Novel & Cerita I Will Protect The Duke This Time

"We are the only ones who have the right to open the door of our master's car. Please step aside." When a mere security guard grabbed Hunter's hand, Hunter felt very angry in his heart. He controlled himself and said with a smile, "Of course, their protection is the most important thing." Hunter stepped back two steps. When the security guard opened the car door, Xavier and Duke got out of the car. Seeing the Duke, Hunter clenched his fists in anger because it was not the person he had been waiting for. Duke was wearing a realistic mask and had a stick in his hand, so Hunter thought it was his crippled murderer grandson, not the great businessman Duke Winters.

"If you would excuse us." The kingsman – Edmund – bowed too. First to the King, "Your Majesty," then to the Duke. "Your Grace." When he turned to them, he said. "My Ladies, this way, if you please." The Duke stepped closer to her and whispered. "Do not take his words to heart; he enjoys the misery of others." She nodded impulsively. He tapped her hand and squeezed her thumb for a brief second. Beth raised her eyes to look at him, holding his intense gaze. "You are safe here."

Making Iris realize how stupid all of her fears were because she was never going to be left alone in this. Lastly, Dom showed Iris one last bit of their conversation, his rooftop proposal to her, "I promise to never leave you and to protect you for all the eternity that Şekileus is blessing us with ... So, Iris Meave Hanson, will you make me the happiest dragon by marrying me and becoming Mrs. Iris Maeve McBlaze?"

"I was only following orders, Grand Duke." "Then I’m ordering you to answer me." "Hmph! You aren't my master." A heavy hush choked the room, broken only by the steady drip of water from an archaic pipe. Kaelus was just about to draw the dagger from his waist when a raw, cracking voice broke the deadlock from the end of the row. "Lancaster," the man on the far right whispered, his voice trembling. "The Duke took the lady to Lancaster." "Shut your mouth, damn it!" the scarred knight barked in a fury, suddenly lunging to kick his treacherous comrade. "The Duke will—"

She reached out and lightly touched my hand. “I’m telling you this because I’ve been where you are,” she whispered. “Trapped in his world, thinking I understood the rules. I don’t want you to get hurt the way I did. You seem like a good person, Lena. You deserve better than being kept in the dark.” Bianca stood up slowly, brushing invisible dust from her pants. She gave me one last smile. “Think about it, you don’t have to stay in the dark about all this. Fight for some answers, I know you can do it,” she said gently. “And be careful… Niccolò protects what’s his, but he also destroys anything that threatens his control.”

But his hand grabbed mine. “You don’t walk away from me like that,” he snapped. “Don’t try that with me.” Before I could react, a punch landed straight across his face, making him stagger back. “You bastard,” Duke muttered, stepping in front of me. People started gathering immediately, with their phones out. They recognized him. Duke shifted, placing himself in front of me completely, shielding me from view.

Fear locks my throat like a frozen door. She stops in front of me, so close I can smell her floral perfume, sharp and expensive. “The Duke has moved on, you see,” she purrs, her eyes alight with cruel pleasure. “He has his rebellions to plan, his northern ladies to visit. He doesn’t have time for problematic, prophetic little upstarts who cause diplomatic incidents and get valuable assets killed.” Leaning forward, she lets her words slip out like a threat. Her tone turns sharp, almost silent. Now it’s your turn to face what comes next

“Your brother is going to pass out at some point, and so are you. I won't hurt you.” “I don't trust you; I don't trust anyone,” I snapped angrily. “I know,” Elijah said and softened his aura. “But you need help; otherwise you would never have entered the dark forest. Only a desperate person would do that.” “Don't come any closer,” I said again. Elijah frowned, then looked up at the sky and muttered something I couldn't hear. “I am your protection,” he said seriously. “I promise you, I, Alpha Elijah Vane, will protect you both. I swear it by the Goddess.”

“Do it. I fucking dare you!” Razor freezes, his eyes swinging my way.Layla’s neck snaps in my direction, too. “What’s going on here?” I demand, my hands fisting at my sides. Razor snorts. “Nothing you need to concern yourself with, Brighton.” “Well, if it involves Layla and Sky, then it’s automatically something I’m going to concern myself with.” “What are you? Her fucking bodyguard?” he shouts, his voice rising to new levels as he waves his hands hysterically.“They’re mine! My family! Mine!”

She sighed and looked back at me. "I want to make a deal Duke Lionel"
