Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"What is Evangeline doing now?" The men stared at each other when the old man asked the question and gulped but his glaring eyes forced them to speak.

They nudged their heads and took a step forward and spoke in a polite tone, "that.. Lord Thawyne is kissing the girl, master!"

The dagger in his hands fell on the ground with a clink as he stepped over the dead body of a young boy with a wooden sword in his hands.

His clothes were stained with blood but he did not care about it even a bit!

"What did you say? She is still kissing him even after giving so many warnings?" they all took a step back with fear when the man started laughing like maniacs!

"Hahahahah! So the shine of gold and luxurious places have changed you so much that you don't even care if your father is getting hunted by the one you are sleeping with!

How ingrained! I have raised you like my own child and now..! You are returning to me your ignorance and showing me your back!

Very well! Then do not blame me for things I am going to do! There is no way that I will let all of you live in happiness when I am suffering here! Hahahaha!" He sat and stabbed the dead kid again whose eyes were staring at the distance that the men exchanged glances but did nothing to stop him.

"Master the forces of the duke are looking for us everywhere! We will not be able to hide for long!

Why don't we just accept more money and live in the neighboring empire!"

"thwack!" Before the man could speak another word a slap landed on his face and the old man finally took off the cloak from his face!

"So you want me to live like a runaway dog while they would have their happily ever after! Huh?

Am i the one who is paying you or duke Thawyne?" the man pursued his lips and others bowed their heads too as his eyes swept past everyone!

"Go and find where they are going next! I would change the clothes and talk to her again! Even i want to see her limit of shamelessness!" Everyone nodded as the man turned and left in a tent.

They all distributed to look for Evan and leo.

On the other side,

How much time had passed when Leo finally let her go..

"Cough cough! You.. you will kill me one day with these deep.. Cough!" she patted her chest as she felt there was no oxygen left in her body.

The hooligan had kissed her in the middle of the fair that also for so long that she was about to faint.

Just as the words left her mouth she heard the sound of giggles and looked around to see a bunch of crowd had been collected around them.

It has both young men and women. While men were looking at the brazenly, the girls were stealing glances and giggling with red faces while bowing their heads low!

"........" doomed! She was done for! Had she kissed in front of them! But she did not see a single person or did not hear a single voice before!

As if struck by lightning! Her soul started to leave her body when Leo reached behind her and held her waist to give her support.

But she only turned and glared at him!

"Hooligan! You are a shameless hooligan!" He raised a brow as he remembered she was the one to part her lips to invite him and now she is throwing all the blame on him!

He bent and took her in his arms and started walking away!

"Hey, put me down! I can walk by myself! What are you doing?" more giggles and pearls of laughter could be heard from behind and Even realized that she could not win this man so instead of shouting to let go, she leaned in further to hide her face!

If no one saw her then no one would know who it was!

"Why, didn't you say that I am a shameless hooligan! Then why do I care if others are watching or not!" shrugging his shoulders he continued walking but his eyes were twinkling with humor while she just took a deep breath to keep her annoyance in control as she felt warm in her heart too!

"Ouch!" he lowered his head to stare at the girl who had not met him again without any rhyme or reason but she just scoffed and looked away!

Placing her on a blanket under the wisteria tree, he sat beside her and looked at the sky,

"I never knew you enjoy biting too much!" his hands roamed over the tooth mark formed on his neck again!

"It is your punishment for not listening to me! Hmph!" she crossed her hands in front of her chest and refused to look away when he stared at her but instead of anger or glare, his eyes were filled with love and such intensity that she had a hard time looking into it!

"What.. why are you looking at me like this?" she tried to look away but he cupped her cheeks and raised her head to look into her eyes,

"Evangeline! I love you!" What is with this man! Why was he confessing his love for her to everything she tried to argue! If it continued how would she be angry at him!

"Evan.." he paused as he felt the presence of another person behind them while he was sure that he had chosen the most secluded place! "Wait here, I will bring something to drink for you!" with that he stood up and ran towards left without waiting for her reply..

"I do not need anything.. And moreover you are running on the wrong side!!!!!!!!!!" she shook her head as she realized he had already gone far away and sighed!

Leo held the cloak of the man who was trying to run away and pulled him towards the ground. The men winced as he fell on the ground with a thud and without wasting another second, Leo took off the cloak over his head.

"Why were you following us. Huh? Are you not afraid of losing your life? Who had sent you?" taking out his sword and pointing it at the neck of the man with a scar on his face, Leo asked in a cold voice but the man only chuckled as if he had heard a joke!

"I thought that the young lord of the Thawyne family was very cunning! But look at you!

In your impulse you ran behind me and left the girl alone. Are you not afraid that when you are here, others will attack her and take her away from you?" he was sure that the man would be worried sick and run back to save the girl and then he would run away while the girl would already be gone!

But to his surprise, the man smirked and spoke in a cold voice, "no! I am not worried about the girl at all!"
