The evil duke ◇`Dmitry Ivanov

I was reading the end of the manhwa, my heart heavy with sadness. The villain, who had lived a miserable life, was killed alone in the rain, without anyone shedding a tear for him. I wished I could have been there, that I could have saved him from his fate.

When I closed my eyes, I found myself opening them in a strange place. I was in a grand hall filled with lights, and a large mirror stood before me. I was wearing an elegant gown I had never seen before. Then, I heard a knock on the door, and a voice said, "My lady, it's time to meet the Duke."

The Duke? I suddenly realized that I had become the fiancée of the villainous Duke. This was my new fate, and I was determined to change his story.

When I entered the hall where he was sitting, he looked exactly as I had imagined: deep eyes filled with sorrow, and a handsome face hiding a world of pain. He stood up and said coldly, "If you're here because you want to run away from this engagement, I won't stop you."

I looked at him steadily. "I'm here to stay."

For a moment, he seemed surprised, but his eyes quickly returned to their usual coldness. It wasn't easy to reach him, but I didn't give up. I would bring him books he loved, accompany him on his rounds, and try to make him smile, even if just once.

One day, while he was sitting in his office working, I placed a cup of tea in front of him and sat down. "Why do you treat me like a stranger? I'm here because I want to be with you."

He looked at me in silence for a long moment, then said, "Everyone who gets close to me ends up in pain or dead. I don't want to hurt you."
