The next day I woke up, I am now the fiance of the Demon Duke in the Kingdom of Franche-Comte, a kingdom that believes in religion, however, it has a Demon Lord living among its people, Duke of Dubois Castle, or known as Lemon. He holds my hand tight and trails kisses to my pulse, ever since I have known that this man is a Demon who saved my life with the contract of fulfilling his desire, he frequents my room almost every night. “It is not money, and not my title as the countess, also you said that it is not my soul, what is it that you desire Duke?” he paused and those jewel red eyes looked at me intently, he climbed onto my bed and even closed the distance between us.

After all, he was indeed a wealthy and very eligible bachelor. The duke’s son, Alexander, was a complete mystery to me. Although I hadn’t met him in the last year, I already had an inexplicable fear of him. Rumour had it that he was an incredibly intimidating man, who despised the presence of maids in his quarters. His floor was strictly off-limits to us, except on special occasions like the one we were to prepare for. But getting maids to stay on his floor or accept to return again seemed difficult.

I said, and raised my glass. “And may the whiskey flow when the grace don’t,” Duke said, clinking my glass. I took a sip and allowed myself a moment of peace and pleasure before digging back in with Duke. “Let me ask you a question,” I said. Duke nodded. “Fire away.” “In all the time I’ve been here, you never thought to mention that you knew Cutter?” “You never asked,” Duke said plainly. “We’ve had a hundred conversations about the man, and you never once brought up a story from your past, or said, “Ya know, the thing about Cutter is…” You never said a word. You’d just tell me some old story about a Greek fisherman, or quote Beckett.”

Duke Conrad answered whilst about to kiss the back of her hand. Like lightning, Lianne pulled her hand away. “Have you forgotten who is the king? Don’t even think that you still want to claim the bargain you had with Garlow?!” she pointed out. “Well, the better it is, my princess!” he exclaimed which confused Lianne. She wanted to leave as soon as possible but with how the Duke didn’t show any worry, it made her want to investigate some more. “What do you mean?” she asked.

The Duke asked, annoyed. The men felt awkward, looking down. "He wanted to tell you that if you don't give him a grandchild, he'll keep disturbing your territory and run havoc." "Ugh... That old man." The Duke groaned, catching up with what the men meant. He massaged his temples, grabbed his phone, and dialed a number. As soon as the call was answered, he yelled at the man on the other line. "Pops! What the hell?! I almost killed your men!" The Duke's demeanor changed from fierce to unexpectedly vulnerable, and his own men chuckled secretly at witnessing this rare moment.

The famous Duchess of Kobach left without a trace the party and the poor hearts of the ones that had the fortune to steal a look at her in the tournament. But they also knew that the Duke was so infatuated with her that it would mean their death if they stared for a second in her direction. So they were not that surprised to hear that the couple was not going to participate in the festivities. The following day, after the final combat, the Duke took his wife to his mansion in his Dukedom without asking for permission from the King or Master Jin. He took the liberty to open one of the portals and the travel that was meant for several days, was done in a few seconds.

“I’m sorry but I really have no idea where they’re headed. I did agree to be their distraction to save them time, but they didn’t tell me anything other than that.” The duke sighed and rubs his face. He leaned on his chair before looking back at her. “Forget it.” He waves his hands in the air to dismiss her out but she was still sitting down and looking at him. “Is there more you need to tell me?” “Have I ever been tutored before?” This got the duke silent, as he thought about his answer. “No. You’ve never had prior engagement because you were always so against it.” Would that just mean Evelyn was ignorant?

said a well-dressed man Eleanor had never seen before, “your uncle’s will - “ “DUKE!” John shot back, standing nose to nose with the man. “My father and uncle are dead.

"Be careful what you say, youngster. The only reason you're breathing right now is that my daughter appears to care about you a little, but that doesn't mean I won't let you vent yourself however you want." "And a business negotiation? I assumed it was something significant, but it appears that I was mistaken. Now, whatever your name is, get lost." “Wait.” When I saw him rise up, I instantly tried to stop him, but he disregarded me. Duke Kraus pushed open the door, preparing to depart. "What a shame! I was planning to save this tragic family. Tch, tch. The empire promises to have only three dukes in the future." I muttered on purpose.
