The Duke'S Only Beloved Fiance
Chapter 9 Town Square

Clara was silent listening to the Duke's sudden words, she tried to process the words spoken by the Duke so that he did not misunderstand the Duke's intentions. But because Clara felt the Duke's words were unclear, she decided to ask.

"Duke, the words you said just now can you repeat them again?"

"I feel to me that I seemed to have just misheard that remark" Clara said with a stiff smile and then replied with a soft headband by the Duke

"You didn't hear it wrong because I did ask that,"

"So, what's your answer? I won't force you to answer either" the Duke said with a serious look at Clara until Clara could no longer ask if the duke was joking or was serious about himself in speaking just now

Clara then fell silent and thought back about what happened like what she should do next about the question the Duke had just asked her.

"May I know what it is until you ask me if I have the time or not?" clara asked with a serious look trying to understand what the Duke wanted to do to invite him

The Duke then fell silent because he had not made a reason why to ask if the girl had time or not that day.

"I was just thinking of taking you for a walk because I felt I still owed you a favor" the Duke said with a serious look

Clara who listened to this then thought for a while and nodded in agreement because she felt Duke was indeed that kind of person in the novel or not. Not long after that the horse-drawn carriage reached the Fragrante family mansion.

"Lord Duke Freiheit, you said there's something you want to discuss with dad, but why don't you get off the train?" clara asked with a puzzled look and did not understand the duke

The Duke then smiled amiably at Clara who did not know of the Duke's true purpose.

"It will soon be nightfall, I don't want to disturb Master Earl Fragrante to rest,"

"And as for the streets I spoke of, I'll send the details by mail" said the Duke, who then left the Fragrante mansion

After the train had gone out of the gate of his house, Clara entered the house with a feeling of pleasure, because she felt lucky to be escorted home by her favorite character.

The next day, many letters came to his house, especially to him, which contained tea party invitations. Clara did not expect that the last time the party was held by duchess Aelfraed would make it a lot invited by the nobility who had attended the tea party, however, of all the invitation letters that came only one letter that made him interested in the stamp of the family coat of arms Freiheit.

The opening of the letter was by Clara who was curious about the contents of the letter sent by the Duke to her and when reading it she was surprised because the letter was more like a proposal letter submission activity than a invitation letter walk.

Clara then replied to the letter sent by the Duke and asked the servant to directly send the letter to Duke Freiheit's residence. A few days later the weekend came and he too would go with the duke for a walk, in accordance with the written promise that they will meet at the fountain of the city square, Clara decided to come a few minutes earlier than the promised time.

Minutes to hours passed but the duke did not come, Clara thought maybe the duke was just playing with her because the duke did not look to come at all. It was disappointing for Clara, but Clara decided to keep waiting because it was possible that the duke was busy and the affairs of the people were more important than personal matters.

"Little girl, what are you waiting for in this place?"

"Are you alone? Then how about going with us?" ask some men who according to Clara that the man in front of her is a man just might want to harass a woman

Although the man clearly asked Clara questions, Clara did not answer and pretended not to know. Feeling neglected by one of the men, the men wanted to slap Clara, but before the hand was laid on Clara's cheek, a man was seen clutching the hand of a man who would slap Clara tightly and a creepy look, a creepy look, gesturing not to do anything to the girl in front of him, a few men who saw the gaze immediately ran in a storm.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry I was late earlier I had to visit the shrine of the holy maiden because the priests there said that the holy maiden did not want to eat at all,"

"So I had to go to the temple to comfort him" said the man with a guilty and worried look towards Clara who was sitting on a chair waiting for the man's figure earlier

Clara shook her head slowly, not angry at all even though she had to wait for the duke for a long time, because she justified the problem as written in the plot novel ever happened.

"It's okay, master duke, I know the holy girl is more important because she saved this country,"

"And she is a precious treasure of the gods" said Clara, smiling gently at the Duke, who still seemed to feel guilty for Clara, who waited until lunch arrived

Because of the heavy heart of the Duke Freiheit invited Clara to lunch at a restaurant that is very luxurious and the equivalent food price can buy a small house. Clara was astonished to see the famous luxury restaurant that was expensive at this time instead she stepped on her feet at the restaurant for lunch.

When inside the restaurant how shocked Clara in her heart because the interior is so luxurious compared to the dining room in her home, in her heart poverty was so screaming. Clara, who was initially still amazed by the luxurious interior and expensive food, suddenly listened to the words of the Duke immediately made her focus on the conversation.

"Miss, even if I take you for a walk, but I'm late for the time I'm talking about,"

"Is there anything you want as an apology?"
