After all, I do read books.

No matter how how beautiful the words are

its still like playing with fire.

Hot.

That's how I feel.

What fire?

I'm a cold-hearted Mistress, Count.

He's going to come back soon.

Yanshu calling...

is because I wanted to talk to you alone about something.

I want to talk about your future.

I will be waiting at the lamppost at midnight.

Yanshu is a fool.

There's a maid sleeping behind you.

I don't want you to be tied in a scandal.

I saw Keiko carrying pillows and leaving already.

You don't think about the face you have as an aristocrat?

I am not an aristocrat.

I'm not even Japanese.

What do you think I came here for?

I have heard many rumors about you within my 15 years of living in Japan.

After that, I spent 3 years preparing,

learning about poetry and linguistics.

And even picked up ways to replicate paintings.

All just to meet you.

Persuading you to marry me.

To appropriate your father's assets.

After that, abandon you.

But after I have met you, I know

not just anyone can seduce you.

Can't?

That's why I have a proposal for you.

Although the wedding binds us,

this is all of choice, its up to you.

I will save you from this place.

To a place no one knows.

And of course, the money will be split.

That's impossible.

A lady marrying some old man...

Do you think that's possible?

I won't marry anyone.

If you think like that?

Then it's wrong.

Not beautiful.

Miss, if you commit suicide who will inherit the assets?

Is that what you want?

To give your assets away to that old pervert?

Then he'll find a young beautiful girl

and hide her away, and train her to read.

Uncle will find out about us.

If we get caught, he'll drag us down into the cellar.

Uncle.

Underground?

It's written in here that if someone is hung

they will stick there tongue out and defecate themselves.

But that day, why was aunt's lips shut.

And she was very clean.

Come with me somewhere.

Here,

is where I did things with your aunt.

I will tell you.

And you will not want to leave.

Do you understand?

That day, only look at. Listen.

and I never want to go down there for a second time.

This is a high concentration of opium.

If you drink 3 drops, you will sleep all night.

5 will make you completely pass out.

If you want to die within 5 minutes

then drink this entire vile.

As long as you have this, your Uncle will not be able to take you down to the cellar.

At least then you will be able to die quickly.

If you except my marriage proposal, you can think of this as a wedding gift.

This is more expensive than a diamond.

Find me a maid.

One where if she was to disappear no one would notice or care.

A bit stupid as well could be good.

One to be locked in the insane asylum

under my name and cannot escape.

If I were to find you this type of maid,

what would you do with Keiko?

I'm prettier than Miss Hideko?

Are you serious?

Of course.

Hideko is pretty, but you, Keiko, are even prettier

You can even speak Korean?

I learned Korean

Just so I can talk with you.

I really wanted to say this to you.

You're enticed aren't you.

This adorable thing.

If someone finds out about this, I will be fired.

Don't worry about that.

Come and live with me.

The maid Count sent over is very suitable.

She seems so foolish and naive.

Mother.

If possible, let Sook-Hee look at the artifacts or some clothes.

She goes crazy over these things.

Its ok if Sook-Hee reads this letter

She's illiterate and cannot read.

Can you help me read this?

Huh?

This is your name.

You don't even know your own name?

What happened to your foot?

Who was it?

Who took Tamako's shoe.

Apologize to her in front of all the maids later.

If she leaves because of you people,

you will be stripped naked and thrown out.

Its done.

Is the fragrance ok?

Why don't you join me in here.

What?

You don't need to be embarrassed Miss.

Even a professional jeweler could hardly tell the difference

Is that so?

I'm returning the earrings I borrowed from you.

Women love to play with fate.

She always takes the earrings and tries them on as she looks in the mirror.

I feel that Sook-Hee will do her best.

She won't be suspicious about us.

Until the day comes, don't let Sook-Hee find out.

Let her do her best to help you fall in love with me.

She do any and everything to persuade you.

For me?

Now you look like a Miss.

Why did your mom pass away?

"I'm so lucky to have given birth to you before I died"

"I don't feel burdened at all"

Is it like that in the books?

Men are disgusting.

Why do you always think of those things.

You're asking me about how I think?

You think all I'm interested in is your body?

Is that so?

You definitely have been reading too many of those erotic writings.

If there's anything I do want from you...

Its not your eyes, hands, or ass.

But your money.

You having the first is money.

Talking and teasing an aristocrat like you is so fun.

Why she like this?

Why is she so angry?

When she sleeps sighs so heavily.

Every time I meet with the Count, Sook-Hee always looks so angry.

I don't like it.

Please endure when Sook-Hee comes back.

When she sees this scene,

Only then will she believe in the engagement.

Then treat me as a doll.

I'll also think of another woman.

And who will you think of?

Duchess Juliet.

Miss!

Count!

Miss...

Her feelings were locked, deep away.

Kim Lan couldn't explain.

When the Lady found out about this,

she brought 4 silver bells to Kim Lan.

Calling them "distant bells"

Something used to expand...

Two to put inside of the Lady.

Two to put into her.

The two spread their legs.

Just like two scissors.

and intertwine.

And touch each other.

Their labias' rubbing together.

Combined with the sound of the bells ringing

There's a power outage, go get the lights.

Yes. Understood.

Kim Lan asked,

When will this be put in?

the Lady asked, why?

It went in deep.

And the saliva

Why are you telling me these sweet things.

To kiss.

Why caress my breasts?

Why is my p*ssy wet?

And lightly bite the shoulder.

At that time the bells were put in...

and- -Outstanding!

So cute.

If the Count were to see this...

Would he be as gentle as you?

Of course.

After that, the Count will...

will...

also...

Keep going Tamako.

Like the Count would.

The Count..

The Count...

Will like this very much.

After that,

He would...

So soft, so warm...

Ah so wet.

Your beauty takes peoples' breath away.

Mistress, do you want me to continue?

Yes, continue.

Teach me everything.

I could die happily know that I got to eat you out.

Am I good?

Am I good?

Will you promise to never leave me?

Yes.

Absolutely.

I will not...

What?

Mistress.

At the beginning didn't know anything.

Looks like she's a natural.

Wait a minute...

Stop it...

It's because of you I didn't succeed.

She knows nothing.

If you continue like this, she will be afraid and back out.

Do you see?

If she is doubting the marriage,
