Beast of the Frozen Night Chapter 73.1

“That… At that time I… I was out of my mind.”

He repeated his words as if he had forgotten to breathe.

“It’s all my fault. I apologize for all of that. I committed an irreversible sin, and I used that sin as an excuse to trample you here again. It’s my undeniable fault, so I will take responsibility for everything.”

Daymond bitterly regreted last night.

As a result, with or without direct intervention, he had nothing to say. It was his own incompetence that caused her to leave, for misunderstanding her. And like she said, if he had done such a terrible thing, he deserved to apologize a hundred times.

Hearing those words, Anne quickly turned her head. The shimmering blue eyes were clouded like dark clouds full of rain.

“Daymond… That’s ridiculous. Do you think I would accept such an apology just by wrapping it in a little guilt and shallow regret? Regret it forever— even then, I won’t be able to forgive you.”

With eyes colder than before, Anne bit her lips. Was he trying to solve this problem with simple words? If that was possible, she wouldn’t be so angry.

“I don’t want to ask for forgiveness. You deserve an apology… So I intend to endure all your resentment.”

Anne looked outside, where the raindrops hit the floor. Her long fingers tapped the clear, dust-free window panes. As if she foreshadowed what was to come.

“You don’t want to ask for my forgiveness. Endure resentment. Right, there is no way a beast can dare to ask for forgiveness.”

Anne kept a sneer on her lips. The rumors were right. The Great Duke’s castle’s beast. He was like a beast.

“I won’t ask for forgiveness, because . . . From now on, for you, I will give you anything you want and devote my life to atoning.”

“If you could do everything I ask you to do on the spot… Could you give up your life instead? Then, slit that throat right in front of my eyes. Only then, will I be happy to see you.”

“… If you want… But that’s beyond my ability.”

She wasn’t expecting it to turn out this way, anyway. An excuse that his life was not worth it. The beast with nothing to say answered well.

At times like these, the reason to hold the child for him was completely gone. Anne fully made up her mind to leave.

“In the end, your determination is nothing but nice words. I’m leaving this place because I don’t want to see your face. And this child is mine, so don’t even dream of seeing it.”

The Grand Duke’s eyes widened, frightened when she said she was leaving.

“That…”

At that point, he couldn’t answer easily. He said he would do everything for her, but he couldn’t break his stubbornness about where she stayed.

Unable to speak further, the Grand Duke let out a deep sigh. The heavy breath clung to Anne’s ears, but in this relationship, they could no longer live face-to-face.

When the Grand Duke did not answer, Anne just looked at him with cold eyes. His face, which she could not read the insides, was painfully distorted.

“That is troublesome.”

His answer was a refusal. Anne’s brow furrowed.

“Are you going to hold me even after doing something like that? Shameless man.”

Anne couldn’t stand it and admonished him. The Grand Duke, the head of the family, and the man whom the Emperor could not be reckless with, did not respond to the insults coming from the small and delicate woman.

“You are pregnant now. I can’t allow you to go with that body.”

He couldn’t send his pregnant wife out like this. There was no way he could be relieved even if he prepared a nice house and escorted her with knights.

“Stop talking nonsense. Do you still see me as a stupid woman who you can control as you please?”

Anne did not back down. She once loved him, she had only recently realized that she had new feelings. But he had ruined all this now.

“If you want, I’ll block the east wing corridor so you never see my face. Or, I’ll build an annex and won’t be close to you for the rest of my life… So please don’t say you’re leaving.”

Daymond held onto Anne’s skinny wrist and begged her.

He gave up his pride. No, in the first place, he had no right to speak of pride. For her, who faced such a catastrophe due to his own fault. It was better to apologize rather than to make excuses.

But he couldn’t let her go. Even if she hated him, even if he couldn’t see the child, he had to keep her by his side. He thought it would be hard for her to even look up at him, so he bent his legs to kneel down.

“No. I’m suffocating. Daymond, we can’t be together. Just looking at your face is like being strangled!”

Anne, who furrowed her eyebrows together, pulled the dress that covered her neck and gave a frustrated look.
