Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 194 - [Bonus ]

—

Before Leo could reply anything to Raymond and Evan, a soft and elegant voice came from his behind, as Olivia come from the other side, 

"My lord!" she walked forward in his direction and stood there possessively marking her territory. It had taken a lot of efforts for her to get rid of Evan and plead with Leo to spend time with her.

She had used the excuse to help the other knights so he agreed to take a tour of the whole area. But who would have thought that would bump straight into Evan. If she had known that, she would have asked to have tea in the office only.

She had thought he had to tend to an urgent matter when he increased the speed of his footsteps, so she continued to walk leisurely. But when she saw him from a distance and walked towards his direction, she noticed that Evan was once again leaning to him,

'Wench!' she could not let his man go, no matter what! The smile on her face turned stiff and her face turned ugly. The moment she saw Olivia come towards them, she created further distance between them as if he was smelling and she could not bear it.

"Did you get hurt?'' Leo did not seem to care about the ugly face of Olivia or disheartened Raymond. He scanned her body from top to bottom as he walked closer to her and held her hand.

He only let her go when he was sure there was no injury.

"......" she had just tripped over the carpet and he had held her in his arms all this time. From where she could have been injured?

Turning towards Olivia, he asked her in a soft voice, "are you hungry too?" Though his voice was still indifferent, being asked for food by Leo was still a great achievement for Olivia. 

It meant that he cared about her. Her whole face that had turned ugly just a while ago bloomed like a flower. And she looked towards Evan with a smirk on her face. 

Her eyes were still filled with the scene of Evan and Leo hugging each other, it was enough to burn his heart and her eyes glowed with revenge and the will to take revenge. 

She had worked so hard in standing up at the highest position in the noble rankings. And be one of the most sought after noble ladies. What right did Evan have to compete with her?

Besides throwing herself at others, she could do nothing. Who knew how she had reached this place! She gritted her teeth as she looked at the big animated eyes of Evan and her blossoming lips. The meal would be a good chance to show Even that seduction was only temporary. In the long run, her wisdom and etiquette would be praised. And Evan would not even be able to stand in front of her!

"Yes, I came here in a hurry as I was worried for you. But now that you mention it. I did not have lunch yet. Shall we have lunch together?" she asked as she fluttered her eyes.

She added the last line because she was afraid that it could be a trap where he could ask her to go back home since she was hungry. As, when it comes to Leo, she could not be sure about anything.

"Sure, we will go to the best inn here." he nodded his head and then looked back to Arden who was walking behind her all this time.

"........" all the knights have a mess here and Olivia knew that leo also ate there to save time and effort. He was not like other nobles who only ate at expensive places.

But was he asking her to go out with him? Could it be considered as a date? Sure that he had finally realised her value in his life, she was on cloud nine.

If she had known that getting the attention of Leo was this easy. She would have come to the knights academy long ago and had helped the knights with all they would demand for!! But it was still not late since Evan was still far away in getting his attention fully.

Thinking of all this, her face broke into a radiant smile. As she bowed her head with a shy look.

"...." was she not late to act shy now?!

"Since you are going out to have lunch too, we will trouble you to take us with you!" just when Olivia had thought that we were going to have a close and intimate meal with each other. She heard him asking Raymond to join them.

She raised her head to look at her in bewilderment when she noticed that he was not even looking at her. His eyes were still lingering on Evan's face.

The girl was not even paying him any attention yet he was hoodwinked on her beauty. Looking at the scene the smile that had formed on her lips froze and her face turned ugly again.

"....." only she was not the one who was shocked. Even Raymond was looking at his master with a stunned look on his face. If Leo wanted he could have gone to the biggest inn and booked a private room and ordered anything for them. Why did he want to come with them?

Could it be that he wanted to have both girls by his side? He had never seen his master with another woman so he was bewildered with the thought process of his master, but as a good servant he could only nod and invite them to have a meal together.

"Of course, we were going to the new inn that had opened just a month ago. It would be our honor to have a meal with you!" 

"...." both women looked at Leo and Raymond and then at each other with gritted teeth.

"We can take my carriage to go."

"It will not be needed, we are going on the horse of Raymond."
