Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"No! I don't! Who are you?"

"....." embarrassed! The man thought that Leo's eyes would widen and a shocked expression filled his face but he continued to stare at him with a cold and bored look especially after the question!

"If you are not interested in telling me, then I do not care since you are going to die anyway!" Leo had already taken out the sword from its scabbard and was now pointing at the man who blinked and then started laughing like maniacs!

"Such a proudful being! Now I know why William is so fond of you! Even when he knew the truth, he did not dare to hurt you!" There was no fear of death in his eyes but a certain kind of madness that turned Leo more alert.

His eyes turned sharper and his sword moved closer to the neck of the old man and a small wound formed on his neck but he did not even wince.

"Such warm blood! Do you not want to know why I am following you and how I know your father?" he raised a brow as arrogance filled his eyes!

He was sure that Leo would have so many questions and then he would take its benefit and manipulate him.

"No!"

"...." his teeth nearly broke by the strength he gritted after listening to the curt and bland reply of the man who was staring at him with bored eyes as if he was no more than a pest!

How dare he!!! But when he felt the pressure of the sword increasing he tried to control his anger! He could not die here after coming so far!

Even if he had to die, he would make sure that he would destroy them before doing so!

He held his anger and took a deep breath, but the pointed sword dug deeper when he did so.

"If you think that you can manipulate me with your words, then you are wrong! I have many people to interrogate later.

So, it would be better that I kill you and go to my wife who is waiting for me!" the words nearly choke him to death as he gnashed his teeth once again and his hands clenched into a fist!

"I must say that you are too arrogant. But all of my men had already committed suicide on the way. None of them is alive to give you a reply!

Even if any of them would have been alive due to the fear of death, your father would kill him before you will reach the palace!" Finally a smirk formed on his lips when Leo narrowed his eyes!

He was anxious that the boy would not listen to him! But now that he had caught his attention, he had already won the war!

Evan that ingrate! She had ignored him as if she never heard what he had said or seen him! Now he would teach her a lesson by hurting her precious family!!!

"Even so, I am going to kill you since you are the head! Once you are dead, there will be no more attacks!" with that he took his sword away from his neck and aimed at his abdomen but the old man took a step away!

"I never meant to kill any of you! If that would have been the case I would have not come empty handed!

I am here only for my daughter Evangeline!" the hands that were just an inch away halted and his eyes widened!

He was feeling that he had seen the man somewhere, but he could not point it where he had seen him!

He never connected the man to Evan, because her family was dead. But now that he had pointed it out. He was the man Leo had seen in the old portrait at her house!

A dark ray of light passed his eyes and his grip on the sword tightened so much that his knuckles turned white! All his blood froze when he realized that not only her father was not dead, he was the one who wanted to attack them.

A cold smirk formed on the face of man as he held the sword and moved it away from his direction!

Finally his frustration curbed off when he saw Leo's stunned look! If it was all because of William, if he had not sent his men to search for him, he would not have been running like a rat in a sorry state.

It was only right that his kids would pay for his crimes!

"So, you finally recognized me! Huh?" Leo's eyes flickered but he let him move the sword away! Though he was shocked, his emotions were still in control as his eyes gazed at the carriage where Evan was still sleeping.

For some reason he did not want her to know that her father was still alive. He could feel that the man was upto no good and he still did not know why he faked his own death!

"Why are you following us?" out of all the questions, he was not expecting that leo would ask him this!

But when did this young boy follow the script? He had already stopped expecting normal replies from him when the conversation had started.

It was already a wonder that he was not trying to kill him now.

"I want to take my daughter away! Your father had announced me dead and forced my daughter to live with him and now his men are hunting me so that I can not reach my daughter!

I have no choice but to send men to take her back! After all, she is the single family member I had! And I could not give her to William to save his family!"
