...~Love Me My Lord Duke~...

...~oOo0oOo~...

The morning arrived. As soon as I woke up I saw Ivone cleaning up. As usual Ivone will wake up first and clean up my room.

I stared at Ivone's back while rubbing my eyes, Ivone's short hair tied up so as not to be broken. I sat my ass and leaned my body on the head of the bed.

"Ivone.." call me in a hoarse voice.

Ivone who was still sweeping immediately turned around, "Mrs, you're awake apparently," he said warmly.

Ivone handed a bucket of face wash water to my hand, "Every night, did Master Duke come here?" ask me carefully, to Ivone who is standing next to me.

Ivone looked at me in confusion he slightly tilted his head, "No Madam. Is Master Duke coming?"

"Yes, last night"

'Looking at Ivone's response, it's not like he knew that Carxen came here last night.'

That means Ivone was asleep when Carxen came here. If Carxen knew that the one sleeping in my place was Ivone, he would definitely not stay silent. In other words, Carxen came to my room just to check my room.

"...him!"

"Mrs!" call Ivone.

"ah! Yea?" I turned to Ivone.

"So in the hallway Mr. Alfonso told me that Mr. Duke wanted to have breakfast with Madam."

'Ap-What!? Carxen wants to have breakfast with me? What is this bad sign? It is still morning.'

I watched Ivone move the bucket over the table, "Ivone, where did the sun come up this morning?"

"Yes...?" Ivone looks confused.

"Still from the east Madam," Ivone replied with a plain look.

Carxen, the man touted as a cold-blooded man, what does he want? After refusing my request to have dinner together. Now he wants me to have breakfast with him. It's totally unpredictable.

Then---

I held tightly to the doorknob of the dining room, "Whoever, I felt a little upset.." I sighed softly.

It's like a piece that has been thrown away and then collected back. Even so I still have to meet him today.

"Viellen Von Callisto."

A low, deep voice came from behind me. A cold aura instantly enveloped my back. I gulped with a huff while continuing to look at the door. The fluffy fur on my nape seemed to be standing.

'It turns out he also came late.'

"What are you doing there?" carxen.

A cold big hand suddenly reached for my hand that was still holding the doorknob.

"Please don't be like this, I want to go inside" I said uncomfortably.

Carxen squeezed my hand lightly like the time at our wedding.

"Put your hands away" I said.

Carxen pressed his body towards me, my body jolted, giving a rejection reaction as he did that. I haven't spoken up yet, he immediately pulled the doorknob.

"Come in, my Duchess," whispered Carxen in my ear.

My heart is beating fast, my ears are hot.

Carxen walked in through the door, while I was still standing in front of the door.

I immediately caught up with Carxen and sat down on the chair facing straight towards him. He occupied the seat where the family leader was supposed to sit.

During our meal, only the sound of a butcher knife and fork could be heard noisily touching the plate. Several times I glanced at Carxen silently. He focused on paying attention to the medium steak meat served on his plate.

It felt awkward and stifling, it was my first time eating with Carxen. I wondered how she could be that calm, when I felt otherwise. I want to ask you about last night.
