‘Imperial Dog’ was a term used to slander Killian, the head of the military and police force.
“If you say you’re in the Knights Templar, you’re talking about low-grade anchovy for use by thugs.”
As she responded with a sarcastic retort, she heard Lady Chanelia’s weekly magazine clenched in his fists.
“It doesn’t change if you’re engaged to that bastard. You are just a dog being sold.”
Arranged engagement.
It would be a word that felt especially different for Sophia and Ian.
Sophia’s mother died after marrying the Count by arrangement, and the countess, whom the Count really loved, eventually took over the house.
He warned Sophia that she will be like her dead mother.
‘If the original Sophia had heard it, her mentality would have been broken.’
She thought she was lucky that she wasn’t the real Sophia.
Sophia then smiled at Ian’s accusation.
“There’s a saying that a dog’s life is a fortune. If you’re sold as a dog to a good house, you might be better off than a person who’s treated like trash.”
All the words Ian says are just ‘bad actors’ lines. There is no need to be hurt or angry at those words.
What you have to do is ignore or trample on the villain like the female lead.
Sophia, as if not wanting to deal with Ian any more, moved her steps past him.
“Sophia…!”
“Oh right.”
Sophia stopped walking past him and looked behind her.
“Did my room change?”
Ian’s face was clearly wrinkled at her question.
“You don’t know? I’ll have to find Jenny first.”
When no answer came, Sophia left him behind and climbed up the steps.
Then Ian grabbed her arm.
Sophia was suppressed at once by a strong grip.
“Are you not listening to my words?”
“Let me go, Ian.”
Ian pushed Sophia to the stair railing.
He joined the Knights Templar at an early age and was taller and stronger than any average adult male.
“What if I don’t let go?”
It was physically impossible for Sophia to defeat Ian.
But despite his bloody eyes, Sophia was not afraid of him at all.
‘If it was real, I might feel different, but this is fiction.’
Such characters are common. However, she was a little tired.
‘Why are you doing this like an obsessive man? You’re just a half-brother.’
From shopping to Lady Chanelia’s party, she was exhausted after walking around all day.
“Then do you want to stay up all night with me like this?”
Sophia sighed and looked up at him.
‘Yes, if you want to, do it. Whether my arm is broken or I fall from exhaustion. Who knows?’
As the force did not dampen her momentum, confusion shone in his green eyes.
He threatened with his eyes wide open, but he didn’t know what to do with the changed appearance of ‘Sophia’.
“Oh, are you afraid of ghosts coming out at night? Are you clinging to your sister like this to protect you?”
Sophia did not lose her composure and provoked Ian.
Then his hand tightened her forearm.
She couldn’t eat so much that her skinny forearm was about to break.
“Do you want to die?”
A simple reaction, the only thing he knows how to do is threaten.
Same as his mother
“Then… Will you kill me?”
“What…?”
“Are you going to kill me here?”
Sophia looked straight into his eyes.
“You think I can’t?”
“Try.”
Sophia said with an expressionless expression.
Then Ian grabbed the hilt of his sword with one of his hands and pulled it out.
The sound of metal sharply split the air.
A cold, sharp metallic sensation touched the nape of her neck.
The sensation radiated down her spine, giving her a chill.
“If I move here, you are done.”
“Okay.”
As she nodded, the blade moved slightly, and the blade slashed her neck, and a thin trickle of blood dripped.
A drop of blood running down her neck stiffened Ian’s lips.
“If I die here, my name will be on the front page of the weekly magazine next week. ‘Knight Ian Frauss murders the fiancee of the Archduke!’”
Sophia rolled her eyes and smiled.

By the way, this week’s weekly news-whether positive or negative–she’s been quite the spotlight.
“Kill me. It’s all over when my eyes close, but you will have to carry the heavy burden that follows.”
Ian gritted his teeth.
As the force entered his tight jaw, his sharp jawline became more prominent.
