Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 248 – [Bonus ]

Evan blinked as she looked at the room. She was sure there was something missing. But due to the drinks, her mind had turned dull and she was not able to understand what was wrong in this situation.

"Since we can not go out, shall we sleep here?" he pointed at the sofa that was large enough for three to four persons to sit comfortably but to think that they would sleep here!

She shuddered at that thought! 

"Or we might play more?" he asked as he looked at the bottle and she nodded.

The option was better than sleeping together. All she had to do was to speak some truth. 

It would not be a big deal since they already knew everything about her.

She walked back and sat on the other side of the sofa and looked at him with her big animated eyes as if waiting for him to start the game again.

He held the bottle and spun it but before it could stop, she held it. 

"Since we are the only two left, then why don't we ask each other a question alternatively rather than spinning the bottle.'' She was sure that she was unlucky. If she was dependent on the bottle, that she was the only one who was going to lose all this time.

"Alright!" he nodded since they had all night, he was not worried that he would not get enough chances.

"Then, what do you want to ask, my lord?" she blinked her eyes and picked up the glass and took a sip again to wet her parched throat.

"If you would not have been brought here, then would you have married Martin?" although his voice was cold and his face was still indifferent, his eyes were staring at her as if he was trying to look into her soul.

She blinked and then sighed, "no! My father had offered them but his mother denied a long ago. She think that we are not worth their family since they are rich and have a strong image in the town." she replied as she took one more sip as if she was trying to drown her sorrows in the drink.

The smile that was forming on his face turned stiff. His face turned darker as he looked at the girl who was looking heart broken. 

But why did his father not told her that she had enough treasure! It would have been enough to buy the whole town, let alone getting her married to the person who only earn a few gold coins.

Could it be that even her family now know about the treasure and it was there since centuries by the family who used to live there before them.

"Is it my turn now?" she raised her head and looked at him with anticipatoin and he raised a brow.

He knew that there was something she wanted to ask him badly, it made him curious as what she waned to know.

Could it be that she was finally interested in knowing whom he liked.

Bubbles of anticipation, started to fill his insides, yet he kept his face straight,

"Yes, it is my turn to give answers. What do you want to ask?" his voice was still calm and soft yet his eyes were looking at her curiously.

"I want to know what have you thought about us? It have been more than a month since i have arrived here.

The plan of being a wicked woman had been failed a long ago and you have not made any plan after that.

How will you able to convince the duke in a week?" his eyes hardened and his face turned cold when he heard her.

He have not thought of convincing his father to break the marriage at all. Then why would he make a plan.

"Punishment!" 

"Pardon!" Evan looked confused when she heard him. What was he asking about!

He tilted his head and looked straight into her eyes, his eyes had turned dark and sinister, she felt a chill run down his spine when she heard him,

"Since i do not have any answer of your question, i am ready for the punishment!" he repeated each world slowly.

Why did she felt like he was scarier when he was the one asking for punishment.

"That.. i did not know what punishment, shall i give to the lord!" she muttered with an embarrassed smile.

She would have asked him to escort her out but he had already said that he could not ruin the door and they could not just jump out of the window.

"Then i would have a glass of drink as the punishment!" he offered and picked up the glass and she frowned.

"What kind of punishment is that? I would rather have you give me a horse or if you want punishment, i would prefer you to train me how to fight with sword!" she frowned as she saw him finishing the glass in a single gulp.

"I did not know that you have interest in sword fighting!" not even once had he seen or thought that she would like sword fighting.

"Since i live alone. There is nothing wrong in learning a few tricks!" she shrugged her shoulders. She could not tell him that she was just fascinated with all that weaponry.

"You know that only nobles or knights were allowed to have a sword!" he raised a brow and she blinked! 

He shook his head. She knew so much about painting, music dance or such as if she had gained training from the best academy of the empire yet she did not know such a basic thing!?

"I can still use knife in a state of emergency if i knew how to do so!" she retorted and he chuckled and then nodded his head and dropped the glass on the table.

"Fine! Then my punishment is, i will teach you how to use dagger every morning!"
