Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 339 [Bonus Chapter] The Best Proposal!(Chapter Preview)

But to his surprise, Leo smirked and spoke in a cold voice, "no! I am not worried about the girl at all!" Leo held the man in his arms whose eyes had widened with surprise and choked him below his chin on the neck and the man fell on the ground instantly!

He turned and soon a knight came and picked up the limp body from the ground and took it with him.

On the other side,

A group of three men walked towards Evan but before they could even come in her vicinity, 5 knights in the clothes of commoner made a wall to block the way.

The men glared at the human wall only to realize that they were all knights!

"You!"

"Capture all of them and take them to the prison!" and before the men could run away, the knights took hold of all of them and took them to prison.

Leo stared at them as he forwarded his hands and a knight passed a bottle of wine and two glasses to him.

"Keep them in the underground dungeon until I return back to the palace and check the whole vicinity. There might be more like them."

"Yes, young lord!" They all bowed their heads and dragged the men with them.

Wiping the sweat from his face, he climbed the mountain back when he saw that Evan was laying on the carpet while gazing at the stars.

Her face had a beautiful smile that was beyond the greed, selfishness and other evils of the society. It was so clear and innocent that he did not move closer to her but continued to stare at her from a distance.

"You are back!" she whispered slowly but did not turn to look at him, "I thought you would take a long time since you ran in the wrong way!"

Taking steps closer to her, he laid beside her and she leaned on his chest as she continued to stare at the stars.

"I am sorry for leaving you alone! But I brought your favourite wine as a compensation!" She knew that these kinds of fairs do not sell wine!

It is a commoner fair that could not have something only nobles had yet she nodded but did not say a word!

Even when she said that she did not believe those words, when left alone, her mind was swirled with the same thoughts that tears started to well in her eyes.

Leo rubbed her back when she leaned on his chest.

"Evan, there is a reason that I brought you here tonight!"

"........" thud! The words felt like daggers to her already overwhelmed heart! So, they all were right! He had a reason to go closer to her.. Could it be…

"That day, when I proposed to you, I realized that it was too bland.

I did not have any experience, so I did not know how to do it properly, but that did not mean that I love you any less than those who bring roses and expensive gifts!" the words were barely above a whisper yet her eyes widened and she sat up abruptly as she stared at him.

He was already looking towards her with his eyes full of love!

"So, I want to meet you again! Evangeline Rosaador, I did not only want to make you my wife, but the partner who would share my life, my happiness, my sorrow and my pain!

I want you to be part of my soul, my heart, the base of my entity! Even if death brings us apart, I want me to leave first so that I do not have to spend a single moment without you!

I tried to bring roses, but they were so bland in front of you. I tried hard to look for a jewel that could match your lustre but I failed.

In the end, I could only think of this way to show how much I love you!" just as the words left his mouth a strong boom sound and the sky field with fireworks.

The sky looked so beautiful that she continued to stare at it for long when she felt his arms holding her waist and she leaned her back on his chest. More tears started to fill her eyes and for the first time in her life she realized that she had become a crybaby!

Yet the moment was the best moment of her life that even when the fireworks ended, she continued to stare at the sky until something shining took her attention.

Her eyes widened when she realized what he was talking about!

"I love you Evan, you are mine!" formed with the candles below the hill they were sitting on and around it was a big heart made up of red roses and in the centre of it was a ring that she was twinkling like stars!

The place which should have been filled with commoners was completely empty and filled with roses and soon the sound of the music started to fill the air..

"This!"

"This is how it was described in the book you were reading these days! I heard that you told Evelyn you wanted this kind of proposal!" he whispered as she turned to look at him,

She had thought that candles were warm, the roses were soft and the diamond would be the most beautiful ornament to make her day perfect!

But now that she looked into his eyes, she realized.. The most warm, soft and beautiful thing she could ever have was his embrace and his love for her that had filled her so much that she felt like her heart would burst right there!

She pounced in his embrace as tears started to soak his shirt when he chuckled.

"At least say yes, Evangeline! I have done so much hard work in preparing it!"

"Ouch!" in exchange he got another elbow on his abdomen as she glared at him but then closed her eyes and whispered,

"I want to give you, myself tonight!"
