Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Others looked at her instinctively and nodded when she called herself slim and told him that he was heavier than her. The girl was slim and enchanting.

When she held her head high and straightened her body further, her curvaceous body enchanted everyone. Her face and slim body would stand out in the crowd and everyone would be confused if she was a commoner or a noble even when she dressed up in that clothing. 

Only their boss could dare to call her obese and ugly! Evan looked at him with a smirk when she saw the admiring looking in the eyes of everyone. 

When Leo met her defiant face and her challenging eyes, his lips curled into a smile. The way she was trying to accentuate her figure by showing her figure after listening to his comments only showed that she cared of what he said or else she would have avoided him like others.

But when he noticed how other men were looking at her with gazess full of lust and mesmerization, his eyes turned cold.

"Do you need help in walking now?" She could see his dark face and did not want to suffer in his hands later, so she nodded.

'Let it go, kind and wise people like me did not pursue the matter pettily. I will let go of him for this time!' she nodded and took hasty steps towards him.

"Shall we go in?" she asked him and he finally nodded but did not initiate to walk in. his head slightly lowered and he looked at her with a strange ray in his eyes.

'Did he really think that she obese?' she pursued her lips when she saw him looking at her again.

"I am not obese, i just have extra sweets in the breakfast, i will be fine after walking and doing exercise for a bit." she retorted as she did not want to be called obese again but her words only bright his smile.

"Mmmm, then come and train with me today. I am sure it would be enough exercise to keep you in shape.'' The voice was low and seductive that put Evan in a trance for a few seconds.

His voice was so good to her ears and she could feel his hot breath on her body and that musky fragrance that she nodded without thinking twice and when she blinked and came back to her senses, he had already taken a few steps away from her.

She was a few steps away from him therefore she missed the smug smile on her face that had covered his face completely looking at her dazed eyes. For the past few days he was having doubts about him being handsome, but her reactions just now filled his chest with pride.

"Leo! Wait for me, I am coming too." she did not know anyone else here except him and her experience with nobles was not that good!

"........" all the knights looked at the pair with surprise. They were not invited to the tea party at the residence of the Duke family except a few higher knights as only the higher nobles were invited to the party.

So, they were stunned looking at the conversation between the couple. Was it really their boss? Since then their boss has been this kind and warmhearted that a girl was so close to him.

And since when had their master learnt to smile like that also to a woman. Had he gotten rid of his phobia of women? As they had never seen him closer to any woman. They looked at each other with widened eyes and gulped.

What else would they be able to see today. While the female knights who had always waited for their chance looked at the woman with jealousy.

While everyone else was thinking about it, Evan took hasty and bigger steps to match up to his steps.

They walked to a large office where there was a large study table filled with all kinds of documents and on the other side, there was a sofa with a coffee table in the middle of it. The whole room was a darker shade of brown colour with minimalist furniture.

Walking in, the man sat on the leather chair forgetting about her existence completely.

"....." what was she supposed to do when he was working!? She did not say a word while she walked in and started looking around when her gaze fell on the large window. The scenery out of the room was beautiful and she could see a few knights having their sword wielding there.

She was still standing there and looking around while he continued to work. They both were silent and busy in their own things yet there was tranquillity like a couple who did not need to talk all the time to show their presence to each other.

"Knock knock." Evan turned towards the door when she heard the knock on the door. There was a knight standing with a list of parchements in his hands.

"Come in." he walked in when Leo nodded his head and the knight bowed and came in with a red face that made Evan curious while Leo had a frown on his face.

"What is it?" he asked as he took the papers and then scanned them.

"Umm, my lord." The knight was not sure if he should talk about it as he looked at Evan with hesitating eyes that surprised the girl further.

"Oh, if you want then I can always leave the room." Evan was sure that the man was not speaking only because of her but hearing her words, the man panicked.

After all, the girl had come with their master and she would be their mistress later. He could not afford to offend her when he was just a small knight.

"There is nothing like that, my lady. I just bought a letter from the house of Grasitias.. Lady Olivia is coming to meet his highness."
