The Monstrous Grand Duke’s Fake Lady

Chapter 9

Fortunately, Alexia had found the news to be interesting as well. Even though it was just for a brief second, her eyes gleamed at that moment in time.

“Then, was the thing about him being temporarily blind false as well?”

“No, I’m quite sure that matter is true. He can’t really recognize my face.”

“Hmmm….”

Alexia subtly lengthened her remark. Then, a frown was straight away painted across her forehead to show her dislike towards something, but it was just for a brief moment.

“Tell me more. I have to report this.”

From Vivian’s point of view, there was absolutely nothing special about the visit, but still she had to disclose every single word that she had uttered, thanks to Alexia.

Alexia was barely satisfied at Vivian’s words that had spilled out before commanding her next order. Then, Vivian stripped off all her clothes before dressing in her servant’s garments. At the same time, Alexia was also being dressed in her new clothes before she finally flashed a bright smile.

“As expected, these clothes look good on me.”

Vivian couldn’t give a reply to Alexia’s tactless comment.

But still, she was absolutely right. Vivian averted her eyes from looking at Alexia’s glowing skin under that bright red hair of hers. In the end, no matter how much she tried to emulate her, she was just a fake imitation of her.

After changing to her own original clothes, her meeting with the monstrous Grand Duke had now felt like a dream. Vivian bowed her head as she stood behind Alexia. Certainly, fancy clothes didn’t suit her at all.

Upon her return to the mansion, Vivian was greeted by another thing that needed to be done. As it seemed like no one had taken over the job that she was in charge of so far, she would then have to start her work immediately.

“Vivian!”

Vivian’s body flinched excessively at the voice that was calling out to her.

She bit down her lips as she was just about to speak. Due to the fact that the medicine was still in progress, her voice was still the same as that of Alexia’s.

“The Young Lady is calling for you. It seems urgent, so hurry up and go.”

Vivian was flustered as she pulled a face, but the head maid was merciless towards her.

“How dare you not heed the Young Lady’s call? As such, you should miss your dinner in order to knock some sense back into you!”

Vivian made a long face as she trudged up the stairs, like someone was pushing her from the back. No matter how much she had dwelled on it, she still couldn’t comprehend why she was being called yet again.

Did I do something wrong back at the Grand Duke’s? Regardless of what went through her head, she was still at a loss because there was nothing that she could ever think of.

As she had already approached her visit to the Young Lady, Vivian’s body started to cower in terror.

“My Lady…., This is Vivian.”

Even though she had said it as softly as possible due to her own fear that made her aware of her surroundings, the door burst opened to reveal Alexia, who darted out like she was waiting for her all along.

“You!”

“My, My Lady?”

Alexia bit down her lips tightly before she hauled Vivian inside with her forceful grip.

Just after Vivian had been dragged in helplessly with her fierce strength, Alexia straight away slapped her across her cheeks all of a sudden.

“What the hell have you done?”

Even before she could feel surprise by the intense shock from being hit, Vivian had already brought to her knees.

There was absolutely nothing but just one that could make Alexia this furious. The Grand Duke must have discovered that Vivian was the one who met with him in disguise.

“This time, he was the one who asked me to come over!”

“Yes?”

When the answer was unexpectedly different from what she had thought, Vivian straight away lifted her head as she had forgotten that she was still in the presence of Alexia.

“Thanks to you, my parents are now smiling broadly, but not me. This has become very annoying to me.”

Alexia was still grunting frustratedly even after she had struck a hard blow across Vivian’s cheek as she tugged at her nails anxiously.

“You. Keep on going there until he orders you to stop.”

“My lady, but…!”

“Or stay and die when everything is revealed?”

Vivian closed her lips at the brutal words that were spat by Alexia. There was absolutely nothing that her powerless self could have done. All she could do was to obey, just like a submissive dog.

“…I understand.”
