The Monstrous Grand Duke’s Fake Lady

Chapter 65

At the same time, the knights who had gone on hunting had finally arrived. In addition to the recent captures, there were also some small animals that had been locked up in small cages.

Vivian’s mouth went immediately wide when she saw that most of the captures were those ferocious animals that their sizes were truly hard to even determine.

If one were to catch only one, it would never be this much. Did these people even dry the seeds of the animals that lived here?

“Do you usually hunt this much?”

Knox shrugged at Vivian’s words.

“Well… It’s a bit special.”

I don’t think it can be dismissed as a little special. Vivian stared intently at Knox, but he still kept his silence.

In the end, while still holding on to the question, Vivian departed to the starting point with Knox once again.

Just when they arrived there, the other nobles eventually arrived one by one as well. However, none of them had caught as much as Knox’s knights.

At the end of the day, Knox had become the winner of the hunting competition.

Vivian was watching the knights who seemed much prouder than the Grand Duke with such a complicated gaze before turning her eyes to her clothes. It wasn’t a matter that could be solved just because she was worried, still Vivian couldn’t help but to worry.

“Why do you keep looking at your clothes?”

“Ah…… the wrinkles on my clothes were more than I thought. I was at a loss to what the, mmm, servant would think if they were to see this.”

Knox fell into thoughts for a moment at the words that she made up rather roughly. Then, he ordered one of his knights to hold out a very small rabbit among all those animals that had been captured.

“Then, take this one.”

“Why?”

“Because you were the one who caught it.”

“Me?”

“That’s right. Didn’t you participate in the hunt and capture it all by yourself? That’s why you can take this one ahead.”

“I…… I understand.”

Vivian eventually realized Knox’s intention and smiled brightly.

“Thank you.”

“It’s nothing to be thankful for.”

Vivian nodded slightly towards him before heading to her place. Knox turned his head after watching Vivian disappeared, and then—

“Is this the reason you decided to go out in the morning?”

Knox’s face that was just decorated with a smile immediately turned crooked at the tap on his arm by someone who had arrived at his side. Although he was the one who held this event, Knox was not happy at all with the appearance of his friend, who had disturbed his peace.

“You are…….”

“So? Who’s that?”

“…My fiancée.”

“The rumored fiancée? Didn’t you say it was only based on a contract? Since when did the two of you get this close?”

Knox didn’t feel the need to answer this boisterous person at all. What was even more, that person had shown up at a very unnecessary time.

Knox took a step towards the knights with his lips still closed.

“Hey—hey!”

As the Grand Duke escaped while not giving any answer, his friend quickly reached out to him. However, the austere Knox just gave him yet another icy-cold treatment.

As he stepped forward to go after the Grand Duke, he turned his head and glanced at Vivian. He grinned with a mysterious expression before he continued to follow Knox soon after.

As she walked down the hallway from the Young Lady’s room, Amanda soon opened her eyes towards Alexia, who was approaching from the other side.

Evidently, Alexia was someone who could never raise her head from her pillow until Amanda were to leave her room. Amanda’s eyes immediately shot open when she saw that apparently, Alexia had already changed her clothes and was currently wandering outside.

“My Lady? When did you wake up?”

“Amanda, it’s me.”

“That way of talking… is that you, Vivi?”

The one she thought to be the Young Lady, whom she was attending to, turned out to be Vivian herself. She blinked repeatedly at the utterly unbelievable appearance as in her eyes, she could only see Young Lady Alexia herself.

When Vivian had been dressed in those clothes for the first time, it was apparent that Vivian was the one who had been wearing those clothes—no matter how much she looked at it.

For that reason, Amanda had kept an awkward gaze upon her friend, who seemed to ooze an aura of dignity in her actions.
