Love me, Mr. Duke
Chapter 3.Falling in Love?

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

...~oOo0oOo~...

A middle-aged man was seen gulping down water, then he put his glass on the table, "Are you sure you want to speed up your marriage?" asked the young brown-haired man, his green eyes glaring at me seriously.

"I'm completely sure Dad. And most importantly, I'm not gonna take my word back from Carxen."

"Well, if it's been an agreement between the two of you. We just want the best for both of you. We'll be preparing for your wedding in a week."

I smiled faintly at Vounch's reply, "Thank you, Dad."

"Viellen's..." Eleanor called out to me with a soft tone of voice.

I looked at Eleanor who was sitting next to Vounch. Eleanor's blonde hair that breaks down to her back adds to the dignified woman's elegant look.

"We did ask you to marry Duke Callisto. I'm happy to hear you decided you wanted to get married," Eleanor took a pause in her speech, "Though I do, I don't want you to rush into a decision."

I gave Eleanor a smile, "Don't worry Mom. I really wanted to marry Carxen, and it wasn't because of anyone else's insistence. But because..." I took a pause while staring at my left wrist.

There was a double-digit red number written on my wrist, "It looks like I've fallen in love at first sight with Carxen." I turned to look at Eleanor and Vounch while smiling softly.

This time it was Martha's fork that fell to the floor. I immediately glanced at Martha who was looking at me stunned.

If the person was another man, they would still believe that I was in love at first sight. But if it was Carxen, there was no way they would believe it even if Carxen's face was so handsome. I don't even believe in myself saying nonsense that easily.

Carxen was a war hero of this era. As far as I have heard from Martha, the descendants of Callisto have always given birth to great knights, who stood at the forefront of the battle to finish off the enemies and traitors of the kingdom. And the ruthless man who can brandish the sword without pity and sin is Carxen Van De Callisto.

He was nicknamed the 'war hero' for bringing the head of the Tyrannical King of the Dracul kingdom before his people. And the most famous nickname among the nobles was 'Cold-blooded Duke' for beheading the queen of the kingdom of Dracul and throwing her before the nobles of this country as a warning if anyone dares to mess with her.

Instantly my fur sat me down to imagine it. I have no appetite.

" Dad, Mother. Can I go back to my room? To be honest, I felt a bit dizzy, "I said as I put the fork and knife on the plate.

"Of course, honey. Rest, today must have drained your energy" Eleanor said.

Martha looked at me worriedly, I gave her a small smile. Then stand up slowly and leave my chair. I walked out of the dining room.

'If not for the time limit given to me. I won't be betrothed to Carxen either.'

I stared at the number on my wrist. The original number is 107. Now it's 57. I sighed with anger while smiling softly.

'It really doesn't feel like my death is getting any closer. I would do anything to keep me alive. Even if it had to face Carxen though.'
