Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"I would like to go to the royal palace and slap the crown prince hard on his cheek so that he would remember all his lifetime a woman had beaten her!"

Eli even clenched her fingers into a fist and punched the table which shook and the glasses trembled a bit under the force but it was not enough for them to fell down,

"..." 

"Wine really has power this time. Even turning our gentle Eli into a violent girl!" Eve chuckled as she shook her head. 

Her words finally ended the awkward silence and everyone came back to their senses after staying lost for a while.

"Eli, if you want, I can do that on your behalf!" offered Leo with a worried face, as he looked at her with his soulful eyes deep enough to fill with thousands of ways to beat Andrew.

Eli tilted her head and looked at Leo. but instead of feeling warm and grateful, she snorted and looked at him with ridicule!

"Did I ask for your help? Why do you always try to be the knight in shining armor?"

"Yes! They think that we can not do anything without them!" Eve nodded and Leo frowned.

"What about you, Evangeline? Don't you think that men try to rule us?" they asked as the girl had not said a word even when the war had already begun.

Evan, who was still thinking how much Eli must be heard to have only a wish that was to beat Andrew, was slow to take up their argument and only raised her head when both of them looked at her fiercely.

"Yes! Tell them Evangeline, do you think that I want to rule you?" even he asked in a bit of annoyance. He was only trying to help! Why were they all blaming him suddenly?

"..." was he really asking her that! She blinked as even her fingers would be less when he had commanded her to be a wicked girl, to win the contest and do all his biddings.

"Man is commanding!" she replied as she nodded her head, bringing a frown on the face of Leo and a smirk on the face of the girl, but she added, "but they did not want to rule us. Rather they are dependent on us for everything. 

That was why they needed us every time and commanded us since they did not know how to request it!" If Leo would have been cruel enough to deny his father the marriage, then he would not have ordered her all this time. 

So, he commands her because he needs her! Leo needed her, for a second even she was stunned with the deduction she had made in her mind that she failed to notice the change in his expressions.

His gaze depend of his face and his eyes flickered with the storm brewing in!

  How did he fail to realized that he needed her when it was so clear! And why was the girl not giving him a reply if she knew that he needed her!?

  It was so frustrating!

"Anyways! Let's see who is next!" Eli shook her head as she did ot want to think much about it. Since there was no man in her life, and she was not thinking of bringing another any time soon.

The bottle spun again and this time it stopped in front of Leo without wasting much of their time in increasing their anticipation!

"Wow! You are saved again!" mumbled Eli as she looked at Eve who chuckled,

"Why? I was the one who got the first question, did you forget that sister?" Eve covered her face with a gasp in an over dramatic manner and Eli rolled her eyes.

"Are you going to ask me any question or shall i call it a night?" Leo took the last sip from his glass and then turned to look at his sisters who were having a strange conversation.

"If you are so desperate! Tell me…" Eli turned her head to look at Leo and then at Evan who was looking like an innocent sheep brought by the butcher and was getting fed to grow strong so that it could be cut later.

"Have you already fallen in love?" she had noticed how he sees her! It was the same way Andrew used to look at her, but then his love was nothing but a lie.

If Leo was having second thoughts, then he should deny and cut it off but if he was serious and wanted to marry the girl then he should confess to her.

She was giving him a chance, it depends on him if he wanted to take it or not.

The light falling on the face of Leo was giving his face a glowing effect. Red wine had turned his eyes a bit redder, he looked at Evan who blinked.

Her heart skipped a beat when he saw a gentle smile forming on his lips when their eyes met and he nodded.

"Yes! I think I am already in love!" his voice was huskier due to the alcohol and his eyes were looking more intense.

Even after replying, he did not take his gaze away from her as if waiting for her reply. 

'....." could it be a confession? Her heart started running like crazy when the thought crossed her mind.

No! It could not be! She shook her head at her foolish thought and lowered her head again creating a frown on the man who felt he was being ignored. It was his first time asking a girl yet she did not even reply!!!!

"With whom? Give a full answer or you will have to bear a punishment!" pressed Eli as she looked at the couple who were not only dense but foolish too!

The veins of his head could be seen popping as he replied, 

"To a pig who knew nothing but to eat!"

"At least it is not a man as your aide thinks!"
