Regressed As The Duke 소설 & 이야기

“The Duke says that it's not a good idea for me to be around right now.” He stared at me for a moment. “You're leaving Paradisa?” I swallowed hard. I searched his face, looking for some hint that he wanted me to stay. “The Duke says I should. That it's for the best.” He thought for a moment, and for a brief second, I thought he was going to tell me to stay. But he didn't. “Then we should listen to the Duke. He's been right about everything.” His voice was flat and his expression unreadable. It was the Prince mask. “He's always been right about you. Everything you've done, he predicted. I should have listened to him in the first place.”

"Divorce won't be a quick process. The Duke won't be back anytime soon. We must be patient." Dorothy leaned in, her eyes gleaming. "Then let her enjoy her little kingdom for a while longer… and you, Vivi, use this chance. Get close to the Duke. Make him even more dependent on you." Vivian's smile turned predatory. "Exactly. I will stay glued to his side. I'll follow him to the battlefield if I have to. I will make him mine completely."

"You were tangled up with your best friend the whole time, and you're questioning me? And that wasn't a fight. I dumped you! I told you then, we were done." Vincent slipped an arm around me, looking entirely satisfied. "You heard her," he said. "Stay out of our way. Don't be an eyesore." Hendrick looked toward his parents again, searching for help. Neither of them responded. To them, a successor could be flawed, even foolish, but not someone who let himself be played so easily. Someone like that would only ruin everything. Cutting him off early was the safer choice. In the end, with Vincent by my side, I picked out a new wedding dress.

“They’ll use her against you.” Alaric held his ground. “Then help me make a plan.” “You’ve put me in an impossible position.” “Father—” “I wanted you to marry Bianca. You know that. She would have strengthened this pack, solidified your position, given you an heir worthy of the bloodline.” Silas’s voice dropped. “Instead, you found a human. And she’s your fated mate, which means I can’t even tell you to walk away.” He turned away again, staring at the fire.

“Lord, how forgetful of you. You caught those bunch after they tried to claim a part of your territory as theirs. Their parents just paid a big ransom for them just a month ago. They’re now free as doves.” “So they’re our friends.” Lucas smiled back. “Yes, Lord Duke. They are f*cking adorable friends that gave us free money.” “The bastards dared to venture deep into my territory without my permission and they’re doing it again.” The duke shook his head as the stupid bunch tried to flirt with the mysterious lady. His gaze sharpened further after seeing that a few were already getting too physical. “Lucas, what should I do?” “Greet them my liege?”

Zebian teased her, she nudged her arm in his elbow. “The Duke shall not belittle a commoner, it’s a rule embraced by your father,” She backfired him. He chuckled again. “Oh, so now the future duchess would teach her duke how to behave,” Zebian sneered, and both of them spun their head toward each other. Renai glared at him with a reasonable amount of audacity whereas he grinned with his heart in his eyes. “I repeat, I’m a commoner,” she gritted. Why had he always pretended to forget this fact? There was no way where she would hold high hopes. It would only get her a brutal downfall.

The fire that ate the rose scented paper left but only the one single torn paper with words written in a beautiful yet sorrowful cursive letters, ‘Forever, I will love you. The Duke then slumped down the plush couch, sitting down to watch the crackling fireplace and recalling the first time he had met the most beautiful woman in the world, the woman whose name was Elizabeth. In the past, the duke was not as smart nor firm as now. He was someone with a big greed but no courage. His brother would always fight for the seat as the next Duke and while his greed also want to become the Duke, he was not as strong as his older brother nor as smart as his second older brother. He was someone who the

"Ah, right. It's hard to tell the difference between identical twins after all." "Brother, I am a guy. Lianne and I have a very huge difference." "…" Leandro have lost his interest in conversing with his little brother when he had sight of the third Prince. He stands up along with Louie to greet his highness. "Welcome back to our residence, Prince Russel." "Hmm, is the Duke late? Where is he?" "The Duke, unfortunately, has caught fever and common cold. So I shall temporarily stand in the place of my father to discuss about the plans for your marriage with my dear sister, your highness."

Pinapahamak niya ako. "My daughter is engaged..." the duke started. "But I'm not." Napatampal ako sa noo dahil sa sinagot ni Cassius. What the hell? Why is he so sly like a fox? "It doesn't matter if you're not engaged. My daughter is engaged with the Crown Prince. You should know and understand that it's treason to covet someone's fiancée right?" the duke said firmly. Cassius chuckled and fixed his eyes on me. The way his eyes were on me, it felt uncomfortable because it feels like he knows what I'm thinking right now.

It was a miracle that the glass didn’t break. With onyx eyes and flared nostrils, the Duke then shouted, “I held office longer! That position should’ve been MINE! First, I can’t be a King. Then, I can’t even be SECOND to the King?! To hell with it! And that Blackfur had the gall to rub it in my face, saying that I was ‘never fit’ to hold office. Hmph.” He chuckled darkly and shook his head before he muttered in all cockiness, “So, I got his mate sterilized. I guess that makes us even now.” “Hm. Makes sense.” Sasha uttered in agreement as she digested what Greg did to the other Duke. Like him, she did not have a single shred of sympathy for the couple who fell victim to the Duke’s actions.
