Reincarnation of The Villainess: She Has The Duke's Baby!-Chapter 173: #-Please, Kill Me Right Now!

After ordering his knights to take care of Marquess Lysander’s corpse and collecting all the corpses of human sacrifices in the basement, Edmund met Penelope who was resting under a tree.

Chris, who saw that his master had arrived, immediately looked down and disappeared. Then, Edmund knelt in front of Penelope. The woman leaned her back against the tree trunk while hugging her knees. She hid part of her face in her knees and her golden eyes looked at Edmund who was smiling at her.

"Why are you still crying?" asked the Duke in a gentle tone. He gently grabbed Penelope’s hand and took his wife’s body into his arms. Then, Edmund kissed Penelope’s forehead and stroked her back affectionately. "Did Marquess Lysander hurt you?"

Penelope sobbed and shook her head. She knew she had to be strong now to be able to face the monsters and protect everyone. But, she couldn’t do it yet. Not, after what Marquess Lysander had told her.

"Ed," Penelope called in a tired tone. "Please, take me to meet my Father and Mother."

"Now?"

Penelope nodded. "I have something to ask Mother and Father. Please. I will immediately help you to save the people of the empire. I also promise that I will become stronger after confirming something to my parents."

Edmund took a deep breath and nodded. He called Chris again and told his shadow knight to teleport him and Penelope to Askary’s mansion. In an instant, they were in front of Askary’s mansion. Penelope broke free from Edmund’s arms and ran into the mansion. She ignored the surprise of the servants and their greetings. From the movements of the servants, Penelope knew that her parents told them to send aid to the needy people in this empire.

"Father! Mother!"

Edmund tries to calm Penelope. He ran behind Penelope and tried to stop her for fear that his wife would fall and get hurt. However, for some reason, Penelope didn’t want to listen to him. Edmund wondered what that bastard Marquess had done or said to Penelope to make her act like this.

"My Lady?"

One of the maids in Askary’s mansion immediately greeted Penelope. She was carrying some blankets.

"Where are my Mother and Father?" Penelope asked urgently. "I have to meet them right now!"

"If it’s the Duke and Duchess, they’re in the living room." The maid looked towards the room. "There are also Prince Ethan and Lady Isabella there."

Penelope nodded and didn’t forget to say thank you. She intended to run but Edmund immediately grabbed her arm. Penelope turned her head and looked at Edmund with a panicked look.

"Ed, I have to talk to Mother and Father!"

"I know." Edmund nodded. "But, can’t you not run? I just don’t want you to get hurt, darling. Please? Hm?"

Penelope was silent. The woman lowered her head and took a deep breath. She nodded and let Edmund lead her into the living room. As soon as Penelope and Edmund opened the door and went inside, everyone turned their heads around and was shocked. It seemed like they were holding a meeting to discuss the problem of monsters and dark skies that suddenly appeared in the De Louis empire.

"Penny?!" cried Duchess Askary. The woman looked panicked and worried, then walked quickly towards her daughter. She cupped Penelope’s face and looked at her from head to toe. "Oh my God, my daughter! What happened to you? Why do you look messy like this?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Duke Askary stroked his daughter’s blue hair while Ethan told Isabella to just sit on the sofa, then approached his little sister. He looked at Edmund.

"Duke, what happened to my little sister?" asked Ethan in a sharp tone. "Can’t you protect her well? Why does Penny look like this?"

"To be honest, I don’t know what happened to her either," explained Edmund. "We handed over Sebastian De Louis to the Emperor and the Emperor was cooperative. The Emperor helped us to capture Marquess Lysander." The Duke glanced at Isabella. "Lady Isabella, your adoptive Father is dead. I killed him because he tried to hurt my wife."

Isabella Lysander froze. She was wide-eyed, and then looked down and nodded. The woman smiled sadly and Ethan immediately approached her. The man knelt in front of Isabella and held her hand tightly. Even though Isabella was always tortured by Marquess Lysander, all this time the woman lived with the Marquess and thought that man was her biological Father. This information must be painful for her.

"It’s okay," shook Isabella. She looked up and looked at Edmund. "I’m glad you did what you were supposed to do to protect your wife."

"Mother, the Marquess said nonsense to me," Penelope said suddenly. The woman cried again. And then, her body was shaking violently. Penelope cried loudly and didn’t know how to stop her tears. "The Marquess said he loves you, Mother."

Duchess Askary froze. The woman looked at her husband and Duke Askary looked very calm.

"That’s... correct," nodded Duchess Askary. "But, all that is in the past. Mother also did not accept his feelings. Mother said that Mother really loves your Father and can only think of him as a friend."

"But..." Penelope suddenly fell to her knees. Edmund widened his eyes and immediately knelt beside Penelope. Likewise, Penelope’s parents immediately knelt before their daughter. Seeing that, Ethan and Isabella immediately stood up and ran towards Penelope. "The Marquess said that I was not Father’s biological daughter. He said I was his biological daughter and Mother deliberately changed my hair color with a magic potion so that Father wouldn’t suspect anything."

Hearing that, as well as how Penelope cried so hard, made everyone freeze. Edmund clenched his jaw and gritted his teeth. He hugged Penelope and growled.

"I should have tortured him more cruelly before I killed him!"

"Penny, that’s not true," said Duke Askary. He cupped his daughter’s face and smiled. "You are my biological daughter. I always took care of your Mother very well after marriage. Never once have I seen your Mother talking to another man if I wasn’t with her. You are my flesh and blood, Penelope Askary. Your hair color is real because you got it from me."

Penelope was silent. She sobbed violently.

"Is it true...?" Penelope asked in a choked tone. "I am... your biological daughter, Father?"

"Of course." Duke Askary laughed and immediately took over his daughter’s body from Edmund. He hugged Penelope and kissed her head repeatedly. Then, the Duke stroked Penelope’s hair and back lovingly. "My darling daughter. You must be really scared because of Marquess Lysander’s nonsense. Calm down. I swear in my life that you and Ethan are my biological children."

Penelope cried again. This time, the woman cried like a child. She was very relieved. She hugged her Father tightly and also apologized to her Mother for daring to doubt her own Mother.

Seeing that, Edmund smiled. He also felt relieved and felt happy for Penelope. However, for some reason, he has a bad feeling about something.

###

Edmund and Penelope decided to return to Gerwyn’s mansion to prepare themselves.

They believed that even more terrifying monsters would appear in De Louis’ empire. Goddess Oizys will never be satisfied with just a little destruction like this. Edmund was gathering all his knights while Penelope went to the twins’ room to check their condition.

"My Lady!" Sarah approached her master. "Are you okay?"

Penelope smiled and nodded. "I’m fine, Sarah. What about Raven and Ocean?"

Penelope went to the twins’ bed and kissed both of them on the forehead. For some reason, the two children looked restless. Penelope checked the two’s bodies using purification and healing magic. Luckily, the twins are fine.

"They were just asleep, My Lady. Since earlier, the Prince and the Princess have always been crying. They seemed afraid."

Sarah helped Penelope change clothes. The woman still had the clothes of a Dame that Dame Rosaline had given her. Penelope felt that she would be able to move her body better if she wore a female knight outfit like this. Sarah also tied Penelope’s hair so that her lady wouldn’t feel disturbed when she was fighting.

’Penelope.’

Penelope froze. She glanced around and put on a cautious posture.

"My Lady? What is it?" Sarah asked. However, Penelope paid no attention to the question.

’Poor Penelope Askary. You have been lied to by your own Mother. Your Mother is having an affair, darling. You’re not Duke Askary’s biological daughter! Duke Askary is just trying to calm you who are crying like a woman who has lost her mind!’

The voice in Penelope’s head made Penelope’s heart beat fast. A speck of darkness began to appear in her heart. Slowly, the darkness in her heart began to grow and made her chest hurt. Penelope fell to her knees and started screaming in pain. The woman held her head and squeezed her hair tightly.

"MY LADY?!" Sarah knelt before Penelope. She started to panic. The twins also started crying. "My Lady, what is wrong with you?!"

’Did you know, Penelope? Your husband even cheated on you. He had sex with Isabella Lysander behind your back. They do it over and over again. Do you think the child in Isabella’s womb is Ethan Askary’s child? Ha ha! That’s the child of Edmund Gerwyn!’

"Arrrgh! Stop!" Penelope shouted.

Sarah jumped in surprise. The woman immediately ran out of the room and shouted for Edmund Gerwyn.

’Shall I show it to you, darling? I can show you how hot and wild the sex between Edmund Gerwyn and Isabella Lysander can be!’

Suddenly, Penelope could see it. How Edmund shook his hips passionately and very wildly. How Edmund’s manhood entered Isabella’s womanhood and made Isabella moan loudly in pleasure. The two of them kissed very hotly and the sounds of the disgusting kiss could be heard by Penelope.

’You see that, don’t you? They betrayed you! That is Edmund Gerwyn’s biological child, not Ethan Askary’s biological child!’

"PENNY!"

When Edmund Gerwyn entered the twins’ room, the Duke froze. The man widened his eyes when he saw how Penelope was surrounded by black light. Under his wife’s body, a black magic circle also appeared. Penelope cried as she looked at Edmund.

"TRAITOR!" Penelope shouted. "YOU MADE ISABELLA PREGNANT BEHIND MY BACK!"

Edmund froze again. "Penny, what are you talking about?"

"YOU ENJOY IT!" Penelope screamed and tried to catch her breath. Then, she cried even more. The angry expression and hateful gaze that had been visible earlier had now disappeared. "Ed... please kill me right now!"

"What...?"

"Kill me!" Penelope ordered. The woman screamed again and looked at the twins. "Kill me before I hurt our children!"
