Auston's eyes were fixed on Ruan Tang's face without any concealment.
Ruan Tang didn't dodge or evade and let him look at her. He knew from childhood that he was good-looking, so no matter whether it was the eyes of a madman or the eyes that made people stunned by astonishment fell on him.
He was no longer surprised.
"...You are so good-looking." Auston looked at him straight and spoke as if he was talking to himself.
Ruan Tang was calm and composed.
The housekeeper and Anna suddenly became happy.
Even though they hadn't done anything yet, Ruan Tang was happy that he had already aroused Austin's interest in him.
Sure enough, Ruan Tang’s beauty and the 95% pheromone match between them were not fake... Even if Duke Austin was a lunatic, he was still an Alpha.
The butler was about to say something to confuse Ruan Tang and Austin: "Sir..."
But before they could finish being happy, Auston's next words made them all gasp.
"Your skin is so delicate, just like the finest silk. If you peel it off and make it into a beauty lamp, it must be very beautiful and worth collecting..." His tone was light and his eyes were fixed on Ruan Tang, as if he was imagining how he would peel off his skin.
Aston seemed to smell something. He closed his eyes in ecstasy and sniffed the cold aroma in the air that was neither orchid nor plum. He said intoxicatedly, "You smell good too. Is it the smell of your pheromones? I think if I cut off your glands and made them into spices, they would definitely be very precious spices..."
He felt that he had not said anything shocking and that everything he said was very normal.
However, the housekeeper, Anna, and Aaron who were present were horrified. They took a deep breath and dared not even breathe: "Sir..."
Sure enough, a madman is a madman and cannot be viewed with ordinary logic.
The Queen is so...
How could such a person send an Omega to be abused by him?
As the person who was imagined to be skinned and gland removed, Ruan Tang herself seemed much calmer when she heard Auston's eerie and terrifying words that made her spine shiver...
"Thank you for your compliment." Ruan Tang remained calm and said, "But I'm afraid you can't do this..."
He knew that the person he was going to marry was not a normal person, so he had no expectations for this person at all, and even had an expectation.
After spending more time with his mother and sister, Ruan Tang also knew that the madman's words could not be taken seriously. The people in the royal family and the Duke's mansion would never let him kill him, skin him and remove his glands.
Therefore, no matter how horrible the words Austin said, Ruan Tang felt that she could regard them as a compliment from a madman.
"Why?" Auston looked at him curiously with his blue eyes through the mask.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone obeyed him, was afraid of him, and terrified of him. Ruan Tang was the first person who not only had no fear of him, but also directly rejected him.
This made him feel even more excited.
"You think my skin is beautiful because it grows on my body and covers my flesh and blood. If you peel it off, it will not look the same as you see now. The same goes for my glands. They emit fragrance because I am alive and they grow on my body..." Ruan Tang looked at the eyes behind the mask with great certainty and said in a factual tone, "If you cut it off, maybe it will no longer smell the same as you do now."
Facing a madman like Austin, he was almost calm to the point of being outrageous. When he talked to him about the skin and glands on his body, it didn't seem like he was talking about skin and glands.
It's more like an adult telling a child which toys cannot be taken apart.
The butler and the other three became more and more horrified as they listened to the conversation that seemed to have taken place in the same dimension.
Looking at this very beautiful Duchess, for some reason they suddenly felt that this Duchess was not normal...
How could a normal person be like this?
Auston seemed to be stumped by Ruan Tang's question and fell into some confusion.
After a long while, he said to himself, "How could that be? I will take good care of it, using the most expensive and advanced technology. I will never let your skin change, and I will never let your glands change their taste..."
He wanted to get such a beautiful thing.
After getting them, he would definitely keep them carefully, treasure them, and would never let them be damaged in the slightest.
After all, he had never seen such good skin before, and the fragrance on Ruan Tang's body was something he had never smelled before, a special smell that inexplicably attracted him...
So special, yet so desirable...
"...Let me ask you another question. Why do you want to peel off my skin and cut off my glands?" Ruan Tang listened to him talking about how to take care of his skin and glands in the future. His tone was as calm as ever, as if he had already peeled off his skin and cut off his glands.
Auston didn't think twice and said, "Of course it's for collection."
His skin is so beautiful, his smell is so special...
He wants to own it.
"I am married to you now. I am your partner in the legal sense and I am yours." Ruan Tang remained calm: "Even if you peel off my skin and cut off my glands, you still have to find a way to preserve them properly, and the effect will be far worse than if you put them on my own body..."
Ruan Tang felt as if she had turned into the daughter of the prime minister who told stories to the tyrant every night in One Thousand and One Nights: "I am yours in my entirety. Whenever you want to see my skin and smell my pheromones, you can do so. There is really no need to go to such great lengths to separate them from me."
"You are entirely mine?" Auston murmured, seeming to be somewhat confused by him.
Ruan Tang said without hesitation: "Yes, I belong to you completely. Therefore, I will definitely take good care of my skin and glands for you. I think there is no one in the entire empire who can take better care of them than me... Please rest assured."
He had always known that the logic of a madman could not be viewed by normal people, and he also knew that the people in the royal family and the Duke of Austin's mansion would never allow this madman to hurt them.
But it still makes people feel uncomfortable to live under the same roof day and night with someone who wants to peel off his skin and cut out his glands.
Therefore, Ruan Tang chose to deceive Austin.
Ruan Tang believed that he knew some tricks to deal with mentally ill patients.
Austin sat listlessly in the wheelchair, not speaking for a long time, as if he was confused by Ruan Tang.
"It's getting late, I want to rest." Seeing him like this, Ruan Tang immediately looked at the housekeeper and said, "Mr. Housekeeper, could you please take me to my residence?"
He became the Duke of Austin's legal partner and the other owner of the ducal mansion.
Now, under the premise that one of the owners of this mansion is a lunatic, Ruan Tang feels that she can try to make certain decisions.
The butler looked at Auston cautiously, and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he immediately stepped forward and bowed, leading the way for Ruan Tang: "Yes, ma'am, please follow me."
Ruan Tang's room was arranged by the housekeeper according to Austin's instructions long before Ruan Tang arrived.
This is the room in the mansion farthest from Auston's master bedroom.
"Good night, sir." Seeing that the butler agreed, Ruan Tang politely bowed to her nominal husband, then followed the butler up the spiral staircase to her room.
After a busy day and having little interest in her nominal husband, Ruan Tang just wanted to have a good rest.
At this point, Austin had just said such horrifying words. Even as the queen's personal lady-in-waiting, it would not be a good idea for Anna to urge them to consummate their marriage at this time.
Given the madness of this Mad Dog Duke, Anna was really afraid of sleeping in the same bed with him at night. He could really peel off the skin of his partner...
If this really gets out, it will be a huge scandal and stain on the royal family and the queen's family.
"He's not afraid. Hasn't he heard of my reputation in the Imperial Star? How come he's not afraid at all?" After a long while, Auston looked at Ruan Tang's receding back, then he came back to his senses and murmured, "Aren't Omegas supposed to be the most timid creatures in the world?"
When I heard his question, I knew he was talking to himself and didn't actually mean to ask anyone else.
Anna still gritted her teeth and replied, "Your Highness, the lady is your partner, you are his Alpha, and he is your Omega. He loves you so much that he can't stop admiring you. How could he be afraid of you?"
"Does he belong to me?" Auston asked.
Anna answered without hesitation: "Yes, he belongs to you."
…
"Madam, please come in." The housekeeper took Ruan Tang to his room and said respectfully, "From now on, this is your room. If there is anything you don't like, please feel free to tell me."
As soon as they entered the door, a disabled robot came in carrying Ruan Tang's luggage.
Ruan Tang breathed a sigh of relief and immediately looked around the room where she would be living for an unknown period of time.
The room was very clean, without the slightest odor. Although the layout was still consistent with the mansion and gave people a gloomy and dark feeling, the lighting in the room was also dim, which made Ruan Tang feel uncomfortable.
But he felt that there was nothing he didn't like, so he commanded the robot to tidy up the room.
"No, it's fine. Let's leave it like this." Ruan Tang looked at the room again, and although she was still not used to it, she still said this.
He was already too tired and now just wanted to have a good sleep and didn't want to bother with anything else.
"In that case, I'll go down first, ma'am. You should have a good rest." The butler said immediately upon seeing this.
Looking at Ruan Tang and Austin, he knew that it was impossible to expect the newlyweds to consummate their marriage on their wedding night.
Ruan Tang nodded without comment: "Okay."
The butler immediately retreated with the robot butler, and Ruan Tang was the only one left in the huge room.
