A Demon Duchess
5. black hair

Alvaro had been stubborn for a week after the party that day, making Irene his wife despite the refusal of many.

When I first saw Irene walking on the lake Alvaro remembered the legend of a mysterious woman who would appear in the future.

The woman has a power that can awaken Astrantia to her heyday.

"Alvaro I'm not sure I can win from that woman" said Irene, looking at Alvaro sadly, maybe because Alvaro is the person he met for the first time in this world Irene made Alvaro as his backup.

"I'm the one who decides who I'm married to, Altheana's just the girl that my mom grew up with, that cruel woman didn't even cry when my mom died." Alvaro clenched his hands remembering those painful moments.

There are times when he likes and sees Althea as a girl but after several times disappointed by Althea's attitude, Alvaro chooses to hate her.

"I love you" Irene said, staring intensely at Alvaro's eyes.

While looking into Irene's eyes, Alvaro inexplicably imagined a jewel that was the same color as Althea's eyes.

...

Irene took a walk with some of the servants behind her, although she was a little uncomfortable with it but she could not oppose Alvaro's will.

Irene walked through a garden filled with various flowers and other ornamental plants.

The further he walked a place full of blue roses looks very clearly display extraordinary beauty.

The flowers were like sparkling gems, the sunlight shining on the flower seemed to divide its light into the blue flower.

In the garden there are not only flowers, but there is a pond with a silver bridge as well as a beautiful stopover located at the end.

Irene was stunned to see a silver-haired figure in a pretty dress sitting pensively at the end of the bridge, accompanied by some animals like rabbits and birds that somehow got close to the woman.

Though Irene knew Duke Amaryllis' daughter It was a cruel woman who had no heart and had a dark aura as well sharp which made others reluctant to be near her.

"This is an area that can not be entered carelessly by the ladies," said Althea coldly without looking at Irene.

Althea began to approach Irene with her graceful manner she walked over the bridge in a fluffy dress as she stepped.

For a moment Irene was amazed how could someone walk so gracefully, perhaps if Althea was in her world she was already Miss world.

"May I speak with you?" Irene asked scared.

"Something forbids?" Reply Althea asked back, Irene chuckled and held Althea's hand to return to where Althea was sitting.

The waiter behind Irene panicked what if Althea suddenly attacked Irene? They could all die if Irene got hurt.

"Actually I'm curious about you, how did you get to be with the crown prince?" Tanya Althea was serious.

"We met when I fell into this world, maybe you'll think I'm crazy but I'm not from this world" Irene said, staring blankly at the sky in front of her.

"You don't look like someone who's lying, so I trust you." Althea stared flatly at the flowers that were in front of her.

....

*flashback

in the hustle of Seoul at that time a high school girl with a full school uniform was enjoying her time with her friends.

on that hot sunny day, accompanied by the sweet nuances of cherry blossoms that bloom with laughter sounds melodious complement their little happiness.

"before going to the photo together first yuk," said a girl among them.

they also posed on the edge of the lake, after they finished dispersing themselves.

suddenly there was someone who ran towards them more precisely towards irene, a black hoodie that quickly stabbed irene with the knife that she was carrying and pushed irene until it fell into the lake.

irene thought she might be dead but fate said something else when a blinding light blurred her eyes, as she opened her eyes the first thing she saw was a handsome blonde man.

.....

*back now's.

"princess can I ask you something?" Irene said, Althea smiled faintly.

"even though I love her, I can't change her heart and I never meant to." Irene looked at Althea annoyed how could a woman say that?

how could he not want the heart of his loved ones if there really was such a person, maybe Alvaro was right Althea did not even have the heart to love.

irene walked towards her room with a lot of things on her mind, she was completely out of mind with what she had experienced this time, starting from falling into another world, she was completely in a deep state, meet and fall in love at first sight at someone and again that someone has had a future wife.

can she live here what about her future will she become queen? or he would just be alvaro's lover in the novel he read while still in his world he knew that a king having a concubine was a natural matter of what he could see alvaro with another woman.

ah it's been thought more and more endless, but maybe he was a little lucky with the attitude of althea like that makes alvaro not interested in him, he said, if it was not possible now his life had already been miserable since setting foot in this palace.

"Rene what are you doing?" asked Alvaro who saw Irene from earlier pensive in front of his room.

"ah no I just want to go to the room" said Irene who was free from her daydreams.

"i heard you just met Altheana did she do or say anything bad to you?" ask Alvaro to worry.

"no, but I guess you're right that woman doesn't have a heart." Alvaro was silent for a moment, his hands clenching the look on his face filled with anger.

"Rene you rest I still have work to do." Alvaro kissed Irene softly and left Irene who had now entered her room.

Alvaro set foot into the workspace althea, after his althea alvaro workspace entered without knocking on the door he just broke through.

"Lucas out" Alvaro said in a cold tone.

Althea who was serious about her work was disturbed by the presence of alvaro, alvaro locked the door of the althea workspace, alvaro, makes the owner wonder what is with the person who almost never looked for him all this time.

"you can call me if you have any business, why bother coming here?" althea said as she rose from her seat.

"i hate your pleasantries Thea" alvaro said with a sharp gaze and a cold tone.

"what do you mean"

"if you hurt Irene by the end of her hair, I won't hesitate to destroy you and your family." Althea looked at Alvaro with a look of disbelief.

"are you threatening me?" ask Althea coldly.

"i just want you to know, after Irene has replaced your position you are just a cruel duke's daughter, you have no power whatsoever and don't forget you don't have a Mother and Duchess who can support you." althea's heart was torn to shreds with alvaro's words it felt really painful.

"quite," muttered Althea softly as she tried to hide her discolored eyes.

"The Duchess will regret having given birth to you and I will deeply regret raising a demon like you."

"GUARD YOUR LIMITS ALVARO!!!" yelled Althea not accept.

Althea whose eyes lit up turned her face away and turned her back to Alvaro.

"go away, you can kill me if you see me hurting him."
