The Monstrous Grand Duke’s Fake Lady

Chapter 3



Chapter 3

There was no tint of embarrassment across her face. Alexia then looked at the anxious Vivian as she asked.

“Your answer?”

“I… understand.”

“Ah, this is annoying! I don’t!”

She seized Vivian by the hand as she could no longer tolerate with her mannerisms.

Vivian was astounded by the sudden act but still, she nervously turned herself to face the Lady.

“Come now. Do you think you’ll pass to act and move like an aristocratic lady right now?”

***

How long has it been since then?

While holding a whip in her hand, Alexia sternly asked Vivian.

“Who are you?”

“The prestigious Young Countess of Britton, Alexia Britton.”

A prompt and definite answer. Vivian no longer avoided Alexia’s sharp gaze. As she was dressed equally gorgeous as Alexia, she had also acquired the skill to breathe and move precisely like the Alexia Britton.

“Now, pick that up.”

After listening to what Alexia had said, Vivian then strictly pointed to the jewel with her toes to the employees nearby without really looking at it.

“You there, pick that up for me!”

“That’s it, good enough!”

As soon as she heard Alexia’s approval, Vivian’s straightened posture collapsed immediately. She sighed softly as she had been in a perpetual state of worrying.

Unlike the anxious Vivian, Alexia casually took a capsule from a box. It looked like some sort of a tablet that was then handed to Vivian.

“Eat this.”

“My Lady, this is…”

Vivian slowly took it from Alexia’s hand and swallowed it, unaware of its call as she expected that she wouldn’t die just from swallowing the pill. However, the sensation she felt as it went down her throat was terribly different from what she had imagined.

“Co, cough!”

Straight from her mouth, down to the base to her throat, there was pain in every corner. Vivian was tormented by the agony.

On the other hand, Alexia was just in her seat, unconcerned with the struggling Vivian. There was no change in her expression even while locking eyes with Vivian, who was on the floor, excruciating in pain that can be felt all over her throat.

Vivian was coughing when Alexia barely heard her say something.

“This is…”

Vivian quickly closed her mouth to her surprise. The voice that she uttered was unerringly identical to that of Alexia’s.

“That was expensive.”

Satisfied, Alexia pointed at Vivian with the tip of her whip.

“Understand? It’ll only work for 24 hours. After that, the effect will gradually decrease.”

Vivian kept her lips closed tightly as she heard those words. When the time had come to enact the plan, she started to tremble with worry.

“Do you understand?”

“Yes… I do.”

As opposed to Vivian’s hesitated answer, Alexia cheerfully arose from her seat.

“A~ah, I wonder what I should do now,” said Alexia.

Unlike the agitated Vivian, Alexia was acting rather nonchalant. Moreover, she was even organizing her own attire to pick and pack from her closet if she couldn’t find anything else to wear.

“I might be caught if I were to stay home, so I’ll be going with you. Vivian, prepare some simpler clothing for me.”

“I understand, My Lady.”

“And I’ll leave you with your friend. So, go with her.”

Vivian sighed quietly as she lowered her hat. Alexia had whipped and trained her intensely nevertheless, deep inside, she was still essentially Vivian. She had her hat flattened so well that Alexia did not notice of her indecisiveness, which was utterly unacceptable.

As Alexia was an independent Young Lady, her parents did not even drop her off and left everything to her decision. Thanks to this, Alexia was comfortable enough to share the carriage with Vivian.

Then, a beautiful carriage for Vivian, together with a smaller carriage for Alexia arrived and each of them began to depart to their destination.

When she noticed that no one was monitoring her any longer, Vivian exhaled breathlessly.

“Fuhaa~” she exclaimed. She was actually barely breathing, just like a newborn baby. She then grasped the hands of her friend in front of her as she was quivering with uneasiness.

“Amanda, can I do it well? What if I got caught and eaten?”

“Ugh. It’s creepy when you call me out in that voice.”

Amanda was wearing an ominous look when she saw Vivian’s miserable expression. She then quickly changed her tone and expression as well.
