Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

She picked up a big piece of the crab and put it in her mouth but even then the man did not stop staring at her. She wanted to cry but she had no tears to shed. All she could do was to bear it since she was the one who started it. It was all her doing that this calamity befall on her.

Without even chewing into it, she replied with a flattering smile on her face to avoid the calamity standing in front of her,

"Wow! The taste of crab improved by a thousand fold because you have touched it my lord!" her sparkling eyes and the fake smile on her face was too obvious, yet the man felt satisfied and passed her another plate full of crabs,

"Good, then eat a lot!" he nodded and looked at the two plates that wall full of crabs. It would be enough to feed all three of them, so she would definitely be satisfied and happy. With that thought a satisfied smile brought on his face as he picked up the napkin to wipe his hands gracefully.

"..." who was he and where was their brother? The man who could discern between truth and lie without even opening his eyes!! Did he really believe in such a lame flattery and even looked at her with a pleased expression!

They both exchanged glances but when they looked at the smile of Evan that was worse than crying, they did not pursue the matter. They did not want her to die due to overeating or their father would scold them!

"Sigh! Are you both here just to discuss your food or would you even have a drink with us, brother?" asked Eve as she filled another glass of the drink and passed it to Leo, who took it leisurely.

Swirling the glass in his elegant fingers, he looked at his sisters with calm eyes.

"Hmm, I will! But what else?" He knew that the evening planned by Eve could not be this boring. Last time when they were collected here, they danced till their legs started to go numb. And next night, even mother was not able to wake up earlier and complained that her ankles had been sore.

"What else we will hear the sweet lies of the new couple like we are doing till now!" Eve rolled her eyes as she replied to the foolish question of her brother who frowned.

"We are not new lovers!"

"We are not uttering sweet lies!" they both replied at the same time with an urgency in their face.

"...." did he only hear that?

"..." why was she in such a hurry to announce that they were not lovers! As if she would be treated badly if she would be called his lover!

They both turned to look at each other with a frown on their face feeling that the other party was wrong here!

"Yeah right! Next you would say that you both can see the pigs flying with a heart shaped arrow in their hands!" Eve shook her head and Eli chuckled but nodded as she agreed with her sister.

"Eli! Are you too supporting her?" asked Leo with a surprised face. 

His younger sister could spout anything that came to her mind, but that did not follow with Eli who always said after thinking and only what was required.

"Why not? She is right. You both lie to each other. Though i did not understand why? Just confess to each other and get things sorted out.

Just looked at each other" Leo and Evan who was frowning at her turned to look at each other instinctively. 

"You both like each other but did not say that! Wasting your time in telling white lies!" she shook her head as they still did not understand what she was talking about.

"You know, i have a better option to make this night worthwhile" the eyes of Eve twinkled as she picked up her glass of wine and finished it in one gulp and hiked.

Then she picked up the bottle of the wine and filled her glance again hastily.

"Don't tell me it is to get drunk and lock both of them in a single room. Father would kill Leo and throw you out of the palace for this bizarre plan!" Eli raised a brow as she looked at the hasty actions of Eve who looked stunned by her sarcastic comment.

"Do not tell me that you are already drunk and in your sarcastic truth mood!" Eve rolled her eyes as she filled the glasses of everyone again and stared at Leo whose glass was still untouched.

Leo picked up the glass and just like her drank all the contents of the wine in a single gulp.

His Adam apple bobbed up and down as Evan gulped as she looked at the scene in front of her eyes. Why did she feel like he looked sexier when he drank like that?

Suddenly she started feeling hot and high even when she had not taken a single sip of the bitter liquid, which they seem to be enjoying too much.

"Do you want a sip too?" asked Eli with a mischievous grin on her face but Evan shook her head hurriedly as she did not want to be a part of their drinking community at all.

"So, your plan is really to make all of us drunk. Huh?" Leo even raised a brow as he looked at his sister.

"No!" She picked up all the empty glasses and filled them again and finally the bottle of wine got empty.

"Father is going to be angry when he saw that his favorite bottle of wine, he had kept for a happy occasion had already been finished"

"So, your plan is to make father angry till he scolds all of us. Wow! I would say that i was sleeping in my room and have no idea what he is talking about!"

[So what do you think, what could be Eve's plan?"]
