Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

His feet trembled with fear! That was not what he had thought of! He had thought that they all would be worried sick and cry. Beg from him to tell Evangeline the truth or at least not manipulate her further.

Everything was going just as he had planned then what went wrong!

How did the situation turn out that way??

It was because of him! This brat! When the family was breaking, he was the one who brought their confidence back and subdued Evan!

His eyes filled with the intent to kill! The desire to get rid of Leo was so much that if the knights would not have been there, he would have already pounced on him.

With his glaring eyes, he was taken to a room which only infuriated him further.

It was not the guest room. It was not a normal room let alone a luxurious one. It was a room given to the maids!

The room has a small bed with nothing else except a small wardrobe. It was a dark room with a shabby bedsheet and creaking door. He felt nauseous just by looking at it.

Due to the help given by the duchess, he had airways and lived a luxurious life. His house never lacked anything. From soft beds to good quality ingredients available for food. They have everything.

Even when he was on the run, he had sufficient wealth to stay in best inns and eat the best food.

"There must be a misunderstanding! It is not the room I am supposed to be in!

Do you not know who I am?" he demanded in a loud voice.

He had thought that they all knew that he was the father of their new duchess!

The maid gave him a cold glance but did not stay a word as she walked back and closed the door with a thud that shook violently.

He gritted his teeth. He couldn\'t handle that he had been looked down upon by such lowly maids!

Kicking hard on the bed which creaked and shook violently, he shouted badly but none of them came to look for him.

Just as he reached the door, he saw two tall and muscular knights who gave him a cold glance as if they would kill him if he would take a step out.

Just as he was thinking of a reason to leave the room, a maid came with a vicious smile on her face.

"I need to meet the duke! Tell him that it is an urgent matter and he would regret it if he would not meet me!" he hollered, as his teeth gritted so hard that it would break.

His body was shaking with anger but knights did not even respond to him as if they did not hear him.

"Are you deaf? Huh! I am telling you that the duke would regret it!" he shouted again when the miad reached closer to them.

The evil look in her eyes was filled with arrogance when she started chuckling, making the man pissed off to death.

"Why the hell are you laughing?" he tried to scare her by the look on his face but she just scoffed.

"Oh! Did you not realize yet? Young lord is dealing with the matter. His highness had given all the rights to the young lord.

He is the new duke of the Thawne family. So, if you are thinking of meeting the duke, you would only be escorted back to the man who would kill you since the lady is not there to protect you!

But if you want to die, why are you going that far? You can just rest in your room and enjoy the special meal that I have brought for you!" she pointed at the food in her hands and then stared at the knights.

The knights bowed their heads and then pushed the man back into the room.

Edward\'s back hit the ground roughly and he winced! He was not expecting such a rough treatment by them that he started to shout again but his pleas only met deaf ears and only silence was mocking him in reply.

"Stop shouting! We all are tired after the hard work of the whole day!

If a servant came and beat you then the knights would not be able to stop them.

You do not want to end up beaten red and blue. Do you?" she rolled her eyes as she placed the tray on the bed.

"If i would have been at your place, i would have taken my meal and slept. Who knows when I will get another chance to eat and sleep!" with a hidden meaning behind her words, she chuckled and then shook her head while Edward continued to glare at the girl!

"You lowly maid! What do you think of yourself. Huh?

Do you even know my position? I will tell everything to my daughter in the morning! Do not behave in a smug way just because I was sent here mistakenly or I will make sure that you will regret it your whole life!" he was sure that Evan would not let him stay here.

If Leo thinks that he would humiliate him and force him to leave, then he was so wrong! He would make sure to bow so much hatred in her heart for Leo that he would regret treating him this way!

His eyes glinted with an evil look but the maid only chuckled as if she had heard a joke.

"Only if you will see the sun the next morning. Do not dream much! First think about your safety and do not forget to enjoy your meal!"

On the other side of the palace, Evan tossed and turned on her bed with a glare on her face when she heard the door opening with a creak.

Just as she was about to lit the light, a pair of hands held her and brought her closer.

"Tsk! You are late!"
