I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 84

“I must have gotten the time wrong. I’m sorry. The Young Ladies all kept begging to see my dress, so I couldn’t help it.”

At Susan’s natural way of blaming the Young Ladies, the Young Ladies standing behind her looked at her with displeased eyes.

“Ah, so in the Western Region, you invite guests and then look at dresses.”

Dia pressed persistently.

“There are still many young Noble Ladies here.”

Susan smiled awkwardly and once again made excuses about the other Young Ladies.

Perhaps feeling that if she stayed next to Dia any longer she would only be apologizing, Susan looked around.

“Now, since this is a gathering to celebrate the Young Ladies Having Debutante, would everyone please raise your champagne glasses?”

The Young Ladies raised their champagne glasses.

“Congratulations on the Young Ladies’ debutante. Especially Lady Adriana, who went through many hardships – congratulations so much.”

Susan smiled brightly and raised her glass high.

Perhaps because it was a party without men, the Young Ladies each took a sip of champagne.

Meanwhile, Dia’s face hardened stiffly. Marine hurriedly approached Dia’s side.

“Are you okay?”

“Teacher Marine. I don’t like it here. Let’s just go.”

Marine looked at Dia with an apologetic face.

“I wanted to make friends for Dia.”

“Teacher Marine is my friend.”

Dia’s eyes widened as if asking what she was talking about.

At those words, Marine burst into laughter.

“Thank you for saying that.”

“I’m also very grate…”

“Oh my, she really has thick skin. I wonder if she lured His Grace like that while pretending to be kind?”

At the words that suddenly reached them, Dia couldn’t continue speaking and froze with a shocked face.

Marine patted Dia’s hand as if it was fine. Since she had revealed her past, she knew this kind of talk would come up.

“Seeing how she doesn’t get abandoned by His Grace even after losing her purity, you can tell, can’t you?”

“Her family went bankrupt.”

“Lady Adriana doesn’t seem to know anything. That’s why she’s sticking around, right?”

“How pitiful.”

Their malice was thick, dark, and vulgar.

Dia looked at Marine with worried eyes.

Marine smiled as if it was fine and swallowed a sigh.

This much didn’t really affect her. However, the problem was that just for being in the same place, Dia was hearing words she didn’t need to hear.

She had tried to endure it, but these people were poking the whiskers of a sleeping lion.

Marine patted Dia’s hand, then whirled around to look at the Young Ladies whispering among themselves.

Young Ladies around Dia’s age or younger than Dia were exchanging awkward glances with each other.

Such young Noble Ladies were all taking turns speaking like it was a play?

She was so dumbfounded that her fighting spirit fizzled out.

Susan, who had approached them at some point, opened her red lips with a stern expression.

“Oh my, Young Ladies. You shouldn’t say such things carelessly.”

“Sister, why not? It’s all true.”

The Blonde Lady, who was like the leader of the young Noble Ladies, threw a question at Susan with a face asking why she was only coming now.

“Even if it’s true, it’s rude.”

Marine snickered.

She thought Susan was trying to stop them because she was the host of this party, but she was actually making the lies into established facts.

Dia looked at her with an upset face, watching for her reaction.

Then, the Round-faced Young Lady hurriedly approached where the young Noble Ladies were gathered.

“Young Ladies, you shouldn’t say such things carelessly. If you spread lies carelessly, His Grace will scold you.”

Though she spoke as if scolding young Noble Ladies, it was clearly a warning.

“I heard everything too. Shouldn’t someone who went through such things not be beside Duke His Grace?”

The Blonde Lady asked argumentatively.

Then the Round-faced Young Lady shook her head with a troubled expression.

“Lady, please stop.”

“Oh my, Lady Borandy. Why are you being like that to my Younger Sibling? How unexpected. You used to admire Duke His Grace so much, and now you’re trying to cover up the truth.”

Susan mocked the Round-faced Young Lady, Borandy.

Borandy’s face flushed red and she spoke in a delicately trembling voice.

“Lady Susan. Though I certainly respect Duke His Grace, how could you spread such false rumors?”

“Respect? Is Lady Borandy’s secretly entering Duke His Grace’s room also part of that respect?”

Susan’s red lips formed a painted-like smile.

“Lady Susan, what do you mean by that? I’ve never done such a thing!”

Borandy protested with an aggrieved face.

For a Noble Lady, secretly intruding into a man’s room was the worst dishonor.

The Young Ladies around them looked at Borandy with surprised faces.

“Wasn’t that a different Lady?”

“I also thought it was someone else…”

Several Young Ladies looked back and forth between Susan and Borandy.

“Lady Susan! Why are you saying such things? I absolutely never did such a thing!”

Borandy’s lips trembled with an indignant face.

“Oh my, I also just heard the story. What can we do since there’s no evidence?”

Susan’s green eyes took on a cruel light.

She knew that among the Young Ladies, rumors were secretly circulating that the incident was something she had done. But just then, good prey appeared to take the blame for that rumor. It was an opportunity.

Tears welled up in Borandy’s large eyes, feeling wronged and indignant.

Finally, Marine, unable to bear it, intervened.

“Stop lying, Lady Air.”

Susan turned her head and glared at Marine.

“What do you mean?”

“The one who intruded into His Grace’s room wasn’t that Lady, but Lady Air. Why are you trying to pin it on another Lady?”

Susan looked at Marine fiercely with venomous eyes.

“Lady Schwentz is the one pinning it on me without any evidence.”

“What if there is evidence?”

Marine looked straight into Susan’s eyes.

Suddenly, Zeromian’s words about going to fight came to mind. He’s really smart for an Alchemist.

“If there’s evidence, please show it in front of these Young Ladies.”

Susan spoke confidently with a completely mocking face.

The Duke and Aide who could testify about that day weren’t at this gathering, so there was no way evidence could exist.

“Alright. Since you’ve given permission yourself, I’ll show you.”

When Marine touched her bracelet, suddenly an image appeared in the center of the greenhouse.

In that image was Susan, looking a bit younger than now, lying on a wide bed, hugging a pillow tightly and burying her face in it.

Then, the door opened silently and the Duke appeared in the image.

Though she had seen this image once before, Marine stared at the Duke’s black eyes as if entranced.

His silver eyes were beautiful, but his pitch-black eyes were also beautiful.

Susan froze completely at the Duke’s cold tone.

Oliver, who had followed behind, was looking at her with disdain.

The Duke turned away coldly.

Only then did Susan come to her senses and hurriedly get up from the bed.
