AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 9

Auston’s gaze was fixed on Ruan Tang’s face without any attempt to hide it.

Ruan Tang didn’t dodge or evade, allowing Auston to scrutinize him. He had known since he was young that he was good-looking, so whether it was the gaze of a madman or a look of stunned admiration, he was used to it.

“…You really are beautiful,” Auston said, as if talking to himself, staring straight at him.

Ruan Tang remained calm and unaffected.

The butler and Anna, however, were immediately delighted.

They were pleased that Ruan Tang had piqued Auston’s interest even before they had done anything.

As expected, Ruan Tang’s beauty and their high pheromone compatibility of 95% were not a lie… Even if Duke Auston was a madman, he was still an Alpha.

The butler was about to say something to bring Ruan Tang and Auston together: “Your Grace…”

But before they could finish rejoicing, Auston’s next words sent shivers down their spines.

“Your skin is so delicate, like the finest silk. If it were peeled off and made into a beauty lantern, it would be very beautiful and worth collecting…” His tone was light and airy, his eyes staring straight at Ruan Tang, as if imagining how he would peel off his skin.

Auston seemed to smell something, closing his eyes in a drunken manner, sniffing the cold, orchid-like, plum-like fragrance in the air, and ecstatically said: “The scent on your body is also very pleasant. Is it the scent of your pheromones? I think if your glands were cut off and made into spices, they would be very precious…”

He didn’t think he had said anything shocking, saying everything was very normal.

But it made the butler, Anna, and Aaron shudder, gasp, and barely dare to breathe: “Your Grace…”

Indeed, a madman is a madman, and cannot be viewed with the logic of a normal person.

The Empress is really too much…

How could they send an Omega to be ruined by such a person?

As for the person being imagined as having his skin peeled and glands cut off, Ruan Tang himself seemed much calmer when he heard Auston’s eerie and chilling words…

“Thank you for your compliment.” Ruan Tang’s expression did not change, remaining calm: “But I’m afraid you can’t do that…”

He had known for a long time that the person he was marrying was not a normal person, so he had no expectations for this marriage partner, and even had some anticipation.

Having spent so much time with his mother and sister, Ruan Tang also knew that the words of a madman could not be taken seriously. In any case, the royal family and the people of this Duke’s manor would never really let him kill him, peel his skin, and cut off his glands.

Therefore, no matter how terrifying Auston’s words were, Ruan Tang felt that he could take it as a different kind of compliment, a praise from a madman.

“Why?” Auston looked at him curiously with his blue eyes through the mask.

From childhood to adulthood, everyone had been following him, fearing him, and being afraid of him. Ruan Tang was the first person who not only had no fear of him, but also directly refused him.

This made him feel even more excited.

“You think my skin is beautiful because it grows on me, covering my flesh. If you peel it off, it won’t look like what you see now. My glands are the same. They emit a fragrance because I am alive, and they grow on my body…” Ruan Tang looked at the eyes behind the mask with considerable certainty, using a tone of stating facts: “If you cut it off, maybe it won’t be the scent you smell now.”

Faced with a madman like Auston, he was almost terrifyingly calm, talking to him about his own skin and glands, not like talking about skin and glands.

It was more like an adult telling a child that some toys cannot be disassembled for him.

The butler and the other two listened to their conversation as if they had reached the same dimension, becoming even more horrified.

Looking at this very beautiful Duchess, they suddenly felt that this Duchess was not very normal either…

How could a normal person be like this?

Auston seemed to be taken aback by Ruan Tang’s words, falling into some kind of confusion.

After a while, he said to himself: “How could that be? I will take care of it very carefully, using the most expensive and advanced technology, and I will never let your skin change, and I will never let your glands change their taste…”

He wanted to obtain such beautiful things.

After obtaining them, he would definitely collect them carefully, cherish them, and never let them be damaged in the slightest.

After all, such good skin was something he had never seen before, and the fragrance on Ruan Tang’s body was a special scent he had never smelled before, inexplicably attracting him…

So special, and so desirable…

“…I’ll ask you another question, why do you want to peel off my skin and cut off my glands?” Ruan Tang asked, listening to him describing how he would take care of his skin and glands in the future, as if he had already peeled off his skin and cut off his glands, his tone still as calm as ever.

Auston said without thinking: “Of course, for collection.”

His skin was so beautiful, and the scent was so special…

He wanted to possess it.

“I am now married to you, and I am your partner in the legal sense. I am already yours.” Ruan Tang was always calm and gentle: “Even if you peel off my skin and cut off my glands, you still have to find a way to preserve them properly, and it is far better to keep them on myself…”

Ruan Tang simply felt as if he had become the daughter of the vizier in One Thousand and One Nights, telling stories to soothe the tyrant every night: “My whole person already belongs to you. You can come and see my skin and smell the scent of my pheromones whenever you want, there is really no need to separate them from me in such a complicated way.”

“My whole person is mine?” Auston repeated, as if he was a little confused by him.

Ruan Tang did not hesitate: “Yes, my whole person belongs to you. Therefore, I will definitely take good care of my skin and glands for you. I think the entire empire will not be able to find someone who takes care of them more carefully and properly than I do… Please rest assured.”

He had always known that the logic of a madman could not be viewed as a normal person, and he also knew that the royal family and the people of the Duke of Auston’s mansion would not let this madman harm him.

But being under the same roof day and night with someone who wanted to peel his skin and cut off his glands would still feel uncomfortable.

Therefore, Ruan Tang chose to fool Auston.

Ruan Tang believed that he still had some tricks to deal with mental patients.

Auston sat languidly in the wheelchair, not speaking for a long time, as if he had been tricked by Ruan Tang.

“It’s getting late, I want to rest.” Seeing him like this, Ruan Tang immediately took the liberty of looking at the butler and said: “Mr. Butler, can I trouble you to take me to my residence?”

He had become Duke Auston’s partner in the legal sense, the other master of this Duke’s mansion.

Now, under the premise that one of the owners of this mansion was a madman, Ruan Tang felt that he could completely try to make certain decisions.

The butler carefully glanced at Auston, and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, leading the way for Ruan Tang: “Yes, Madam, please follow me.”

Ruan Tang’s room had been arranged by the butler according to Auston’s instructions long before Ruan Tang came.

It was located in the guest room farthest from Auston’s master bedroom in this mansion.

“Good night, sir.” Seeing that the butler agreed, Ruan Tang immediately saluted his nominal husband with all the etiquette, followed the butler slowly up the spiral staircase, and went to his room.

Having been busy all day and not interested in his nominal husband, Ruan Tang just wanted to rest well.

At this time, Auston had just said such chilling words, even Anna, as the Empress’s personal maid, could not urge them to consummate their marriage at this time.

With the madness of this mad dog Duke, Anna was really afraid that he could peel off the skin of his partner if they slept in the same bed at night…

If this really happened, it would be a big scandal and a big stain on the royal family and the Empress’s family.

“He’s not afraid, hasn’t he heard of my reputation in the Imperial Star? Why isn’t he afraid at all?” After a while, Auston looked at Ruan Tang’s departing back and came back to his senses, muttering: “Shouldn’t Omegas be the most timid creatures in the world?”

Hearing his question, even knowing that he was talking to himself and actually didn’t mean to ask others.

Anna still bit the bullet and replied: “Your Highness, the Madam is your partner, you are his Alpha, he is your Omega, he is too late to admire you? How could he be afraid of you?”

“Does he belong to me?” Auston asked.

Anna replied without hesitation: “Yes, he belongs to you.”

…

“Madam, please come in.” The butler led Ruan Tang to his room, respectfully said: “In the future, this will be your room. See if there is anything that doesn’t suit your liking, feel free to say it.”

As soon as they entered the door, a disabled robot carried Ruan Tang’s luggage in.

Ruan Tang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked around the room where he would live for an unknown amount of time.

The room was cleaned very cleanly, without the slightest smell. Although the pattern was still consistent with the mansion, giving people a gloomy and dark feeling, the light in the room was also very dim, making Ruan Tang uncomfortable.

But he felt that there was nothing he disliked. After instructing the robot to reorganize the room.

“No, it’s pretty good. Let’s leave it like this.” Ruan Tang looked at the room again, although he was still not very adapted, he still said this.

He was too tired, and now he just wanted to get a good night’s sleep, and didn’t want to toss anything else at all.

“In that case, I’ll go down first, Madam. Please rest well.” The butler said immediately when he saw this.

Looking at Ruan Tang and Auston like that, he also knew that it was impossible to expect this newly married couple to consummate their marriage on this wedding night.

Ruan Tang nodded noncommittally: “Okay.”

The butler immediately took the robot male servant and retreated, and the huge room was suddenly left with only Ruan Tang alone.
