Love me, Mr. Duke
Chapter 29.Between Rewards and Time Limits

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

The man immediately got off his horse, and walked up to me.

"Why are you here?" that low, deep voice, the one I've longed for.

I bowed my head, the tears that had been welling up in my eyes now I could no longer bear.

"Where have you been?" I asked slowly, my voice hoarse and trembling.

My tears kept falling, I repeatedly rubbed my eyes hoping these tears stopped coming out, ".ukhh..hic..."

Carxen pulled my waist, then hugged my still trembling body.

"I'm here." he said slowly, trying to calm me down.

The cold breath felt over my head.

I hugged Carxen tightly while crying in his arms. He just kept wiping my hair gently. No words of comfort came out of his mouth. Even so his warm attitude was able to make me feel his sincerity.

Carxen could be heard sighing softly, I looked up to check on her item the next time she felt uncomfortable.

He was seen rubbing his jet black hair upwards in a huff, "Let's go home."

Then he took me and put me on his horse.

We returned to Callisto's residence on the same horse. It turns out it was afternoon.

Upon arriving at Callisto's residence, the servants and Alfonso welcomed us from outside the house. Alfonso and Ivone looked very happy, marked by smiles on their faces.

Carxen went down first then immediately carried me and walked into the house without caring for the gazes of the servants behind him who blushed shyly at us.

My face blushed when Carxen did that. He took me to his room and laid my body slowly on the bed.

"Lord Duke." said I hesitated, watching Carxen who was taking off his armor.

"Hm.." he said, who is now unbuttoning his shirt.

I spontaneously closed my eyes with a palm, "A-What are you doing there?"

"Why did you close your eyes?"

"Because you're undressing recklessly!"

"Huh, I'm your husband."

"Me-Infright. But still we are not fully husband and wife." I said slowly.

I looked at my elbow that was injured, the blood seemed to have dried up, and then I turned my gaze towards Carxen.

"I accidentally fell off a horse. I don't know why the horse suddenly lost control."

Carxen sighed furiously for the umpteenth time, then let go of my arm.

"Wait a minute."

He approached the bedside table and pulled the top drawer on the table.

I kept watching him, not wanting to let go of my eyes anywhere, "What are you looking for?" my many.

Carxen did not answer, a few moments later he took out the medicine box from the bottom of the drawer. He brought the medicine box in front of me, then put it next to me.

"I'll treat your wounds" he concluded.

Carxen cleaned my wounds with cotton and antiseptic, then he applied ointment on my wounds. Lastly, he glued the plaster carefully.

"Thank you" I said slowly as I glanced at Carxen who was putting the medicine box into the drawer.

Then Carxen walked up to me, "Now give me the reward."

He leaned his body towards me, his hands squeezing the edge of the mattress.

My heart was beating fast, I quickly turned my face away from embarrassment, "W-What do you want?..."

'What he wants. Maybe "it". Come to think of it, it's only natural that he asks for something like "it". I've made him wait too long.'

Carxen touched a strand of hair near my ear, then kissed it while looking me in the eye.

I flinched, my eyes locked, and I looked into her eyes, "Do you want me?"

Carxen brushed my hair behind my ears, "Yes, I want you."

'Did he really mean what he said.'

I immediately avoided his sight, "Umm... You better take a shower first..."

Carxen wakes up. She was seen rubbing her hair furiously, "Wait here, I'll be right back."

After saying that, he went straight to the bathroom.

I waited for him with a bad feeling. Even so my gaze cannot escape from my wrist.

Time keeps rolling, seconds keep changing. Compared to the nervous feeling of waiting for Carxen. I am more worried about my life.
