How to Survive as the Monster Duke’s Wife Chapter 40 has been released. As Ilene's fingers tremble against the cold glass windowpane, a faint chill spreads through her veins – not just because of the winter breeze outside, but also due to the harsh reality that awaits within these opulent walls. For in the grand halls of Biffailten Manor, Ilene is pariahs – ostracized by those who deem her prophetic visions nothing more than a curse. Her own imagination became both blessing and bane; veiled whispers of tomorrow haunt every moment. Yet it was on one such fateful eve that fate twisted its cruel knife, leaving Ilene bound to the very being she had long sought to flee. The darkness shrouding the castle seemed palpable as the Duke of Biffailten materialized before her. A summer breath of uncertainty mingles with frost-ridden dread when gazing upon those unfathomable depths, bottomless as an abyss yet burning like fireflies dancing across his skin – now striking the spark that sets her very soul ablaze. 'Why does the demon duke become so tranquil,' wonders Ilene, tracing each formidable line etched onto his stern visage – especially when deployed against all else with ruthless precision?
