Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Fine! Then my punishment is, i will teach you how to use dagger every morning!" he accepted, "now it is my turn, why do you want to run away from this palace? Why are yo so much against this marriage?"

As the words left his mouth, his gaze turned intense. She did not know it was due to the alcohol or his eyes were truly that enchanting. Even his voice had turned magnetic and husky that left her heart trembling.

"Nobles are full of politics. And there are a lot of girls around you, either it is work or nobles. The girl who will marry you will waste half of her day in only getting rid of those flies!" 'and you are the one who did not want to marry me too.' she wanted to add but decided against it.

"That is it? Was there no politics where you used to live?" he asked back and she pursued her lips.

"Then? What if the flies were taken away?" he asked and she nodded,

"Then it would have been different and you would not have been opposed to it?" he pressured and she nodded again,

"Well, ah, yes. Then i would have agreed to it!" whats going in saying anyway!

Finally a smile formed on his lips and he nodded.

"Alright. Now what do you want to ask!" there was a sense of satisfaction on his face.

"Umm. if you are offering. I want to know what will happen to lady Elizabeth now? Did she really need to marry the crown prince?" since she was even planning to beat Andrew that only meant that she did not want to marry him.

"I will find a way. But it would be a lie if i would say that i already have a solution. We can not go against his majesty!" she took a deep breath as she nodded and filled her glass and took another sip from her glass.

"You are drinking too much!" he muttered with a frown as her face had turned completely red and her eyes had turned hazy.

"Am i!" she stood up to pick the glass of water instead from the bar counter. She did not want to drink so much. But she did not know why she was feeling so hot and thirsty.

But as she stood up, she felt like the floor was shaking and she was floating into the air.

"Wow.. i did not know that we have a rotating floor too!" she mumbled with a silly grin on her face.

And before she could take a step further, she lost balance and was about to fell on the floor.

She closed her eyes when she felt that she was going to hit the ground but a strong pair of arms had already held her securely.

His both hands were wrapped around her arms in a possessive way.

"You are more drunk that i have thought!" he shook his head as he looked at her silly grin.

This time she did not deny but nodded obediently and then flashed all her teeth to him with a silly face.

"I did not know why but i was so thirsty!" she retorted as she looked at him with puppy face.

Her red face was so enchanting. Her eyes was looking glassy and her fair skin had a hue of red color.

"But the wine was not water." there was no doubt that she was not even able to open the door. She was too drunk that she could not even stand still.

His eyes flickered but he did not pursued the matter as she was looking like a kid who was admitting that he had done mistake.

"Sit back, i will bring water for you!" he helped her in sitting back on the sofa and turned to bring water for her.

But just as he turned she stood up again and he frowned on her. He pushed her shoulders and forced to her to sit back on the sofa and looked at her with a frown.

But before he complain, she pouted her lips and looked at him with teary eyes. Though he was sure that he had not used much force, but she was behaving like a kid!

"Ouch! My lord, this is also the reason that no one wants to marry you! If you will be so many with a woman then you are going to stay bachelor forever!" she pouted her lips and looked at him with misty eyes.

Hearing her words, he looked at her shoulders and his hands in a daze.

"You should be more gentlemanly, my lord." she added looking at him but his face turned more confused.

"Let me show you!" with that she stifle a laugh and held his hands. His large hands completely covered her small one.

"Hic! Like this, my lord." she moved his hands towards her cheeks and then cupped her cheeks,

"Now repeat after me!" he eyed at her and did not wait for his affirmation as she continued, "my dear, you are not feeling well, so sit here. I will bring water for you!" she muttered in a sweet voice as she looked at him,

"You should repeat it, so that you wull get habitual to that!" then she started laughing as she looked at his stunned face.

"Only this way hic! A girl would feel touched and like you or you wull continue to be a cold brazen man!"

"You know you are being too bold today. You took advantage of me by kissing me and licking my lips publicly! Hic! Since you wanted punishment a few minutes ago,

I should punish you in the same way. Hic!" her words came out rather slurry but she was looking so damn seductive and so dominating that he was not able to react or took his eyes away from her.

And before he could react she pulled his collar and he fell over her on the sofa.
