Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"Ha! So you were planning to stand there and talk more if I had not called you?" he asked instinctively when he heard her desire to still stand there and talk to the man she did not even know. His tone was cold and furious but she did not even notice the unusuality in it.

All she felt was that he was bossing her around again and this time he was a bit rude. So, all she wanted was to cut him on whatever he spoke.

"Of course, standing there was better than bearing your cold blizzards!" she gulped when she heard her own voice. Had she accepted loudly that he was a freezing machine?

What if he felt humiliated and killed her to set an example. Cold sweat broke her body and she finally raised her head and looked at the man who was looking stunned.

But before she could deny or apologise, he closed his eyes and turned his head to the other side!

Phew! She was glad that he was sleeping sleepy or she would have got beaten by him till death.

The whole time he had kept his eyes closed, though if looked closely a layer of frost could be seen forming on his face. 

He somehow thought that she would apologise to him when she realised that she had spoken rudely but the girl seemed to be enjoying the scenery and had completely forgotten about his presence.

'What did it mean? Did she not care about him at all?' he gritted his teeth and continued to pretend to be sleepy all the time to the training ground of the knights.,

He only opened his eyes when the speed of the carriage slowed down and it stopped in a while.

Opening the door of the carriage abruptly, he walked out as if demons were chasing him. 

While he was busy curbing his jealousy, Evan was looking at the scenery in a dazed manner.

The place was not an open ground where the knights would be fighting but it was a grand hall. 

The grand door was bigger than the palace they used to live in. The flashy uniforms of the knights were very attractive and the sound of the swords and whistles had covered the palace completely but what caught her attention was the sound of neigs.

How many horses could there be to create so much noise!?

She was in daze as she looked around her excitedly from the wonder that she did not notice he had already walked out of the carriage. But when she saw that she was all alone in the carriage, she took hasty steps and came out too.

But before she could even take a step further, she heard the sound of footsteps and a chorus of greetings,

"Master"

She looked up only to see that both sides of the entrance were covered by young and muscular knights who were standing there in a straight position.

Despite so many knights surrounding him, Leo was still looking different from all of them. Basking in the sunlight of the bright sun, his aura was distinguished. The rays of sun were dancing on his face.

Wearing his red uniform, he was looking regal and elegant like a tiger who was beyond all the other animals in the woods. His presence was distinguished and can not be kept hidden with the presence of all the small animals around him.

Followed by all his men he took a few steps when he noticed that he was all alone, 

So, he stopped in his tracks and turned back to look at her. When his eyes fell on a stunned girl that was standing there dumbfounded while her eyes were filled with admiration.

The knights who were following him stopped abruptly too as the later ones crashed on the others who were in front of them.

"Is there something wrong, master?" asked the knight who was standing just behind Leo when he noticed that the master was not even looking towards them but behind them.

He frowned and instinctively looked back to see what was there when her eyes fell on a girl who was enchanting beauty.

Yet she was looking ignorant and foolish with the choice of dress she had made. If she would have chosen a different dress, she would have looked much prettier!

Was she the infamous commoner girl that the master had taken a liking too?

Noticing his gaze, many other knights looked back and found a dazed girl who was standing there awkwardly as if she did not know where to go and what to do!

"Are you still not able to walk due to your obesity?"

"..........." he had called her fat for the second time in the day. Any woman would be angry if she were called fat once, not to forget that she was using the term often to call her fat!

Everyone who was still lost looking into her enchanting face looked towards her body instinctively when they heard their master calling her obese!

Even they were surprised that he was calling a frail and slim girl who was leaner than the willow tree obese! Was it a new endearment his master had chosen to call his bride?

She wanted to beat him and pull his hair when she noticed that all the eyes were staring at her but none of them were staring at her face now. They all were looking at her body and especially at her hands and her waist.

She instinctively straightened her body and held her breath to look thinner.  Not sure about other things, she knew one thing for sure that she had a proportionate weight. She had a thin waist and proportionate lower and upper body. Her perfect hourglass figure was the matter of jealousy in the town.

She looked at him with confident eyes as she asked with a smirk on her face that enchanted everyone further

"Perhaps you are talking about yourself. huh?"?
