Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

"I what! Did you not want to be sure if i like a woman or not! So, was it enough or should I prove to you more!?"

As if the words were nothing but her order to leave for hell! She bolted up from her place and stood up as if there were pins and needles where she was sitting.

"No! I think that was more than enough! More than enough! I think we should leave.. Yes! Leave room so that we can sleep!

I mean.. In separate rooms! of course. You will go to yours and I will go to mine.

And by sleep I mean snoring! But that did not mean that I snored! I mea.. We should.. No .. I should.. That I am sleepy!" she did not know what she was dating any more if she was making any sense or not but she wanted to leave.

The devil was already too much to bear but now that he was drunk, he was unrestrained and she did not want to be one of his prey.

He looked at how the girl spouted nonsense, stood up and ran towards the door. She moved the knob and frowned and continued to push the door and he shook his head as he rubbed his forehead.

What kind of reaction was that? Was it acceptance or rejection? What did that even mean! He wanted to shout at her and ask her but she was so frightened that he was afraid that she would get a heart attack if he probed further.

Evan pushed the door once again. It had already been a dozen times since she had pushed the door but it was not opening at all!

Had they locked her here with the devil! Oh lord! How had she irked the girls this time to get into this condition!

She did not even have the strength to break the door by her shoulders like he could. Her gaze moved as she looked everywhere in the room except him.

And finally it settled on the balcony! Should she jump from there?

No! It would break all her bones! She did not want to end up handicapped.

She sobbed without tears once again!

"What are you even doing?" he asked with a frown! How could she be so dumb to not know that the door is pulled inside not outside! If she continued to press the door towards the opposite side. How would it open!?

The girl jumped on her place when she heard his irritated voice and turned to look at him with a scared face, 

"That.. that my lord, i think we are locked in the room and can not go out. Shall I shout and check if there is anyone standing outside the door so it would be opened!"

"Or.. or else.. We would have to spend a night here together!" she whispered so low yet he was able to hear it perfectly in the silent room and so was her face that was full of anxiety.

"....." was she so dumb that she did not realize she was opening the door wrongly or the kiss and wine had blurred her mind?

He opened his mouth to tell her that she was a fool and opened the door wrongly but he closed it again when a thought crossed his mind.

"If that is the case then I do not think the knights or maids would be still out there.

It is past midnight. They must have gone to sleep! It is already past the time of their retirement. So, your shouts would only end up to deaf walls!" he shrugged his shoulders as he stood up from his place. 

But instead of walking towards her, he walked towards the counter of the bar and picked up another bottle.

Taking the bottle back to the table, he sat on the sofa leisurely and made himself a drink!

"Umm, my lord. You are such a strong knight! The whole empire thinks that you are made up of iron and steel. 

Even i admire you for your skills and strength!" He raised a brow and looked at the girl who was suddenly singing ballads of his bravery! 

Her face had that flattering look when she always wanted to ask for a favor and a cynical smile formed on his face.

As if he was mocking her naivety! If he wanted to take her out, he would have told her the truth.

But technically, he did not lie. He just told her that the maids would not be there anymore.

"My lord! Since you are so strong then why don't you push the door! I am sure if you try it, the lock might break and we would be able to go out!" She looked at him with hopeful eyes but he just frowned.

"Oh! I can not do that!" he shook his head as three deep lines of worries formed on his face as if he was facing a big dilemma that she frowned at.

She walked closer to the place where he was standing and asking in a curious tone, 

"Why? I am sure that you have enough strength to break the door!" she assured him and he nodded,

"Of course, I can break the door if I want to. But as I said , I would not do that!" he shook his head, breaking her last hope to escape from this damned room.

"Why!" she asked in a bit of a frustrated tone! When he raised his head and looked at her rather innocently as if he was bound and could not do anything about the condition too..

"As I have told you earlier! This is the room where my parents used to spend time together.

Father has a lot of memories here.

He would be hurt if I damaged any part of this room. So, I can not ruin the door!"

"...….."
