Forgotten Juliet
Chapter 2 - 1
1. The reason for the breakup
Lennox Carlyle was born into a very famous family with a rich historical past and was the only heir.
Duke Carlyle, who ruled the North, boasted great wealth and power, but his family history was stained with blood.
And the boy born in this family was no exception.
He was nine years old when he first killed a person.
When his father, a former duke, died, his greedy relatives sent the young heir to the battlefield.
The opposing army quickly fled from the battlefield, and the 9-year-old boy disappeared with them. Since no one else saw him after that, everyone decided that he was dead.
Everyone thought so.
Until 10 years later, the red-eyed man returned with an undefeated army.
The boy who left the Dukedom returned as a war hero.
It was a return after 10 years.
His troops knew no mercy and easily recaptured the northern duchy.
But no one dared to doubt Lennox Carlyle’s legitimacy or qualifications.
It wasn’t just because of the Duke’s distinctive black hair and red eyes. All of his relatives who dared to question him had been decapitated by his hand.
After that day, no one wanted to offend the young Duke Carlyle. So it had been a long time since Lennox Carlyle felt so irritated.
“What did you say?”
“I asked you to break up with me.”
Lennox stared blankly at the woman in front of him.
Wavy light brown hair and bright blue eyes. Even in a thin negligee with no decorations, her posture was as straight as a queen.
After a brief silence, Carlyle smiled softly at her.
“Juliet Monad.”
She was the official mistress of Duke Carlyle.
“Are you kidding me?”
Even though she was scared of the sudden force, Juliet tilted her head instead of being frightened. She innocently blinked her eyes as if she didn’t understand his question.
“It can’t be, Your Highness.”
“Then drop the fables and say it again.. Something more plausible.”
“But I’ve already told you. That’s all I want.”
Juliet’s expression was as calm as usual when she answered casually. Like a peaceful sleep.
On the contrary, Lennox’s eyes grew ferocious. It was only three days ago that they left the Northern Duchy and arrived at the capital’s mansion.
Like every year, they had to attend the New Year’s banquet at the Imperial Palace.
It was a journey through two gates, but it was a procession of considerable size, including the Duke’s vassals and knights.
Juliet, known as Duke Carlyle’s lover, also visited the capital with him.
“I won’t bother you, Your Highness.”
As she said seven years ago, Juliet had never bothered him.
She didn’t beg for affection or attention, and she didn’t cling to him while scattering tears.
It was the Juliet Monad he knew.
