Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"I am warning you, if you do not drink wine now, I will shout and collect the whole family. Then you have to explain all this to each one of them. And at that time, not only wine but food would be served for inspection too."

  Aurora's eyes enlarged with her dominant behavior and continuous questions.

She had never thought that Evan could stand on her ground so stubbornly.  But she was not among those who gave up so easily. She hid the evil glint in her eyes by the tears in her eyes as she bowed her hands and wiped her eyes.

"Leo, just look at her. Just to keep us away, she was ready to wake up everyone in the middle of the night. Do you know how much your aunt will be furious by her impudent behavior? Ask her to leave please." she even shook her head as if she was really disappointed. She seemed to be worried about her aunt and Evan both the way she presented her words.

"You!" Evan wanted to retort but before she could speak even a word the man who had closed his eyes all this time and pinching the space between his eyebrows, snapped his eyes open.

He looked at both girls that were creating nuisance with rage, especially Evan. he had made such a good plan to extract truth from Aurora, yet she ruined it completely. 

Evan fumed terribly when she found Leo was glaring at her. Here she was putting all her efforts in saving him, yet he did not trust her!

But before she could open her mouth, Leo craned his neck towards Aurora and asked in a cold voice,

"Drink it and finish off the matter." It looked like he was trying to finish the matter and give Aurora a chance to prove her innocence, but in reality he was supporting the stubbornness of Evan.

"Even you do not trust me, my lord." Aurora shook her head and wiped her eyes again as if deeply hurt. But then she clenched her hands and looked at him with a determined face. 

"Fine, if that is what you want to trust me, i am ready to even pass this test for you." her meek voice had resoluteness. She looked like she would even suffer any grievances just to be with him. 

Her love was pouring over every other emotion that Evan felt nauseated again at her overly intimate way of looking at Leo.

But what surprised her more, that she was against drinking wine in the start, then how did she agree easily when Leo asked her to drink. After all, the contents of the wine did not change, so why had she taken the glass that Evan had personally poured for her!!

Evan's eyes widened when she realized the fact! There was nothing in the bottle of wine! Only the glass in the hands of Leo was tempered! But it was too late.

Aurora had snatched the glass of wine from Evan and drank a few sips from it yet her eyes were clear and she was standing there confidently. Her expressions did not change at all. 

She raised a brow and smirked at Evan whose face had lost all her colors. Even if Evan had understood her trick, it was too late, "so, what do you have to say now? Now do not tell me that you will ask me to drink Leo glass. 

Your next excuse could only be that I did not mix anything in the wine but tempered his glass. So that when he would swirl wine, the drink would be mixed too." her voice was filled with disdain that Evan trembled.

Even if she would tell the truth, no one would believe her. Since Aurora had said it before, it would only look that she was trying to frame her by making excuses that she even repeated her mockery as a new allegation.

Evan gnashed her teeth at her folly. She should not have poured another glass but would have asked her to drink from the same glass from the start. Now she has lost her chance.

"Since you have gotten your investigation done, leave the room now." demanded Aurora in a righteous tone but Evan just looked back at her with an icy cold gaze that stunned Aurora. 

Even clenched her hands and looked at the glass on the table that had been swirled so many times. Left with no choice, she collected all her courage and took the glass in her hands with determination. 

"I will show you that this wine has been tampered with. A strong aphrodisiac had been mixed in it and soup." with that she drank the wine in one shot.

"Crashhh"

The glass fell from her hands with the sound of tinkle and its shards fell all over the carpet. Her expressions changed in a minute. 

Her face turned fiery red in color and its eyes were filled with lust. Her whole face that was sharp and glaring turned so seductive while her senses were dull. She staggered at her place and was not able to maintain her composure at all.

"Hiccup" she moved her gaze away from Aurora who was standing there with a stunned face. Her face had turned pale and she was at a loss for words. 

Her plan was flawless. She had acted like she was afraid of drinking wine only to drink it easily in the end to show that she was innocent from the start. Then Evan would be accused for framing her but Who would have know that the dumb girl would drink all the wine to expose her!!? She gnashed her teeth in annoyance, tonight she was going to have the child of the Thawyne family and announced as the new duchess.

But now she was standing there like a clown!

Evan took slow steps towards Leo with stumbling in between.

"See, i told you, i was right.. Hiccup, but you have never believed in me. hmmm"
