To The Wolf Who Devoured Me

Introduction

A useless, hateful daughter. A beastly illegitimate child. A Grand Duchess in name only.

Those were the words used to describe Eda.

She had always been the target of whispers and pointing fingers.

Even from her own husband.

And now, that husband was dead.

The one who returned inherited everything that belonged to his brother. Including his brother’s wife.

Life had never been kind to Eda.

That was why she had no expectations for this second marriage.

It seemed he didn’t expect anything from her either.

But what Eda didn’t know—

was that he was relentless, like a wolf hunting its prey.

And in the end, he devoured her.

“Was my brother a good man?”

A good man? That wasn’t something she could say, not even as a joke.

“My brother... surely he loved you. He must have cherished you, adored you.”

Eda couldn’t say a word in response. Astaldo wore an expression thick with layered emotions, but Eda couldn’t tell what any of them were.

“I... I'm sorry for not being good enough.”

“When did I ever say anything like that?! My wife is perfect!”

Astaldo suddenly shouted.

Eda, who had been crying her eyes out, suddenly heard him say she was perfect.

It was something she had never heard before. She swore, never in her life had she received praise so blissfully overwhelming.

“W-what... all of a sudden…”

Had she heard wrong? No, she hadn’t. Her mind exploded in confusion all over again.

“Want me to say it again? My wife is perfec—”

“D-Don’t say it!”

Her heart felt like it was going to burst.
