Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Hey you, wake up!" Edward, turned to the other side and hid his face in the blanket to get rid of the noises.

The place was so dark that it did not have any source of light. He had spent most of his night cleaning this place without any resources.

He had cleaned a sufficient part to sleep as he knew that he could not win against a strong muscular boy at this age.

But it did not mean that he had accepted his fate. All night, he had made plans on how he would complain to Evan.

He had to make sure that he look pitiful enough and then he would be able to take revenge of tonight.

Even last time, through the help of Olivia he was able to stop her marriage. And when she was at her lowest point, he wrote a letter to her and told the truth about how his real father was trying to kill him so that he would not be able to tell her the truth.

He had only told her truth now because he was afraid that she would know somehow and that was the very reason that he was forcing her marriage with leo.

He did not love her, he only cared about his fake son and his other daughters. For him, Evan was nothing but a stepping stone they want to hold for their success.

Edward had thought that the girl would have doubts but who would have thought that she would be rigid enough to abandon them for forever!

A smirk formed on his face as he remembered how she had insulted her own family to take his side!

Why wouldn't she? After all, he had spent his life nurturing her that way! To make her foolish and dependent on him for taking decisions!

He chuckled and continued to make plans all night on how he would spite her further and make sure that the distance between her family and her continued to grow.

He did not realize when he slept after thinking so much and now he did not want to wake up.

"Leave me! What do you want?" he shouted as he covered his ears.

It was already hard to sleep on the floor yet they were disturbing him!

Once he would wake up, he would make sure that they would be fired before noon.

"Wake up, you old man, lady Evan is waiting for you for breakfast!

If you did not wake up in the next ten seconds, I am going to tell her that you did not want to meet her!" Though the voice was cold, it was clear enough to ring in the ears of Edward like a warning alarm.

All the sleep in his eyes faded as he was waiting for this moment since eternity though it had only been a night.

A look of arrogance filled his eyes.

"See, the moment she woke up, she called for me! She loves me the most.

Now I will tell her how rude you were last night and make sure that you will be thrown out of the palace.

If only you had listened to me! And you?" he frowned when he did not find the young boy on the bed anymore.

Noticing his confused gaze, the knights whom he was threatening chuckled,

"Not everyone is lazy like you. The boy has gone to work since dawn!

Now, are you going to meet the lady or do you want me to deny her?" he asked in a cold voice, completely unperturbed by the threat of the old man who thought that he was the duke.

Edward gritted teeth when he noticed that the men had still not learnt their lesson. It was fine, he would show them!

They would be the example and then everyone would know who he was!

Last night Leo was too insulting towards him that was why they were treating him like this.

But his trump card would help her! Evan would give him a new room!

With that thought, he calmed his anger. He could not pick up a fight since he had to behave pitifully!

"No! How could that be! Of course, I will go and meet my daughter! She must be worried sick about me!" He stood up abruptly.

Afraid that they have knowingly taken so much time in waking him up by not telling Evan was calling him!

They must be trying to find a way so that he would not be able to meet his daughter!

"Tsk! We did not know if she was sick because of worry. But I am sure that she would be sick with the stench!

Old man, have you been wriggling in mud all night! I can't stand you for long. Hurry up!" he waved hands in front of his nose while his face turned nauseous!

He looked away afraid that he would vomit right there. Edward frowned but when he looked down he was a mess.

His body was reeking with the smell of rotten food. Even his hair has pieces of rotten carrot and other vegetables in it!

But how! He was sure that he had cleared the area before sleeping!

He gritted his teeth! This must be the doing of that young boy! He would teach him a lesson that the boy would never forget!

"Excuse me! But I want to wash and need fresh clothes to wear before going to meet my daughter!" more than that he did not want others to look at him in this condition and make fun of him later.

He wanted to look regal just like duke! He would not let this incident be a reason to look down on him.

For that he was ready to threaten the knights again when they exchanged glances with each other but before he could say anything to persuade them, they nodded.

"Fine! Wait for us here. We will bring you clothes and prepare for your bath!"
