The Duke’s Dark Lady Chapter 42 was quite dark in its own way, with Juwell meeting Flanders and cursing her unborn child. Juwell’s resentment for Flanders and her previous family runs deep, and rightfully so; she was abused and mistreated to the point she was killed for Flanders’s own gain. Juwell tries to pretend that she is fine with Flanders and treats her quite well, but her real feelings are filled with hatred and despise. Flanders wants to keep Juwell close to her and keep an eye on her, probably because of her own insecurity.
Juwell is not perturbed by Flanders’s actions. It seems like she almost expects it. Flanders has incomplete divine powers, which she gained by making a deal with the devil. Her insecurity is even more evident when she is confronted by a truly talented Saint who does not have to use crooked methods to get her powers. Flanders also insists on meeting the Knight that Juwell cherishes, which makes it all the more suspicious. Despite all that, Juwell is not fazed, having lived her life as poor Estella before.
If you are also looking forward to Juwell’s revenge on her family that threw her in hell and want more updates about the next chapter, then this article is for you. In today’s article, we will talk about The Duke’s Dark Lady’s upcoming chapter. We will discuss the release date of Chapter 43, recap the previous chapter and tell our readers where they can read the manhwa! The Duke’s Dark Lady is a dark fantasy and psychological manhwa that deals with a lot of heavy and dark topics like abuse and revenge.
The manhwa became popular after its release in 2022 for its intriguing storyline and vengeful female protagonist. The Duke’s Dark Lady is about Estella, an illegitimate child of the Duke who was gifted with enormous Divine powers and was revered as the most powerful Saintess. Despite that, Estella faced severe abuse at home, hidden from the world. When Estella is sacrificed to the Devil, she spends 600 years in hell. Suddenly, the Devil extends his hand towards Estella with an offer to take revenge on her enemies.
The Duke’s Dark Lady: Chapter 42 Recap
In the previous chapter of The Duke’s Dark Lady, Juwell crosses paths with Duchess Marriot and Saintess Flanders, the people who had abused her when she was living as Estella. Juwell asks Rishak to leave and has a private meeting with Duchess Marriot, where she ends up humiliating her. Juwell tells Marriot to lick the parfait she dropped on the floor, who actually gets on the floor but is smugly stopped by Juwell. Later, Juwell meets with Saintess Flanders, who apologizes to Flanders for only showing her bad things.
Flanders tells Juwell that as an Emerald of Blessing, she only hopes that things get better as soon as possible. They chat for a while, and Flanders asks Juwell if she has any intentions of returning back to the temple. Flanders tries to flatter Juwell by saying that her activity as a Saint greatly impressed her, but Juwell sees right through it. It is just an attempt from Flanders to keep Juwell, the new revered Saintess, in check. Juwell tells Flanders that she doesn’t intend to return to the temple.
Juwell also tells Flanders that people have a “real” Saint like her, unlike Juwell, which is a lie since Flanders gained powers after sacrificing Estella to the Devil. Juwell asks Flanders about her unborn child, and she tells Juwell that she wants to name her child Estella after her loving sister. Juwell is angry at the thought and gets flashbacks from the time she was tormented by Flanders. Juwell asks Flanders if she can bless her child and begins chanting a blessing, but in her heart, she wishes great misery falls on Flanders’s unborn child.
