"Conduct yourself as a proper human being. Hah! He should tell that to himself," I scoffed under my breath, pacing back and forth inside my small shack.
The sun hadn't set yet, and I could still see the knights outside. The usual quiet of the area had been replaced with the sound of knights building stables. But I couldn't care anymore. I didn't know what plans they had for this land or when they would ask me to leave this place.
After all, this land was not mine. I was merely living in this place illegally.
"Future duchess… he should give me more respect then," I mumbled, scoffing, as I couldn't let my brief conversation with Rufus go.
Although Samael frightened me to the core, he never truly belittled me to this degree. I perceived his bluntness more bearable than the words of that acting duke.
"Does it hurt his pride to be kind? The sheer thought he might kneel before a peasant if I become the duchess? What a jerk."
