Beast of the Frozen Night Chapter 75.2

Anne blinked in surprise despite doing the stabbing. As she pulled out the needle, a thin stream of blood flowed from the pierced skin and down the Grand Duke’s wrist. She felt sick smelling the metallic smell, but a strange excitement came over her.

Anne smiled arrogantly.

“The child must have taken after you, acting so fickle. It keeps making me do weird things.”

“Does this make you feel better?”

The Grand Duke’s narrowed eyes were intertwined with hers, he asked without changing his face.

Even when the needle pierced his palm, he didn’t even show any expressions, nor did he move. Does he feel no pain, or did he expect it?

“Not bad.”

The Grand Duke’s fine complexion broke her heart.

Anne looked at the needle dripping with blood and threw it to the floor, because it would be trouble getting blood on the fabric. The light guilt that stung her was also thrown together to the floor. No, she was rather relieved. She felt like she knew a little bit about the feelings of the female lead in the book.

As Anne watched the blood drip onto the table, he held out his other hand to her. Wanting her to do this side as well.

“Do whatever you want.”

After revealing his true feelings, he smiled sadly. There was no fear in those ruby eyes.

Coincidentally, a needle was still in Anne’s other hand.

“Then I won’t decline.”

Anne pulled up a corner of her mouth, and plunged the needle into his flat palm. This time, it was deeper and stronger than before. A terrible sensation of the flesh getting pierced ran through her hands.

She secretly hoped that there would be even the slightest crack in his smooth forehead, but the Grand Duke only let out a single breath. It was a normal, very normal exhalation.

“If this alleviates your anger even a little bit, you can continue as long as you want.”

Anne, who saw the narrow red eyes shimmering finely, raised her hand into the air again. It was because he gave permission that she could do the same as he did.

Her hand clutching the needle stabbed his palm one after another.

The Grand Duke only looked at Anne without a word until she was exhausted. He still did not utter a single groan of pain. It was a pleasure for him to be able to spend her time with her, looking into her eyes, rather than this slight pain that could not even be called pain.

It was more satisfactory for him than to be kicked out.

Pregnancy seemed to give a child’s spirit as well as a body.

These days Anne’s mood was as inconsistent as a boiling kettle. Sometimes it was generous enough to embrace everything, and then in just a few minutes it became low enough to want to run away to a cave alone. Some days her tears flowed endlessly, and other times she burst into laughter like a madman.

Anne was embarrassed by these runaway emotions. She was afraid that if she met Daymond when she was in a high spirits, she would say nonsense that she would forgive him. Eventually, Anne felt resentful and stopped hiding how she felt. She didn’t get any better, she just felt worse anyway.

Moreover, as she entered the sixth month of pregnancy, her body began to be noticeably fuller. If her stomach used to only come out from overeating because of her original skinny body, she was now so pregnant that anyone could see that she was a pregnant woman. And it was also a time when the changes in her body could be felt more clearly.

“Madam, how are you feeling today? If you’re not feeling well, should I convey that you’re having a hard time because of your body and cannot attend? You’re pregnant, so everyone will understand.”

Still, if there was one good thing, words began to speak out, saying that the reason the Grand Duchess had been sensitive for weeks was not because of a feud with the Grand Duke, but because of the symptoms of her pregnancy. People who had childbirth experience said that having a child made one’s emotions unstable and sharp.

Words flew around like they had wings, perhaps because they were proud that their experiences were being paid attention to, or if they were excited that their words were right. Certainly, people’s mouths had become lighter, just as the clothes had become lighter after winter had ended. It was to the point where it was doubtful whether they were the same people who had been frozen like ice.

Actually, what Anne didn’t know was that the existence of the Grand Duchess was a big reason for their change. It was cold, but it was because the presence and absence of the mistress changed the atmosphere of the Great Duke’s castle.

“I don’t think today is that bad. It’s just showing my face for a few hours.”

Anne spoke as Emily put her hand through the dress she was holding.

Today was a tea party where close vassals gathered to celebrate the successful end of the monster subjugation. Originally, it should have been done in the spring, but it was delayed in line with the recovery of several injured knights. It was them who achieved the most brilliant achievements, so it was only appropriate to wait for their recovery.

“And, I can’t be absent from this either. It’s a tea party hosted by the Grand Duke’s castle, if the Grand Duchess does not show her face, people will talk.”

Anne repeatedly refused to attend invitations to tea parties held by other families. But she had no intention of ignoring public events that attracted people’s attention. It was not noble to reveal that the two were not on good terms.

Knowing that the relationship between Anne and the Grand Duke was at its worst, Emily looked puzzled.

“I thought you didn’t care about that anymore.”

“I don’t care. I’m doing this for me.”
