Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Everyone stared at her with a red face but there was no sign of embarrassment on her face.

She raised a brow at the shocked hazel who was still staring at her with an agape mouth opened wide enough to swallow a large egg at once.

"Now, if you do not want me to drag you to the prison for lying and slandering the name of duke and sullying it, get your filthy feet out of our room." Her voice was full of authority that forced others to bow their heads instinctively.

Hazel knew that if she would not leave the knights might drag her out to the prison. She gritted her teeth as she endured the insult.

Even when she was leaving, her head was held high. She could see the mocking and shocked faces of the maids who were whispering to each other while pointing at her and her eyes burnt with hatred.

She would take revenge for it. She promised she would.

Hannah, who was still sitting there with a fierce look in her eyes like a lioness marking her authority on her territory, turned to look at dazed Ethan.

Feeling her gaze, he turned to look at her too and gulped when the feirce in her eyes only increased.

"Everyone leave the room, this instant!" she roared, everyone shuddered and left the room instantly.

Their feet started to move out even before they could decipher her orders.

"You have a lot of explaining to do!" she said in a fierce voice as she stood up and took a step towards Ethan who gulped his saliva while staring at her.

"How could you be so naive to not understand her intentions towards  you? Even if you were using her to make me jealous, you should know when to stop!"

"......." so she knew that he was taking revenge on her! Ha!

"Now that she is not here. Tell me Ethan.. What is your decision? If it would have been only about me, I would have lived my life in uncertainty but now that my child is here.. I will not endure this." her voice was determined and resolute when she stared at him that he had an ominous feeling in his heart.

"That.. I did not understand what you were talking about!" he said with caution while he tried to read her thoughts when she chuckled with a mocking look on her face.

"Ha! Then let me explain to you.. You told me that you are only getting engaged to get the attention of his majesty. He would feel that his spy was gone to the enemy party.

And then you asked me to tell the truth to everyone in the party, but then.. You will never marry me. This engagement party was just a ruse." she said with a cold look on her face that did not show any kind of emotion.

"But now that the truth was already out, his majesty is on the run and our engagement had been canceled, where did I stand in your life Ethan?" Ethan had thought that when the question would be asked, she would be in tears or pleading with him but surprisingly she was calm and her voice did not have any hint of emotion.

It felt like she was only asking about the weather or the fitting of her dress!

It made him uneasy to think that she was that indifferent about this whole matter.

"If you want to spend your time with girls like Hazel and keep your intentions vague, then I am afraid I have to look for a place for myself to live and a job. I will leave you and find a man soon who will accept me with my child." he flinched at her cold and harsh words even when her voice was so soft and sweet.

He could feel goosebumps forming all over his body when he looked at her soulless eyes. It was completely different from a few days ago when she was crying and begging him.

"Is it so difficult to reply?" she asked with a tilt of her head when she blinked. "If so.. I will ease it for you.. I will let you meet your child once a week and you can visit him anytime if there is an emergency. And if you are thinking that i am doing all this so that you will support me. So there is no need. I did not want a single penny from you." she announced as she gave one last look to his dazed face and walked out of the room.

He only came back to his senses when he felt that the room was cold and empty. He looked around with shock as her words and their gravity started to sink in his mind.

He ran.. He ran hard out of the room but she was not in the hallway anymore.

"Damn! Since when has she been this faster?" He looked around and found maids standing on the corner.

"Where did the lady go?" he asked in a bit loud and panicked voice when the maid flinched.

"Did you not hear me?" he asked with a loud voice when the woman trembled but pointed at her left when he nodded and ran towards that direction.

He was sure that she had not left but went to her room since that path leads to the room area.

It gave him some assurance. She must be speaking in anger, she was not really going to leave him.

He walked with a bit of ease but his eyes widened when he reached her door.

It was already open and she and a maid were arranging her things.. Bag! She came back to her room not to subside her anger but to pack her things so that she could leave.

She was treating him on the tip of the gun point. She was not even giving him time to think about it. Ha!

"All of you, leave the room instantly.. We need to settle the scores!"
