Behind Sir Ian, the butler spoke up quickly. He was aware that Lady Rachel had spent the night with the duke, and he was curious to hear what the duke had to say about the woman who was currently occupying the duke's bedroom.

"Inform the Royal doctor about the lady so she can check her condition and give her the appropriate medication. Until I return, she may remain in the castle..... I would like to talk with her".

The Duke face is serious, and Alex can tell that this is not a one-night stand affair. The duke appears to think highly of her.

"I obey his Majesty's order and I'll take care of the lady". Alex bowed and bid the duke and his nights farewell.

One last time, Sebastian let himself into his room and peered at the lady sleeping off unconsciously.

Finally, they set out for the Askhar forest with his three powerful nights and his top one hundred military men.

When Rachel opened her eyes, she experienced discomfort throughout her entire body, particularly in her female region. It appears as though she had been beaten so severely that her body has broken into pieces.

'Urgh! What happened? Why am I feeling this way?'

Her head was hurting a lot as she attempted to stand up. She reaches into her hair and discovers that she is completely naked.

"What......"

When she examined her body, she discovered numerous red dots throughout, particularly in her breast and female region.

She then turns around and realizes she is not in her room.

"No, no, no, Shit!" Did I have a one-night stand? with whom?

As she struggled to recall the details, a flash of an image of a man and woman passionately making out brought back the memory.

She covered her mouth with her hand as if she were unable to accept the reality of her one-night stand with an unidentified man.

Her memory is hazy, but she does recall fragments, such as how she was coveted many times and how it was so painful and exhausting that she passed out.

"Whoever you are, you're a monster! How could you treat me like this? Hmmp".

She is enraged with the man who coveter her body until dawn.

'He's not only a monster but a pervert!'.

'Urgh! I need to run away from this lunatic before I lose my life'.

She finally stands up, but as soon as she tried to stand, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.

The door opens suddenly, and a handful of maids came inside to help her stand up.

"My lady, please don't push yourself to stand up. The doctor will be here to assess your condition, and we will assist you with taking a bath."

The head maid informed her and respectfully guided her to sit in the bed.

"Do you know where I am?"

She realizes she is completely naked, holding a blanket tightly in her hands as the only thing to cover her. Her face is also extremely flushed.

The head maid smiled at her.

'I never thought the lady is so beautiful. It makes sense why the master asked us to look after her.'

"You are at the palace of the Duke of Astrid, my lady. His Majesty gave us instructions to look after you while he was away subjugating the monsters in the Ashkar forest."

The head maid calmly explained to her while checking her condition.

"What? Duke of Astrid? His Majesty?"

When she realized she had sex with Sebastian, the duke of Astrid, her eyes nearly burst.

'No no no. Why him out of all people? The final boss? The female lead's true love. What have I done?'

Now that I've touched the final boss, will I actually die this time? Why I'm touching the flag that I shouldn't have! I'm so done. Say goodbye to this 18 years old body, you don't have the luck this time.

Her face contorted when she thinks of her possible deaths.

"My lady, are you feeling uncomfortable? Shall I call the doctor now?".

Upon seeing Rachel's face, the head maid and the other maids both experienced panics.

'All right, Rachel, relax. Let's take a bath first, then visit the doctor. It appears that I have a laceration there, which requires medical attention.'

She took a deep breath and ask the maids for their help.

"Can you please ask my personal maid to dress me".

"Your personal maid is currently at the salon my lady waiting for you".

"Thank you. Please call her after my bath".

The maids' faces flushed as they assisted her with her bath as they noticed the marks covering every inch of her body.

'Their master appeared to adore this woman. She was too highly desired. They look at each other's eyes and share the same perspective'.

Rachel wants to drown herself in the tub when she saw the maid's reaction.

'It can't be help. The duke is a monster in the bed. I remember how he did it with Ara in the tv series. I should count myself lucky that he didn't torture me with BDSM toys. I need to leave this place and return to my normal life'.

While pondering for her survival plan, she vows to never set foot inside the duke's palace ever again.

However, little did she know, there is no way out once she became involved with the duke of Astrid's life.

***

Corine opened the guest room and hurriedly came to her side.

"My lady, please punish me. It's my fault that I neglected you."

She cried so hard while kneeling in front of Rachel.

"Hush. Come here Corine. I'm not angry and I don't blame you. Your lady is an adult already and knows what she's doing. Don't put it in yourself".

Corine hug her and she patted her back like a baby.

"But my lady, his majesty is someone we cannot offend".

Rachel thinks that Corine has an idea of what happened to her and the duke.

"Hush now Corine. The duke and I know that it's consensual. If he is offended, then why he asks his family doctor to check on me. Stop having unnecessary thoughts. Your lady will be fine".

She smiled at Corine and continued to say "But I have to ask you a favor, could you please take this as a big secret between you and me? We don't want to worry Anne and the Marquis house".

"I promise with my life my lady. This is our secret, and I will protect it until I die".

"I can always rely on you Corine".

The imperial doctor came to check Rachel's condition. She gave an ointment medicine to smear in her private area and a medicine to drink to avoid her from getting a urinary infection.

"My lady, until the laceration is healed, please wait for a week before engaging in sexual activity. Since this is your first time, I am confident that His Majesty will understand."

The doctor assured her that she will be fine after a week.

'I'm a modern woman from the modern era, but this is the first time I've ever been treated for heavy sexual activity. I can't handle another episode of humiliation.'

"Then thank you doctor; I will follow your order".

The butler and head maid entered the room following the imperial doctor's departure.
