The Duchess had been standing on the border of a frozen lake for the last hour.

She would visit the forest every day before the sunset and stay there until the lights disappeared.

The place was always freezing cold and it was not really possible to feel the sunlight.

However, the female made her ritual and she had been doing that for the last 366 days.

__ My Lady, we must discuss important issues. You postponed it too much. It's been a year since...__ An old man tried to speak but was interrupted .

__ You are disturbing my moment with my husband, Max. Be quiet. 

The white-haired male cleared his throat and insisted:

__ Forgive me. But you ought to face reality. That man... That person was an impostor, a traitor. He either lied to you or to his own father. 

The gorgeous lady grabbed the old man by the neck and choked him firmly.

He was about to pass out when Yongsun sensed an unfamiliar scent.

Releasing her grip, the Duchess looked ahead and saw a skinny person getting out of a hole from the frozen lake.

__ What the hell! Am I allucinating?

The man murmured with fear:

__ That is one of them, my lady. Someone like your husband.

__ Why would you say such a silly thing, old man?

Cranky, the dark-haired noble decided to approach the stranger.

__ Hey there! Do you need help?

The person slowly stood up and turned to look at the brunette.

The Duchess gasped and ran toward the other one.

__ What happened to you? Are you alright? Here. Take my coat.

Yongsun couldn't understand how anyone could survive that freezing weather. Let alone the water below the ice.

The stranger was absolutely and she was like a younger version of Yul, the brunette's partner who passed.

Glaring, the stranger spoke and her voice was hoarse:

__ You smell like death. I don't like you.

Shocked, the Duchess stepped ahead and touched the young woman's hair.

__ Who are you? This silver hair... Are you related to Yul? 

Slapping the Duchess' hand, the handsome female growled:

__ Why should I tell you? 

__ Let me help you. Here, take this coat.

The girl's eyes dilated and changed colors.

__ I smell blood from here. Stay away from me!

They stared into each other's eyes for a lomg time.

__ What are you? __ The dark-haired female insisted.

__ Your doom. __ The skinny girl gritted her teeth and turned her back.

She had a perfect shape. Exceot for a huge scar from her shoulder down her waist, like an incomplete X.

The stranger ran faster than any human, leaving another question mark on the Duchess' face. 

Back to her employee, Yongsun murmured:

__ Something is odd. That person is almost like a clone of my husband.

__ Those types like to reproduce a lot.

Glaring, the female growled:

__ I TOLD YOU TO STOP SPEAKING ABOUT HIM LIKE THAT! 

Bowing, the servant spoke with deference:

__ Forgive me, my lady. But if I don't tell you the truth, who will?

__ Sometimes you sound like a crazy man, Max...<
