When dawn broke, I sensed movement beyond my groggy consciousness.

“We’ll take care of Lady Cecilia…”

“Then prepare for the outing…”

The servants’ voices chattered into my ears, barely registering.

Was it time to wake up? But my eyes wouldn’t open. The sleep I had desperately sought was just as stubborn upon waking. My mind felt heavy and sodden, making it difficult to emerge from the haze of sleep.

Then, a deep, heavy voice sounded. “Let Theresa sleep more.” The voice carried an authority that brooked no argument.

Soon, only one presence approached me. The bed dipped with a significant weight, and my head was slightly lifted to rest, not on a soft pillow but something firm and high.

I shifted to find a more comfortable position. There was a pleasant scent. The breeze through the window caressed my uncovered upper body.

As my consciousness began to settle again, an annoying touch kept disturbing my sleep. I murmured half-consciously, “Stop it, Damian…”

“…”

The movement halted abruptly, allowing me to fall back into a deep sleep. Or so I thought.

“

”

My lips were suddenly bitten in the worst possible way to wake me. With a mix of incredulity and slight anger, I opened my eyes to find Euges glaring at me, seemingly more upset than I was. He was silently fuming at me.

“…What’s with that all of a sudden?” I protested with a furrowed brow, to which Euges scoffed and lifted his body off me. The sight of his chest and abs, exposed from an unfastened robe, was embarrassingly stark.

Euges rummaged through a drawer, took out a key, and unlocked a cabinet to retrieve a cigar. “This is for last night’s service,” he said, his voice laden with spite and annoyance.

He then threw the key onto the bed and left the room abruptly, leaving me alone in the sudden silence.

“Really, why is he acting like that?”

Ding!

[I can’t defend this one;]

What does that mean? Judging by the nuance, it suggests that it was my fault.

Ding!

[It was so sweet this morning, but why did Damian have to come out of nowhere

ㅠ

.]

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Damian is the Real Male Lead’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[It means Damian is the main husband, right?]

“…What are you talking about? Why would Damian come up here?”

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Theresa’s Minion’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[In your half-asleep state, you kept pushing away Euges’s annoying touches, saying, “Stop it, Damian…” Euges reacted the way he did after hearing that.]

Shock widened my eyes.

“I must be crazy.”

In my drowsiness, I must have confused Euges with Damian, with whom I had shared a bed for a long time. Although I thought it was understandable to confuse them, it surely was an unacceptable situation for Euges, with his three red hearts of favorability. Now I understood his anger.

I hurriedly got up and rushed out of the room. “Goodness, Madam, where are you going in your pajamas?!”

“You need to change!”

The servants, coming to help me dress, were startled, trying to stop me.

“I need to see my husband for a moment!”

“Madam, wait…!”

On my way to Euges’s personal chamber, I also encountered Patrick. His face turned beet red upon seeing me. “

my wife said she can’t make it today, but why are you dressed like that…?”

“It’s urgent right now; I’ll listen later. Sorry.” I quickly bypassed Patrick and knocked on Euges’s door. “

Your…!” Before I could finish the impulsive honorific, I corrected myself. “Honey, can we talk for a moment?”

“…”

“Honey?”

I knocked on the door, but there was no response.

“Madam Rodrigo.” Patrick, who had followed me, called out. He took off his coat and held it out with his face flushed. “At least wear this. It’s not appropriate to be seen like that.”

“

…” I looked down at my attire. The thin slip dress clung to my body, reaching mid-thigh. I must have removed my robe in my sleep due to the heat. It indeed wasn’t a state to be seen by others. Embarrassment washed over me as I thanked Patrick and accepted the jacket.

“If there’s a problem, you can tell me…”

The door abruptly opened, and Euges appeared. He pulled me into the room and told Patrick coldly, “Get lost.”

“Honey!”

  Before I could argue, Euges rudely slammed the door shut.

It’s not right to treat dungeon residents this way. Especially the Mintzberg family members could directly attack players. But I didn’t bother pointing that out. Instead, I grabbed his hand as soon as we were alone.

“I made a mistake.”

“What mistake?”

“I called you Damian.”

“And why is that a mistake?”

“Because I confused you with someone else…?”

“

, so I’m acting like a madman because I was mistaken for Damian?”

…Isn’t that the case?

Unable to respond, Euges continued with a chilly expression. “That’s the reason, right.”

“…”

“It strangely makes me angry.”

I checked his likeability, feeling a flicker of hope.

[Likeability: 🖤🖤🤍🤍🤍]

…

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Sunfish Emperor Euges’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[The nicknames have been lived up to.]

Facing each other in stunned silence, Euges coldly said, “I can’t stand the sight of you. Leave.” His commanding tone was unmistakable.

As I hesitated, moving towards the door, he sighed in frustration and wrapped his removed robe around me. “And don’t you dare walk around like this again, or I’ll lock you in the room.”

I suddenly felt wronged and upset. I was only trying to apologize. Why was I being treated like this for simply mixing up names?

“…I won the bet.”

“What?”

I glared at him. “The condition was to act like a husband at any moment. Why are you behaving like the emperor now?”

“

.” Euges scoffed as if amused. “Even though I’m furious, you demand I treat you with respect?”

He warned me with a voice filled with suppressed anger. “My wife mistakes me for her former lover, and you think this isn’t a good enough reason to go mad?”

“…Saying you’d lock me up was too much.”

“So, that’s all it takes to upset you? But I meant it, so no take-backs.”

It was clear we were at an impasse. Knowing it was foolish to expect a reasonable conversation, I let my immature pride take over, fueled by mutual anger.

Ding!

[The Constellation ‘Rofan-Addicted Young Lady’ has sponsored 1,000,000 coins.]

[You’re angry because you don’t consider yourself as ‘Euges’s wife.’ I understand. But it seems Euges truly thinks of you as his wife.]

The constellation’s comment unexpectedly dissolved my anger.

But his violent reactions evaporated my remorse, leaving only fury.

Why was I so angry? The answer was simple.

Unbeknownst to me, I had started to develop a human-like fondness for Euges. The kiss, while startling, wasn’t unpleasant because of that.

Yes, that was the reason.

I wrapped my arms around his neck. When I stood on tiptoe, thinking it wouldn’t matter if the enraged Euges pushed me away roughly, he lunged at me like a wild animal, letting out a seething sound.

Apologizing a hundred or even a thousand times to Euges, who excelled at catching on to every word, would only make the atmosphere more hostile. He needed a different approach—one that suited him.

Actions over words. That was the key to dissolving Euges’s anger. I was so overwhelmed by disappointment that I had forgotten this.

When Euges briefly pulled his lips away, he looked at me with wounded pride and fiercely accused me. “You’ve become an expert at seducing men.”

“Not men, just you.”

“Shut up.”

Euges kissed me roughly as if to stop me from saying more. His anger finally subsided by noon.
