knees with a thud.
23:51Please,
23:52Duchess,
23:53save Isabella.
23:54Lord Blackwood has suffered a setback in Parliament,
23:56and now he wants to marry Isabella to Thorne Manor to gain favor.
23:59I signaled the maid to help her up.
24:01Viscount Thorne is a suitable match for the Blackwood family.
24:05Isabella is not marrying beneath her.
24:07Why do you use the word save,
24:09Lady Blackwood?
24:10Lady Blackwood's eyes filled with tears.
24:12Perhaps you don't know.
24:13Duchess,
24:14Viscount Thorne is impotent and cruel to women.
24:16He beats and abuses his mistresses.
24:19He is not a good husband.
24:21Lady Blackwood had a gentle face and spoke softly.
24:24But she had used this gentle knife to stab me for years.
24:27She had entered the manor and driven my mother to her death.
24:30Stolen her dowry,
24:31prevented me from going to school with Isabella,
24:33forced me to copy the Bible in the family chapel day and night,
24:36and even,
24:36I pulled myself back to the present and sipped my tea.
24:39So you knew all this.
24:41But when you and Lord Blackwood decided that marrying me to Viscount Thorne was the best way to form an
24:45alliance,
24:46why didn't you think he wasn't a good match then?
24:48She looked up in disbelief.
24:50How did you know?
24:51Yes.
24:52She had specifically told father not to tell me in advance.
24:55She had waited until the marriage contracts were exchanged,
24:58so I would have no way to resist.
25:00But Isabella couldn't help herself.
25:02She had been so happy that I was marrying such a man that she had come to mock me in
25:05the middle of the night.
25:06I smiled slightly.
25:07I have Isabella to thank.
25:10If she hadn't told me in advance,
25:12I wouldn't have had time to save myself.
25:14I will personally give her a generous dowry on her wedding day.
25:17Lady Blackwood was stunned,
25:18her eyes widening.
25:19Save yourself.
25:20You dared to scheme against the royal family.
25:23Scheme?
25:24Where is the evidence?
25:25I smiled and shook my head.
25:27I don't understand what you mean,
25:28Lady Blackwood.
25:29I signaled for the servant to show her out.
25:31But Lady Blackwood suddenly grabbed my wrist,
25:34her eyes blazing.
25:35You were the only one with the duke when he fell into the lake at the flower show.
25:38Was it you who?
25:40Emergency.
25:41Her words were cut off.
25:43Cory flew into the drawing room in a panic.
25:45Duchess,
25:46the duke has fainted.
25:47Sebastian was unconscious for an entire day,
25:50and didn't wake up until dark.
25:51The physician had examined him.
25:54His pulse was steady and strong,
25:55so the physician dared not make a hasty diagnosis.
25:58He could only observe him for the night,
26:00and decide what to do if he still hadn't woken up.
26:03I sat by the bed watching him,
26:05and accidentally fell asleep in the early hours of the morning.
26:08When I woke up,
26:09I found myself lying in bed,
26:10properly covered with the quilt,
26:12but the space beside me was empty.
26:14My heart skipped a beat,
26:16and I rolled over to get out of bed.
26:17I stumbled and fell towards the floor.
26:20I instinctively closed my eyes.
26:22The expected pain never came.
26:24A strong arm pulled me into an embrace,
26:26and I was surrounded by the familiar scent of sandalwood.
26:29I looked up in surprise,
26:31Sebastian,
26:32you're awake.
26:32But when I met his unfamiliar,
26:34clear eyes,
26:35my words died in my throat.
26:36I immediately understood.
26:39The man before me was no longer the foolish Sebastian,
26:41but the cold and elegant Duke of Devonshire.
26:44A chill ran down my spine.
26:45I quickly pulled away from his embrace,
26:48and said respectfully,
26:49your grace.
26:50Sebastian was still holding me.
26:52He hesitated for a moment before releasing me,
26:54and nodding slightly.
26:55His voice was still deep and clear,
26:57but it lacked the warmth and affection it usually had for me.
27:00Does he not remember me?
27:02My heart ached inexplicably.
27:04I bit my lip.
27:05I am Eleanor Blackwood.
27:06The Queen granted us a royal marriage.
27:08Before I could finish,
27:10Sebastian suddenly lifted me up in his arms
27:12and carried me back to bed.
27:13His tall body leaned over me.
27:15Sebastian placed his hands on either side of me on the bed,
27:18stopping just inches away.
27:20Why don't you call me Sebastian anymore?
27:22Hmm?
27:23I didn't hear him clearly.
27:24Sebastian sighed almost imperceptibly and repeated,
27:27you were calling me Sebastian just now.
27:30Why?
27:30He tilted his head and scoffed.
27:32You can call the fool that,
27:34but not the Duke.
27:35Sebastian's face was expressionless,
27:37but I could see a hint of,
27:39jealousy.
27:40What?
27:40It's still him.
27:42Is he,
27:43jealous of himself?
27:44But facing the Sebastian,
27:46I couldn't bring myself to call him by his first name.
27:48I had no choice but to tug at his sleeve and beg.
27:51Your grace.
27:52The soft quilt was pulled over me,
27:54wrapping me up tightly.
27:56Sebastian naturally wrapped his arms around me
27:58and closed his eyes.
27:59It's still dark.
28:01Go back to sleep.
28:02I had been nervous and scared.
28:04After all,
28:05this Sebastian was like a stranger to me.
28:07But when he held me,
28:08I felt no resistance at all.
28:10I obediently buried my face in his chest,
28:13listening to his steady,
28:14strong heartbeat,
28:15and gradually felt sleepy again.
28:17Half asleep,
28:17I felt a warm,
28:19soft touch on my forehead.
28:21Sebastian's voice whispered in my ear,
28:22Eleanor,
28:23I remember everything.
28:24The news of Sebastian's recovery reached the palace early the next morning.
28:28The queen was delighted and immediately summoned us to the palace.
28:32This was actually the first time I had met the queen since our wedding.
28:35I was nervous about the royal etiquette,
28:37and sat stiffly in the carriage the whole way.
28:39Suddenly,
28:40a warm hand covered mine.
28:42Sebastian took my hand and comforted me calmly.
28:44Don't be afraid.
28:46The queen likes you very much.
28:48Where did he get that conclusion?
28:49He had been a fool when the marriage was granted.
28:52How could he know what the queen thought?
28:54I looked up at Sebastian but said nothing.
28:56He read my mind perfectly.
28:58He stroked the back of my hand gently.
29:00If she didn't like you,
29:02why would she have granted us the royal marriage?
29:04I didn't catch the deeper meaning in his words,
29:06and thought he was just asking me.
29:08I thought for a moment and replied softly,
29:11perhaps for the sake of royal dignity?
29:12First, I had saved Sebastian and deserved a reward.
29:16Second, we had been seen in close proximity in public,
29:19which had compromised his honor.
29:21Combined, these two reasons probably led to the marriage warrant.
29:25Sebastian laughed and pinched my cheek,
29:27Eleanor.
29:28How can you be so foolish?
29:29I mumbled, not daring to pull away.
29:32I am naturally not as intelligent as your grace.
29:35Sebastian released me and gently rubbed my cheek.
29:37From now on, don't call me Duke in private.
29:40I was confused, then what should I call you?
29:43He paused, his voice becoming cold again.
29:46Think about it yourself.
29:47I was already nervous, and when Sebastian turned cold,
29:51I couldn't say a word.
29:52The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
29:54After a few streets, the man beside me spoke again.
29:58Still nervous?
29:59I nodded honestly.
30:01Sebastian's Adam's apple moved,
30:02and his voice became inexplicably hoarse.
30:05I have a way to make you less nervous.
30:06As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled me towards him.
30:10I was lifted onto Sebastian's lap.
30:12Before I could react, he kissed me.
30:15This Sebastian was very different.
30:17His kisses were no longer gentle and yielding.
30:20They were deep and intense, as if he wanted to devour me whole.
30:23He had undone half the sash of my dress.
30:26Sebastian whispered in my ear, his voice hoarse.
30:29Do you want this?
30:30I came to my senses.
30:32I felt his arousal.
30:34I didn't know how things had come to this.
30:36I sat stiffly on his lap, my mind blank, and answered instinctively.
30:40Someone will hear us.
30:42The carriage was moving through the busy streets of London, people everywhere,
30:45and Corey was just outside the door.
30:47Sebastian paused and laughed softly in my ear.
30:50Then be quiet, my lady.
30:52This is our secret.
30:54No one else must hear.
30:55With that, he unhesitatingly pulled open the sash of my dress.
30:59The carriage drove around Hyde Park for an entire hour.
31:01By the time we arrived at the palace, it was almost noon.
31:05When Sebastian led me into the white drawing room at Buckingham Palace,
31:09Lady Blackwood and a maid were kneeling on the floor.
31:12Sebastian and I bowed respectfully.
31:14The queen glanced at Sebastian.
31:16You have only just recovered, and already you are misbehaving.
31:19You have kept me waiting for nearly an hour.
31:21Her words sounded like a rebuke, but her tone was full of indulgence and affection.
31:26Sebastian helped me up and smiled.
31:28It was my idea.
31:29I took Eleanor to Hyde Park to see the tulips, and we lost track of time.
31:33Please forgive us, your majesty.
31:36The queen snorted and ordered seats for us.
31:38Then she turned to Lady Blackwood.
31:40Lady Blackwood, repeat what you just told me.
31:43Lady Blackwood curtsied deeply.
31:44It is my fault for not raising my daughter properly.
31:47I did not know that Eleanor would use such despicable means to attach herself to the
31:50Duke for wealth and status.
31:52She nudged the maid beside her.
31:54The maid trembled and spoke.
31:55At the flower show, I personally saw the Duchess drop some wet pebbles by the pond, which caused
32:00the Duke to fall in.
32:01Fool.
32:02I had thrown out a simple bait, and she had taken it hook, line, and sinker.
32:06She actually thought I had staged the whole thing to save Sebastian, and she dared to accuse
32:11me to the queen without any evidence.
32:13The queen said calmly.
32:14What do you have to say, Duchess?
32:16My knees buckled, and I was about to kneel, when a hand suddenly tightened around my waist.
32:22Sebastian's eyes flickered open, his voice cold and disdainful, accusing your own stepdaughter.
32:27You truly have a heart of a viper.
32:29Lady Blackwood stiffened, tears in her eyes.
32:32Your grace.
32:32If Eleanor had not admitted it herself, I would never have dared.
32:36Sebastian clicked his tongue impatiently, interrupting her.
32:39You mean Eleanor admitted to something she never did, just so you could frame her?
32:43Who said I fell into the pond because I stepped on pebbles?
32:46I was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.
32:49But that was exactly what had happened.
32:51Sebastian squeezed my hand, his voice softening.
32:54I went into the water to catch a swan.
32:56I didn't know how deep the pond was, and that's why I drowned.
33:00After the Duchess saved me, I fell in love with her at first sight.
33:03I was afraid she would think me foolish, so I said I had slipped.
33:07He paused, his eyes sweeping over the kneeling maid.
33:10My casual remark became something you personally saw, you insolent servant?
33:14The maid was terrified and looked helplessly at Lady Blackwood.
33:18But before she could speak, the Queen waved her hand, take them away.
33:22Everything happened so quickly.
33:24By the time I came to my senses, the two had already been dragged away by the palace guards.
33:29Lady Blackwood had falsely accused the Duchess, which should have been punished by the law of
33:33retaliation.
33:34In consideration of the Blackwood family's ancestral merits,
33:36her punishment was reduced to revocation of her court presentation rights,
33:40deprivation of her noble title, and house arrest in the manor.
33:43The Blackwood family was still the prestigious Blackwood family to the outside world.
33:47But those inside would never live comfortably again.
33:50The Queen heard that Sebastian was in the palace and sent for him to play chess.
33:53She invited us to stay at the palace for the night.
33:56That evening, when Sebastian returned to the room, he went straight to the bath.
34:00I heard him from the bed and tiptoed after him.
34:02When I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, he froze for a moment, then relaxed.
34:07Did I wake you, my lady?
34:09I shook my head and picked up a linen handkerchief to dry him off.
34:12Why did you lie today, Duke?
34:15I had personally seen Sebastian trip on the pebbles and fall into the pond.
34:18Not to catch a swan, as he had claimed.
34:21Sebastian took my hand and played with it casually.
34:24I know you could have proven your innocence,
34:26but this was the fastest and most permanent way to solve this.
34:29He paused.
34:31The Queen trusts me more than anyone, and she cares most about my feelings.
34:35Sebastian was right.
34:36The Queen loved her son dearly.
34:38She had let Lady Blackwood speak because she had actually doubted me.
34:42But after hearing Sebastian's words, she didn't need any proof from me.
34:46She quickly dealt with Lady Blackwood and remained kind to me.
34:49All of this was because of Sebastian's unconditional defense of me.
34:52Did you never doubt that Lady Blackwood was telling the truth?
34:55Anyone would be shaken to hear that someone had tried to harm them.
34:58Sebastian said calmly, because it wasn't the truth.
35:02I bit my lip and said hesitantly, but what if I had really had bad intentions?
35:06That day at the flower show, by the pond, seeing how innocent and childlike Sebastian was,
35:11I had indeed thought about using him.
35:13But when everything was ready, I couldn't bring myself to harm an innocent man,
35:17so I quickly removed the pebbles.
35:19But perhaps it was fate that Sebastian fell into the water anyway.
35:22I squeezed his hand and repeated, what if I had really had bad intentions?
35:26Before I could finish, Sebastian pulled me into the bath with him.
35:30My breath was taken away by a kiss in the steamy air.
35:33Until I couldn't bear it anymore and tears of exhaustion came to my eyes,
35:36Sebastian finally let me go.
35:38He held me tightly, his voice low and hoarse.
35:41No matter what, you would still have saved me, wouldn't you?
35:44I was stunned for a moment, then nodded eagerly.
35:47Yes, that's enough.
35:50Sebastian closed his eyes and kissed the corner of my eye.
35:52A feeling of being truly cherished washed over me.
35:55Both the foolish Sebastian and the Sebastian had been so gentle and loving to me.
35:59I choked up and couldn't hold back my tears.
36:02I'm sorry.
36:03I just wanted to ask for a royal decree.
36:06I didn't want to be married off to Viscount Thorn.
36:08Eleanor, you are my wife.
36:11He kissed away my tears and asked softly,
36:13Do you want to go to Fortnum and Mason for roast goose?
36:15I nodded dazedly.
36:17Sebastian smiled.
36:19I'll take you tomorrow after my audience with the Prime Minister.
