Ruan Tang looked at him in surprise. She didn't expect that he was not crazy.
During the entire breakfast process, Ruan Tang ate whatever and Auston followed suit, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
They got along so well that Ruan Tang almost felt that the legendary Duke Bluebeard was not that crazy after all, and was actually very normal most of the time.
Ruan Tang was obviously not the only one who thought this way. Butler Andre also thought so...
Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious and Ruan Tang and Austin were getting along pretty well, he, who happened to be standing next to Ruan Tang, looked at Ruan Tang several more times, trying to hint with his eyes that Ruan Tang should show her courtesy to Austin.
Over the years, as the Duke of Austin's illness became more serious, his temper became worse and worse...
It was rare for him to be in such a good mood, and in his opinion, this was the best time for Ruan Tang to please Austin.
Ruan Tang immediately accepted the hint from Butler Andre and understood what he meant.
In fact, Ruan Tang didn't want to ruin this perfect breakfast for him, but he knew that housekeeper Andre was the queen's man...
Although Andre was just a butler and she was a duchess...but as the butler who was the queen's spy, she had much more power in this mansion than herself, a duchess who was just a tool with no one to protect her.
Ruan Tang had to listen to the butler who was conveying the order on behalf of the Queen. He had to at least show his goodwill towards the Duke of Austin on the surface.
But Ruan Tang racked her brains as to how to please this crazy duke, but she couldn't think of a solution.
Thinking of this, Ruan Tang suddenly lost her appetite. No matter how delicious the breakfast was, she had no intention of continuing to eat it...
When the housekeeper saw that Ruan Tang didn't move, he looked at him a few more times and urged him to come with his eyes.
"Sir..." Ruan Tang put down his chopsticks. He was forced to do something and was about to say something to get close to Duke Austin.
"What are you looking at? Who told you to look?" At this moment, Auston, who had seemed very normal just now, suddenly got angry and directly picked up the cutlery on the table and threw it to Ruan Tang's side, where the housekeeper was standing. His tone suddenly changed, and it became gloomy and terrifying: "If you look again, I will dig your eyeballs out!"
"Bang——" The sound of tableware breaking suddenly rang out.
Ruan Tang was stunned: "..."
The housekeeper's face suddenly changed with fear, knowing that he had violated Auston's taboo. Because Auston's temper was too good recently, he forgot what kind of person he was on weekdays. Fear appeared on his face, and even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly: "My lord, I..."
When the other male servants standing nearby saw the butler like this, they all showed fear on their faces. They held their breath unconsciously and trembled with fear, but they still pretended to be calm.
Ruan Tang had been in the Duke's Mansion for several days. This was the first time she witnessed the Duke's mood swings and unpredictable moods online. She also finally understood the fear of him that everyone in the Duke's Mansion had, as well as the lingering gloomy and depressing atmosphere of the entire mansion.
Looking at Austin like this, Ruan Tang decided to take back the sympathy she had for him a few days ago. Although they were both poor people who had no choice but to be at the mercy of fate, Austin still had the right to vent his anger on other people. Butler Andre was the Queen's man, but in front of this madman he could only let him do whatever he wanted.
But he can only be controlled by others, constantly adjusting his mentality and forcing himself to adapt to this world.
"Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, please forgive me..." Butler Andre's face turned pale, but he did not defend himself at the first moment. Instead, he chose to admit his mistake directly and ask for forgiveness.
As the butler, he was well aware of Austin's temper and knew that if he did something wrong, it would be easier to gain his forgiveness by admitting his mistakes rather than making excuses.
But this time, Auston was obviously really angry. He glared at the butler with full of anger, as if he wanted to eat him alive: "It was not intentional once, but twice and three times, are you still going to tell me it was an accident?"
He clearly saw the butler looking at Ruan Tang several times, which made him unable to eat.
He had sensed Ruan Tang's nervousness since this morning, and he knew that someone must have put pressure on Ruan Tang...
"Sir, I..." The butler's face lost all color. He had never expected that Austin would be so concerned about the details today. He didn't even know how to defend himself.
Auston didn't even look at him, and said in a cold tone: "Choose for yourself? Do you want to dig your eyes out yourself, or do you want me to help you?"
The butler could no longer control his inner control, his whole body trembled, and he didn't know how to choose: "I..."
The others were also so frightened that their faces turned pale. For a moment, not even the sound of breathing could be heard in the huge restaurant.
Ruan Tang had never thought that she would witness such a bloody and horrifying scene of the legendary Duke Bluebeard digging out people's eyes after only a few days at the Duke of Austin's Mansion.
"Sir, you can't do this." Ruan Tang looked at the trembling butler. Before his hand touched her eyes, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but speak.
Although the housekeeper, as the queen's spy, had been watching him and putting pressure on him, Ruan Tang still couldn't bear to watch such a bloody and violent scene happen in front of his eyes.
As soon as he said this, everyone in the restaurant, including the butler, looked at him in surprise... They never expected that he would actually speak up to stop Auston.
The way they looked at Ruan Tang was as if they were looking at a brave warrior who was ready to die bravely.
When Auston met them on the first day, the look in his eyes that made people's hair stand on end, like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, also turned to him and stared at him straight: "Oh? Why can't I do this?"
"Because the Empire has its own laws." Ruan Tang said word by word, under the pressure from Austin, "The laws of the Empire emphasize human rights. Although they are your servants, they are also independent individuals... You are in an employment relationship, and the butler is not your appendage. You have no right to dispose of them at will."
Recalling Seth's horrible face, although Ruan Tang didn't have a good impression of the butler, she really couldn't bear to watch him having his eyes gouged out in front of her.
When he said this, he even thought that he would rather die. Even if Austin's anger turned to him and he attacked him, he had the watch given to him by the Queen to protect him. Austin couldn't kill him, which was better than the butler dying a heroic death by having his eyes gouged out.
"They are not my appendages. I have no right to dispose of them at will?" Austin listened to his words, but he seemed to hear a joke.
He sneered softly, and immediately looked at the butler with a cold gaze: "Well, Andre, I won't punish you, but you get out of the Duke's Mansion right now!"
"Now - answer me, do you want your eyes back or do you want to keep them?"
The butler turned pale, remembering the pressure the queen had put on him, and answered without hesitation: "I... I voluntarily dig out my eyes and present them to you, my Lord."
As the Queen's spy, he had to stay in the Duke's residence. Once he left, he would be of no use to the Queen.
In order to achieve his goal, what does it matter to him to give up a pair of eyes?
Auston was not surprised by his answer. He sneered out of boredom when he heard it: "Ha~"
It was as if he was mocking Ruan Tang.
"Then you can't do that!" Ruan Tang had nothing to say and could only continue to insist: "No one has the right to turn a normal person into a disabled person. This is a very perverted behavior."
Since everyone indulged this madman, no one told him that his behavior was wrong——
Then let him say.
It would have been fine if such a thing had not happened in front of him, but when it happened in front of him, out of his conscience, Ruan Tang felt that he could not ignore it.
"I don't want him to become disabled." Auston didn't seem to have the slightest intention of taking his anger out on Ruan Tang. He just said as a matter of course, "I will put his eyes back exactly the same way he dug them out. I will use the best medical technology to heal him and make sure they are exactly the same as before they were dug out."
Since such an eyesore was determined to stay by his side and inform others, he would just let them stay.
However, they must also be punished and pay the price.
When the butler heard that Austin agreed to put his eyes back in place and he wouldn't have to go blind, he heaved a sigh of relief and began gathering strength in his fingers, ready to dig out his eyes in front of Austin to show him, satisfying the Duke's inherent brutality.
But Ruan Tang still frowned deeply, not daring to agree. She wanted to speak, but seeing that the two were willing, she didn't know where to start: "But..."
He finally understood that Duke Austin did not like everyone around him to become disabled, but enjoyed this bloody and violent process.
He looked away, no longer looking at the butler and Auston, and felt a little nauseous in his stomach.
Auston looked at Ruan Tang's gloomy face through the mask, and thought for a long time before suddenly asking, "Don't you want to see such a scene? Are you scared?"
He suddenly remembered that Ruan Tang once told him that she hated bloody scenes.
I was reminded of how kind this Omega was.
"Yes, I don't want to see such a scene." Ruan Tang was under tremendous pressure. After a pause, he finally chose to go all out: "I feel very disgusted. It will make me feel sick..."
If Auston didn't ask him, he wouldn't tell it, but since Auston asked, he decided to tell the truth...
Even if Auston was angry, there was nothing he could do.
Although she knew who Austin was before they got married, and was prepared to stay alone in the bedroom and turn a blind eye to it, Ruan Tang still felt that he would not be able to bear it if this kind of thing happened in front of him frequently, and she did not want to force herself to adapt and get used to it.
Anyway, he is a newlywed now and Auston can't kill him, so let it be.
"In that case, there's no need to dig out your eyes. Go away." Austin looked at Ruan Tang with a frown on his face, looking very unbearable, and immediately waved his hand impatiently at the butler and ordered.
Punishing someone is a small matter, and he didn't want Ruan Tang to lose her appetite because of this.
