Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"It is our honor to meet the lady again, and congratulations on your marriage, my lady!" Evan smiled as she noticed the three ladies again!

They were the ones who had helped her before too and sucked her dry too! Why had they hired someone who charges gold per hour!

"Everything is prepared well, my lady! Would you like to take a bath first before getting ready!" the bath that would cost you a lot of gold! Words rang in her mind and she wanted to deny but looking at her face in the mirror, she nodded with a sigh!

"Let me escort you then!" the girls took her hands and dragged her into the wash area. As the dress was unzipped and fell on the floor, she entered the pool.

One of the maids took her hands while the other worked on her hair, and one of them took care of her back! They massaged her and cleaned her thoroughly. Even when she came out, her eyes were still kept closed as they readied her for the party. For a moment she felt that she would be asleep again with their soft touches and warm breeze but then she shook her head!

What kind of a sloth would she be to sleep for her own bachelorette party!

"My lady, we have done our best. But if you want to change anything, do guide us!" she opened her eyes listening to their voice and stared at the girl who was in the mirror!

She was sure it was not her! Though they charge a lot, they have the art of changing the witch to an angel!

"No! That is perfect!" they all nodded their heads with a bright smile as Evan stood up and stared at the lavender dress in the mirror once more before nodding to them!

"Thank you for your hard work!" a proud smile formed on the faces of the woman as they nodded their heads.

"It is our honor, my lady! Then we will see you tomorrow!" ``Tomorrow!"

"Ah! Yes, thank you!" she should have known that they were going to get her ready for her marriage too!

When she walked out towards the back garden, whispers and laughter could be heard from afar. Now that she remembered it was only her third event that she had attended and still did not have enough experience to attend the social gatherings.

Not to forget that she did not have friends in high society either. Her eyes had already started to look for Eve or Eli when she noticed that Eli was talking to a group of men with serious expressions on her face.

While Eve was laughing merrily with three girls. They both seem to be perfect and busy. Among the two Evan decided to approach Eve and took steps towards her but before she could take a few steps away, a group of girls came towards her.

"Congratulations on your marriage, my lady! The news was rather sudden but we are happy for the couple!" The girls held her dress and gave Evan a formal bow which she returned in the same form.

"If you do not mind, shall we sit and have tea together!" This would be a good chance to make acquaintances in the society. With that thought, Evan smiled brightly as she followed the girl to the nearest table!

Soon the maids brought an array of dishes and tea was served.

"I am so excited for the marriage tomorrow, my lady! I am sure this will be the best marriage ceremony of the decade!" Evan could only nod with a smile as she faced the over excitement of the brunette who was dreaming as if it was her own marriage!

"Yes, even I am waiting to see the decorations and the dress of my lady! You would look beautiful in white!"

"Thank you!"

"After all, for someone who had worn coarse clothes all her life, it would be a dream to get married in a fancy palace with the most luxurious dress!"

Evan, who had just picked up the cup to take a swig of the tea, raised her brow as she looked at the last girl with dark hair who had the same smile as others on her face, yet her words were cold and brutal!

"Hmm, when i used to earn i did not have enough money to buy expensive clothes like today. But I used to be happy since I paid for them, not my family!

I wonder if you ever felt that feeling!" since noble ladies did not work! Not because they could not, but they never thought of working since they have everything readily available in their hands!

"Why would I care about something so menial when my family is ready to spend an entire fortune on me! After all, I am their daughter!" and here she thought that she could make friends!

She wondered if they would ever look at her as who she was instead of how much bank balance did she hold!

She stared at the girl again whose dress was no lesser than hers and her jewels! It was an all rare one that was even out shining her and a smirk formed on her lips!

"If i am not wrong, this dress is one of the finest silk and the embroidery is done with threads of gold with real rubies engraved in it?

The dress is too expensive and fancy. It is beautiful that it could blind people in its shine! It surely complements your bright face and the red tint in your cheeks!" gloated with the praise the girl nodded her head in affirmation.

"Of course, this is the best dress of the empire! A single piece of it costs a fortune, that is why I said, you must have missed all this!

But do not worry, the duke would be kind enough to sympathize with you and buy these kinds of clothes often so that you do not feel humiliated among the other girls!

Do not worry too much. After all, slowly we will try to forget your origins too!" With a smug smile on her face, the girl acted as if she was a kind person who did not want to differentiate others from their past.

But the ridicule in her eyes was apparent when a few of them turned to look towards them and whispered in each other's ears.

They all had thought that Evan would be embarrassed and Thawyne sisters would come for the rescue for the damsel in distress but were surprised to hear a chuckle and her bright eyes.

She placed the cup back with a confident look while her eyes filled with pity as if she felt bad for the girl who had a furious look on her face.

"Oh, you do not need to worry about me but about yourself. I am already worried about where you will live once your father faces bankruptcy!"
