Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 620 Sacrifice For Love

"The maid was working for you!" he said, realizing it late when he heard her smirking.

"You are late to realize that. And you will pay for it with your life." he added as he held his head by his hair and raised it so that he could look into his eyes,

The light of the room was lit. and now they were able to see each other clearly.

"Still arrogant huh? I will die but I will not bow.. Like that, huh?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

"But trust me you are the only one who would pay! Your whole family is going to pay with you.

Have you seen the condition of Leo. Hmm? His whole face is burnt and he is going to die soon.

Even his wife realized it. That was why she took him home instead of keeping him in the house of a physician.

Now it is your and Hannah's turn. She is such a traitor. Did she think that she would lead a happy life after betraying me?" his voice was cold as he pulled his hair tighter when Ethan winced.

His pain gives him satisfaction. A strange joy that he could not explain.

"Your father should have led a low life and this would have never happened. He always tried to show off that he was wiser, stronger and more deserving in front of the nobles with fake care for me. Did he think that I was a fool to not realize it?

He was only trying to show the world that he should have been the ruler. Do you know how many nights I have not slept because I was working hard against him?" his voice turned angry and full of hostility.

As if he could see young William in Ethan. His anger rose and he slapped him.

"He was just trying to get what belonged to me. That was why I asked the knights to kill you. But look at your luck, even if you were saved." his anger rose as he pushed his head on the wall with more force when blood started to come out of his forehead too.

"You should have died. All your family should have died but then.. How would I have enjoyed today? Killing you would have been easier but killing your wife and your son in front of you would be better.

I will keep you alive until you beg me to kill you." he said as he looked to his left.

Ethan followed his gaze with some difficulty. Blood was already flowing badly and his face was full of black and blue marks.

When he saw Hannah being dragged from the other side.

"Welcome traitor. You have irked me too. When I thought that you would help me. You fell in love with him!" he said with a smirk as if it was a joke, "and you even thought that i would neve come for you. How delusional."

The men dragged her with force but when her eyes fell on Ethan, she ran to him with widened eyes.

"Oh lord, what happened to you?" she held his head and hugged her tightly as she crouched on the ground.

"Let him go, your majesty. It had nothing to do with him." she glared at George who raised a brow and looked at her as if she was spouting nonsense.

"Do you think you have the right to speak like that?" he asked as he kicked her back with full force, "you are nothing but a crawling insect in front of me yet you dare to raise your voice? Do you not love your child at all." he kicked her again as if kicking her once was not enough.

"Aah!" she winced with pain when Ethan tried to stand up but his condition was worse. Still he held his feet so that Hannah would not be kicked anymore.

But Geroge just lagged and kicked him instead.

"True love! Your love will be remembered for a long time. Ah, I am touched. Since you are so interested in dying for her, then I will fulfill your wish." with that he kicked Ethan a few times.

Ethan covered Hannah with his body to make sure that she was not hurt when tears started to fall from her eyes.

She shook her head and apologized but it was not enough.

"I am sorry. You should not have come here. I have to pay for my sins. He is right. I could not get rid of them. Please, you don't need to suffer for me.'' George stared at both of them.

How they tried to get the pain to save the other but he only seething with anger looking at their love.

When he was suffering so much and needed to hide, how could they have such happiness in their life?

"So much love! Since you are so bent on saving each other, I am giving you a chance." he said as he stopped kicking them and sat on the chair near them.

"Since you are ready for any kind of sacrifice for the other one, I am giving you a chance. One of you, kill the other and leave. I will not stop you and no one would know that you have killed the other person." they both stared at him with shock written on their faces when he lifted a brow and laughed at them.

"Why? Were you not trying to save each other by sacrificing your life? I am giving you a chance.

Ethan, if you want to save Hannah and your child. Ask her to kill you. The moment she stabs your heart with that dagger, I promise I will let her go."

He tilted his head and looked at Hannah this time.

"But if you think that you are wrong and Ethan deserves to live then ask him to stab you and leave. He can have a new life with the woman he deserves."
