Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 195 - [Bonus ] You Two Seem Closer

"We can take my carriage to go." offered Leo as he knew that Raymond did not have one. But before he could take a further step, the cold voice of Evan interrupted her in between,

"It will not be needed, we are going on the horse of Raymond. You and Lady Olivia can take it alone!" her voice was full of indignancy, her eyes were shooting daggers on him. She was looking just like a jealous wife who had been neglected by her husband. 

But both men took it as a way to avoid Leo, whose face turned gloomy in an instant. The color of his face was dark and smoke could be seen rising from his head.

On the other side, Olivia was not any better. Both of the men's attention was on Evan, she was forgotten in the sidelines. No matter how much effort she put in, she was not able to get the attention of Leo, however Evan was able to do it even when she was behaving so rudely to him.

Before the awkward situation increases further, Raymond came forward when the cold eyes of Leo started boring holes into his face,

"Of course, taking a carriage would be a better option. We all will reach on time and together. It is too cold out to ride a horse!" he shook his head and then looked at his master with a pleading look as Evan who scoffed.

She knew they would not go against Leo. but if he wanted to have a meal with Olivia, then he should. Why was he dragging her with him?

A streak of light passed in Olivia's eyes when he saw how Evan was forcing Raymond to take her on his horse. How intimate would the ride be! If only u Leo thought that Evan was not a loyal woman. Would he still like her?

She walked towards Leo and stood beside him, "if Evan is so engrossed in riding a horse, you should not force her. Look how she got angry. I think she is too desperate to ride a horse with Sir Raymond.

It would not be a good point to force her since we were going to meet in the inn for a meal anyway." Although she used the word horse, even a fool could understand that she was pointing out that Raymond and Evan were pretty close to each other, also using their rights on each other's things.

Though Raymond was not equal to standing with Leo but he was one of the best knights that could have been the head of the second order of knights if not for his commoner blood. 

He had a good temperament and a bright future. He would earn immense fame and fame and prosperity in the future. 

Though they both were commoners, what Evan has except her good face and seductive looks!? Even Raymond was too good for her. But as long as Leo was not with her, she did not care whom the Vixen trap with her looks.

So, even if she was pairing Raymond and Evan. she was doing a favor on both of them. As Evan would only lose if she continued to compete with her for Leo.

But as the words left her mouth. Leo's face turned darker than the bottom of the pan. His eyes turned darker and cold.

His gaze fell on Evan, as if he was waiting for her to explain but she just snorted and looked on the other side.

"That is good that Evangeline is making friends. But it is still cold, so let's go together in the carriage!!" the smile that had formed on the face of Olivia after hearing the first line turned stiff later. In the end, he still did not let her go.

Though Olivia was still not satisfied with the result, if she got a few more chances to show how close Raymond and Evan were, then this meal could go in her benefit. So, she nodded with a pleasant smile on her face.

Before Evan could find a good point to retaliate, she saw that everyone had already agreed to it and Leo had even started walking towards the exit. 

So, she could only accept it and follow them with gritted teeth. She could not believe that Olivia had given up on her alone date so easily. She had to find a good way to excuse herself later.

They sat in the carriage with complete silence. The moment they all sat, Leo closed her eyes as if he was tired and wanted to take a nap. Since it was his regular habit, no one paid much attention to it.

But Olivia could not let this chance go. With a pleasant smile on her face, she let go of her ego and talked to Raymond that was beneath her position.

"So, I heard that you were even chosen as the second in command of knights. Now all you need is a wife to settle down." she smiled as she asked the question and then looked at Leo with her peripheral vision but he did not have any reaction on his face.

"Oh, yes! I have chosen my lady. Thanks to the hard work my lord had done on me." he replied with a bow, completely avoiding the last time. But Olivia was not ready to give up that easily.

"Hmm, I am sure you will be looking for a good girl too. But for knights it is hard to find time for that. But you both seem to know each other well!" her smile only turned widener when she added it

"Snap" the eyes that were closed and the face that were serene just a while ago snapped open and the face turned frosty as he looked straight into the eyes of Raymond. His whole face was shrieking.

'One wrong answer and I would throw you out of the carriage when the horse would be running at full speed and you would not be able to see tomorrow.'
