“Haha, it seems you've learned some new entertaining talents in the time I haven't seen you? It seems like you're able to bark now?”

It seemed that he had no intention to release her till he had trampled all over her.

She let out a sigh and replied. “It seems you didn't hear me tell you to f.u.c.k off. I thought you would be able to understand if I talked in the language of dogs like yourself.”

“What, dog?”

“You said I was a dog, but since we share blood, aren't you also a dog?”

“Ha, there's only one dog here. It's you who abandoned the Marten name and became the Royal Palace's dog by your own will.”

This Marten, Marten.

It seems he has no abilities so all he has to offer was his bloodline. I wonder what this man would be left with if the name of the Household was taken away from him. Vivian would bet that Leslie would become a beggar and starve to death if he was thrown out the Count's doors.

“Is this your collar?”

Leslie extended a hand towards her chast.i.ty ring. Vivian retreated backward and slapped his hand away before it could touch her. At the same time. a very terrible light of cruelty flashed his eyes.

That's right.

Vivian, who had predicted the slap, stared strongly at him and spoke before he could grab her collar. “Just as you said, I am the leashed possession of the Royal Palace. Do you not know what will happen if even a scratch appears on me?”

Regular servants and servants with life-contracts at the Royal Palace were different. In return for a life-long contract and no control over their entirety, they could ensure their safety till they died. No one could carelessly lift a hand against them, and couldn't force them into intimacy.

Though the royals were an exception to the rule.

Even though it was a Count's young master, they couldn't lift a hand against her. No matter how much Count Marten loved his son, it would be very difficult to explain the circ.u.mstances that led to violence against a maid in the Royal Palace's possession.

“Why were you afraid? What have I done to make you bare your teeth to me?”
